Overview
2BR, 2 full baths, 1/2 bath, Oceanfront Rental. St. Maarten, sleeps 6
This two bedroom, two and a half bath villa is situated right on Great Bay Beach in a small complex of twelve individual villas with a lovely beach front swimming pool and breath-taking ocean views. This gated complex with on-site management is the perfect place to relax around the pool or to just lounge on your private lanai or elevated deck overlooking our beautiful beach. It is remodeled inside and out with new furniture and king beds.
The location is ideal because it is on the opposite side of Great Bay from the bustling Philipsburg Cruise Port, so you can enjoy the wonderful views of the cruise ships' comings and goings without the crowds! There are as many as six cruise ships in port at one time and watching them is a favorite past-time of just about everyone who stays at our complex.
There are endless activities available in Saint Maarten/Saint Martin and the surrounding islands if you are interested in something other than vegging out on our gorgeous beach or beach side pool and patio
Recently remodeled: Tastefully decorated with all new beds and bedding (600 thread count silky sheets!), sleeper sofa and living room furniture. All 3 bathrooms were entirely remodeled with the 2 private upstairs bedroom baths each receiving new round showers and rain showerheads with handheld shower wands. A new viewing deck is available through patio doors from the ocean side bedroom which overlooks the beach, ocean, and cruise ship dock. The entire kitchen was remodeled including a new stove, full sized microwave, dishwasher, plenty of cabinet space, and granite tile. We repainted the entire interor and fully stocked with dinner ware, cooking supplies, spices, blender, and bar accessories. There are even little drink umbrellas waiting just for you!
Short walk to everything: There is a local convenience store a half block away for the last minute necessities. Your favorite restaurants, shops, piers, and people watching is just a short 5-10 minute walk down the beach or boardwalk. This is one of the best locations on the island as you can have peace and quiet when you want it or walk just a few minutes to all the shopping, restaurants, and beach activiity your heart would ever desire.
About Doug
This is a picture of my wife, myself and our two sons. We live in Topeka, KS and love going to warm beach weather. We love all the activities, shopping, and wonderful food on the island. We have been going to St. Maarten for almost 20 years and finally decided that this was the perfect location to keep coming back to. It is the perfect location as the access to the beach and town cannot be beaten. Also, you are a short walk or drive away from grocery stores, restaurants, and shopping.
Doug purchased this villa in 2010
Why Doug chose St Maarten
We discovered St. Maarten 20 years ago and this villa almost 8 years ago. We know you will enjoy this beautiful location with great views of the ocean and a short convenient walk to shopping, beach activities, restaurants, and ice cream shops! We're proud of our vacation property and know that you will want to keep coming back.
Guestbook comments from the owner
My Wife, my son and myself had a wonderful time at your villa. It was clean, comfortable and full of supplies. The location was great and we felt very safe.
Everything we needed was in the kitchen. The TV and wireless were nice. The bathrooms were beautiful. Frank and Sandy, your onsite managers, were also very helpful and kind.
I can't think of any improvements we would suggest.
We would definitely recommend your villa to our friends and family. Once we travel a bit more and explore the world I'm sure we'll realize that your villa will be one of the best and come again.

Great Stay at Villa #2 - Aug 2017
Doug & Becky
Everything was Great! Loved the Villa. It's Location is perfect. The shade is very nice. The Property landscaping is very well kept and relaxing. Villa #2 felt like home. Everything we needed was there and like others we left things to contribute to those who visit. Doug, as you said, Wally was so helpful. He would come visit every morning as Sharon & I were having coffee near the pool as well as check in with us in the afternoons. He gave us extra insight into Grand Case. We had heard about several places to eat and he told us to ask for people he knew. We are big fans of Talk of the Town, Best of the LoLo's. Wally now knows about Ocean 82. It is one of the best meals we've ever had. Your group of owners are lucky to have someone who wants to please the visitors. We spent our days between Marigot and Grand Case shopping and eating after beach trips. Afternoons in the pool or on the beach before either cooking in or going out. Found fresh fish in the Marigot market on Saturday and Wednesday. Great selection. Baie Rouge, Friars and Grand Case beaches were very calm. Weather was great, only one rainy day till the early afternoon. I could go on & on & on.. I hope Irma stays away.
We hope to get back soon. We will reach out to you first for our next stay.
Thanks
WOW!!
My husband, daughter and I have had the privilege of spending 2 amazing weeks in St. Maarten at The Villas on Great Bay, and we cannot have been more thrilled!! Upon arriving we were met by Wally, the property manager, who took us on a quick tour of the place/grounds and within minutes we were settled. The condo was fantastic, kitchen was fully stocked with everything you could possibly need, the beds were so comfy, and the view - it is postcard perfect!
Everyone we encountered, whether it was locals or other renters couldn't have been friendlier. The island itself is beautiful, 2 weeks wasn't long enough!
We have been VRBO renters for 20+ years, and we can honestly say that we have never dealt with 2 more amazing people than we have with Doug and Wally. Doug, thank you so much for your compassion and understanding with everything that has transpired prior to us finally getting there, and Wally you went above and beyond any property manager we have ever dealt with.
Thank you so much Doug and Becky for opening up your home in paradise to us, we absolutely will be back in the future!!
Sincerely
The Olson's
Great Condo. Beautiful location
All the comforts of home! The condo was great and so was Wally. They supplied plenty of towels for the beach and home. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. Quiet location, except for the roosters?) The grounds were beautiful and very clean and secure. There was always a spot out front to park the car. We can't wait to come back!
Awesome!
This is a wonderful villa furnished with everything you need (Villa #2). The view from the villa of the beautiful Caribbean waters and beach are unbeatable. The location is perfect for walking to restaurants and shopping. Doug, the owner, provided lots of good information before our trip and was very prompt and helpful when we made our reservations . Wally, the property manager, was always available for questions or assistance. My husband enjoyed scuba diving five days with the Scuba Fun Center. We also enjoyed driving around the island and visiting other beaches for snorkeling, as well as, visiting Grand Case for great French dining.
Wonderful property
Great views, great location!
Wonderful property right on the beach at Great Bay
This is our second time of visiting the Villas on great bay and it has got even better. The villa has everything you need for a truly wonderful stay. It is very clean and comfortable , especially the bedrooms . Doug has gone out of his way to ensure that our stay would be special. He has had excellent communications with us to ensure we would have everything we need.
The position is great in that it is at the quiet end of the bay and yet it only takes twenty minutes to walk to the other end . Plenty of bars, restaurants to choose from. Don't forget to walk down Back street , more local.
It is certainly worth the walk to go to Chesterfields for lunch or dinner, a wonderful setting. If you want a Catamaran trip I suggest you contact Eagle tours, the girls there are very helpful.
