Villa Golden Palm, St. Moritz Barthelemy

Close to the sea, this pet-friendly villa brings it all within reach. Thanks to the convenient onsite parking, you can either leave your vehicle behind and let your feet make short work of the 8-minute walk to St. Jean Beach, or easily tackle the quick 7-minute drive to Gustavia Harbor.

Spend a day at the nearby beach, relax by the heated pool, or sip a drink in the garden of this 3767-sq-ft villa, which also features outdoor furniture. For a change of scenery, come inside and enjoy the WiFi and TV.

As you settle into this 5-bedroom, 5-bathroom rental, you'll find a BBQ grill, a safe, and air conditioning. Bathroom amenities include a hair dryer, towels, and soap. Prepare a home-cooked meal in the kitchen, complete with an oven, a stovetop, and a refrigerator, as well as a coffee maker, an electric kettle, and a microwave. And you won't have to pack extra clothes, because you'll have a washer and dryer, too.
