There is no bad part of the island. as it is only 8 sq miles, the location is not that important. most villas are hillside with beautiful views. I own St Barth Properties and offer 150 private villas for rent. Have done so since 1989 and would be pleased to answer any questions you may have. Availability is almost gone for New Years but we had a couple cancellations. visit www.stbarth.com to see some ideas.
