Affordable Romantic Luxury Condo with Stunning Ocean Views in Gated Community

This was the fifth consecutive year my wife and I have spent multiple weeks in this condo in the gated community AquaMarina near Maho, Cupecoy, the French side of the island as well as all the activities and restaurants in Simpson Bay. The condo is the perfect size for two people. The kitchen has just been remodeled and now has a dishwasher and other upgrades. We have always found the washer and dryer to be very beneficial as well.

Bruce and Joyce do a great job maintaining their property and have always been very attentive to any of our needs. The on-site property manager Robert works closely with the owners to address any immediate needs.

This property is under 24 hour security protection. We have always felt safe during our stays.

We plan to spend multiple weeks again next year in this condo and can heartily recommend that couples consider staying here while vacationing on Sint Maarten.

My wife and I have visited St. Martin (7) years in a row. This is the 1st time we have stayed with Bruce and Joyce. We are glad to say we have found a place that we will return to next year and many years after that. We had a wonderful time and a perfect stay. No longer will we be searching for a place to stay. This place is "perfect".

Bruce and Joyce:

Thank you for allowing us to rent your Condo in Sint Maartens. From the first E mail it felt like I was dealing with my next door neighbour. Everything was as described in your rental advertisement. Your person, on the island, Robert, was always quick to answer any E mails or questions. The unit is well stocked with necessary items like beach chairs, umbrella, towels for beach, and the Wi-Fi worked great.

Kitchen, we were happy to find all the spices and oils. We like to entertain ourselves with a nice meal and good bottle of wine. This was very easy for us.

Having a 5th floor unit we felt very comfortable and having a nice gentleman like Terry at the gate to see you in and out was reassuring.

You and Joyce are a fine couple to deal with and we have no problem recommending your unit.

Again Thank You

This was our 9th time to St. Maarten and our first time to stay at AquaMarina. The condo was perfect. Beautiful views and was very well stocked with everything we needed for our stay. We prefer to stay in condos when we travel so we can have the option to cook on occasion rather than eat out. However, we have found that sometimes the condos aren't as well equipped with kitchen utensils, appliances, etc. as we would like. This is such not the case with this condo. Bruce and Joyce have put such detail into making their condo a home away from home. It is beautifully furnished. The bed was very comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed using the hurricane shutters at night to keep out the morning sun. This was our first time to stay on the lagoon side and I have to say we preferred it because there is so much more to see from the balconies - and taking a stroll down to the Marina was lovely. The AquaMarina complex itself is very private and peaceful. We would definitely stay there again. Lastly, Bruce and Joyce are very attentive owners. They were always available to answer any questions we had, etc. The tip sheets regarding the condo that they send you before you leave (and are also there at the condo) were very helpful. Thanks again for having us! We hope to be back again soon!

(Resubmitting a review for a trip back in Feb 2013, but VRBO won't let me enter a date that far back...) I just returned from a quick trip down to SXM and my stay at AquaMarina X51 could not have been better. This was my first time using VRBO and I was definitely more than a little nervous to pull the trigger, however, I am certainly glad I did. Communication with the owners could not have been better and the transaction was simple and smooth. Bruce and Joyce answered all of my questions, offered advice, and genuinely cared that I had a great vacation. About the condo itself? There really isn't anything I can add that hasn't already been said in previous reviews. The condo is fantastic and is exactly as described - clean, quiet, private, modern furnishings, well-appointed, and perfect for one or two people. Although my trip was very short and I never really used it, the kitchen is fully applianced and has everything you could need for a longer stay. The balconies offer great views of Simpson Bay lagoon. The AC works great and it is fantastic to have a washer/dryer in the condo. Another plus, is the reassurance provided by having an onsite contact if you should have any questions. The location was perfectly convenient to all the places I frequent, with short drives to anywhere from Baie Nettle through Simpson Bay. My experience at AM X-51 could not have been better. Thank you Bruce and Joyce for having me as your guest!
