Beautiful location! The home is beautiful with a few minor things. The low score on communication was before the trip, it was good while in country. If we return to St Martin we would stay here again.
This is a beautifully designed villa! When you walk in the front door, you have breathtaking views through the back of the house. High ceilings, huge windows in all directions, large great room. The pool area is the same - absolutely beautiful and well-designed space. There is one bedroom in the main part of the house where my mother in law stayed. The rest of us (3 adult couples) stayed in the bedrooms that are attached to the house, but separate. You could hear the waves on the shore from each of the bedrooms, which was a fabulous way to go to sleep and wake up every day. There are rocks right in front of the house, but sandy entry into the water just a short walk down the beach. VERY private, quiet location. Max and Leo were fabulous! House does show signs of aging, but doesn't take away from its appeal/charm! Would definitely stay here again!
The home is in a great location. Very save in a gated area. Very few people on the beach. BUT... the week we were there, the beach was too rough to be able to enter the water at all. There is a lava ledge (very cool for looking for shells and critters) that makes it too dangerous to swim. I was hopeful that we would not need to leave the house to swim and snorkel. Also, the 5th bedroom (we intentionally looked for a home with 5 bedrooms for our 4 teenagers) is in a bungalow across the property with no wifi. So I feel like that was misleading. Overall, we loved the home and would likely stay there again, just with a different expectation of what the property was. We knew it was dated, given the reviews we read, but the unswimmable beach and 5th bedroom across the property was a surprise. Max was awesome and super helpful before and during our stay!
The house is a little run down and you need to be a gymnast to get into the showers, but whatâs right about the villa (its location on the beach, wonderful views, the pool) far outweighs any shortcomings. I would definitely stay there again.
