Villa Au Coeur du Rocher St Barts

Au Coeur du Rocher is defined by its architecture. Its architectural identity is defined by high, vaulted ceilings with exposed dark wood beams running through the living room, kitchen, and bedrooms. This creates a sense of rustic spaciousness, a framework that feels both solid and airy.

The visual vibe is bright and neutral, with white walls and light floors providing a clean canvas. Warm wood tones from the beams and furniture offer contrast, while vibrant pops of orange and red in cushions and textiles deliver a jolt of island energy. It is a contemporary villa where the design deliberately steps back to let the view take center stage. Space here flows with an easy, intuitive rhythm. The layout spans two levels with an open-plan main floor. You enter a large great room where the living area and kitchen merge into one breezy, shared space. Large sliding glass doors dominate the wall, framing a direct ocean vista and opening completely to the terrace. This design principle, central to the villa's architecture, is evident throughout the entire property. The living room is furnished with a substantial wicker sectional sofa, its white cushions accented with those bold orange and red pillows.

A fan turns lazily overhead, and the room is equipped with Apple TV, Canalsat, Dish Network, and fiber internet. From the sofa, your gaze is drawn straight through the glass to the pool and the horizon beyond. Adjacent, the kitchen continues the theme of bright, open functionality. It features sleek, dark cabinetry that contrasts sharply with light countertops, a striking visual anchor. The equipment list is thorough for a holiday rental: you will find a microwave, a coffee machine and an espresso machine, a toaster, a blender, and a dishwasher. A central island provides casual seating, the breakfast bar noted by competitors. Practical extras include an ice maker, a squeezer for fresh citrus, and a wine cellar. What works here is the pass-through window to the covered outdoor dining terrace, a clever design that lets you serve meals directly from the kitchen to the al fresco table without missing a moment of the conversation.

Outdoor living is the central pursuit at this Vitet villa. The terrace is a wide, tiled deck that functions as an open-air extension of the main living room. The 26.2 by 13.1 foot rectangular pool is the centerpiece, a heated expanse of water positioned to emphasize the ocean vista over a minimalist metal railing. You can swim at any time of day, with the heater ensuring comfort. Lounge chairs are placed for sunbathing, while shaded seating areas offer retreat. The covered dining terrace is outfitted with a long white table, consistently set with vibrant red placemats for eight. A gas barbecue is at your disposal for grilling, and the villa’s facilities include a CD player and an iron and ironing board for convenience. This is where you will spend your days, moving from sun to shade, from swim to meal, all within a single, view-focused plane. The bedrooms are configured for privacy, each with an en-suite bathroom and its own connection to the outdoors.

The primary suite, Bedroom 1, commands the most attention. It is connected to the main living area and opens directly onto the terrace, sharing that panoramic ocean view. A king-size bed sits within a classic four-poster dark wood frame, adding a touch of island style beneath the vaulted, beamed ceiling. It comes with air conditioning, a fan, and a safe for your valuables. Entertainment is provided by a TV with US satellite and a DVD player, complemented by an Apple TV and an iPod Dock. The en-suite bathroom includes both a bathtub and a shower, and a large dressing room offers ample storage space. Bedroom 2 is located on the lower level, offering a separate entrance and enhanced seclusion. It also features a king-size bed and enjoys the same ocean view, accessed from its own private terrace. This room is similarly equipped with air conditioning, a fan, a safe, and entertainment options including a TV with both French and US satellite channels and a DVD player.

Location defines the experience at Au Coeur du Rocher. Perched on the hillside in Vitet, the villa offers a sense of quiet privacy and elevated perspective. The ocean view stretches out toward Marigot and the distant islands of Frégate and Bonhomme. According to competitor data, the popular beaches of Lorient and St. Jean are approximately a five-minute drive away, with shops and restaurants within a ten-minute radius.

The airport is a 10 to 20-minute transfer, and a 4x4 vehicle is not required for access. This positions the villa as a convenient yet secluded base, a mid-range three-bedroom property that delivers consistent value and a straightforward, view-oriented St. Barts experience.
