Crème de la Crème: Stunning views of Orient Bay! Grand piano. Kids welcome!

Welcome to villa Crème de la Crème! Enjoy wrap-around stunning ocean views. Bask in privacy and unparalleled beauty, while overlooking the long beautiful beach which is the envy of the whole island - Orient Bay. The peacefulness and privacy by the deck and pool are simply perfect.

The views to the west, to the north, and to the east are all different, and are all simply breathtaking. The sunrise over that ocean, morning after morning, is a gift to the early riser. Morning coffee never tasted so good anywhere else. The different kinds of sunrises, some misty, some golden, some with a brief gentle rainfall, some with mysterious low-lying clouds, well - it feels like every sunrise is different, each one a masterpiece! Watching sunrise reflected upon those 30 miles of ocean is a gentle two-coffee event, and is like beholding the slow-motion opening of a magnificent flower.

At the ocean, a 4-minute drive away, three different beachside resorts welcome you to enjoy their daytime hospitality along the mile and a half of white sand. You can swim and lounge all day by the ocean, or perhaps rent jet skis, sail a catamaran, kite ski, wind surf, play beach tennis, and the list goes on. Close to the ocean, seven outdoor restaurants, including French, Italian, Seafood and Thai, beckon you to explore their delicious and unique creations.

Upon arrival, you are greeted by our friendly staff, who keep the villa totally clean and attractive. Our hostess, Natesha is truly the 5th Star in our reviews. We get a lot of compliments because our kitchen and our villa have literally everything you need. Parking is for three cars.

Adult bedrooms are separated for extra privacy. Two or three couples travelling together enjoy the sense of not feeling "on top of one another". For example, the "Studio" bedroom, with a Queen bed, has a separate entrance, and a small romantic porch overlooking........paradise!

All three adult bedrooms have ensuite full bathrooms. Kid's bedroom is upstairs, with a bunk bed. The bunk bed will sleep two children, but is large enough to sleep two adults, instead. All bedrooms feature 1000-thread count Egyptian cotton linens, bamboo pillows, individual A.C., phone chargers, and electrical outlets for both U.S. and French appliances. You will be relieved that we have all the adaptors, transformers and phone chargers you need.

We provide all the "classic" board games. TV & Stereo are in the living room, and WIFI throughout. TV has 1500 channels, including Netflix. We also offer the use of a wonderful Samick baby grand piano. Life jackets, water wings, and noodles are provided for swimming fun. Executive-style Thermos jars and Lunch Containers keep your drinks and snacks fresh and cold as you drive around or stay on the beach. This is a gated property within a gated community, so your family is secure. With 2 ramps on the property, and 3 grab bars on the main floor, Crème de la Crème is partly accessible.

Perfect location and responsive staff

Creme de la Creme is a beautiful villa looking down on Orient Bay. The villa is well appointed and very comfortable. The location was perfect for our daily jaunts around the island. There is a good information binder in the villa and the owner provides a very useful welcome email which is great to keep on your phone for reference. The couple of small issues we had were handled quickly and efficiently by the house manager. We highly recommend!

Great Location - Oasis on a Hill Overlooking Ocean

We really enjoyed this location. It was so easy to do 5 minute drive to Orient Beach, which is the best beach location on the island. It was very quiet on the hill with stunning views, which were made easy to enjoy by the large outside patios. Loved that a good portion of the patio space was covered so you could avoid direct sun but enjoy being outside. Pool was very nice. Our daughters enjoyed using the grand piano. It was great to fill the inside with this music while making dinner. Kitchen was well equipped. Bathrooms were all very updated and spacious. Appreciated the generous welcome basket.Host was very conscientious to make sure we were doing well in the property and had what we needed, including calls in advance of our arrival.We have vacationed in many properties in SXM. We all agreed that this is the one we would go back to.

Fantastic Orient Bay villa!

This villa was perfect for us - we stayed 6 days. Very private with no other surrounding homes above this residence. Great proximity to Orient Bay (beaches, restaurants, village, shopping). Amazing views of Orient Bay and surrounding mountains, Saint Barthelemy, sunrises, Pinel & Tintamarre islands. Clean & modern interior with upgraded bathrooms. Nice pool. Well stocked kitchen. All of the needed starter items. Great communication with the host. We hope to return!

