About this house rental

Summary:
The Villa African Queen has a unique and magical soul. It has a warm and tropical atmosphere. With its large open spaces, its giant 28-meter-long swimming pool and its view of the lagoon and the sea.. It has 4 suites divided into 3 independent houses on the property and has the most modern comfort.

Its location is ideal! It is only a few meters from the beach of Grand Cul de Sac where you can practice water sports, find beach restaurants, bars, spa, etc.

The Space:
The African Queen has an incredible atmosphere. With its view on 3 different waters (lagoon, sea and giant pool), its beautiful garden and its big property of 3800 ft2, it provides large open spaces. Its architecture is unique, far from the geometric decks and turquoise square pools, the house totally melts it’s in natural environment. The amazing point is its 90ft long free form rock edged pool that links the living areas to the guest cottage. The largest private pool on the island!

This house has many influences. Decorated by artists, this villa was a real artistic project. It is therefore frequented by artists, singers, actors, writers, celebrities of all kind in search of charm and originality.

Its organic materials, it's warm earthy colors, it's water cascades, all contribute to the feeling of being at one with nature which does not compromise a high level modern comfort: the African Queen is fully equipped; full cable channel, canal + and the Dish for all the US channels. There is wi-fi internet everywhere, a Bose wireless sound system , safes in all rooms, air conditioning to living and sleeping areas, a large, private, and easily accessible car park at the end of the gravel driveway.

Daily Cleaning, housekeeping, gardening included.
Daily cook, breakfasts, children nursing and extra beds on option.

Guest Access:
Guests will have access to the entire property!

The Neighborhood:
Grand Cul de Sac is a tranquil area in the northeast of Saint Barthélémy. It is very popular with families and travelers seeking peace and quiet, thanks to its calm, shallow and clear waters.

The bay is protected by a coral reef, which is well worth seeing up close for its diverse and colorful marine flora and fauna. This makes Grand Cul de Sac an excellent spot for snorkeling, where you can appreciate the ecosystem of a still-intact coral reef.

In addition to its serene environment, Grand Cul de Sac is also an exceptional beach for a wide range of water sports, including paddleboarding, windsurfing and jetskiing. A unique experience in Grand Cul de Sac is to swim alongside sea turtles, just a few minutes' walk from the Villa African Queen.

You'll also find a number of upscale hotels, including the Guanahani, the Sereno and Le Barthélémy & spa, ideal for booking a spa, massage or waterfront lunch/dinner.

In short, Grand Cul de Sac is a multi-purpose area that offers a mix of relaxation and adventure, making it a must-see in Saint Barthélémy.

Other Things to Note:
Remember you are in an Caribbean island, where nature is abundant. Friendly insects might appear for you during your stay - if you need help with something, we will be glad to assist you.

Villa African Queen is filled with charm, serenity and soul. The garden is especially spacious and beautiful and the pool is heavenly. Isabelle and Stephane couldn't have been more delightful and attentive. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and are looking forward to the next!

A truly outstanding, original, luxurious Caribbean retreat. I will stay nowhere else on the island!
A truly outstanding, original, luxurious Caribbean retreat. I will stay nowhere else on the island!
I love St Barth, I really do. I love stepping off the plane and getting hit in the face with that warm tropical breeze, the smell of the sea a breath away. You immediately feel in a tropical paradise, a bubble far from reality. The only problem I ever had with the island is the fact that all the villas are identical, made in the same mould, and in my opinion, too surgical for such a wild and organic paradise island. ENTER VILLA AFRICAN QUEEN. A friend recommended me this villa, and I must say that from the minute I drove my car through the gate, I was taken aback by the lush charm of this one-of-a-kind retreat. How can any other operating room glass case villa compare with this secret haven located a stone throw from 5 (FIVE!) of the best hotels on the island, AND a private lagoon?! Yes, I said lagoon... This is apparently one of the biggest private pools around, and I have no problems believing it! Clearly, I am a fan! Everything was taken care of for my arrival thanks to the super professional management team, the best water sport centre is a 2 mn walk on a stunning beach (kite surf, paddle board, windsurfing, kayak, and scuba) and I can only strongly recommend this place, even though I am afraid once the secret is out, it may get harder for me to rent!

We were hoping to keep it for ourselves
We were hoping to keep it for ourselves
But sharing is caring so here I go. Villa African Queen is the only place we will stay in St Barths. Location, layout, generous proportions, biggest private pool on the island and I could go on for a while. Someone said because VAQ is not one of the glass, mirror and stainless steel hill villas it is not rented as often. What a waste and such bad judgement. I agree with the other 5 star reviews and after 2 vacations at VAQ I would and will go back next trip. I cannot recommend it highly enough I only hope there will always be a couple of weeks available per year. It would be traumatic for us to have to stay elsewhere.

Paradise found!

Staying in the African Queen was like stepping into a brochure that you've always read what a Caribbean vacation is supposed to be!! The Beautiful Villa , gorgeous grounds, and the 88ft.pool that makes you feel that you are swimming in private lagoon is just too much! The Villa is located in the best location in St.Barts next to major five star hotels and restaurants and a minutes drive from the Airport, town of Gustavia, and the fabulous beaches of St. Jean, Orient, Shell Beach and Flammand. I will definitely make plans to return plus the African Queen comes with a gracious host , That makes all your problems disappear while discretely living nearby but always making sure everything is in working order!!!! Yes Paradise found......

This Villa met all of our expectations and more! We had 3 couples heading to the Caribbean that had never been before. We decided on St. Barth's based on this magnificent villa. Nick, the manager was so accommodating! The Villa was as if you were in an exclusive resort with only 3 suites. We each loved the Villa, especially the outdoor living space, beautiful gardens, and overall warmth of the surroundings. Walking distance to Grand Cul de Sac with it's fabulous intimate restaurants was icing on the cake. We enjoyed making meals at the Villa as the kitchen was well equipped with a large refrigerator and an outdoor BBQ. We would recommend this Villa to couples as well as families. It has something for everyone.

Beyond our expectations!
Beyond our expectations!
I decided to write this review as this villa was beyond our expectations and we had a magical 10 days of exotic Luxury. We really felt like Gods on earth and could not get over the size of the pool and the atmosphere of the place especially at night. Also, we would like to thank Nick, the discreet and helpful manager for making everything possible and showing us round. We highly recommend and will of course be back with friends. Thanks!
