Great week on the Island
The villa is located in the best part of the Island. The views of St Jean Bay are the best. You will need no formal exercise as the walk up from the beach is a great workout but well worth it for your fantastic view. The exterior space is fabulous. We hosted a party with 20 people and had room to spare. Peggy, Jerome and Phillipe are very helpful when needed. I also rented villa Mystique previously. The difference between the two is that Mystique's bedrooms are slightly better and has an infinity pool but Sunrise has the awesome exterior space. Can't really go wrong with either one. You probably would want a 4 WD vehicle as some of the grades are steep coming up to the house and if it is wet you would like the extra traction. All in all, great time had by all.

Ideal Villa for our son's wedding Week
Villa Sunrise hosted our family for our son's wedding week. It was our first time in Saint Barth's and the Caribbean. Our daughter and her husband joined us as did our Cousin Julie. We hosted 40-50 people for The Rehearsal Dinner at Villa Siunrise which was a perfectly comfortable and spectacularly situated event none of our guests will ever forget. Key to our experience was Peggy's guiding hand and Chef Bernard. They began planning with us months before our visit, met us several times during the week and performed marvelously at every turn. The food was a real treat, the best of what we asked for. However the experience, ambiance, relaxing with such a commanding view of Saint Jean's Bay and reuniting with family and friends gave us just the best memories we could have hoped for. We manage vacation property ourselves in Nantucket. Peggy met and exceeded all our expectations. Villa Sunrise is also located very centrally and comfortably inn Saint Jean, near shops and conveniences without the congestion of Gustavia. It is well equipped and spaceous. We strongly recommend it, especially for anyone seeking a gathering place for family and friends.

Wonderful week!
We stayed at the villa in February, 2013, and had a wonderful week. There were three couples, and we stayed in the three upstairs bedrooms. There is a fourth bedroom on a lower level that we did not use. All bedrooms had nice bathrooms, mosquito netting on the beds (although bugs were not a problem), and beds were comfortable. There is a maid that comes daily and can do laundry if needed. The photos in the listing accurately reflect the overall appearance of the villa. The outdoor spaces are beautiful, the pool/fountain are perfect, the kitchen is adequately appointed and there is an outdoor grill. It is a very comfortable villa, not ultramodern, but cozy in an island setting, and private. We had no safety concerns.
The best part of the villa is it's location. It has a beautiful view overlooking St Jean bay, Eden Rock resort, and the airport. (You cannot hear the planes but can watch them land and takeoff). You can walk down the hill to St Jean restaurants, shopping etc. Parking can be difficult, so this is especially helpful. After driving to other parts of the island, I was very hapy to be in St Jean.
The owners met us at the ferry dock, helped arrange our rental car, and transport luggage. They live on the island and are easily accesible. There was a nice introduction to the villa on arrival, and a binder describing contact numbers, wi-fi connections, etc. They also helped us with our departure. The villa is fairly priced, and wiring money in advance was not a problem.
I have traveled to a number of Carribean islands and stayed in villas. This experience was outstanding, and I would have no trouble returning or recommending to friends. St Barth is a fabulous island getaway.

Panoramic Views
The View from Villa Sunrise was spectacular. Views of the airport, The Eden Rock and St. Jean Beach. Philip and Peggy were right there anytime we had questions or needed assistance. Amelia was extremely pleasant, quietly and efficiently cleaned around us. Overall a very pleasant stay.

Disappointing
At first sight the villa was wonderful but as time went on it became apparent there were problems. The hot water tank wasn't turned on for 3 days in one of the ensuite bathrooms after many promises. The airconditioner in another bedroom went out about 2 am. We didn't open the windows because of the mosquitos. (No screens). The next day a new airconditioner was finally installed and finished about supper time. The septic backed up into 2 bedrooms. The plumbers had to bail out the septic tank. The smell was unbelieveable. The dishwasher didn't have hot water so the soap never dissolved. Beach towels went missing and the owner ask me if I had them. Turned out the maid had them in her trunk. The owner, Peggy, was always very helpful and apologetic. Nevertheless I started to wonder "what next"?? But it was our 50th anniversary and we took our 3 sons and their spouses. As I see it the house is old and paint covers a lot of sins but the inside is falling apart.

