We spent five nights at Villa Paloma and loved it. The house is situated in the Orient Bay Village and is very private. The back of the house is surrounded by bushes and there is really no view of the pool or deck from the neighboring villas. The living room looks out over the pool deck and to the right is the well appointed modern kitchen. The only thing we had to buy were the basic groceries to make breakfast, water, coffee, and some salt. Delphine, the owner, has thought of everything a guest might need. There are plenty of beach towels to use, as well as soap for the bathrooms, and even sun screen and bug spray (beware the biting sand midges that come out at dusk after a rain on the beach.) The air conditioning worked well and the bedrooms were large and comfortable. My only complaint was the extreme firmness of the mattress, but this seems to be typical of European homes. Delphine cleaned the house for us almost every day. It was very nice to come back to an organized kitchen, made up beds, and clean bathrooms. We have stayed in many VRBO properties and have not had this degree or quality of service before. It is a huge plus and is included in the rental price. The house is about a five minute walk from the Orient Beach Village which has a couple of markets and multiple restaurants and cafes. The prices in the markets here are significantly higher than the less touristy locations. (We like the market just past the pharmacy on the road to Cul De Sac.) The beach itself is adjacent to the village. The house is farther from the clothing optional side if that is your destination, but still within walking distance. We ended up driving there most days. This house has everything a traveler might want: privacy, location, amenities, and great service and ownership. I would stay here again, and plan to do so. The drive from the airport takes about 20-30 minutes depending on traffic at the time. The fastest route is through Marigot. There are many excellent restaurants in Grand Case. We really enjoyed Oceans 82, and The Cottage.
