La Pinta
About the Home
Down the long driveway lined with coral stone walls and flamboyant trees, you arrive in the courtyard of this elegant Creole-style villa. It is a quiet, private oasis that sets the stage for relaxing outdoor living and a lush tropical view that begins the moment you enter the villa. The large turquoise pool, accented with a visually pleasing sculpture, draws your eye straight to the stately palms and beyond to the cerulean sea. There is a beautiful flow to the house — an almost seamless connection from inside to outside. Although very open, it remains private. Large covered galleries create multiple options for: • Dining • Lounging • Sunning It also provides a cool space for firing up the barbeque. Sleek yet comfortable new loungers surround the pool. The décor is serene and tasteful, both inside and outside. The open-plan interior living area contains comfortable oversized seating and an indoor dining area. Adjacent to the main living space is the well-equipped, modern kitchen in sleek white, steel, and black finishes. All the interior living spaces open to the terrace and the view. The décor is eclectic, contemporary, and relaxed in shades of white, beige, and taupe, accented with driftwood and dark woods. Beautiful paintings, sculptures, and exotic African art add a distinctive designer touch to the space. Four bedrooms are set off the pool terrace. The décor reflects a luxe boutique hotel — elegant and serene — with each room styled in a rich, connective neutral color palette: taupe, cream, charcoal, driftwood, and metallic tones. The en suite bathrooms are works of art, featuring: • Travertine tiles • Dark stone and marble countertops • Sculpted sinks • Beautiful modern fixtures Several bathrooms overlook the gardens; one overlooks the sea. For larger gatherings, the sister villa, La Nina, shares the same lot and provides an additional two bedrooms. Both villas share a tennis court and gym. Although secluded, you are close to amenities. It’s a short drive to beaches such as Plum Bay and Long Bay. You are ten minutes from the airport. Baie Nettle’s new restaurants are just 5 minutes away, and another 5 minutes brings you to the charming French capital of Marigot with its shops, galleries, historic buildings, and Creole Market. Drive 25 minutes to reach Grand Case and Philipsburg’s shopping haven. This property is available to rent as a 3- or 4-bedroom villa.
