The island of St Maarten is well known for its vibrant nightlife, stunning white-sand beaches and friendly atmosphere.

Sit with a cool glass of wine while lounging on one of the many sun chairs on the ample wooden deck. If the temperature is too hot, go for a cool swim in the pool overlooking the caribbean sea. The terrace is perfect for lazy afternoons. As added amenities, this villa includes Wi-Fi access, TV in each room and the services of a housekeeper.

Inside, the living room features tasteful modern furnishings done in white tones and access to the outdoors. If you’d like a home-cooked meal, the kitchen includes stainless steel appliances, including a dishwasher, coffee maker and ice machine.

Beautiful view and great location.. had some issues

We really liked location because we are a family of plane spotters and enjoyed proximity to airport, Maho beach, and other good plane spotting spots (like nearby Dinghy’s covered balcony). The views of the bay were gorgeous to wake up to and enjoy in the evenings. We liked having daily visits from iguanas and gekkos on the cliff. As other reviewers have mentioned, some aspects of the place were a bit run down and I get the wear and tear that these rental island homes go through. For me that’s where I felt I didn’t get the value paid ($$$) for. Knives were dirty. We intentionally did not use kitchen stuff much though as I didn’t want to deal with ants (which I get can be normal). Also living room TV did not work at all (Stacey said there had been a power outage so that’s why it wasn’t working - though all other tvs and appliances were in good working order). So our evenings were mostly spent in our respective bedrooms instead of relaxing together in the living room. The main sliding door to veranda did not lock so the only way to feel secure was to close the exterior metal shade. Overall we enjoyed our stay in St Maarten though.

Booked this Villa for our stay in St. Marteen, St. Martin. We thought it was a great price for 7 days. From the pics it looked fantastic also. A few things about the island. If you are using an American phone, texts don't always go through. To and from your phone. Even emails are sketchy. Contact with the management was spotty at best. Upon arriving the landscaping was unkempt, non working security gates, this will be important later. We also found that doors were also unable to be locked. After the agent left we found stained towels, ants in everything. The fit and finish was not as good as it looked in pics. Sliding doors were difficult to move and didn't lock. Showers looked dirty and the power kept throwing breakers when using the microwave. We were supposed to get 2 days of housekeeping service got one after 4 days and had to call about that. Then they showed with no warning, washed the towels, swept and mopped the living room only, and did a few knives and forks, and took out the garbage. Neither bathroom was cleaned. On day 3 two men appeared from nowhere and stood at the back yard windows watching my wife in the nude getting dressed until she spotted them. They calmly walked away smiling as she screamed. They just walked on the property and stood at the glass doors and watched her shower. Owners had no idea who they were or why they were.. The view was the best thing about the villa. It was breath taking.

This is probably the worst kept property I have stayed in. The house has a amazing view. That misguided be to only good thing I can say about it. The house is weathered. There is carpenters ants. The house had a surface clean at nest. The sheets was not clean. The countertops are misusing on the side. The mattress is stained. The bathroom is missing tile and ants comes thru the cracks.We had to wash the sheets but the washer was in French so difficultly getting completely clean. The pool is not really a pool it is an oversized bathtub. The deck needs to be restrained and fixed. It is very hazardous. The outside furniture on the main deck is weathered and not kept. There was holes in the screens. The lights go out which is not fault of the property but it would have been nice to know so that pre-planning could have been sought. The cleaning lady was not very nice. The person that greets you gave the wrong address and did not respond to text. The booking agent was semi aware of issues. The concierge was properly the only one that followed thru and was helpful for car booking, ferry’s information. But did not book just the numbers to call. I will not suggest to stay here if you have a issue with cleanliness. This was probably mediocre at best. I would suggest to book a resort instead. Very disappointed.

Horrible

The property was not as pictured - stayed less than 24 hours - I was with my 11 yr. twins - John refused to provide a different place - my kids were crying because we did not feel safe. we slept together in 1 bed. The house is on a dirt lot - not one flower - John Property Manager refused a refund - said if i leave a nice review he will refund 2 days. pictures were changed when i called for a new place - pool was dirty and being filled and not the pool in the pictures - bathroom had peeling paint - front door is steel - back doors had no lock and had to be secured with the hurricane shutters - John said you should have taken travel insurance - he refused to allow me to contact owner - vrbo could not contact owner - we left and stayed at Simpson Bay Resort and Marina which was lovely.

Wonderful stay in Sint Maarten

This two-bedroom, two-bath home sits on a low cliff with spectacular views of Simpson Bay from the spacious back decks (2) and equally beautiful ocean views from the front deck. Accenting the property is a small swimming pool perfect for cooling off after a day in the sun. The house is located on a quiet street lined with private residences. It's not far from the airport making it convenient to visit the island's many tourist destinations. We rented a car which allowed us the freedom to venture out on our own, but we also used Sunita Taxi Service (ask for Rog) when we didn't want to deal with the congested island parking. The birds and iguanas were an added treat! The only criticism we have is that we wish the property manager had taken more time to explain the appliances (washer & dryer, cooktop, the capacity of the water heater, and how to sign into the television). On the other hand, John, the owner, went out of his way to communicate with us prior to our arrival. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at The Cliff House and would definitely stay there again.

Just Enough

Been staying on the island for years. This property was nice. A couple things need to be addressed. There was a sewage smell that came the first day that was almost unbearable but went away before I contacted the owner. (However this can happen on the island sometimes in some areas, still should not happen) There was an ant problem that needs to be corrected. Small sugar ants and can happen at an island beach house but unacceptable to pay to rent. I feel like the house is almost there but not quite yet and not worth what I paid for the house. The owner is super attentive and would I'm sure help if needed but I didn't want to deal with it on vacation. Complaints of poor hot water are nonsense. It's fine. A couple more steps to address these things and I would come back.

Adequate

Pros: 1. Great Views 2. Reasonably well furnished inside & outside 3. Privacy is great 4. Host is very responsive and courteous. 5. Ait conditioning is awesome in every room Cons: 1. Very tired on the outside. Needs some aesthetic work 2. Hot water is a big issue. Needed to master the art of taking a shower in 3 minutes or less. then wait 20 minutes for next person to take a shower. If you don't mind cold showers, then it should not be an issue. 4. Airport noise can be intolerable. You can hear planes land and take off as if you are standing on the tarmac. Nature of location. .nothing they can do about it. 5. Kitchen cutlery and glasses can use a refresh. Certain things are unavoidable and inherent to the location. Other things can be fixed, and its simply bad management. If you are on a tight budget, its acceptable. But this is no luxury stay.
