CRYSTAL DREAM by WIMCO St. Barth Properties

This villa typically has a 7-night minimum during the high season and a 14-night minimum during the festive season.

Barefoot, cottage-y casual Villa Crystal Dream sits right on sexy St. Jean Beach. It’s a beach-lovers fantasy come true.

A comfortable living room, adjacent to a compact kitchen, opens to a spacious deck with a covered area for dining and relaxing. The kitchen has a pass-through that does double-duty as a pool bar. Fun. Guests can float toes up in the delightful pool or have their toes in that warm blue water in seconds. No flip-flops needed.

A typical day includes an early morning run on the beach, followed by a swim, coffee, and French pastries, and then settling in on a poolside chaise to read, gaze, or people-watch, libation in hand. Care to eat in? A latticed area on the deck has a BBQ, Plancha, and a sink takes care of that.

There are three (king) bedrooms and two full baths. The St. Jean location means proximity to Lil' Rock Beach restaurant and bar next door, Pearl Beach restaurant a few steps down, as well as the village’s restaurants and boutiques. Crystal Dream is the ideal villa for those who want to be on the beach and in the middle of “the action”.
