Budget-conscious beach lovers need look no further than these small garden cottages, a short stroll from what is arguably St. Barth's best beach. Each of the five studios is named for favorite places of the owners: Pavones, Padang, Waikiki, Cap Ferrat, and Essaouira. There's a small but pleasant pool set in the garden, and each studio unit has a private terrace. Three have full kitchenettes. You can choose to join the impromptu house party of the owners and residents, or just stay to yourself. Pros: only property walkable to Salines Beach; quiet, reasonable rates. Cons: far from town; not very private; no phones in rooms.
