Ideal place for a family

The unit was very, very clean and had everything that we needed. Patrick was great to work with, very responsive and provided all informtion needed. We took our dog and he loved it. This was our 7th visit to the island and 3rd time at Nettle Bay-our first in this unit and so far the best!!!!Would have no problem going back and hope to go back at Christmas.

The property was as described, well maintained and well serviced. I would certainly recommend this property to anyone. Best restaurant visited--Le Santal.

Vielen Dank für den tollen Aufenthalt. Das Apartment ist ideal,die Lage auch auf der Insel bestens für alle Inselerkundungen.Sehr empfehlenswert für einen Eindruck der Karibik! Alles hat super geklappt. Gute Betreuung durch die Verwaltungsagentur.

This is the perfect play for a family. Easy to get to from the airport. Very clean. It is close to the main road, but we rarely heard any road noise. Very close to Marigot. I do think you need a car where ever you stay in St. Maarten, as there really are no sidewalks and there is so much to see.

It is directly on the beach, although i would not consider it a swimming beach. there is a small area that people were swimming at, but the sign that warned of sea urchins was enough to keep me just wading. not a problem for us, because we like to "beach hop" while in st. maarten and go to a different beach everyday. the pools are beautiful, so there is no problem staying cool.

overall, it was a great experience. patrick was easy to work with. you will not find a better price. sitting here amid yet another 3 inches of snow, i could go back tomorrow!

This was our ninth visit to stay on Nettle Bay, at what used to be a hotel called the Nettle Bay Beach Club. But, this was the first stay for our family of four in what the NBBC is now- private residences.

The duplex is simple, clean, very comfortable and has all that you need for a week (or longer) stay. We had our own room and our two children, aged 14 and 11, had their own room upstairs. This gave us all a sense of both privacy and family. Our favorite place at the duplex is the private front porch that over looks the pool (warm and fabulous) to the right, then down to the beach (watch out for sea urchins- with wonderful swimming beach just to the left), and with the island of Anguilla in the distance. We enjoyed being able to make great meals or walk to the local market to get fresh French breakfast or lunch food, and look out at the beautiful Caribbean vista. The Marigot street market, on the wharf towards Anguilla (on both Wednesday and Saturday) remains one of our favorite family activities. And some of the islands best beaches, for swimming and snorkeling, are only a very short drive away.

The duplex owner could not have been more warm and accommodating, and he answered all of our questions. He called to welcome us and make sure that all was well, and arranged for us to have cell phones, a cot for our son, etc.,- anything that we needed. His Saint Martin contacts, who met us with the keys at the duplex when we arrived, were also friendly and helpful and full of information.

Since we first went to Saint Martin, in 1991, we have seen many changes. On our recent visit, we were a bit disheartened by a somewhat diminished island vitality and infrastructure, a fact that reminded us that even glorious Saint Martin can suffer from some of the growing pains and changing times that are also impacting the rest of the world. We have been blessed many times with the opportunity to see the most spectacular of natural Caribbean scenes, meet many warm and friendly people, and partake in wonderful food and drink. As usual for us, when we leave- we can't wait to go back.

Le duplex de NBBC apporte repos,soleil,calme et une vue magnifique sur la mer et la baie de Marigot. L'accès libre à la piscine, sécurisé pour les enfants, est un "plus"
Facilement accessible, la résidence est située près de tous les centres d'intérêt de l'île: les plages, Marigot, Philipsburg.
Il est important de louer une voiture pour profiter de son séjour.
L'appartement était très propre à notre arrivée.
Le service d'entretient est efficace et avec beaucoup de gentillesse et de bonne humeur.
Une suggestion cependant: l'installation d'un lave-linge dans le duplex,et quelques améliorations du mobilier (chaises, table, vaisselle) seraient très utiles pour les locataires.
Le TASTEVIN est un excellent restaurant à Grand-Case.
Il faut éviter de rouler en voiture à Marigot entre 11heures et 14heures en raison d'un grand nombre d'embouteillages.
Il s'agit d'un lieu de vacances idéal que je recommanderais volontiers à mon entourage.
Une excursion sur l' île d'Anguilla, en prenant le bateau au port de Marigot, permet de passer des moments agréables dans une nature plus sauvage qu'à Saint-Martin.
En conclusion, nous espérons pouvoir revenir pour un séjour plus long, dans quelques temps.

We have been going to St. Martin and renting Villa's for at least 6+ years. This particular villa was the nicest. It was very clean and spacious. We go every year with another couple and there is complete privacy. Each bedroom has it's own bathroom and the kitchen/living area is very roomy. The owners of this villa are very accomodating and went out of his their way to make sure we were happy with our stay, even down to the last detail.

We had a problem with the cell phone we rented and he called us and walked us right through the problem.
I cannot say enough about the personal service we received. It was very much appreciated.

To me, Nettle Bay is the perfect location. It's a 10 minute drive to the Dutch side of St. Martin, a 5 minute drive to Marigot, close to Grand Case also, and the time we spent in the apartment is peaceful and tranquil. The perfect get away. It's good for families or couples and has all the amenities of home. The neighbors were quiet and it is kid friendly too. It was like a little bit of paradise. I would definitley recommend it to friends and family and will go back again next year. We really enjoyed our stay.

This is really the place to be; A well -maintained property with plenty of room, even with our 4 kids. On walking distance from Sandyground where my sister lives. A nice clean swimmingpool, also for the little ones. Eating fresh fish from the barbeque and drinking the juice of the coconuts. Just relaxing with only the noise of the sea and the wind, blowing in the palms.
From the house we've walked over the beach to Marigot and the other side to Point Bluff and Bay Rouge.
We certainly will come back in this place on our next visit to St.Martin. And will recommand this property to our relatives.
