About this property

Bell'Mare - Your Beachfront Escape with direct beach access and Ocean Views

"Bell’mare" means beautiful sea in Italian, and that’s exactly what you'll enjoy from every room in this stunning beachfront villa. Located in front of the white sands of Dawn Beach—this is the only home in the gated Dawn Beach Estates with private beach access just steps away.

This wonderful 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom fully air-conditioned villa was thoughtfully designed for relaxation and comfort. The equipped custom kitchen features stainless steel appliances and hardwood cabinetry, ideal for dining in. Throughout the home, you'll find comfort and beach vibes with inside and outside dining and lounging options.

Each bedroom offers a king-size bed, air-conditioning, and a spacious en-suite bathroom with stone showers. The bedrooms are equally sized, making Bell’mare perfect for couples or groups. The Master bedroom opens directly onto the pool deck, while the other two are on split levels—each with ocean views.

Enjoy uninterrupted sea views from every room. Step outside the living area through large sliding doors onto the covered terrace, complete with an outdoor dining and lounge area surrounding the private pool. Relax on the many sun loungers, or unwind in the shaded gazebo just steps from the pool. A private staircase takes you right to the shoreline.

Whether you’re planning a romantic escape or a family or friends group getaway, Bell’mare offers laid-back luxury in an unbeatable beachfront location.

Bell'Mare getaway

The property was as advertised and couldn't have been nicer. There were three couples and we each had our own bedroom with bathroom and then there were the many common areas that we all enjoyed. There were a few minor problems, but between Paul and Roger they were quickly resolved. A bit tricky to get to but well worth the drive. I think that we would all highly recommend Bell'Mare to anyone looking for a wonderful time in St. Maarten.

FANTASTIC VACATION!

Just got home from an AMAZING week! The home is a perfect set up with a bedroom on each floor. All bathrooms have a private bathroom. Each room has an incredible view. Home is well stocked with kitchen items and even pool towels. The washer and dryer were a nice added bonus. It’s important to note the there is not an air conditioner in the main living areas (kitchen, dining, and living room). However, the air units in the bedrooms were awesome. Had to call and have maintenance address a few minor things, but they fixed ASAP. Being in a gated community was a plus as well. Direct beach access was so nice. Pool was also relaxing. We will definitely be back!

Bell'Mare Villa, Dawn Beach, St. Maarten

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This villa had 3 large bedrooms, each with a spacious bathroom/walk-in shower, living room, dining room and kitchen as well as a large outdoor seating area and pool overlooking Dawn Beach. Short walk down a path to the beach next to the Westin Hotel. Property was in very good condition. Great location.

Great stay at Bell'Mare

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Fantastic holiday week at Bell'Mare. The villa is in a great location with direct access to Dawn Beach, which ended up being one of our favorite beaches on the island - no crowds, clear water. Easy to drive to Orient Beach and Grand Case from the villa. Villa is nicely setup - rooms are spacious, pool was great. Would definitely stay here again.

Nice Location with beach access but is somewhat lacking

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great spot with nice ocean views. Pool deck however was cluttered with planters and pool cleaning hoses and equipment. There was ants in the lower bedroom and kitchen and their solution was 2 cans of Raid. Oven was sketchy and needs some updating. yet priced accordingly.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It was a vacation of a lifetime! The villa was amazing and in a great location. Very private. Amazing views....We took taxis everywhere instead of renting a car and it worked out well. Right near the Westin so we ate lunch there at times and went to their beach bar. Very relaxing vacation. Always a breeze. Will be coming back.

A+ Home with gorgeous view and amenities

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Wonderful property, excellent location, impeccable views from a great vantage point. Indoor and outdoor furniture was comfortable and plentiful. We spent most of your time outside enjoying the gorgeous weather relaxing on the very large outdoor space. Pool was the perfect depth (and size) to cool off and relax. Kitchen was very well equipped. Beds were comfortable and King sized. AC in the bedrooms was good, and you definitely needed it to sleep. We were surprised the main living space was not air conditioned, but it didn’t seem to matter with the breeze coming through. Lenka was a pleasure to work with for the booking, Alice was very nice and welcoming at the airport, Paul was very responsive for any maintenance issues, the house cleaner was thorough, and Victoria was great at following up after the trip was over. Only a few hundred feet over to the Westin for casinos, restaurants, concierge assistance, whatever. We love to cook, so we actually BBQ’d on the patio almost every night; decent grill. Fresh fish from the downtown fisherman’s market or from Le Grand Marche’. Would definitely go back.

Bell'Mare was a great place to vacation!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed our stay at Bell'Mare. The few minor issues that we called about were quickly addressed and fixed. The maid service was above and beyond expected, thanks! The gift basket upon arrival was a nice surprise. The view and location was as I expected,and it is necessary to have a car to get anywhere except for The Westin. We did walk over there to eat one night and it was very good food. The pool was a little cooler than I like it, but they may have recently changed the water...not sure, but it was a minor inconvenience since we were out and about most of the time enjoying the many different beaches. I would recommend this villa and Remax Island Property Rentals for your vacation.

Weeks stay in st Maarten

Rating Details: I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. I was very happy with the location. The vacation rental was spotless. The property manager was very helpful. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I had a wonderful experience at Bell Mare. The house was far larger than the pictures make it appear and the location was better than any other. ac units worked well, house cleaning (Lilly) was great, Paul the property manager was prompted when we had a slight Internet issue. While I did not see the Gardner or pool man all week long and the bushes leading down to the beach where slightly overgrown, the house experience was better than expected. The house was fully equipped with everything one would need. Iron, new utensils, cell phone to contact management and local calls. I plan on staying at this location again in the future. Daniel

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: After missing 2 days of vacation due to a blizzard, we were anxious to spend time at Bell'Mare in St. Martin. Josette was very accomodating in changing our arrival plans multiple times due to changes from cancelled flights. The house was fully functioning except for bleeding of the gas line to light the stove as the house had been empty for some time. On the second night we were unable to use the gas grill as the connection from the tank was leaking. Once notified, the rental agency had someone come in first thing the next morning to replace the tank. We rented the house 3 years ago and everything was the same from the leaky toilet in the upstairs bedroom to the coffee maker. This is still the best and only beach front location with DIRECT access to Dawn beach. Very pleasant accomodations that I would highly recommend. We will probably be back in a year or two.

Wonderful experience!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had an abosultely wonderful family vacation. The house was beautiful and well cared for. The doors to the bedrooms do need the bottoms planed (they rub the floor badly and make a lot of noise). There was confusion with the car rental directions, but it all worked out. Thankfully Cynthia found us and took us to the house. The view and beach access as great. We loved the open beach front of the house and the We will return to St. Maaten and would rent this property again.

Bell Mare Rip Off

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Although the villa was lovely (notwithstanding a poorly equipped kitchen and an anti infestation)and had a gorgeous view, it had difficult roads to access it, the beach access was tricky and worst of all we were robbed on our last night by someone with keys - there was no forced entry. We had everything locked in the safe except was could not fit. It was an inside job, nothing belonging to the villa was taken. We even lost power cords but not the power cord for the villa cell phone. We're wondering now why the property mgmt decided to call the police on Monday and not immediately? Will the police or homeowner know about this theft and scam? It's supposedly a safe, gated community, so who but someone known could come in during a 2 hour time span on a Friday night? They waited until our last night to make sure that our guard was down and our purchases the greatest. Too bad for them that they only got a password protected laptop. I wouldn't recommend this island to anyone.
