Villa Incognito - by Tim Robbins
Meet me Incognito baby,
We’ll soon leave our past behind us,
The present is always a mystery,
As the future never fails to remind us.
Once we’re alone Incognito,
We’ll remove our inhibitions.
But though we be free as jaybirds,
At no time will we take off our masks.
Cinderella went Incognito,
And it’s said that she had a ball.
It’s always fun at Incognito,
Incognito is our very best hope.
I’ll meet you where the sun always shines,
So do join me Incognito,
You know that I’ll never tell.
We’ll sneak in the back door of Heaven,
and Stroll unnoticed on the white Sandy beach.

There, every day’s a magical surprise.

About Sandy or Kim
Regular travellers to St Maarten and enjoy our precious time on this beautiful cosmopolitan island. After many years of searching and visiting all other Caribbean Islands, we fell "in love" with our 'piece of paradise' from the first time we visited - now discovered and updated the exclusive 'Villa Incognito'. St Maarten is called the "friendly island" because you will be welcomed and made to feel at home. Please read what our guests have to say below. We will be glad to answer any questions.
Sandy or Kim purchased this Villa in 2010
Why Sandy or Kim chose Pelican Key
This private 'hideway' is right on the beach with its own refreshing pool in a great location, near all amenities, restaurants, bars, bakeries, and 30+ magnificent beaches. The spacious patio is the perfect place to relax as the ocean sounds soothe the soul, watch the pelicans and hummingbirds, relax and sip cocktails and celebrate over "al fresco dining" all in one convenient heavenly place.
What makes this Villa unique
On the beach, large deck with pool, fresh 'trade winds' blow off the ocean cooling the house, ideal place to barbecue, cruise liners sail by daily, great snorkeling and scuba on the doorstep. Privacy and romantic setting makes the Villa unique. There is no comparison - on the beach with private pool.

Great place and location
We loved out stay at Villa Incognito. It was perfect for us. Great location in Simpson Bay area of Dutch side. Close to many restaurants and attractions. We would eat breakfast and lunch at the Villa and then go out to dinner, but we really could have just stayed there and relaxed the entire time. If you like being around strangers kicking sand, tagging all the good chairs ar 5am, kids whining, then you shouldn't stay here. Lol. The outdoor furniture is premium Dedon brand, great stuff. Pool is refreshing. Ocean wasn't great for swimming as there are a lot of rocks and coral, but you can walk down to the Flamingo and go in water there if you want, or drive to one of many beaches nearby. Maho beach with the jets coming in overhead is a must do.
Best of St. Maarten
Our family consisting of children 6 & 10 years and 3 adults spent a week in May 2016 at this breathtaking property. Before we even left we were provided with recommendations for car rentals, activities, dining options, etc. by the property owner. The pool was perfect for our kids. They spent more time in the pool than in the villa most days. The view from the deck was amazing and we had a great time exploring the beach for shells. All the utensils, pots and pans we needed to stay in and cook were provided. Although there were really nice restaurants in walking distance - kids loved Buccaneers Bar and the croissants from Bon Apetit down the road. Driving the island to various beaches was relatively easy. The beds and bedding was incredibly comfortable and the sleeping arrangements were perfect (bunks, large bed downstairs & upper master suite). Very large ceiling fans in the bedrooms and main living area provided additional comfort from the heat. We would absolutely return to Incognito. Beautiful home, great layout, fantastic pool and breathtaking views. What more could you ask for?!!
Amazing views!
We enjoyed our stay January 2016. The villa is beautiful, with all of the amenities you need for a relaxing vacation. The pool is great and hearing the waves breaking on the rocks while you are sunning on the deck is wonderful. We loved the circle chair, our son was in it all day long and at the end of the day we would lay in it and review our day. We rented a car and drove around to see many of the sights on the island. The butterfly farm was very interesting, Maho beach was fun to experience, the many restaurants near the villa were good. We drove to Dawn beach and ate at Canoa. Definitely worth the drive, call and make reservations so you can sit by the water! One thing is make sure you have bug spray, the bugs at night can get pretty bad especially at the restaurants near the water. We can't say enough about Olive!! She is a wealth of knowledge and will help you with anything you need. Kim and Sandy also answered any questions we had.
We would stay again!! It is absolutely a lovely place to stay and a beautiful island to visit.
Thanks Angie. Olive loved having you guys around and thanks for sharing our piece of paradise.Most guests don't venture as far as Dawn beach so you must have lots of energy. Glad that you enjoyed it and we look forward to welcoming you back.
FANTASTIC!!
Fantastic
What can I say more than has already been said. Perfect! Beautiful Villa, Beautiful Island, and Olive’s beautiful spirit and personality made for a wonderful stay. Looking forward to a fall visit. Great Job Kim & Sandy! We will be back!!
Loved it!
We loved Villa Incognito. The view from the pool deck is just unbelievable. The location is very private and serene, yet conveniently located close to groceries and restaurants. We were met upon arrival by Olive, who is a true gem. She made us feel very welcomed and at home. Although we explored a large part of the island, we really enjoyed our time at the Villa's pool more than any other spot. It is very evident that Sandy and Kim have put very careful thought into all the features in the Villa, including appliances, bedding and outdoor furniture. This was our first time to the island and we truly enjoyed our experience. We hope to be able to return sometime in the future and would definitely stay at Villa Incognito again! Thanks Kim, Sandy and especially Olive!!
We will definitely be back!!!
My wife and three kids (17, 14, and 11) had a wonderful week at Villa Incognito. The villa was the perfect setting for our family to relax and just get away. The villa was very comfortable with amazing views, right on the beach, and a nice private pool. The location was very convenient with several restaurants and shopping nearby. We will definitely be back for another visit.
