Wonderful

The accommodations were outstanding and just as described. VRBO pricing and their endless list of fees always leaves something to be desired… but property owners have little choice so not going to blame them

This unit Appeared to be newly renovated. Everything about it was perfect and beautifully decorated. Location of private parking space to the elevator was also so convenient. Will go again soon as possible.

Not what we expected
The furnishings are a bit dated. The comforter on the king bed was dingy and did not seem clean. The king bed was so uncomfortable that my husband and I woke up each morning in agony. My 9yo even commented on how hard it was. We found a live roach in the master bedroom crawling on the wall We found a dirty sock in the laundry room and an old kitchen towel in the chair in the living room.
Great view of the pool and the beach from the balcony and inside. Nicely put together condo. ATTENTION PROPERTY MANAGERS: 6 people can stay, so 6 fobs should be made available. Very cumbersome for 6 people to only have 4 fobs. SUGGESTION: Remove the bulky armoire in the main room to open up the floor to ceiling window behind and just put in a smaller dresser type thing or place the TV directly on the wall. SUGGESTION/HOUSEKEEPING: The armoire, in the master bedroom, has broken drawers, which makes use very difficult. It's a bulky piece. We suggest getting a regular dresser so it opens the space more. HOUSEKEEPING: The mattress needs to be replaced. HOUSEKEEPING: Please level off the stove. It leans to the back, which makes things hard to cook because all the food rolls to the back of the pan. HOUSEKEEPING: Upon arrival, the master bedroom floor was very sandy. Please have cleaners do double checks. Everything else was lovely and we would absolutely come back and stay. Bright and cheery in all rooms facing the patios which wrapped from bedroom to main room to master. Thank you for maintaining a lovely home at a reasonable price. Best Wishes

Hello!
Thank you for your review! We are glad you enjoyed the vacation home. We will be sure to pass your feedback along to our property manager for review. Have a great day!
Excellent Room, Love the resort, Best Location on Beach
This resort is really nice! Room layout was perfect for our family of 6. Nicely furnished. Great spot for family and friends. It's next to the state park and at least the week we went it did not feel overly crowded. Having the elevator open directly into your rooms is strange at first, especially when people are entering the exiting the elevator too, but you get used to it. Your key card ONLY allows you to your elevator button. Having an exterior door in the back bedroom was also a little strange, so I would definitely not put kids that would sneak out in that room. You use the elevator to enter and exit the room. Felt really safe here and will most definitely return to this resort. The bar at the beach served great drinks and lunches.

Spectacular views!!
This was our second year staying in the St. Maarten building. The views from this condo are spectacular! Our time here was fantastic and we will definitely be staying here again. The only thing I would suggest would be doing some updates to this condo. While majority of it is wonderful, it could stand some to be upgraded a bit.
