June 26, 2008Wimco Offers 7th Night Free in St Barts VillasNewport, RI, June 2008 - Wimco and Sibarth have banded together with St. Barts villa owners to create a "Stay 7 Nights/Pay for 6 Nights" offering for nearly 70 villas on the island of St. Barthelemy. The villa rental pioneers are optimistic that by offering a free 7th night, travelers will be more inclined to come experience the beauty of St. Barts during the more affordable low season. The "Stay 7 Nights/Pay for 6 Nights" special applies for travel during the entire month of July 2008 and October 1-November 15, 2008. Participating villas include the new stunner, SIB DOL in Pointe Milou, fabulous SIB JAY in Mont Jean and crowd favorites SIB SAS in St Jean, SIB OUI in Petit Cul de Sac and SIB TOR in Lorient. For more information, please contact one of Wimco's St Barts destination specialists at 1-800-932-3222 or visit www.wimco.com. May 26, 2008Villa TriagozVilla Triagoz bills itself as "a private new villa proposed for vacation rental in St. Barts, the delicious French Caribbean Island (FWI). With a private swimming pool, two very nice bedrooms (+a baby room) and a splendid view to the sea, the villa is fully modern equipped with latest high tech (3 plasma TV, DishNetworks, WiFi, 3 DVD). The villa is situated at 200 yards from the Flamands beach in the leeward side of St.Barts, closed to the Hotel St. Barth Isle de France. We will be very happy to welcome you in our fantastic villa." Lot's of photos on their site, it looks like a great place to stay.
October 29, 2007Affordable St. Barts?"Affordable" and "St. Barts" are not two words that you say in one sentence too often - but the NY Times has some ideas: St. Barts on the cheap? Easy. Just attach yourself to Jay-Z's entourage, score an invitation aboard a megayacht, and sip Champagne all night in the V.V.I.P. section at Nikki Beach. If that fails, a seven-room villa at the celebrity-filled Carl Gustaf Hotel goes for 48,000 euros a night during the peak season. Luckily, for those who would rather splurge on a lobster dinner, this chic Caribbean Riviera still has a smattering of affordable options - relatively speaking, of course.
The article is full of good tips, and lots of links to check out. October 8, 2007St Barth Properties Featured Property of the Month
October 2, 2007St Barth Properties: September's Featured Property
September 19, 2007$72,278 PER WEEK!From the NY POST: "What could possibly carry that kind of soul-sucking price tag? Ahhhh, the two new luxury villas - a k a Eden Rock Estates - coming soon to St. Barts' Eden Rock Hotel. Now it's all starting to make sense. Villa Nina, the first of the two, opens in early November. So, just pretend to be Leona's dog for a minute and take booking it seriously: that price (which bumps up to $91,568 in high season, and $110,838 over the holidays) includes an in-room art gallery, Jacuzzi, a dedicated butler, access to a Mini Cooper, and a pool overlooking the beautiful sands of St. Jean beach. Arf, arf!"
June 26, 2007Demand for Rental Villas on St. Barts Grows - Wimco Increases Its Inventory of Exclusive HomesNEWPORT, RI, June 2007 - To meet a growing demand for villas on St. Barts, Wimco, the leading marketer of exclusive and sophisticated villa rentals in sun-splashed places, has added five villas to its available-only-through Wimco inventory. "These new additions to our exclusive portfolio allow us to meet the growing demand for villa vacations on St Barts. The sophistication and amenities in these villas makes them very attractive to today's discerning traveler," says Stiles Bennet, Wimco's Director of Marketing. For the upcoming season, Wimco represents 265 St. Barts villas, most of them on an exclusive basis Wimco's villas range from 1 bedroom retreats starting at $3,000/week in peak season to six bedroom compounds costing up to $40,000 a week in peak season. Demand for St. Barts villa rentals is up 30% percent over this time last year. Wimco attributes this to the fact that this eight-square-mile island is increasingly popular because of its quaint French culture, family-friendly environment, uncrowded beaches, fine cuisine and world class shopping. "This increased demand is especially true for the sought-after Holiday and Spring Break seasons," says Bennet, who notes that there are still choice villas available for those two windows. "But they're going fast." May 24, 2007Property Developer Launches Ritzy Waterfront FundMore high-end development on St. Barts: "The fund will seek to achieve absolute returns by creating a stream of development projects to be sold on completion. "Some of the investments will be in the development of rural land while others will be renovations or rebuilding existing properties," said Tim de Rosen, the fund's director. Targeted locations include St. Barts, Harbour Island in the Bahamas, St. Tropez, Cap d'Antibes, Cap Ferrat and similar resorts."
You can read the whole thing here. Sounds a bit speculative in nature - "projects to be sold on completion" - to me for the Caribbean market.

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. January 19, 2007Villas at Le Sereno
