Beautiful home, Stunning View!

We stayed at Villa Valhalla with our 3 teenage kids and another family of 4. The house was beautiful, clean, well stocked with stunning views! Plenty of room for us all. It’s located in a safe and quiet neighborhood overlooking Dawn Beach. Everything was as stated from the website, except the kitchen has been updated and looks great. We had excellent communication before and during the trip. We were able to walk to the beach, and had dinner at the new JW Marriott. It was nice to have a close option on a night we didn’t want to drive or cook. We have nothing but great things to say about everyone who helps care for the home, all so pleasant to talk to. They were very accommodating to us. We have stayed on the island before and did feel this was a nice location, split between the French and Dutch side so other than the airport, most restaurants and beaches we wanted to visit were no more than 20 minutes from us by car. We personally love renting a car to see the whole island on our vacations. We also love a nice, quiet spot to come back to each evening and thoroughly enjoyed our time at the house, using the pool and hot tub all week. You won’t be disappointed with this house, would definitely recommend!

Dream Family Vacation

This estate is everything as described and even more than you can imagine. Pulling into Dawn Beach Estates and driving down to view the ocean is breathtaking. The views from every back window of the house are like a dream. We loved the entire house. Every guest was happy with their room and amenities. We used the pool and hot tub every day. The kitchen supplied us with anything we could have needed. Our quick trip over the back road to the bakery was exciting. The house is located central to everything on the island. Dawn Beach is beautiful and quiet and the walk is easy enough for the entire family. My only regret is that we didn’t stay longer. 7 days isn’t enough! Highly recommend this house for anyone looking to relax and explore St Martin!

Fantastic Villa

The view is amazing, so beautiful, 180 degrees of beauty St Barts and Dawn beach area. Dawn beach is beautiful and easy to get to. Quick walk down and over the stairs. The roads are no joke and very steep and narrow. But you will run into that for any house with a view like this. We would've preferred a rental car with ground clearance. There are restaurants nearby but definitely driving distance except the bar/resaurant at the beach. The owner had blow dryers, books, games, floaties for the pool, great internet, a well stocked kitchen, and beach towels. The housekeeper refreshed the beach towels twice during the stay, such a luxury. All things that make a great beach house. We really appreciated the services of the housekeeper and pool professional, and Pierre the house manager. They check to make sure you know how to work everything and keep it in good order. Daphne the owner stopped by to check in on us too. So nice! The pool is really great we used it to cool off. We were there New Year's and it was 75 degrees. People that enjoy firm beds will be very happy. I would go again tomorrow if I could, it's so great.

The perfect vacation spot

Our family needed a location for rest and relaxation, with the ability to walk to the beach an easy access to the rest of the island for exploration. Villa Valhalla exceeded these expectations is all ways, with the sole exception of there not being a supermarket within walking distance - or a 5 minute drive. But nevertheless, all had a gratifying and relaxing week.

About the host

Hosted by Daphne Firth

My husband and I recently retired and now plan to spend more time at our wonderful villa home. We love our vacation home which we built in 2004 - our kids have spent many memory filled spring breaks at this wonderful villa. We are happy to share our special place with other families.

Why they chose this property

We loved St. Martin because of its international flavor and european feel. Wonderful French restaurants, warm friendly people, easy flight connections and dependably beautiful weather. We are committed to supporting the island after Hurricane Irma.

What makes this property unique

To us, our house is Viking Heaven - hence the name. We still are amazed by the incredible views and our French architect did some wonderful things with the lighting and design to make this house warm, relaxing and very comfortable.
