About this property

Enjoy one of the best kept secrets in the Caribbean.. After vacationing on St. Martin for twenty years, we discovered this lovely quiet spot and knew we had to call it home. Now we are welcoming visitors to our Caribbean Paradise. Enjoy quiet mornings with the birds singing or take an early morning stroll or dip on beautiful, two mile long, white sand Simpson Bay Beach, directly off our pool deck, steps from our large private ground floor lanai. Snorkel directly 'out back' on the beach where you can also jet ski or kayak (or rent a yacht for the day). Every day is a fabulous parade of yachts sailing across Simpson Bay and every night divine sunsets. Nature’s show is really spectacular! You really never have to leave the property but then you would miss the plethora of terrific restaurants, casinos, gyms and other activities our “neighborhood” has to offer. While we maintain a firm cancellation policy we are always happy to work with people should something come up which causes you to cancel.

Nice!

Overall the space was very nice. There were a few things that needed a bit of attention, but nothing major. It was wonderful to be able to step out our door to the pool and then just a few more steps to the beach and sand.

Secret Gem

My wife, two daughters (19 and 17), and I stayed at this condo during Christmas week (December 24th through 29th). We really enjoyed the place. The location is excellent. It is in Simpson Bay (close to the airport) and close to many great restaurants. The Sunset views are magnificent. In addition, we saw beautiful yachts going in and out of the bay. Originally, I thought it would be better to have a condo at a higher floor but I’m glad we rented this one at the ground level. The view was great with very easy access to the beach and pool. It was very easy to run in and grab a drink rather than having to take steps. You can see planes landing from the veranda/pool. In case you are wondering about airplane noise, we didn’t find that to be an issue. You will hear some noise, primarily in the afternoon when there is more flight activity, but any noise gets drowned out by the sound of the waves. Even though it was considered peak time at the Island, we never felt crowded at the condo. Quite to the contrary. Most of the time, we had the pool to our ourselves. There were people on the beach but it was far from crowded. The apartment as well as the condo complex is well maintained. It seems like the pool deck was recently redone. We had a problem with the AC on the condo. We notified the local Manager (Marinka) and it was fixed on the same day even though it was a holiday in the Island. We really appreciated the quick response and attention. I debated whether to rent a car because you can walk to many restaurants from the condo. When we arrived, we took a cab from the airport (about $6 USD per person) but I did go back to get a car the next day to do some exploring on the island. Although there is a lot of traffic and the roads are not very wide, I found driving to be very easy. Although we would like to keep this place a secret, we highly recommend staying at this condo if you are considering a vacation in St Maarten. We communicated with the owner (Johanna) extensively via email. She was always happy to answer questions and provided tons of information about the Island. Thank you for sharing your place with us.

A few misses

We stayed at this property from 12/20 - 12/23. We are a family of 4 (2 adults and 2 kids). We had a mixed experience. The pre check-in and check-in experience was great. Owner was very prompt and detailed in her communication about the property and the nearby stuff. Manager was also quite responsive throughout our stay, but could not act promptly to take care of issues (details below). Location was great. Property is right on the bay, which cannot be beaten. The overall complex was well maintained and Simpson bay has the right mix of privacy and activities. Also, a ton of good restaurants/night life close by. Where the property missed the mark was the fact that a few things did not work. All of them are out of owner's control probably, but some of them are bothersome. First, the phone in the house did not work and the maintenance guy said the phone company had to come in. Didn't happen during our stay. A slight inconvenience, but not a big deal. We could manage with other means of communication. But the master bathroom shower and one of the sinks were clogged. When we notified the manager, she told us that the maintenance guy would be in the next day. But he did not come due to some emergency. Again, out of owner's control, but we were not notified of that and we had to call in again to find out. That was not good customer service. And when the maintenance guys finally came in, he repaired the sink, but could not fix the shower. Neither he nor the property manager knew how to get it fixed and so the master bath was out of commission throughout our stay. This was a big inconvenience esp after long beach days. But more importantly, there was neither acknowledgement of our inconvenience nor a more proactive attempt to repair it. It was like the owner and the manager were awol after they realized this issue was unfixable. It was let down, esp. after they were so prompt in communication when things were good. Anyways, I recommend folks ensuring all the stuff is in working order before proceeding further, Thanks,

Very pleased with everything

Had an excellent time visiting Sint Maarten. The condo was as advertised and close to lots of things. Johanna is very knowledgeable about the area and gives you everything you need to know to have a great time on the island. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking to visit!
