In the past ten years, St. Kitts has gained the distinction of being an independent nation in the Caribbean.  Formally a British colony, St. Kitts vacation rentals still reflect the flavor of English hospitality and charm with a flair of the tropics.  Beach homes line the shores of St. Kitts with a picturesque view of the “Mother Colony.”  Called the “Mother Colony” because St. Kitts was the first island in the Caribbean chain discovered by English settlers, holiday villas offer visitors a unique combination of beach activities, historical sites, and beautiful sights.
 
Beach front rentals are treated to sugar white, powder fine beaches with crystal waters dancing with the reflection of sunlight as it rolls to the shore.  For the lazier days of sunbathing or playing in the surf, beach rentals stand close to supply food or supplies during the day.  Vacation rentals in St. Kitts surround the island in cozy, perfectly placed hideaways to plan each day of events.  From the water sports of fishing, boating, and snorkeling to exploring the natural terrain of mountainous, lush part of the islands by hiking, St. Kitts vacation homes are ready to accommodate every member of the family during your beach vacation.  

With shopping and restaurants ready to meet your every need while away from your St. Kitts vacation rental, the only thing you will need when leaving your vacation rental home in St. Kitts is a larger suitcase to take home all of your new treasurers.