Extraordinary Vacation with Friends
When you celebrate a special occasion such as a 50th birthday with friends you want everything to be perfect. When we booked Villa Sunrise we had no idea just how much better than perfect it could be. We had never been to the Caribbean or St. Barths and did not know what to expect. Peggy was wonderful from the moment we contacted her and throughout our stay. She assisted us in the arrangement of the car rental, airports and connecting flights, restaurants, shops and a scuba trip. Her brother Philippe was also extremely helpful in picking us up at the airport and showing us around the Villa.
The online pictures of Villa Sunrise are lovely but seeing it for the first time was breathtaking. The outdoor living space was our favorite and we spent our time there enjoying the sunsets. We enjoyed the pool in the afternoon and cooked a couple of meals on the barbeque. We loved the island and those who live there. All of the shop keepers were very friendly and we found amazing restaurants. And the beaches were stunning. We will be back and will encourage our other friends to join us so that we can book both Villa Sunrise and Villa Mystique. We could not have had a better time and Peggy was responsible for making it happen.
What an extraordinary vacation.

SIMPLY HEAVEN.....
You will never want to leave Villa Sunrise. The views are amazing , the pool refreshing and its location on the island is the best. We had four couples down here for a 40th birthday and we could not have picked a better villa. The outside living area and the pool are SOOO RELAXING , VERY PRIVATE and SPACIOUS. Peggy was right there for all our needs, ie dinner reservations, taxi help or simply good advice about the island. We were a short drive to Flammands and Gustavia and a good walk up the hill from Nikki Beach and St Jeans beach. We hope to come back to St Barths each year, and when we do come back, we will back at VILLA SUNRISE each time.
I would recommend this villa for couples, families with older children ( no shallow end in the pool) and Rock stars....

A touch of Heaven
This place is amazing. We absolutely loved the villa; everything was really perfect, super clean and special. It is the best spot on the island with breathtaking views and easy access to the beach of St Jean, one of the best on earth for kids, clean and gentle warm water, with easy snorkeling for kids.
Upon arrival, we were greeted at the airport by Peggy, the manager and the sweetest person on the island (no kidding!!). We were a bit skeptical about the small airplane but actually it was a very pleasant and safe trip (better than CO to Newark!!) + fun for kids.
We rented a 4WD (highly recommended since the entire island is full of hills) and drove to the villa which was literally two minutes away. The house is very spacious, clean and equipped with the latest technology (ipod dock, flat screen, wifi...). The pool was perfect size, warm and lots of towels were provided (+umbrellas and beach chairs). All bed rooms had air-conditioning and mosquito net. Decor was beautiful, casual elegance. Furniture was good-quality and in generally good shape. A crib was also provided for my daughter.
Last but not least it was nice to know we could rely on Peggy if we had any questions or needed anything, anytime. She did stop by a few times during the week to make sure everything was fine.
Bottom line it was an unbelievable vacation and we felt we were 1 week in paradise and YES, I would recommend this property to a friend or relative.

Wonderful Villa!
My husband and I have been visiting St Barts for the past 18 years and have seen many properties, Villa Sunrise is a find! The villa is very spacious, comfortable and well designed. We were superbly taken care of by Peggy and Philippe, they are very attentive and kind. Villa Sunrise has gorgeous views, privacy, a great pool, and a fully equipped kitchen. When we came back in the afternoon after a day of beautiful beaches and great food we felt great relaxing at the pool. Don't miss Santa Fe Restaurant on your way to Governors beach. Villa Sunrise is a jewel set in the tropical setting of St Barts. Villa Sunrise is a treasure which we plan on enjoying again soon!!!

We had an excellent stay at Sunrise Villa. The location could not be any better (unless of course it was right on the beach) but it is right up the hill in St. Jean, a very short distance from the best beach (St. Jean) and hotel (Eden Rock) on the island and a short drive to the main town in Gustavia The outdoor area of the house is especially nice and has lots of seating that can accommodate many people. The view is fantastic, and our little daughter loved watching the planes land and take off at the airport nearby. The bedrooms were cozy, with mosquito netting on all beds which unfortunately is a must in St. Barths. The house was well cleaned every day by a lovely housekeeper. The best part was the management...Peggy and Phillipe, who were incredibly accommodating and helpful. They made sure we were very well taken care of, gave us advice on dining, diving, beaches, etc. They are great people. One thing to note is there is not a shallow area in the pool if you have young kids or disabled guests who might need that sort of thing. However, our kiddo was happy playing on the pool stairs and going to the beach. As for recommendations nearby: we liked food from Maya's To Go, enjoyed lunch and swimming at the Eden Rock hotel which had a very calm beach great for our young daughter. Nikki Beach was fun for lunch, drinks, music etc. esp. on Sunday. La Plage was also great for renting beach chairs by the ocean and having lunch or drinks. L'Isola was wonderful upscale Italian in Gustavia. Shell beach was also fun, lots of kids there. Enjoy!!!
