Wonderful week!
Submitted: February 10, 2013
Stayed: February 2013
We stayed at the villa in February, 2013, and had a wonderful week. There were three couples, and we stayed in the three upstairs bedrooms. There is a fourth bedroom on a lower level that we did not use. All bedrooms had nice bathrooms, mosquito netting on the beds (although bugs were not a problem), and beds were comfortable. There is a maid that comes daily and can do laundry if needed. The photos in the listing accurately reflect the overall appearance of the villa. The outdoor spaces are beautiful, the pool/fountain are perfect, the kitchen is adequately appointed and there is an outdoor grill. It is a very comfortable villa, not ultramodern, but cozy in an island setting, and private. We had no safety concerns.
The best part of the villa is it's location. It has a beautiful view overlooking St Jean bay, Eden Rock resort, and the airport. (You cannot hear the planes but can watch them land and takeoff). You can walk down the hill to St Jean restaurants, shopping etc. Parking can be difficult, so this is especially helpful. After driving to other parts of the island, I was very hapy to be in St Jean.
The owners met us at the ferry dock, helped arrange our rental car, and transport luggage. They live on the island and are easily accesible. There was a nice introduction to the villa on arrival, and a binder describing contact numbers, wi-fi connections, etc. They also helped us with our departure. The villa is fairly priced, and wiring money in advance was not a problem.
I have traveled to a number of Carribean islands and stayed in villas. This experience was outstanding, and I would have no trouble returning or recommending to friends. St Barth is a fabulous island getaway.

The View from Villa Sunrise was spectacular. Views of the airport, The Eden Rock and St. Jean Beach. Philip and Peggy were right there anytime we had questions or needed assistance. Amelia was extremely pleasant, quietly and efficiently cleaned around us. Overall a very pleasant stay.

Disappointing
Submitted: June 26, 2012
Stayed: June 2012
At first sight the villa was wonderful but as time went on it became apparent there were problems. The hot water tank wasn't turned on for 3 days in one of the ensuite bathrooms after many promises. The airconditioner in another bedroom went out about 2 am. We didn't open the windows because of the mosquitos. (No screens). The next day a new airconditioner was finally installed and finished about supper time. The septic backed up into 2 bedrooms. The plumbers had to bail out the septic tank. The smell was unbelieveable. The dishwasher didn't have hot water so the soap never dissolved. Beach towels went missing and the owner ask me if I had them. Turned out the maid had them in her trunk. The owner, Peggy, was always very helpful and apologetic. Nevertheless I started to wonder "what next"?? But it was our 50th anniversary and we took our 3 sons and their spouses. As I see it the house is old and paint covers a lot of sins but the inside is falling apart.
Owner's Response: Dear Pamela and family,
I have been working for over 10 years in the villas, and this is a first. Even Mariah Carey that stayed in the villa was less difficult to please and more grateful.
I have the duty to respond to your review.
The AC did break in the "white bedroom" and was changed immediately the next day. This bedroom is equipped with Mosquitoes nets on all windows and a fan is placed in each bedroom, all previous guests could testify on the matter. I wish I could attach photos to prove the existence of mosquitoes nets. Perhaps you did not try to open the windows at 2 AM. Two professionals came the next day to change the AC, it did take them time which is normal (I wish I was a witch with a magical spell and the AC changed in 5 minutes) however I do not have such powers. AC installations anywhere in the world take hours instal (even with 2 technicians).
The toilet was blocked with hygenic towels by one of the guest, and excess papers which explains why the conventional product to unblock the toilet did not work (sorry to be precise on that point), it is the first time I have guests who throw such items in toilet and obviously if the toilet had not been blocked in the first place, we wouldn't have had such problems. The plumber intervened rapidly and cleared the matter. I even came at night after the intervention to clean up, hence missing a part of my seven year old end of year school show.
Dishwasher is new, has hot water (like all dish washers) however needs to be programmed properly in order for it to function.
Thank you for your comment in saying that I was "helpful", I recalled you did crash a parked car, and I went out of my way to help. In all respect, please understand that St. Barths is a small island (it is not Texas), the team went out of their way to please you and obviously that was not enough. You also received a 15% discount on our trip for your 50th Birthday, perhaps you also expected a complete refund for your trip because your blocked the toilet?
We wish you all the best in your future holidays in St. Barths and hope you will at some point comprehend that every little issue you experienced was attended- and in record time since this is a small island. I wish you all the best.

Extraordinary Vacation with Friends
Submitted: December 30, 2010
Stayed: November 2010
When you celebrate a special occasion such as a 50th birthday with friends you want everything to be perfect. When we booked Villa Sunrise we had no idea just how much better than perfect it could be. We had never been to the Caribbean or St. Barths and did not know what to expect. Peggy was wonderful from the moment we contacted her and throughout our stay. She assisted us in the arrangement of the car rental, airports and connecting flights, restaurants, shops and a scuba trip. Her brother Philippe was also extremely helpful in picking us up at the airport and showing us around the Villa.
The online pictures of Villa Sunrise are lovely but seeing it for the first time was breathtaking. The outdoor living space was our favorite and we spent our time there enjoying the sunsets. We enjoyed the pool in the afternoon and cooked a couple of meals on the barbeque. We loved the island and those who live there. All of the shop keepers were very friendly and we found amazing restaurants. And the beaches were stunning. We will be back and will encourage our other friends to join us so that we can book both Villa Sunrise and Villa Mystique. We could not have had a better time and Peggy was responsible for making it happen.
What an extraordinary vacation.

