Villa Au Paille en Queue St Barts

Au Paille en Queue: Private Beach Access in St. Jean

Au Paille en Queue is a private, modern two-bedroom villa offering direct beach access in the coveted area of St. Jean. This estate features a distinct two-bungalow configuration that ensures seclusion, centered around a swimming pool and a covered terrace designed for al fresco living.

The villa combines convenience with a bright, airy atmosphere, complete with air conditioning throughout, satellite TV, a fully equipped kitchen, and a gas barbecue. The outdoor space is the central gathering area of the home. A wooden terrace connects the two separate bungalows, creating a natural flow for sunbathing and socializing. Inside, the living spaces are defined by clean lines and an open, airy feel. Vaulted ceilings with exposed white-painted wooden beams run throughout, enhancing the sense of space. The villa's two-bungalow layout is ideally suited for two couples or a small family, providing distinct private quarters for all. Each bedroom is a quiet retreat with high, beamed ceilings and a simple, modern aesthetic.

The villa’s two bedrooms are configured to offer both connection and privacy, each featuring a king-size bed and an en-suite bathroom with a shower. Bedroom 1 is located within the main bungalow. It has direct access to the terrace and can also be entered from the living room, providing flexible circulation. This room includes air conditioning, a TV with French and US satellite channels, and enjoys an ocean view. Its en-suite bathroom is equipped with a shower, and the design emphasizes the indoor-outdoor connection with large windows. Bedroom 2 is situated in a separate bungalow, accessible only from the terrace, ensuring complete privacy. It mirrors the amenities of the first, with a king-size bed, air conditioning, a TV with both French and US feeds, an ocean view, and a private en-suite bathroom with a shower.

The living room is equipped with air conditioning, a fan, and mosquito netting, and opens to the terrace through large sliding doors. It is furnished with blush-colored sofas positioned before picture windows that frame ocean views. Entertainment is provided by a TV offering both French and US satellite channels. Adjacent to the living area, the kitchen is separated by a small island that doubles as a breakfast bar. It features light teal or green cabinetry with a black countertop and includes a fan, mosquito netting, a microwave, an espresso machine, a toaster, and a dishwasher.

At its center lies a 13.1 by 26.2 foot swimming pool, positioned for a refreshing dip with views toward the ocean. A pergola with a roof of loosely woven natural material shelters a dining area, while a gas barbecue stands ready for grilling. Plenty of sun loungers are provided. One distinctive feature is a gazebo sheltering a large, plush white sectional sofa, a cozy spot that doubles as a daybed for an afternoon nap. A screened door from the primary bungalow leads to a serene, enclosed garden, where a stretch of grass and lush tropical foliage creates a peaceful area. Also, two friendly cats from a neighboring property are known to visit the terrace occasionally.

Located in the heights of St. Jean, Au Paille en Queue sits in a quiet area near the St. Jean pond. The villa enjoys a lovely panorama of the rolling landscape and the brilliant blue hues of the Atlantic Ocean. Its key advantage is the beach access; the famous St. Jean beach is just a 10 to 15-minute walk or a very short drive away, placing you close to the sand, water, and beachfront restaurants and boutiques. The airport is approximately a 10 to 20-minute drive, and a 4x4 vehicle is not required for access. This rental strikes a deliberate balance between a peaceful hillside retreat and easy proximity to one of the island’s most vibrant areas. For over 20 years, Premium Island Vacations has connected travelers with distinctive properties like Au Paille en Queue, where thoughtful design meets a practical location. Additional facilities at the villa include an iron and ironing board. The property welcomes children but does not permit pets or events. Please note that for the holiday period in December, the villa's rental rate is based on full occupancy, independent of the number of bedrooms utilized. To accommodate larger groups, this residence may be booked in conjunction with the adjacent property, Villa Anse Etoilée. Au Paille en Queue delivers a straightforward blend of comfort, privacy, and a highly convenient location in St. Jean.