Incredible home, location, and host

There is a reason this home has consistent 5 star reviews and so many great things that past guests have to say. Most importantly the owner has a real sense of what it means to get away with friends and family in beautiful Saint Martin. From the moment we booked Matt (owner) was engaged with info, suggestions, and answers to any questions that we had. In other reviews you will read and Natesha, the property manager, and everyone is absolutely right. Natesha had everything ready and met us when we arrived. There was an amazing welcome basket with many items as well as a fridge stocked with drinks and waters. No need to rush out to the grocery and it was such a a nice touch to have this upon arrival. Our stay was perfect. Pool on hot days, great breezes and views of Orient Bay, and a wonderful kitchen, grill, and dining area both inside and out. Location was excellent as well. Super U just a few minutes drive and many great restaurants just down at Orient Village. There are many options in Saint Martin/Sint Maarten and often travelers really rely on the content in reviews such as this one. For a family of 4 with 2 teenagers as well as 2 other adults I can tell you that Creme de la Creme is absolutely a great choice.

Our stay @ Creme de la creme, Orient Bay St Martin

My family gathered for a vacation at Matt's place overlooking Orient Bay. The house was beautiful and the layout worked well for us - 3 couples and two children. We loved the location - high above the town with beautiful views but an easy drive to the beach and lots of nice restaurants. The house is in a very quiet neighborhood, the beach was perfect. We would recommend staying here again.

Wonderful stay at this gem of a property!

We just returned a few days ago from our lovely vacation in St. Martin. Matt’s property was perfect for our group! The views are outstanding and there was lots of room for everyone. The welcome basket was much appreciated and Matt and Natesha were great to deal with. Matt provided us with lots of information about the island before we arrived, including restaurant recommendations, store hours and day trip recommendations. Highly recommend the villa for its beautiful location and would not hesitate to book it again. Thanks Matt and Natesha!

Authentic experience with beautiful view

We loved our stay at Matt’s! If you want a big cold corporate McMansion, then this isn’t for you. This is Matt’s vacation home and isn’t a carbon copy of anything else around. It’s lovely. The view was better, and the pool bigger, than the pictures would suggest. It was quiet and very private - despite being relatively close to neighbours, it’s higher up so you really wouldn’t know they were there. I have never been to a rental that was better appointed than this. Kitchen incredibly well stocked, including a very generous basket of goodies for us on our arrival. There were great toys for our toddler to play with! Linens were of a lovely quality! Loads of towels! When any issue arose, which they will on a small Caribbean island, they were addressed very promptly, any day of the week. We hope to return to Matt’s sometime soon.

Excellent views

Matt's property was even more beautiful in person. The location is at the top of a hill which can be difficult when driving a large minivan, but the views and seclusion was worth it. He had everything you could think of ready and waiting for us. And the location is very close (5 minute drive) to many restaurants and beach area. I would definitely recommend this place and would stay again myself. My friends and I had a wonderful time!

Amazing Stay!

We had an amazing time at Creme de la Creme villa! This is one of the prettiest, best equipped properties we’ve ever stayed at and the views are incredible! The house worked great for our family group of two couples, one single adult and a child and we never felt crowded. The outdoor spaces are amazing We also liked that the main part of the house and the studio apartment could be accessed without going up or down stairs as some of the folks in our group were older and appreciated not having to go up and down stairs constantly. The house was immaculate and Natesha , the property manager, met us at the house and showed us around and was super helpful and friendly (and the gift basket was AMAZING). The bedrooms are large, the kitchen is well stocked with everything you need to cook, and the bunk room had lots of toys for our kid to play with. Beds were firm but comfortable and we all slept very well (AC in each room and main living room was very nice/worked well). The driveway is very steep to get up to the house and we were glad we had an SUV with all wheel drive and with a backup camera as we found it easier to backdown the driveway to a point that was wider and than turn-around as getting in and out of the gate with a large vehicle was very tight. But the views more than made up for the driveway and we got used to it after a few days. Overall the house is a 5 star with a million dollar view, great space for a family, incredibly well-stocked, super clean, and super hosts!

Carribbevn vacation

This home is beautiful and has been well cared for. It was just the two of us but this would be ideal for a family or multiple couples as it’s a four bedroom. A lot of outside living and pool. High on the hill so the breeze is nice which helps with mosquitos. The closer to the beach I cannot sit outside without getting eaten alive but here we spent a lot of time outside. Less than five minute drive to cross the road to orient beach and the village. The owner and property manager were in constant contact with us throughout our stay to see if we needed anything. There was a awesome welcome basket and items in the refrigerator for us when we arrived of which made our day with wine (which was fantastic) coffee fruits snacks and even beer in the frig! Would highly recommend this hime to any and all

The Villa's name says it all......