You will never want to leave Villa Sunrise. The views are amazing , the pool refreshing and its location on the island is the best. We had four couples down here for a 40th birthday and we could not have picked a better villa. The outside living area and the pool are SOOO RELAXING , VERY PRIVATE and SPACIOUS. Peggy was right there for all our needs, ie dinner reservations, taxi help or simply good advice about the island. We were a short drive to Flammands and Gustavia and a good walk up the hill from Nikki Beach and St Jeans beach. We hope to come back to St Barths each year, and when we do come back, we will back at VILLA SUNRISE each time.
I would recommend this villa for couples, families with older children ( no shallow end in the pool) and Rock stars....

A touch of Heaven

This place is amazing. We absolutely loved the villa; everything was really perfect, super clean and special. It is the best spot on the island with breathtaking views and easy access to the beach of St Jean, one of the best on earth for kids, clean and gentle warm water, with easy snorkeling for kids.
Upon arrival, we were greeted at the airport by Peggy, the manager and the sweetest person on the island (no kidding!!). We were a bit skeptical about the small airplane but actually it was a very pleasant and safe trip (better than CO to Newark!!) + fun for kids.
We rented a 4WD (highly recommended since the entire island is full of hills) and drove to the villa which was literally two minutes away. The house is very spacious, clean and equipped with the latest technology (ipod dock, flat screen, wifi...). The pool was perfect size, warm and lots of towels were provided (+umbrellas and beach chairs). All bed rooms had air-conditioning and mosquito net. Decor was beautiful, casual elegance. Furniture was good-quality and in generally good shape. A crib was also provided for my daughter.
Last but not least it was nice to know we could rely on Peggy if we had any questions or needed anything, anytime. She did stop by a few times during the week to make sure everything was fine.
Bottom line it was an unbelievable vacation and we felt we were 1 week in paradise and YES, I would recommend this property to a friend or relative.

Wonderful Villa!

My husband and I have been visiting St Barts for the past 18 years and have seen many properties, Villa Sunrise is a find! The villa is very spacious, comfortable and well designed. We were superbly taken care of by Peggy and Philippe, they are very attentive and kind. Villa Sunrise has gorgeous views, privacy, a great pool, and a fully equipped kitchen. When we came back in the afternoon after a day of beautiful beaches and great food we felt great relaxing at the pool. Don't miss Santa Fe Restaurant on your way to Governors beach. Villa Sunrise is a jewel set in the tropical setting of St Barts. Villa Sunrise is a treasure which we plan on enjoying again soon!!!

Beyond Our Expectations
Submitted: May 28, 2010
Stayed: May 2010
Our son and now daughter-in-law were married in St. Barhts. Although we have traveled extensively, we had not spent much time in the Caribbean. We were thrilled with St. Barths and Villa Sunrise. The villa is just as pictured, with spectacular views, very comfortable indoor/outdoor space. The proximity is St. Jean is a plus, with that being central, everything on the island was easily accessible. The villa is clean, with daily maid service, very functional. There were five of us, but the villa could have easily handled four couples.
We hosted a rehearsal dinner for 26 at the villa. Peggy and Philippe went out of their way to assist us. Prior to arriving, Peggy had researched restaurants and chefs, menus and wines for us. We decided to host the dinner at the villa and were delighted. The meal was fabulous and everything was absolutely perfect.
We would highly recommend Villa Sunrise and hope to return.

Sunrise Villa
Submitted: April 28, 2010
Stayed: April 2010
We had an excellent stay at Sunrise Villa. The location could not be any better (unless of course it was right on the beach) but it is right up the hill in St. Jean, a very short distance from the best beach (St. Jean) and hotel (Eden Rock) on the island and a short drive to the main town in Gustavia The outdoor area of the house is especially nice and has lots of seating that can accommodate many people. The view is fantastic, and our little daughter loved watching the planes land and take off at the airport nearby. The bedrooms were cozy, with mosquito netting on all beds which unfortunately is a must in St. Barths. The house was well cleaned every day by a lovely housekeeper. The best part was the management...Peggy and Phillipe, who were incredibly accommodating and helpful. They made sure we were very well taken care of, gave us advice on dining, diving, beaches, etc. They are great people. One thing to note is there is not a shallow area in the pool if you have young kids or disabled guests who might need that sort of thing. However, our kiddo was happy playing on the pool stairs and going to the beach.
As for recommendations nearby: we liked food from Maya's To Go, enjoyed lunch and swimming at the Eden Rock hotel which had a very calm beach great for our young daughter. Nikki Beach was fun for lunch, drinks, music etc. esp. on Sunday. La Plage was also great for renting beach chairs by the ocean and having lunch or drinks. L'Isola was wonderful upscale Italian in Gustavia. Shell beach was also fun, lots of kids there. Enjoy!!!
