Buying a Second Home on St. Barts

07stbarts_span.jpg

New article in the NY Times:

"The road that winds around St. Barthélemy offers some of the most spectacular vistas in the Caribbean as it curves up and down steep hills, snakes along windswept beaches and crosses coconut groves and salt marshes.

Too often, though, as the road bobs and weaves through the tiny island, the landscape is pocked with construction sites - building machinery, like colossal historic beasts, devouring the vegetation.

And on the decks of multimillion-euro villas, which rent for $5,000 to $50,000 a week during high season, jetsetters down their Negronis and cover their ears to muffle the sound of jackhammers."

There is more and it is actually quite good - there are several quotes from people on St. Barts and their take on the development of the island.
