About this property

Luxury Villa w/ BEACH ACCESS, Short walk to beach, 2SUP, kayak, beach gear

We invite you to escape to a beautiful, tropical Caribbean paradise where you can rest, relax, and unwind in the privacy of your own secluded retreat. Villa Fantome is the perfect location to enjoy time with family and friends. Come experience sun-filled days by the pool, explore over 35 beaches, and enjoy a variety of activities such as snorkeling, swimming, hiking, sailing, and ziplining.

A luxurious 6 bedroom oceanview villa, Villa Fantome is located on the Dutch side of St. Maarten in the gated community of Dawn Beach Estates. The views of Oyster Pond, Tintamare, Anguilla, St. Barths, St. Kitts, and Nevis are ENDLESS. The unique multi-level design of the villa takes advantage of these spectacular ocean views from EVERY single room!  Each of the 6 bedroom suites boasts breathtaking ocean views. The moment you pull into the driveway and enter the oversized custom wood front doors, you will be captivated! The property is perfect for large groups, families, weddings, photoshoots, and corporate retreats, as there is plenty of space for everyone.

On the main floor, Villa Fantome is equipped with a beautiful gourmet kitchen featuring a spectacular quartzite island that can seat up to 12 guests. The kitchen is bright, modern, and well appointed with everything you could need during your stay. You will enjoy looking out at St. Barths while you are preparing your meals and simultaneously enjoy the breathtaking views of Oyster Pond and Dawn Beach. Relaxing in the hanging rattan chair in the corner of the room while the chef prepares your meal makes this kitchen a unique experience to remember. The chef in your group will love cooking in this large space. If you don't want to cook, you can also hire professional chef services to enjoy during your stay. We also provide a stainless steel grill for cooking outside. There is a 6 person teak breakfast table on the veranda adjacent to the kitchen in addition to the large, main outdoor dining area.

A half level down from the main floor, the living room boasts soaring 20 foot ceilings. There is a seating area to enjoy the beautiful views, as well as bar height table and chairs for a small group to gather for food or drinks. Dining al fresco will be an experience to remember at Villa Fantome, as the outdoor seating area is large enough to comfortably host up to 14 guests.

A half level below the living room, you will find the media room. The media room has a large flat screen TV and a comfortable sectional to enjoy movie night after a long day in the sun. The sectional can also easily accommodate additional younger guests as an alternative sleeping option. On this level, you will also find 3 ocean view bedrooms, each with en-suite bathrooms. Each room is equipped with a king size bed, luxury linens, custom toiletries, and walk-in showers. Located on the pool level, guests staying in one of these 3 bedroom suites will enjoy the convenience of walking out of their sliding glass doors directly onto the pool deck.

The pool features 5 built-in bar stools to take advantage of the breathtaking views. Imagine sipping your cocktail, feeling the tradewinds, and looking out over the Atlantic ocean! This may end up being your favorite spot in the whole house! The pool deck features multiple lounge chairs for sunbathing. There is also a small seating conversation area to enjoy cocktails.

Above the main floor is an upper master suite also known as the "Presidential Suite". The spiral staircase leads you first to a gorgeous rotunda foyer. This is the entry way to the suite. The upper floor also features a walk out balcony and sun deck. There are 4 lounge chairs on the deck for your enjoyment. It is a perfect place to relax and take in the incredible views of St. Barths. The Presidential Suite features a king size bed, en-suite bathroom with walk-in shower, and walk-in closet. The suite also features a seating area with a convertible sofa that could serve as an additional sleeping space for a younger guest if needed.

A second master suite is located on the main floor, just beyond the kitchen. This master suite also features an en-suite bathroom, walk-in shower, king size bed, and small futon that could serve as an additional sleeping space for a younger guest.

For added convenience, there is also a laundry room and full cabana bathroom with a walk-in shower located on the main level. The laundry room features 2 large capacity washers and 2 large capacity dryers.

The 6th bedroom is located in the studio apartment under the main villa. This apartment features an en-suite bathroom with walk-in shower, private balcony, and a kitchenette. This is a separate, private space but with stairs and a ramp leading up to the main villa from the outside, it is easy for guests to be a part of all the amenities that the main villa offers.

Villa Fantome also comes equipped with 2 paddleboards, kayak, snorkeling gear, beach chairs, and a cooler to enjoy during your stay. Beautiful Dawn Beach is situated directly below the property and can be accessed from the neighborhood. About a 7-10 minute walk from the villa, Dawn Beach is a gorgeous white sand beach with a coral reef perfect for snorkeling. The JW Marriott/ Dawn Beach Club offers a beachfront bar and a light lunch menu.

For more than 10 guests, there is an additional fee of $125 per person per night. This additional fee includes the use of the studio apartment, which is the 6th bedroom.

