About Villa Giselle

Villa Giselle is a modern five-bedroom villa in Terres Basses, an eight-minute walk from Plum Bay, with a heated infinity pool and ocean views from four of the bedrooms. Rentable from three to five bedrooms.

Villa Giselle is a modern five-bedroom house in the gated Terres Basses community, an eight-minute walk from Plum Bay, one of the quieter beaches on the island. It sleeps up to eleven and rents from three to five bedrooms, which makes it a straightforward pick for a family or a group of friends.

Four of the five bedrooms sit on the main level, each en-suite and facing the ocean, so most of the house wakes up to the sea. The fifth is on the lower level with a sea view and its own kitchenette, a quieter corner for whoever wants more independence.

The living space is open and runs straight out to the terrace, where a heated infinity pool takes the center. It is warmed from mid-October to mid-April, a real plus for a winter trip, and set to look out over the water for a swim or a sunset cocktail.

Being a short walk from Plum Bay is the real draw: close enough to leave the car and wander down, with the long west-facing sunsets this end of the island gets. A hot tub and BBQ round out the outdoor side.

Princess Juliana Airport is about fifteen minutes by car, and Grand Case is roughly twenty-five minutes north. For dinner out, we send guests to Chez Coco, a lolo on the Marigot waterfront about ten minutes away. Let us know ahead and the fridge will be full and a cook on call for the week. At $8,000 a week in low season for all five bedrooms, Giselle earns its keep two ways: the beach eight minutes away on foot, and a pool that stays warm right through the winter.

Where Villa Giselle is

Terres Basses, the "Lowlands", is the French side's most prestigious address: a private, low-density peninsula of grand villas between Simpson Bay Lagoon and the sea, with three of the island's most beautiful beaches and very little commercial development. More about Terres Basses

Good to know

  • Check-in from 4:00 PM, check-out by 10:00 AM. Earlier arrivals can sometimes be arranged.
  • Rates are per week in US dollars, plus 10% tax and service. A deposit holds the dates; the balance is due before arrival.
  • House rules, the security deposit and cancellation terms are set out in the rental agreement for this villa. Parties and events always need the owner's approval in advance.
  • The French side uses euros and European 220V sockets, so bring an adapter for US plugs. US dollars and cards are widely accepted.
  • Terres Basses is residential and gated: for groceries and most restaurants you drive out to Marigot, Simpson Bay or Grand Case, or have a chef come to the villa.
  • A rental car is the easiest way to get around; driving is on the right on both sides of the island.