Creme del a Creme is truly the perfect name for this villa. Everything is top notch beginning with the communications with the owner, check in process, our 10 day stay, and check out. The Villa is the perfect size for three couples and a single and the location/views cannot be beat. The villa is very well stocked and very clean. We had a couple of short power outages....but hey, you are on St. Martin and that is to be expected. We have been coming the Sint Maarten/St. Martin for over 20 years and this is one of the very best experiences we have had and we will definitely be coming back. Matt and Nateshia are the best. P.S....If you are a piano player.....the baby grand is the icing on the cake.....we had a few very nice sing alongs during our stay.

An excellent property for a family retreat

We chose Orient Bay for the second week of our Saint Martin trip to experience the French side of the island and we were very impressed with our stay at Matt's property! Starting with the excellent communication from both Matt, the property owner and Natesha, the property manager, through the easy check-in process, and all throughout our stay, we felt at-home. The home is accessed via very steep street/driveway which was quite the workout to get up and down, but once into the property, you see the benefit of that climb as the view is amazing. Being at the top of the mountain also provides a high level of privacy and peacefulness (except for those tree annoying frogs!!!). The home is cozy, but not too tight for the six in our party. With two bedrooms on each floor, there is a good choice of sleeping options and the separation was actually welcoming on this, our second week of vacation. Matt and/or Natesha must have some serious OCD as they had every possible convenience we could need (and many more)...all labeled, sorted, and stored. It was very nice to not worry about the voltage difference and to have all the little kitchen items that you can't bring yourself. There is no dining table in the home, but there is a beautiful dining area on the patio overlooking Orient Bay which is way more satisfying than eating inside. WiFi and cell reception were excellent for those who have to work and or have teenagers on board. The outdoor patios were magical...some covered for reading (or napping), and others in the sun for tanning or star gazing. The pool is on the smaller side, but worked well for our party of 6. The water temperature was perfect (low 80s F) and surrounding by beautiful stonework and landscaping. Oh, did I mention the view of Orient Bay? Spectacular!!! The property's location is great for the above mentioned privacy and serenity, but I highly recommend renting a vehicle as just to get to the beach as it was a 20 minute walk down and a 40 minute walk up that hill. With a car it was 10 minutes door to beach! You also need a vehicle for enjoying the area's shops and restaurants. Nothing is more than a 15 minute car ride away though which was nice to be able to sample many of the excellent French (and Italian) venues. All in all, we had a great time and definitely plan on returning!!!

Family fun in the sun

What a beautiful villa!!! The view, the ocean breezes and the baby grand piano all made our family vacation perfectly unforgettable!!!!We had so much fun just hanging out by the pool, playing games and cooking meals together. The villa is close to some beautiful beaches and fun activities. We kayaked to Pinel Island, snorkelled and kite boarded at Orient Bay.Matt was a very helpful and welcoming host. He couldn’t do enough for us, checked in with us a couple of times to make sure we had everything we needed and to recommend some good restaurants and places to go. It was all amazing!!!I would recommend Matt’s villa to anyone who wants a “cottage-like” holiday in the Caribbean. Thanks Matt and team for a wonderful family holiday! Caroline Sumi

Beautiful View of Orient Bay

Crème de la Crème is one of our favorite places to stay. It sits high up the mountain side overlooking Orient Bay. We are three couples who each have their own bedroom and shower space. The property has a large kitchen and a very nice outdoor eating space and a sitting area for your morning coffee. We appreciate the pool after a day on the beach where the views are breathtaking. The owner and property manager provide excellent communication and quickly address any issues that may arise. We will definitely rent this property again!!

Great stay - million dollar view

We stayed at Creme de la Creme for two weeks. The house was well outfitted with everything we needed. Thick, luxurious bath and beach towels. Plenty of dishes and cookware for eating in. Private pool with a large deck - lots of room for everyone to spread out. The welcome basket and beverages upon our arrival were a treat. The upper deck has a table that easily accommodates 8 people and there is also a very comfortable seating area. This is all covered so you can avoid the sun or the rain and still stay outside. The driveway seems a bit steep at first, but we got used to it very quickly. It's well lit with solar lights. The iguanas up in the rocks alongside the house were entertaining. Both the owner and property manager were very responsive to any of our questions, frequently getting back to us within an hour. All in all, plenty of room with a great location. The view was awesome - we could see all of Orient Bay as well as St Bart's. We will be back.

