LUXURY BEACHFRONT APARTMENT ON THE BEACH AND TROPICAL GARDEN

Amazing condo with all you need on a beautiful quiet site. The view is fantastic a few steps from the sea. Many beaches to visit nearby. We had a wonderful time. Thank you Michal and Isabelle. We highly recommand this little treasure one week is too short.

My new husband and I stayed here for the last two nights of our honeymoon. We thought it was a really beautiful spot to enjoy a quiet secluded stay, and it was. The villa is beautifully decorated and we were very happy with the deck right on the beach. There were a few things that we had trouble with - mostly simple things that the Michal quickly fixed. We are from the US, and forgot a power adapter, which he brought over for us to use. A few things were not working and/or we couldn't figure out but those small things didn't put us out. Be sure to ask how everything works before the property manager leaves (washer/dryer, extra towels, TV, iron, etc.).

There was a lovely french pastry shop and pizza shack located within walking distance and I would highly recommend a visit to both. If you are planning on being close to all of the action and attractions, this might not be the place for you. If you plan on renting a car, and want to enjoy peace and quiet with a magnificent beach view, this will be perfect. Taxi's are tricky to locate, and we had to make arrangements in advance for airport pickups, etc. Once you get the lay of the land and explore the island, you will find this villa to be a sanctuary and a good "secret" spot to enjoy a cocktail at sunset. We met our neighbors who were renting for two weeks, and they loved every bit about the location.

Communication with property manager was wonderful and our requests/questions were quickly answered. Thank you very much for a wonderful visit. We hope to be back again someday!

We have been coming to St. Maarten twice a year for the last five years. I have to say this was the worst condo we have ever stayed in. Nothing is as it seems...the picture are old. To start with, the condo was extremely dirty. The pictures look great, but if the condo is dirty......who would want to stay there. The kitchen counters had a layer of greasy, sticky film that appeared as though it had not been cleaned in weeks. I could understand if they had missed some areas, but it was clear there was never an attempt to clean the counters. When I confronted Michal about the dirty counter tops, he said absolutely nothing. Instead, he grabbed a paper towel and wet it and proceeded to wipe the counter. I told him that would not clean the counter and that I could do that myself if I thought that would resolve the issue. He never acknowledged the conditions or offered any resolution. He did however ask me to make a pay the balance of the bill on his computer since we could not connect to the WI-fi. My husband and I were originally asked to pay the balance in cash (huge red flag). The appliances, refrigerator and the seating area was dirty with visible stains. Someone had cut a shower curtain and placed it over the couch as a cover. I discovered a layer of dirt under the couch while retrieving my sandals. There were no voltage adapters for American outlets since the condo is on the French side, although he did bring one after two days for my husband and I to share. Working the television was a complex task and required a visit from Michal to show us how to work it. In addition, there was someone stay upstairs which made us uncomfortable not knowing if the could enter into our side of the condo. We could hear everything that was going on upstairs and I am sure they could hear everything downstairs. After the first night we tried to find another place to stay, but since it was a few days before New Years, every place was booked. Yes, the condo is located on the beach but there is no pillows, lamps or covering like the one that appears in the picture of the outside lounge area. There was no hammock or rugs in the condo. No dryer and not all of the light switches worked. The reviews listed are good, but this was definitely not our experience. I would not recommend staying here.
