A paradise on Earth

My experience, and that of my wife, was wonderful. The breathtaking views that this property affords one is worth staying at this property. The property, though on the Dutch side, is less than 10 minutes drive to the French border. It is close to the beaches, shopping, and restaurants. I will always stay at this property when i visit St. Maarten.

Amazing Property

This property is a must-stay for people visiting St. Maarten. The property was very clean and up-to-date. The view of St, Bart, the ocean, and the surrounding area is fabulous. The cool breeze and the ocean sound at night can easily lure someone to sleep. The property manager was outstanding in his communication as the check-in process was very smooth. Thank you Jon!

Amazing views but dilapidated vila

The vila has an amazing view of Guana Bay, the mountains and Saint Barthélemy. The villa is located in a secluded quiet neighborhood. The Villa is advertised as two bedrooms with two bathrooms, nowhere does it indicate that the second bathroom is in the owners private bathroom that is not for the renters use, so to use the second bathroom one has to awkwardly walk through the owners room that is full of the owners personal stuff. The villa is dilapidated especially the kitchen and bathroom.

Indeed surprised to see your recent bad review after we submitted our factual review. Please note: The second bathroom is not a shared bathroom and is for the exclusive use for all guests!

A great "find"

We have stayed on St. Martin many times but we have to say this villa was a great "find". It is in a quiet area, easily accessible to restaurants, shopping, beaches, hiking and groceries. The villa was clean, comfortable, roomy and the view just awesome. The large pool was sparkling clean and we enjoyed it everyday after a day of sight-seeing, shopping or hiking. The Butterfly Farm and the Bird Park/Parotte Ville were delightful, we loved them (best to go early in the day to Butterfly Farm and Bird Park). The Greenhouse Restaurant in Phillipsburg takes less then 10 minutes to get to and was one of our favorites. The owners and manager were kind and helpful; overall we were very happy with this lovely villa and would definitely recommend it.

Miscommunication followed with threats from host.

Property needs updates but view is amazing. Unfortunately one traveler’s passport was missing. We checked out and filled a police report. We were invited to come back and look for the passport. We were told that since the place had not yet been clean out of courtesy we could stay until our rebooked flight the next day. Upon waking up we were told that we should pay for an extra night. We did not bring any bags back on and stayed in town till well after 3AM. We met with the manager at 6:30 am. Since most of our party left we would have made more reasonable accommodations for one night had the owner said he wanted to charge us for the extra night. What appeared to be a nice gesture now feels like a blackmailing. Not a good experience.

Mr. Gayle, You extra night stay was never authorized by owners or management as a courtesy. You promised to pay, and then left the property without paying. Sad to say you and fellow guests left the Villa in total disarray. We have filed the report with VRBO, and have also submitted sample photos of the condition of the villa after your departure. We wish you good luck in your future travels. Kind regards, Jon

VIEWS, VIEWS, VIEWS!!

My family (of 5) recently stayed at fleur de mer. The pictures give a completely accurate idea of what the location looks like, no surprises. What a great location, the views of the ocean are amazing, views from every bedroom. We never used the air conditioning, the breeze off the ocean keep us cool during the night. The main patio is a dream; we spent most of our time there staring out at the Atlantic. The villa has pretty much everything you need, as well as some great extra’s like pool towels and chairs for the beach. There is a ton of space, which is nice when when you come with a big group. Phillipsburg is only a 6 min drive away and the nearest grocery store, Mr K’s is literally a 2 min drive (try his ham and cheese croissants, so good). Marie the property manager was GREAT, always available when needed if anything came up. The owner is also very accessible and gave us an introductory phone call a week before we came, really great touch! Some things to note: The island is still recovering from the hurricane, but most of the beaches, at least on the Dutch side are back in action. French side seems to still be struggling a bit, in Grand Case some structures that look pretty rough. With that in mind we still had an amazing time., we spent quite a few days at the pool, you really do not want to leave that view. Mosquitoes were pretty aggressive while we were there, and due to the open concept of the villa we got bit pretty bad. The villa kindly provides repellant, but if you allergic like my sister is, you definitely want to make sure you have your medication with you. Bring a sweater! The breeze is cooling during the day, and can get a little chilly at night, but that may be due to the time of year.
