Recognized by Conde Nast Traveller UK as one of the top 5 villa rental agencies worldwide, and by Caribbean Journal as the best rental agency in the Caribbean, St. Barth Properties (SBP) is a well-established leader on the ultra-chic island of St. Barthelemy. Representing 260 extraordinary villas, SBP has been operating since 1986 and is a pillar of the Saint Barth community.

Nocturne Luxury Villas acquired St. Barth Properties in 2021. One of SBP’s two principals, its founder, Peg Walsh, wished to transition to a consulting role, while the other, Tom Smyth, sought a partner to help grow and scale the business. Nocturne provided a solution that enabled each to achieve their goals, and today Tom remains active in Nocturne management as well as a shareholder.

“Teaming up with Nocturne brought the resources, talent and vision to raise St. Barth Properties to a much higher level of operating efficiency and profitability.”  – Tom Smyth
