My Villa In St Barth Real Estate

What My Villa In St Barth Real Estate does

My Villa In St Barth Real Estate is a privately held, single-shareholder SASU (SASU MY VILLA IN ST BARTH REAL ESTATE, RCS Basse-Terre No. 813 347 606) founded in 2015 by Monique Turbe and headquartered in Colombier, Saint-Barthélemy. The company operates two core lines: (1) luxury villa rental brokerage, claiming a portfolio of more than 460 inspected and curated villas across all 18 neighborhoods of St-Barths, organized into three branded collections (Authentic Island, Simply Chic, Prestige & Highlife), and (2) real estate transaction brokerage for villa, apartment, land, and commercial sales, capped at 10% transaction fees. It also offers a premium concierge layer (private chefs, yacht provisioning, wellness, VIP transfers) intended to capture ancillary spend on top of each rental stay. The firm is subject to French Hoguet Law and the Decree of 20 July 1972, with the professional carte professionnelle (CPI No. 9771 2015 000001 437) held by the founder.

The business model is commission-based on transactions rather than subscription- or SaaS-based. Rental commissions are capped at 25% of weekly rental rate (with an additional 10% administrative fee when bookings route through third-party travel agents or OTAs, although the company itself eschews OTA distribution). Real estate transactions carry a maximum 10% fee. Villa weekly rates span approximately $4,000 to $225,000 depending on size, location, and season, with peak Christmas/New Year pricing at the top of the range. Customer acquisition is entirely direct-to-consumer via the proprietary website (myvillainstbarth.com), Instagram (@myvillainstbarth), email newsletter, WhatsApp, and Facebook Messenger. The firm operates with 1-10 employees and has taken no outside funding, making it a bootstrapped, founder-led boutique agency rather than a venture-backed platform.

The underlying technology stack is minimal: a content-managed website with villa search by location, date, and bedroom count, plus a curated content layer ("Travel Diary") covering island events and destination guides. No native mobile application, no public API, no SDK, and no integrations with third-party platforms are evidenced. The booking flow is human-mediated rather than fully automated, with reservations completed via direct contact with the concierge team rather than self-service checkout. This positions the company as a high-touch service business with light proprietary technology rather than a technology-enabled marketplace.
