On the island of St. Barth, the paille-en-queue is a long-tailed, white seabird. Its shape is elegant, and it is often surrounded by sky, which makes its name a fitting one for the newly built villa that is called Au Paille en Queue. The lines of the luxury rental property are graceful, the windows - many the length of entire walls - have vistas of blue sky and sea, and the feeling and energy inside practically soar.
Au Paille en Queue is a modern, simply designed villa with two bedrooms in a convenient location in St. Jean. The beach of the same name is just a 10-15-minute walk, and the stadium, tennis courts, and other sports facilities are nearby. The St. Jean pond is also close.
The center of social life in the villa is a partially shaded terrace. Beneath an overhang made of loosely woven natural material, there is ample seating, and areas for lounging and dining. There are also fully exposed sunbeds, and a gazebo with a sectional sofa in full shade. This sofa is large enough to be a daybed, if you desire.
There is also an indoor living area, with blush couches in front of picture windows, a dining table, and the kitchen, which is separated from the main space by a small island. One of the two bedrooms is accessed from this living room, or from the terrace.
The second bedroom is much like the first, but with a different color palette, and well separated, making Au Paille en Queue suitable for groups of adult friends as well as families. This bedroom is located in a separate bungalow and can be reached only from the terrace. In each, there is a European king bed, ensuite dressing area, air-conditioning, and private bathroom with a shower.
