Photos and Description of the Philipsburg vacation condo 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

Recently remodeled: Tastefully decorated with all new beds and bedding (600 thread count silky sheets!), sleeper sofa and living room furniture. All 3 bathrooms were entirely remodeled with the 2 private upstairs bedroom baths each receiving new round showers and rain showerheads with handheld shower wands. A new viewing deck is available through patio doors from the ocean side bedroom which overlooks the beach, ocean, and cruise ship dock. The entire kitchen was remodeled including a new stove, full sized microwave, dishwasher, plenty of cabinet space, and marble tile. We repainted the entire interor and fully stocked with dinner ware, cooking supplies, spices, blender, and bar accessories. There are even little drink umbrellas waiting just for you!

Short walk to everything: There is a local convenience store a half block away for the last minute necessities. Your favorite restaurants, shops, piers, and people watching is just a short 5-10 minute walk down the beach or boardwalk. This is one of the best locations on the island as you can have peace and quiet when you want it or walk just a few minutes to all the shopping, restaurants, and beach activiity your heart would ever desire.

About Doug

This is a picture of my wife, myself and our two sons. We live in Topeka, KS and love going to warm beach weather. We love all the activities, shopping, and wonderful food on the island. We have been going to St. Maarten for almost 20 years and finally decided that this was the perfect location to keep coming back to. It is the perfect location as the access to the beach and town cannot be beaten. Also, you are a short walk or drive away from grocery stores, restaurants, and shopping.

Doug purchased this condo in 2010
Why Doug chose Philipsburg

We discovered St. Maarten 20 years ago and this villa almost 5 years ago. We know you will enjoy this beautiful location with great views of the ocean and a short convenient walk to shopping, beach activities, restaurants, and ice cream shops! We're proud of our vacation property and know that you will want to keep coming back.

Perfect Family Vacation Wonderful Villa

5 of 5
Submitted: December 25, 2012 Stayed: December 2012
We spent a week in villa #2 and had an amazing time, just wonderful vacations, very good alternative to hotel for family, really a home away from home..
Very greatful for finding this option, villa was just perfect for us with two small children and a tennager, excellent loaction on the beach in great bay close to boardwalk, shops and restaurants in Phillipsburg you could see ships coming and going everyday, Villa exceded our expectations, everything was impecable, bathrooms, rooms, kitchen very well stocked and equipped something that was great for us preparing dinner coming back from outings, breakfast and snaks for day trips. Villa has uper deck in one bedroom in front of ocean and terrace in living area, outside is pool and terrace with new lounge chairs and tables in between a half a dozen palm trees (our idea of paradise). Just perfect for relaxing in the evening, villa well eqiuiped with cable tv plenty of fans and air conditionings. Supermarket close by although we finally prefered supermarkets on French side. Jim and Gina were very kind and friendly with us and our children helping us with tips and even placing a small pool for our little Antonia.(a big hug form all of us). We had an amazing time on the island visiting almost all major beaches staying our final days in Mullet bay due to its pool like tranquil and transparent waters. We also did buterfly farm, Pinel and Anguilla (all very worth it). Villas are in an excellent location, are very pretty and private and for us gave us a perfect "home" for our family to enjoy our week in St. Marteen, our only regret is not having stayed longer.
Again our thanks to Doulgas, Jim and Gina for helping make our vacations perfect, a warm hug form all of us, we wish you an excellent 2013 and we really look forward to seeing you again soon; Matias, Georgia and family - Santiago Chile

Wonderful Vacation- Young family with a toddler

5 of 5
Submitted: November 30, 2012 Stayed: November 2012
Before we even arrived, Doug provided so much fantastic information about what to do, where to rent a car and we felt very prepared for our vacation.

When we got there, the condo is better in real life than the pictures posted. The condo was very clean, plenty of linens and towels, a very updated condo with wonderful amenities. There was a washing machine and dryer on the premises and it was easy to use.

My husband, 20 month old baby and sister came for a relaxing vacation. The wifi was good in the condo and that helped us have access back home if needed. The pool was awesome and Doug had a pool purchased for our toddler and he had a blast. Jim, the onsite manager and his wife were amazing. They were so nice and helpful. They made our vacation wonderful! Wilfred the nightwatchman and everyone that was on the property was so nice.

It is truly beach front, we rented a car and drove all over St. Maarten. We took Doug's PDF and used it every day. We went somewhere every day and we took a day trip to Anguilla. We enjoyed the restaurants he suggested very much and the grocery store had everything we needed. The funny thing is they only have huggies- not pampers so we are glad we brought diapers. We couldnt find any swim diapers, so bring your own! One of our favorite restaurants was Chesterfields- a wonderful suggestion from Doug. You must watch the planes land and take off- one of our highlights and the butterfly garden was so fun for our toddler. We had lots of conch, lobster and fish.

One fun thing is that cruise ships do come to the beach so there are many shops and bars that you can walk to. It didnt get crowded where we were at all and we saw cruise ships coming in each day. We had the best time and can't wait to go back.
Owner's Response: Thank you so much for your kind comments. We are glad that your entire family had such a great vacation. We look forward to seeing you back someday.

Great Bay Villa Vacation

We stayed at the villa from 23-30 Apr 2012 and found it to be as good or better than what was described in the listing. It was clean and very well equipped. The owner was very helpful in answering my questions before our trip. The onsite manager, Frank and his wife Sandy were extremely helpful and pleasant to work with. The location was excellent with many shops and restaurants within a five minute walk. I would definitely recommend this villa to anyone going to SXM and hopefully we will be back next year.

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!

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.
