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.

“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

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.

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.
