Yes! Cool how the rock was also lit up.

Probably right. I think somebody told me otherwise several years ago when it was under construction.

I don't think so, I think he owns "Camp David" in St Jean...
Could it be Villa Alpaka?
(https://www.wimco.com/villa-rentals...4&gbraid=0AAAAADAxyLXgef2ab-ViuBKvQ9TXeOs1P)?
Rather amusingly, another site offering the Villa describes that it has “Dedicated concierge prior to stay” and “Basic amenities provided for the first few days.”

This was an extremely well written article and the assessment for 2023 was right on. Other than the restaurants having changed, I do think the situation was comprehensively assessed but even with all that, (I only have about a 25 year "investment" as a relative 'newbie'
), the essence of Saint-Barth is still there: the view of the harbor coming in, skimming over La Tourmente, the red roofs, the view of St-Jean bay..if you feel anything less than the love you had when you first came, I think you can still find what you are looking for or loved in the past. Sometimes your "needs" are fewer, as well, at this point. I think we are very "possessive" of this island in a way that can not be erased by expensive restaurants and social media, as onerous as it is, because the people that actually live there have a commitment to keep what has always been special about Saint-Barth. And they are generous, not pretentious, people who have decided to dedicate themselves to what is able to be preserved while accepting what is the future with a healthy perspective. It is this Forum that is dedicated to them and we all are the beneficiaries of these residents, who keep the dream and the vision alive. As my dear friend, Ronda and I, always say, "People come and people go..we'll be here to turn out the lights!"
Have you seen the villa being built partially into the ground at the end of the road where the steps to Petit Anse are? Garage is literally built into the rocks, that is another wild one. They have like 5 separate villas on the little peninsula overlooking Flamands which used to be nothing but a few local homes.
