Photos and Description of the Philipsburg vacation villa rental
2BR, 2 full baths, 1/2 bath, Oceanfront Rental. St. Maarten, sleeps 6

This two bedroom, two and a half bath villa is situated right on Great Bay Beach in a small complex of twelve individual villas with a lovely beach front swimming pool and breath-taking ocean views. This gated complex with on-site management is the perfect place to relax around the pool or to just lounge on your private lanai or elevated deck overlooking our beautiful beach. It is remodeled with new furniture and king beds.

The location is ideal because it is on the opposite side of Great Bay from the bustling Philipsburg Cruise Port, so you can enjoy the wonderful views of the cruise ships' comings and goings without the crowds! There are as many as six cruise ships in port at one time and watching them is a favorite past-time of just about everyone who stays at our complex.

There are endless activities available in Saint Maarten/Saint Martin and the surrounding islands if you are interested in something other than vegging out on our gorgeous beach or beachside pool and patio

Review Submitted: January 31, 2012 Date of Stay: January 2012
We just returned from our “Tropical Paradise Vacation” at The Villas On Great Bay. We had a wonderful time and would highly recommend The Villas to anyone interested in a St. Maarten vacation. Upon arrival we were warmly welcomed by Frank, the property manager. He was very friendly and very accommodating. We found the unit to be extremely clean and beautifully updated. The grounds were gorgeous with the garden walkway, the nice pool area and the relaxing beach. It was very secure with locked gates and the location was just a short walk to Phillipsburg where all the cruise ships dock. The pier offered great shopping, great dining and spectacular views! So much to do, so much to see but if you are just looking for a relaxing time The Villas provide that as well. Thank you so much Frank, Sandy and Doug!

Owner's Response: We are so glad you had a great time. Our location is something we think is unsurpassed on the island.

Review Submitted: December 11, 2011 Date of Stay: December 2011
Great Location, and wonderful home-like feel in an extremely well equipped condo. Pool and beach could not be better. Kitchen was perfect bar support and facility for ribs and fries. SUKI grocery 1 block away is all we needed. Managers, Frank and Sandy, took very good care of us. Sint Maarten was just as we remembered it. The $1 Busses were all we needed for transport all over the island. After just finishing our cruise the day before, watching the cruise ships come and go was special. We hope to return as soon as possible.

Excellent quality with perfect location

Review Submitted: October 10, 2011 Date of Stay: September 2011
We stayed at this Villa in the first week of October 2011. We were two adult couples, and must say that the Villa as well as the property as a whole is very nice indeed. Villa was in perfect shape, pleasant and well equipped. The property as a whole has a fantastic location on the beach, while having assured privacy and a small but fully adequate and relaxing pool. We warmly recommend this Villa for people who are looking for quality.

Perfect villa on the beach!

Review Submitted: April 10, 2011 Date of Stay: March 2011
My family stayed in this unit for our spring break in March, 2011. We absolutely loved the unit and had a wonderful time. The owners, Doug and Becky, thought of everything we could possibly need. We were very comfortable and with the beautiful views, even felt pampered all week! The location is perfect- our teenagers could walk to the boardwalk within minutes, and it was close to the dive shop that we used in Simpson Bay. We walked to Suki's store each morning for a fresh baguette to make sandwiches for our daily outing. Some nights, we used the grill to make a meal when we stayed in. I think we ate every single meal out on the patio as it was so pretty. The managers, Frank and Sandy, were outstanding- so helpful and full of information and just great people! We loved everything about St. Maarten and hope to be back. We really enjoyed Orient Beach, Friar's Bay, Bay Rouge, many restaurants in Grand Case, driving around the island and seeing other beaches, and diving with Ocean Explorers. When we do come back, we'd love to stay at the villas again. Thank you for a wonderful vacation!

Wonderful Time at your Villa

Review Submitted: April 8, 2011 Date of Stay: January 2011
My Wife, my son and myself had a wonderful time at your villa. It was clean, comfortable and full of supplies. The location was great and we felt very safe.

Everything we needed was in the kitchen. The TV and wireless were nice. The bathrooms were beautiful. Frank and Sandy, your onsite managers, were also very helpful and kind.

I can't think of any improvements we would suggest.

We would definitely recommend your villa to our friends and family. Once we travel a bit more and explore the world I'm sure we'll realize that your villa will be one of the best and come again.
