When we first arrived, the host failed to leave the keys, so we had to wait for his brother to let us into the unit. Thankfully, his brother was kind, helped us with our luggage, and even offered his personal parking spot a real blessing considering how difficult parking is in the area.The walk to the unit was unsettling, as the surroundings appeared rundown. At first, I didn’t feel safe. But after spending six days there, I can say it was surprisingly quiet and secure despite initial impressions.We experienced a leak in the bathroom, which left us without hot water for a full day. The listing mentions a washer and dryer, but there was no dryer. We had to hang our clothes outside on a plastic drying rack. Only two bath towels and two hand towels were provided for the entire stay. The bed felt like sleeping on a slab of cardboard, and the bed skirt was visibly dirty.Overall, we would rate the condition of the unit a 3 out of 10. The beach views were nice, but that alone doesn’t outweigh the discomfort. We won’t be returning, and we wouldn’t recommend it to anyone we know.That said, if you’re not concerned with luxury and just want a basic, quiet place to stay, this could work for you.We absolutely loved our first trip to St. Martin despite being let down by the unit.
