About this property
NEW STUNNING VILLA, VILLA SONRISA, BEACHFRONT_OCEAN VIEW
As the plane lands in St. Martin, your soul lifts. To preserve that feeling, where you stay is important. Look no further because you have found your dream vacation destination. Villa Sonrisa is a 2400 sq. ft. (250 sq. m), two-level villa located in Cupecoy. The main living space is on the first floor, both bedrooms with ensuite baths are on the second. This VERY private villa is perched on a bluff overlooking Cupecoy Beach. Enjoy an unobstructed panorama of the islands of Saba, Statia, and St. Kitts. The music of the ocean is always near and so is Cupecoy Beach which is only a few yards away requiring a less than one minute walk from your front door. The villa and beach are south facing so you are bathed in sunlight all day from sunrise to sunset. Even as your view is panoramic and unobstructed when on the terrace or balcony, you can’t be seen by anyone on the beach nor from other villas. Sonrisa is privately owned but all the amenities of The Sapphire Beach Resort are available to you including but not limited to the restaurant and bar, the Olympic-sized pool, the activities desk, car rental, and the computer room with the printer. It is truly an ideal location, chosen by the Dutch Queen of the Netherlands, Queen Beatrix, to stay in while she vacationed in St Martin and her staff stayed in the adjacent villa.
Your piece/peace of paradise away from home includes the following amenities: fully air-conditioned, and free WiFi throughout. On the main level, interior, you will find a well-appointed kitchen; the open concept living space consists of a dining area, a comfortable sectional sofa, a large flat-screen Smart TV, and a full bathroom with laundry. On the main level, exterior, there is a covered terrace with outdoor dining, a ceiling fan, and two loungers for relaxing. The private pool is perfect for floating and/or enjoying a beverage. Upstairs, interior, there are two nearly identical well decorated, air-conditioned master suites each with king-sized beds, large flat-screen Smart TV’s, and ensuite baths. Each ensuite contains a double sink, bathtub, toilet, and a stand-alone shower... The covered upstairs balcony is accessible from either bedroom, has two ceiling fans, a loveseat, and two comfortable sling back chairs.
There are two designated parking spaces only 15 paces from your front door in a covered, gated, pass-key secured parking garage. To enter the villa, you do not pass through a lobby, take an elevator, stairs or enter any other structure. You go straight from your car to your front door. This allows you to remain safe, healthy, and avoid crowded indoor public spaces. Villa Sonrisa has withstood hurricanes and pandemics.
Finally, the villa comes with two amenities that are unparalleled: a concierge and a housekeeper. The highly-rated concierge was specifically chosen for this villa by the owners who have visited St Martin for over 30 years. The concierge will make every effort to ensure that all your needs are met during your vacation. They will be available upon your arrival to orient you and to help coordinate any activities or navigate any problems that you may encounter during your stay. The villa is also cleaned and disinfected thoroughly twice weekly by a meticulous housekeeper.
If it’s fit for a Queen, it should suit you well. So, what are you waiting for? Stop dreaming and start packing. We await your arrival. Bon Jour!!!!

We had a fabulous vacation while staying at the Villa. Pictures are quite accurate. Very clean, quite location, loved watching the marine traffic and planes from our private patio. So many features you dont find at some places. Ability to regulate temperature in each bedroom and living areas, out door shower, three bathrooms, and private poll. Shopping near by and French section just a short drive away.hope to return soon!
The villa was freshly updated and spotless. The views from every room we what you dream about. The kitchen was fully equipped. The beach being only steps away, exceeded expectations. The large waves brought out the surfers which added to the wave watching.Stacey was super responsive.
This was our second time here and we love it! From the location, to the view, and the ease of access to everywhere you want to go, I really can’t think of any cons to this place. Looking forward to return again one day.
My husband and I just got back from a 10 day vacation to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary and we had an amazing trip. The villa was perfect. We loved the pool and sitting out on our balcony watching the sunset in the evening.
The property was excellent and just as described. We loved the view and the privacy. The location allowed us to stay out of the hustle of more "in town" locations while still having easy access to everything.
We would definitely recommend this place again and, if we come back, we will try to stay here again.
The listing was accurate about all amenities and the photos
were also accurate. We loved how quite the area and villa were. It was very spacious and well designed. It was perfect for 3 adults!
Amazing property and location directly on the beach!
We sometimes preferred to stay at the villa and enjoy our private pool on the balcony. We could swim right in front, only steps to the water and a beautiful small beach. We were often the only people on the beach! A few things in the unit need some maintenance but other than that, the place was very well equipped with everything you need to enjoy your time in Don't Maarten! We would definitely return again!
All in all a very nice place on the island. View from condo was magnificent with nice beach area lots to do in the area including casinos, restaurants and beautiful Mullet Bay Beach. I suggest seeing different beaches. One of our favorites being Fryers Bay Beach just a short distance away. Private pool on the patio was a great added touch for a late night/early morning swim. Would definitely stay at Sonrise 7 again
Our lodging was great. The property was clean and secure and the view of the water was amazing. Our host responded quickly to a problem with our coffee maker. The kitchen is small but functional and the beds were super comfortable. No instructions were left about how to close out at the end of our stay but we left all kitchen items clean. Loved sharing food with the sweet neighborhood cats.
We enjoyed staying at this property and are already trying to figure out when we can go back. The property is in an area near Maho/Simpson Bay Beach, restaurants, grocery store, casino, shops, etc. Stacey and John were fabulous in answering our questions and providing any information we needed. Stacey met us when we arrived to walk through the condo with us and even provided us with snacks and drinks the first day. Looking forward to returning to St. Maarten and booking this property again for our next trip!
We had a wonderful stay. Gorgeous sunsets. Concierge service was very attentive. My only complaint was the main level bathroom was not working. Then entire week we had to go upstairs which got irritating. We were not aware of the issue until day 2. Overall, will stay there again.