Beautiful home with Beautiful View
Villa Fantome was the most beautiful home, on the inside as well as the outside. The views are stunning, the infinity pool is just perfect and the sea breeze was fabulous! The inside of the home is beautifully decorated and the supplies provided from coffee to ziplock bags to so many other items too numerous to mention, were most appreciated! We were also so thankful for the souvenir beach bags and the fresh flowers. Thank you Gabi for the excellent communication! You made planning this trip so much easier. Thank you Daryl for the escort to the Villa and the many other behind the scenes care you provided. My family were all so very happy to spend their vacation at such a gorgeous home. We would love to return in the future.

Paradise for a week with friends.
Our group of 12 were so excited to walk through the door of this beautiful property after many months of planning. The house fit our needs perfectly, 6 bedrooms each with a private bathroom worked well for our 6 couples. Dinners with tons of laughs around the huge kitchen island. Yoga in the livingroom one morning, coffee and a book on the balcony taking in the magnificent view. Many of our group got up early most morning to check out the sunrises. The few questions we had were answered quickly by Gabi and Daryl. I would highly recommend this property! Thanks for having us.

Family/Friend Trip
Our group of 11 had an absolute amazing time here! The house was clean and just as pictured, the house manager and cleaning crew did a wonderful job whenever we were away for the day! Felt safe in the neighborhood and enjoyed local restaurants. Will say the road traveling to the French side was pretty rough, but very minor detail! A great trip all around!

Perfection
For context, I am also a host, and travel frequently and almost always stay in STR. This is one of the best, if not the best property I have ever had the pleasure to stay. The property looks exactly like the photos. There is nothing you could need or want that has not been thought of in this home. We cooked almost daily and the kitchen is equipped with everything you need to make wonderful meals. The bedrooms are all spacious with comfortable beds, great water pressure and stunning views from each and every one. The whole place is meticulously thought out at every step and immaculately clean. The pool is absolutely perfect and the view is just magical. We walked down to Dawn beach just below the house one day, spent one day at Anse Marcel and another at Orient Bay. Somehow each beach even prettier than the last. We chartered a boat with CaptainJo and went to Anguilla one day, which I highly recommend. We did chef services with Fabulous Feasts for brunch 2 morning and dinner with chef Romaine one evening. We love having a chef come to the home on our trips and these 2 did not disappoint. Darryl was incredibly helpful and available at all times to ensure we our trip was excellent. Gabi was super responsive and gave us all the amazing recommendations we used to make our trip memorable. I would give more than 5 stars if I could.

Empty Nesters Getaway
Amazing stay at Villa Fantome! We had a great balance of enjoying the luxuries of the villa and exploring the island. We did a private boat charter which allowed us to visit Pinel and other remote islands at St Martin. We hired a steel drum band one evening and we had more fun and laughs than we ever could have imagined. We had a couple cars so we made some trips to some beaches and dinner as well. When we were at the villa we took advantage of all the beautiful rooms and their views— swimming, dancing, playing cards. The only thing that went wrong was the internet went out one of our last evenings and the men were disappointed they missed the NCAA basketball games. But just as Gabi mentioned, the property manager was there on the spot trying his best to remedy the problem. Gabi and the Villa staff go above and beyond to be sure you have a great vacation!

Our family has been coming to the island of St. Maarten for over 15 years. We enjoy spending time together both at home in Florida and also while travelling. We love the water, sun, sand, and surf and have always enjoyed the low key lifestyle of island living. We welcome you to the beautiful island of St. Maarten and hope you enjoy Villa Fantome as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

Villa Fantome is a story about Strength.  Resilience.  Hope. Transformation.

On September 6, 2017, the island of St. Maarten was struck by one of the most powerful hurricanes recorded in modern history. Hurricane Irma, a category 5 storm, tore through this small Caribbean island leaving behind destruction that was unimaginable. With sustained winds nearing 200 miles per hour and a coastal surge over 30 feet, this "super" hurricane submerged entire neighborhoods and covered an area the size of mainland France. It left the island completely devastated. Homes were destroyed, businesses were gone, and lives were lost. Several days later, the island felt the effects of yet another storm, Hurricane Maria. While this storm did not impact St. Maarten directly,  it was still a double blow to an island that was already suffering.  

Villa Fantome, like many other homes, survived the storm. But what sadly remained were only floors and walls. There was no roof, no windows, no doors. The interior of the home had been completely destroyed.  After the storm, the home had been abandoned and left to the elements. The previous owners evacuated the island at their first opportunity and never looked back.  Almost one year after Hurricane Irma, the property was purchased by new owners who had the vision, determination, and fortitude to look beyond its current state. They saw the potential of this incredible property and were willing to take the risk of rebuilding.  

After 12 months of extensive renovations, the property has been completely transformed to the beautiful, luxury vacation home that it is today. We invite you to come visit the island of St. Maarten, experience the strength and determination of its people to rebuild, and enjoy the unique property that is now known as Villa Fantome.

What makes this property unique

This property has absolutely STUNNING views. Because of the multi-level design of the home as well as the way the property is situated on the lot, EVERY single room has a view of the ocean. You will be mesmerized the moment you walk in the door.

The home is perfect for large groups, with plenty of space for everyone.

There is beach access to the beautiful Dawn Beach locates below the villa. It is approximately a 5-7 minute walk from the property.
