Do I need a car?
Yes. Roads are hilly and taxis can be scarce, especially late. Book a compact SUV. Parking in Gustavia is limited and time-controlled.
Is a 4×4 essential?
Not essential, but a small SUV makes hills and villa driveways easier.

Festive (mid-Dec to early Jan): weeks to months ahead. Jan–April: a few days to a week. Shoulder season: day-of often works.

Is St Barts good for kids?

A small hospital and excellent pharmacies. Consider travel/medevac insurance for peace of mind.
Can I fly a drone?
Heavily regulated—permits required and privacy is taken seriously. Ask before flying.
How’s the ocean—calm or surfy?
