Beachfront Paradise.
We love this 3 Bedroom Villa in the heart of Pelican . The view is incredible, watching the sunsets from the patio is quite the experience. The beach is about 8 steps from the terrace. But it was nicer to just cool off in the hot (cold) tub. The place is very spacious, a bit of a surprise when you open the door. One of the first floor bedrooms has a walk in closet and full shower/ powder room attached. The second bedroom has twin beds ( which we pulled together for a King size bed) Huge walk in closet and attached to a full bath.
The upper bedroom has a king sized bed, TV and amazing bath with separate shower, bathtub, bidet. Double closets. A washer and dryer are also located on the top floor.
It had a fully equipped kitchen, which we seldom used, except for breakfast. There are too many great restaurants on the island and several within walking distance. The dining room over looks the large living room which also has a big screen TV and a wall of windows, giving you spectacular views from every room on this floor. You can't beat the location.... about 15 minutes to the airport. 15 to 20 to Philipsburg. About 20 min to Marigot.35 to Orient (without traffic) Minutes to the LaVista , Flamingo and Simpson Bay resorts. All have restaurants and bars available to the public. The Hollywood casino and a favorite night life spot The Red Piano are about a 5 min walk. Bon Appitit restaurant is also a favorite breakfast, lunches, dinners or pizza are all excellent. The Peli Deli is a small convenience store with comparable pricing to the large Market Garden grocery store. Located on Welfare Rd right before you turn on Billy Folly Rd. to get to the Villa. Geraldine is the care taker and keeps the place immaculate. She is also gave us a few ideas about events on the island. I personally would rent a car, but if you choose not too, there are many restaurants on Welfare Rd. that you can walk to and I'd take a cab back. Don't miss burgers at Buccaneer Beach Bar. Fine dining at Charterhouse. Mexican at Jimbo's, German at Baveria, Prime Rib at Toppers, Seafood at Skip Jacks and watching the yachts come thru the draw bridge at the Simpson Bay Yacht Club. Pizza Galley is also great. But if it's relaxation you are looking for, you may not ever want to leave this villa. We've stayed here several times and look forward to doing so in the future...... You won't want to leave.
