Sunset in the Caribbean

We really enjoyed our stay at your lovely villa. The views of Grand Case beach and the bay from your veranda and pool deck were spectacular. Magical sunrises and sunsets! Your home provided our group of six adults and two babies plenty of space to spread out, privacy for naps and quite time, and wonderful spaces to gather, visit, eat and play games. The pool was great! The open air kitchen and living spaces were very well appointed and had everything we needed. While all the bedrooms are located on the lower level and are air conditioned, the main rooms upstairs did get a bit warm by the end of the day. The property manager, Marc, was very helpful and easy to communicate with. We loved walking into town and sampling all the wonderful restaurants and shops, swimming and walking along the beach, and the locals were so friendly and welcoming!! It's a good hike back up the hill to the villa, but more fun when you have a cocktail or ice cream in hand. It was a wonderful place for our family.

It was the perfect place and trip for us. Great location and superb views. If there is one thing i could ask for more would be our door ceiling fans. there wasn't much of a breeze during the time of the year we were down there. That aside our group enjoyed every minute of it.

This was our first visit to St. Martin and we were so thankful we chose this property for our stay! The house is beautiful and well-maintained, the view spectacular and after making our way around the whole island, we decided that this property's location is the best. We didn't have enough nights to try all of the fabulous restaurants right down the hill in Grand-Case. A previous guest mentioned roosters crowing. We did hear them throughout the days, but they were so far off in the distance it was enjoyable and not at all bothersome, even as we sat out on the balcony or deck. Marc was delightful to work with and was willing to go above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our stay - even making a special trip up to bring us a guitar to use during our visit - thanks Marc! We were a bit disappointed at first when we learned that all of the TV channels at the villa were French (and we are not)....but that turned out to be a nice thing. We had not taken the manager(s) up on their offer to meet us at the airport and lead us to the villa. You might want to consider their offer - if you haven't been to St. Martin before, don't speak French or will be arriving after dark. However, if you don't, the island is small enough that you won't get TOO lost. :-) We hope to return some day and stay at the villa again!

We had a great time staying in Grand Case. Marc was our contact for the property and he was very nice and accommodating. There are a few things you should know if you are renting here. The view is incredible. The home is atop a hillside overlooking Grand Case. A vehicle is a must due to the steep hills to get to the house. There are four bedrooms but they are split up with two on one side, and two on the other. There is a separate staircase to each two bedroom area so don't expect to have parents in one bedroom and kids in the other three.

The internet connection is not great. We were able to stream netflix a few times, but nothing else would work (amazon prime, itunes, etc...) It was impossible for me to do any work remotely as well which was probably a good thing for me, but there were some things that I had to get done and it was very frustrating to be disconnected constantly. There is cable tv, but everything is in French. All of the plugs were European 220v which was also challenging at times. I say these things not to scare anyone away, but it would be helpful to know when packing.

The main living area has roll up doors that really brought the outside in. The deck is incredible. As stated in another review, there were some bugs–– little ones that would get to any food left out and others that would bite us at night. It wasn't a big deal for us and well worth it to spend time in a tropical paradise.

I would highly recommend this home and island.

We could not have been happier with the villa. From the moment we arrived, we loved everything about it. It was spacious, 2 bedrooms on each side (total of 4 bedrooms), which is nice because you could not hear from one side to another. I loved the doors at the end of the night that keep out the light, so you can sleep in if you want. But the views were gorgeous, and the owners and property manager were so nice. The layout is perfect. We loved the huge patio, and then there was the pool that was superb. We even had an iguana on the patio. Loved that! I don't think there was a better location. You are so close to Grand Case; you don't even realize that. And even though you are on a cliff, we walked down one night, and I was so glad we did. We saw the fabulous Fat Tuesday parade, and we had a terrific french dinner and walked back.

The villa is laid out so nice, has nice furniture and decoration, and the views are beautiful! We could not have picked a better location and villa. Next time we visit St. Maarten, we will be back. We absolutely loved it!!!
