Testimonials

"It was amazing, Heather. Truly amazing weekend all around and our guests are saying it was their favorite weekend of their lives. Villa was beautiful, we partied hard, had a sailboat to Colombier. Thank you again for all of your help and support in getting us the most fabulous villa." - Zach G., Westport, CT

“My family and I have worked with Heather for years, planning our multi-family vacations to St. Barths. To say she was the reason we chose St. Barth’s as our destination originally would not be an exaggeration. Her expertise, advice, knowledge, and love for the island were encouraging and so incredibly helpful. Heather advised on every aspect of our vacation, from detailed conversations on finding the perfect villa for our needs, to a full rundown of beaches, restaurants, car rentals, chef services, etc. I felt like she was as invested in our vacation being a success as we were, and her many connections on the island were crucial. I cannot recommend working with Heather enough, and we look forward to continuing our relationship for years to come!” - Allie P., Minneapolis, MN 

“Villa Marie is a truly hidden gem that we booked with confidence because we trusted Heather and knew that if she approved that we would love it.” - Jordan B., Brooklyn, NY

“Our family has worked with Heather for years because she’s a lovely person and has immense knowledge about the island. Her expertise and attention to detail made our vacations seamless and unforgettable. Heather always crafts a very personalized itinerary that caters to family activities, adult adventures and even things for my elderly mother. She is always available for questions, provides insider tips, and even handled unexpected changes with ease. I can't recommend Heather enough for anyone seeking a truly tailored and phenomenal travel experience!” - Halle H., Los Angeles, CA

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you work with travel agents? 

Absolutely. I work with many. Travel agents commissions are always protected when working with me. 

Are you a travel agent? 

No, I specialize in consulting on St. Barths across various areas. While travel agents typically manage all aspects of a client’s travel throughout the year, I focus solely on St. Barths. I serve as a trusted resource for travel agents who appreciate working with someone deeply familiar with the island and who has personally visited the properties they’re considering for their clients. If you’re a travel agent with further questions, please feel free to reach out.

Are you an event planner?

No, but I often collaborate with event planners who are experts in their field but may be new to St. Barths. I offer experienced insights, either as a first point of contact for brides or grooms or as a consultant to event planners (whether on a one-time or ongoing basis) who may need introductions and local advice. In addition, I can advise on suitable villas for events and accommodations for staff and guests.

Which agency do you book with?

My preferred agency to work with is WIMCO, the company my family started and ran for over 35 years. I pride myself on really strong relationships there. That said, certain clients may wish to have hotel amenities, in which case I book with other agencies. 

Is there an extra cost to book with you?

No, there is no extra cost to book with me. My compensation comes directly from the agencies, so clients pay no additional fees.

About Me

My first trip to St. Barth was at 6 weeks old. I have been grateful to spend a large part of my life visiting the island, as my family started WIMCO Villas. I worked for the company for nearly 10 years before its sale. My greatest memories are the family traditions we established on this island, and I love sharing that feeling with others, by booking amazing experiences for them. Prior to establishing the Warburton Co., I spent nearly a decade in the marketing and sales departments at WIMCO, and attended Columbia University. I live in Santa Monica, CA with my husband and two young children, all budding St. Barth devotees.
