Inside the Villa
The layout gives everyone privacy: the master suite — with a king bed, walk-in dressing room and its own ensuite — sits on one side of the house, while the second king bedroom and the queen bedroom share a full bathroom on the other. Between them is a high-ceilinged living room anchored by an 85-inch Sony TV, plus a fully equipped kitchen with a central island and gas/electric cooktop. A dedicated office with high-speed Wi-Fi and a wired connection makes Villa Jelo a rare St. Barts villa where you can genuinely work remotely.
Pool, Spa & Outdoor Living
Life here happens outdoors. A large covered terrace faces the 8 × 3.5-metre saltwater pool and sun deck with loungers, framed by tropical greenery and views over the hills of Morne de Vitet. A secluded five-seat spa is perfect after a beach day, and the property adds an outdoor shower, a Weber gas barbecue, outdoor dining, a mini gym and an on-site massage table. Beach equipment is provided, so you can head to the sand without renting gear.
Games Room & Home Cinema
A separate games room — table football, table tennis, an arcade machine, PlayStation, board games and Lego — makes this one of the most family-friendly villas on the island. A cinema corner with projector, Blu-ray and surround sound turns rainy evenings or late nights into movie nights.
Concierge Welcome, Housekeeping & Private Chef
Owners Alexandra and Régis (Vrbo Premier Hosts) work with a local manager, Patrice, who meets guests at the airport or ferry terminal, escorts them to the villa and stays reachable throughout the stay. An arrival fridge is stocked with drinks, coffee and breakfast and aperitif basics. One housekeeping visit is included on stays of 4+ nights (more on stays of 10+ nights), and Patrice — a chef with over 30 years’ experience on St. Barts — can prepare private breakfasts, dinners or celebration menus on request.
Location: Why Vitet Works
Vitet is a quiet, residential hillside on the eastern side of St. Barts — birdsong and greenery rather than traffic and crowds — yet nothing is far. The closest sand is Lorient Beach, a calm, local-favorite bay just a 2-minute drive down the hill. Approximate travel times from the villa:
- Lorient Beach — 2 min drive (1.5 km)
- Grand Cul-de-Sac lagoon — 4 min drive (2.8 km)
- Marigot Beach — 17 min walk (1.5 km)
- St. Jean Beach — 8 min drive (4.6 km)
- Gustavia Harbor, Le Select, La Petite Plage — about 14–15 min drive (8.1 km)
- Gustaf III Airport (SBH) — about 11–12 min drive
A rental car is essential here, and the villa’s private parking fits up to three vehicles.
What Guests Say
Villa Jelo holds a perfect 10/10 across its verified Vrbo reviews, with top marks for cleanliness, check-in, location and listing accuracy. Guests repeatedly describe the house as modern, spotless and very private, single out the pool and hot tub as the highlight of evenings at home, and praise Patrice’s warm welcome and insider tips on the island. Families especially value the games room, while couples and groups of friends mention the starlit deck and the short drive to beaches and town.
Who Villa Jelo Is Best For
Choose Villa Jelo if you want a private, quiet base for a family of up to six, two couples, or friends who’d rather spend evenings by their own pool than in Gustavia’s nightlife — and if a games room, gym or proper workspace matters. If you’d prefer to stay right by the water on this side of the island, compare it with Villa Le Manoir de Lorient, a hidden escape near Lorient Beach.