Really a very nice home and pleasurable stay

I think there are three things that make up a heart stay. Home, Host, and management (cleaning). For so three, it was very good or excellent. Home: a little bit of a challenge in location, but once you get past that, you get the reward for your effort. The view is amazing. A million dollar view of ever there was one. There is an extra room (almost a second house) attached to the property. It had some damp smell to it at first, but it aired out and became a peaceful place with its own shower and toilet away from the kids when needing a little quiet. Pool is small but deep and enough to splash around in with three or four people and have some fun when not at the beach. The beach is as everyone else said, 5 minutes away. And it is really a good one. We have traveled to both sides of the island and tried many of the beaches and Orient beach has the best parking, easiest access and amenities, and best organized for a tourist’s good time. Plenty of great (but expensive) restaurants. But as you are on vacation, just enjoy yourself. We also enjoyed very few insects (only a few mosquitoes) outside, the iguanas were shocking at first but harmless and interesting, and were surprised to see a shy monkey on the deck of the pool one morning. Soon disappeared but we got a picture for our photo album. Host: Matt was very communicative. He tried hard to make it stay comfortable and enjoyable. He very well succeeded too. His extra effort really sets him at the top of hosts we’ve met over the years. he’s a very reasonable and honest person from our experience. Management: House was spotless. Most appliances were in perfect working order and well maintained. Bring your own shampoo though. Clearly not a reason to not to go to the house, but just be aware you’ll need it. Grocery stores are near by (closed on Sundays though) and you can get most of the things you forgot to bring there. There is no self check in, so you’ll need to meet up with the management team for check in and out. Very flexible but prompt and on time. If or when we go back to the island, surely we’ll become a repeat customer.

Sobre o anfitrião

Anfitrião: Matt Pines

Imagem do perfil do anfitrião
With three children all grown up and doing well, we chose to buy a luxury villa on our favorite Island, Saint Martin, in 2019. We were lucky enough to find a place with amazing and breathtaking views of Orient Bay.

Sailing is a major passion in this family, and here in Toronto, a Catalina 36 serves as our summer home. Tennis is another hobby we can't live without. Orient Bay offers us both sailing and tennis. We can rent a Hobie Cat any afternoon at the beach, from Emmanuel at SXM Wind Adventures. We can even sail to Pinel Island, which is a fabulous place to swim, imbibe drinks, and have seafood! In the mornings, we can play tennis, just seven minutes away at the American Tennis Academy: My kids have profited from great coaching with tennis pro Oliver Becaud. So this Island offers great weather, lovely people, and supports our sports addictions.

My eldest child is a 34 year-old, accomplished opera singer - a brilliant coloratura soprano, currently living in Berlin. My middle child is 27 years old, and is a property manager, in charge of 9 apartment buildings. My son is 25, and holds a bachelors degree from the Berkeley School of Music, as well as a bachelors degree from McGill University, major in international relations. He currently works for Crisis Group International, based in Brussels.

For many years, we have operated a luxury rental cottage in Ontario, known as "Sandy Shores Cottage", near Haliburton. We have 100 feet of waterfront on Eagle Lake, a
3-hour drive from Toronto. My staff and I have worked hard, for 25 years, to deliver a fabulous and well-equipped lakeside vacation to our customers.

We already had 22 years of vacation rental management, when we started Crème de la Crème. We are extremely lucky to have Natesha Wolfe and Marcellus Maturin as property manager and builder/fixer. The wonderful experience we offer would not be possible with them.

Por que o anfitrião escolheu essa propriedade

Villa Crème de la Crème is situated absolutely perfectly. It overlooks 50 or 75 nearby villas, but no villa overlooks us! Our place is perfectly private, and you can wear what you wish, or nothing at all, and it is nobody's business! Our guests treasure that freedom and privacy!

The views to the west, to the north, and to the east are all different, and all simply breathtaking. The sunrise over that ocean, morning after morning, is a gift to the early riser. Morning coffee never tasted so good anywhere else. The different kinds of sunrises, some misty, some golden, some with a brief gentle rainfall, some with mysterious low-lying clouds, well - it feels like every sunrise is different, each one a masterpiece!

Our driving time to the beach is four minutes, but we usually walk. It is 20 minutes to the beach on foot, and maybe a tad more coming back. The views are wonderful the whole way - tall palm trees, magnificent houses, 30 miles of ocean!

Saint Martin, the French side, is a tiny jewel in the Caribbean. The weather is perfect - not too hot. The social climate is very friendly, and we particularly relish seeing contrasting cultures working together, side by side, in harmony. The restaurants are the best anywhere, and the service is warmly welcoming and cheerful. The Island is small, which is great: you can drive around the whole place in an hour. You will adore all the little towns you visit, each one with its own flavour. The mountains are so gorgeous and dramatic, everywhere you drive. And - there are 37 beaches you can drive to on the Island!

Saint Martin offers sailing, tennis, volleyball, kite-skiing, zip-lining, live music, hiking, dancing, astoundingly good dining, and some of the nicest and finest people you will ever know.
