About Luke
A couple in their 50s which had the incredible luck to buy this small piece of paradise. We're glad to share it with our guests from all over the world.
Luke purchased this villa in 2010
Why Luke chose Philipsburg
Villa #9 is the perfect place to relax. If you want privacy we are the side unit, no other guests passing by. If you want to share drinks and fun, we are 30 seconds walk from the common area with pool and long chairs. In a wider perspective the villa is on quite residential area of the town but in five minutes walk you are downtown with duty free world class shopping, restaurants and casinos. Just one mile from Marina with daily high speed service to St. Barth.
You can wake up in the morning sorrounded by nothing else than a perfect silence, have the breakfast in your ocean front private lanai, have a swim in the cristal waters of the bay, get sun tanned, refresh in our infinity pool and then in just 5 minutes you can be in the middle of the caribbean sparkling capital of shopping and world cuisine. Not to mention the other 36 beaches and more than 200 restaurants of the island... What are you waiting for?
What makes this villa unique
Clean and 2018 renovated villa. A great property manager ready to help and suggest. A real hassle-free vacation.
Guestbook comments from the owner
For selfish reasons, we are hesitant to tell the world what we think of the Villas on Great Bay in Saint Maarten. If everyone knows how TERRIFIC it is, everyone will want to stay there! We would like it to stay just as it is.....the best kept secret in the Caribbean! We have stayed there every year for the past four years and we have already booked a seven week stay for next year! We feel so comfortable there that we really do consider it our “home away from home”! At the Villas you will find what you will NEVER find at your average resort – turquoise blue Caribbean water with an uncrowded white sand beach at your doorstep, an uncrowded swimming pool, lounge chairs galore with lots of room between them, peace and quiet, privacy, and.....best of all, a management team (Frank and Sandy) who know you by name, actually CARE about you, and consistently go out of their way to make your stay comfortable and enjoyable! The Villas have everything you need and, if you are missing something, Frank and Sandy will take care of it. The little nearby grocery store (Suki’s) is a great convenience and the prices are reasonable. It is great to have Philipsburg within walking distance but far enough away that you don't even notice the hustle and bustle when cruise ships are in port. Watching the beautiful cruise ships from your waterfront patio is amazing! Driving on the island is a breeze - don't hesitate to rent a car (we highly recommend Leisure Car Rental) and see the sights, visit the many beautiful beaches, experience the dining and shopping on the French side (St. Martin), and......don't miss a feed-up of ribs at one of the seaside BBQ's in Grand Case! Yummy and cheap!

Wonderful!

Love the location
Everything was great. Enjoy Wally of been a great person and host. Thanks for everything
Fantastic location and very nice property
Great location for walking around Phillipsburg, with beautiful views of the beach and water, but away from the noise and crowd at night for peace and quiet. Property manager is wonderful and very helpful for anything and everything. Lovely pool and small complex so it felt very private and very secure. Would definitely return.
Home Away from Home
I couldn't have asked for more. Not only was the villa completely stocked with everything that we needed, and more, but the personal service was amazing. The property manager, Wally, was there to meet us at the gate when we arrived and helped us with our luggage. He gave a detailed explanation of all the amenities of the property and was always available to answer questions about the island. The villa itself was more than I imagined. There was a welcome basket with snacks and wine and even extra beverages, if you know what I mean :) The view from the villa is absolutely amazing, breathtaking. The beach is literally 20 steps from the back deck and all the cruise attractions are within walking distance.
As for the island itself, I couldn't have been more pleased. We were there for 7 days and could have stayed 7 more. There is something to do for everyone. We hiked on Pinel Island and fed iguanas, we had our first parasailing experience, watched a reggae group perform on the beach while sipping wine. You name it and you can probably find it there.
There is no need to look any further, this is exactly what you need. We are so happy that we found this place.
Everything you need is there
Location of the villa is great, it is one step to the beach and at the same time it's just a few minutes walk to Philipsburg downtown. Supermarkets, shops, restaurants - all are close by. Our Villa had everything we needed including full equipped kitchen. There was also a welcome basket upon our arrival and a good selection of beverages, we could make use of.
The whole property was clean and well maintained. Thanks to Wally (property manager) who gives this property a soul and provided us with many useful tips and information and made us feel very comfortable.
EXCELLENT CHOICE!
We had visited St. Maarten 4x from a cruise ship and wanted a place to park for a while. After looking at hundreds of choices for days, we settled on this Villa at Great Bay. Our choice was EXCELLENT. The villa was a perfect location. 75 feet to the beach, short walk to the boardwalk and downtown, close to many restaurants. The view from this villa is UNBELIEVABLE. Each morning, we were anxious to see the view and sat on the deck each night to watch the ships leave while enjoying the view. Wally (property manager) was amazing. He is the consummate concierge and gave us great tips throughout our stay--now he is also a friend! We can't wait to go back again. You can't go wrong. Stop looking! This is the place you've been looking for. Thank you Luca an Wally!
AMAZING!!!
We have never been here, and this was the best experience we have ever had!!! The Manager Wally is the absolute best person we have ever had the pleasure of knowing. He told us the best places to go and what to see and do. It was like having our very own travel guide!! I HIGHLY recommend staying at the Villas at Great Bay! Wally manages this Villa to perfection!!
Thank you Wally for everything that you did for us!
