Property is in a safe quiet part of the island and still walking distance to all the Maho activity and nearby beaches. The balcony is private and has phenomenal views of the sunset. At night you can fall asleep to the sound of the ocean outside. Best sleep I've had in ages.The interior is light, clean and comfortable.Will definitely stay here again!

A gracious host and the perfect little place with the best view facing the sunset. Located in a nice quiet neighborhood. Studio has all the essentials. Would stay again.
Very nice area to stay, and safe to walk around at night with security near by. The condo balcony had a beautiful view of ocean and planes flying into airport. Will stay again. Thank you Isabel

We love how well connected the place was, shopping, beaches. The host was very present via text. The place was charming with a beautiful balcony to have dinner outside and listen to the waves. It could have a better set kitchen (we do cook!) But we worked things out. Overall a very positive experience.

BASIC amenities Our 2 week stay
Cozy, great location; like photos. There are issues:
-Patio door/main entrance doesn't lock. The door is off it's frame
-Safe doesn't work. Owner said that the previous tenant broke it
-Washing machine doesn't work. Owner told us this 2 days before we left home. She did offer to do our laundry, we declined
-Kitchen utensils are pitiful. NO can opener, bottle opener, scissors, wine glasses, tumblers, TOASTER.
-Knives were blunt & some rusty, the colander had big holes so pasta would go down the drain, 4 coffee cups - 2 gigantic & 2 small
-Only 2 garbage bags provided, though owner asks that we take out garbage daily
-No dustbin or broom (only broom outside on patio)
-No paper towels & only 1 roll of toilet paper provided
-"basic soaps" provided was a pump hand soap. No starter kit of a small shampoo or a bar of soap
-Bed ok & A/C worked well. It however blew onto your head & neck while in the bed
-Gate between owner's & rental could blow open; bolt doesn't fit/lock properly. Her 2 cute dogs came by & left us poop surprises twice. The 2nd time, I stepped in it.
-A Welcome package for guests or at least a big bottle of water would be nice
Our flight home of April 4 was delayed, then cancelled. We phoned & wrote to owner as soon as we knew, approx 11:58 am, from airport to ask if we could stay longer. She replied AFTER we were en route to home on April 5. We had to find a room at The Atrium. Hence the 2 star rating. Would a toaster, glasses, scissors, etc really break her bank?
I was very pleased with this accommodation. It is located in a very nice and safe neighborhood, walking distance to 2 beaches and shopping. The ocean is right under your balcony! Amazing view! I would stay there again.
Quiet area right on the shoreline, excellent view, easy walk to beach, restaurants and shops. If staying for more than a couple of days be prepared to purchase supplies, no 'complimentary items' are offered.

About the host
Your host
I have been working in the tourism industry for the past 20 years as an activity manager and tour guide. I actually own and live in the unit next door for the past 10 years and have been very content so far. I am therefore readily available for additional assistance if needed by my guests. I can offer island tours and link my clients to many other services without hassle. My young age and experience motivate me to expand my horizons. By being a host, I can definitely achieve that! Meeting and interacting with new people from around the world is my specialty! I am proud to have accumulated so much knowledge and to have established so many useful contacts over the years. This journey has definitely forged me into a friendly and professional woman and mother. My real passion is at the heart of my home, my island Sint-Maarten/Saint-Martin. This is the place where I create all of my magic which I love to share with others.
Why they chose this property
I chose this neighborhood because it is peaceful, quiet and safe. Even though, the island is overall very safe, our neighborhood still offers a manned, gated security from 6pm from 6am. It is conveniently walking distance from beaches, nightlife and other conveniences such as grocery store, pharmacy, doctor’s office and the airport. The serene sound of the sea is constant and the views of both the rising and setting sun are perfect as it is a cul-de-sac. The quietness gives a feeling of being far away from it all when in reality it is nearby a whole lot without disturbances. What a great place to stay! Definitely the perfect vacation getaway for those who want to experience the island’s best. The people living in the area are discret and respectful. Many of which enjoy walking their pets around the neighborhood or simply taking walks at any given time.
What makes this property unique
What makes my property really unique is what I consider « A Million Dollar View » of the breathtaking Caribbean Sea. From the terrasse, one can observe the sun sets, the « Heineken Regatta » boat races, the cruise ships arriving and departing, surfers and all the sparkling lights across the bay at night. The property is homey, comfortable and private. With only 8 units, this condominium building is home to both owners and visitors. My guests only share the main entrance with me which then leads them across the main terrasse to their own entrance. Everything is nice and simply on and around the premise which includes checking in, checking out, carrying bags and parking write outside of the building.