Hi Sharla,
We thank you for your review and we are happy you had a great experience.
The level floor shower room was working fine (the sinks, the washer, and dryer, the shower). Only the toilet was out of service. The toilet is now working fine :)
Be well
John
I booked this for my wife’s 60 birthday with friends. So it had to be perfect and this property far exceeded our expectations. The listing was better,if possible, than the pictures. It was fantastic to listen to the waves all night right outside your bedroom and the views were unbelievable and you are a 1 minute walk to the beach! We will be back! Thank you
This place is absolutely stunning. From the start everything was a perfect 10. John, owner, very responsive to emails and very accommodating which Made the booking process so easy. Stacey the concierge was a doll. And was also available any time we needed her. The place is just as pictured. Amazing views of the water. The pool was so nice to have right on the balcony esp for the kids. I loved the location of this villa. Everything was perfect.
The property was absolutely beautiful!! It was spotless. The location is convenient to restaurants, grocery store, beaches and airport. The pictures online are an 100% representation of what you will encounter. My interaction with Stacey, the concierge was responsive, timely and helpful. I booked an excursion, chef services for 3 meals and rental car per Stacey's recommendations and all were spot on. My son and I had a wonderful vacation from start to finish!!!
Our family absolutely LOVED our 4-night stay at Villa Sonrisa! It was our first time visiting St Maarten, and the accommodations couldn’t have been more perfect. Clean, spacious and comfortable, with a private pool and breathtaking views off both balconies, it was everything advertised in the listing and so much more. And the location is ideal — there are a number of terrific restaurants and markets with walking distance, and Mullet Bay Beach is less than 5 mins by car (or a 12-min walk). Your private parking spot is literally STEPS away from the front door, and our concierge, Stacey, was extremely helpful and responsive whenever we had a question. We loved every minute of our stay at Villa Sonrisa and can’t wait to come back next year!
My wife and I celebrated our 25th Anniversary in St. Maarten April 6-13. This was our second trip to the island and second time staying at a Villa at Sapphire Beach Club. We had another wonderful experience! The Villa was very comfortable, nicely furnished, and the unobstructed view has to be one of the best, if not the best, on the island. The private plunge pool is an awesome amenity and while we did spend a good deal of time exploring the island, we spent a lot of time on the private deck area of the Villa. Previously, we stayed at Villa 10 and this time Villa 7. Both are almost identical, but decorated and furnished slightly differently. To be honest, we love them both and plan to return again next year. Highly recommended location and property!
Our 2nd visit to this villa was as awesome as the first. Prompt communication with John ahead of time. Stacy met us when we arrived. This centrally located place is clean and modern with pretty much everything you could ask for. The balcony and plunge pool area are terrific, and an ideal place to just sit and take in the view and listen to the waves. The kitchen is small but has most things you will need (there were no spices other than salt and pepper, no coffee filters, oil, etc,). The beach is literally 20 steps away and the Sapphire Beach Club pool is just up the steps in front of the villa. Porto Cupecoy and its Carrefour grocery store and several restaurants are a 5 minute drive away, or walk if you prefer. Other restaurants and another Carrefour are a short walk in the other direction. Mullet Bay is walkable too. Maho and Marigot are short drives by car. The villa is very private and everything worked well. We will definitely be back.
We were moved after problems right from the start we’re put in penthouse no toilet paper or Kleenex we had to buy it. Maid service none! TV didn’t work in any room no cable no working internet was blamed on weather bad weather only 1 day we had no pool in our villa we were looking forward to as to that is what we booked VERY DISAPPOINTED

Chris,
We are really surprised about this terrible review! We are an established 8 years company managing luxury properties and we generally get 5/5 review
This is the first time we receive a 1/5 star review.
Before you arrived we upgraded you to a nicer villa (www.vrbo.com/1510486), right next door to the one you originally booked because we had an unfortunate water leak in the kitchen, then as we had people booked for this villa we upgraded you to a 300 square meter penthouse (www.vrbo.com/1462935) with a fabulous Mullet Bay view, you stayed 4 nights, that is why you did not have any service cleaning. The cable worked perfectly, Stacey, the concierge came to show you twice how it works and it worked. I understand you were disappointed moving once but it was to a nicer unit and giving 1/5 star for a lack of toilet paper is not really nice.
