The Neighborhood Overview:
The Ebenezer Estate is a small neighborhood community that makes up part of Dutch Cul-de-Sac. Centrally located between Phillipsburg and Marigot. It's a residential area located in a valley, surrounded by hills. The impressive nature of the green hills is always in view. The area is accessed by a single main road, LB Scott Road, which ends in a cul-de-sac against the hills. This road runs through the valley and provides access to the many side roads on which the dwellings are located. The main road, LB Scott Road, connects Dutch Cul-de-Sac with the rest of Sint. Maarten.
What I love most about the neighborhood are the quietness and privacy. On most days, the block is quiet, other than vehicles passing on the streets from time to time during school hours. It's a short drive to the attractions of both the Dutch and French sections of the Island. This neighborhood is pretty safe, I wouldn't be too worried about walking around the neighborhood; people are amicable. You'll find the communities warm and welcoming. The best way to discover the way of life and customs of Saint Maarten is to take a stroll through its towns and villages.

Twenty-three minutes to Juliana International Airport, Fifteen minutes to Philipsburg, the boardwalk, Great Bay, and Divi Little Bay beaches. The area is home to The Flying Dutchman, the steepest Zipline in the world, and the Rainforest Park.
Emilio's Restaurant- Fine dining with lots of history.
Jose Lake Ballpark- host to local and international softball.
Carrefour Market- the largest hypermarket in the world.
Carib Lumber Ballpark - hosts local and regional cricket.
Juliet’s gym-5 minutes
Mark's Place - American and Caribbean Cuisine, large portions, and friendly staff.
The lookout point is on Cole Bay Hill, where you will enjoy an excellent view of Simpson Bay, Cole Bay, and our neighboring islands.

Getting around:
If you want to explore the island and its beaches, Evening entertainment, I recommend renting a car. However, there is easy access to public transportation in the Dutch Cul-de-Sac area. The journey is short to Philipsburg and the airport by car or taxi. The nearest bus stop that goes into Philipsburg is about a 5-minute walk.
You can get a cab to the airport. Prices are set by the government and are determined by how far you go. The restaurant will call a cab for you. Just make sure to wait for the cab number they give you. Taxis are also great transportation at night, particularly as the buses are less likely to run. They are unmetered, so agree on a fare before entering the cab. The main Taxi service in St. Maarten is called Dutch Taxi. I can also provide a more reliable taxi driver and a car rental company, highly recommended.

Great location & amazing experience!
This was my first ever homeaway booking experience, and MEcasa Menavia was everything I could have hoped for an more! The property contact, Menavia, was so helpful and checked on us throughout the trip. The home had everything you could ever need while staying in the beautiful Sint Maarten. Check in and check out were hassle free, which made the trip even more enjoyable! It is a beautiful place! Perfect for a quick getaway or extended stay. We hope to be returning soon! It was an amazing experience!

fantastic property and a wonderful hostess
Menavia is essentially sharing her home with you in Many ways, and it is arguably the best deal on the island. It is located up the hill in the Dutch Cul'd sac between Phillipsburg and Simpson Bay and is literally 10 minutes drive from each, I timed it. They say you should have a car anyway even the remotest place on the 49 Square mile island are less than an hour away. Her place is in a very quite neighborhood and is incredibly comfortable. She offered us a bottle of wine from her cellar, referred us to great car rental agent, recommended dining, she just can't do enough for you. I am a new VRBO owner (Browning Mansion in Utah ski country) and I aspire to providing the kind service Menavia does. We rented a sailboat with a group and after our trip some of the crew rented a room at the Simpson Bay resort for $175 per night in the off season and it wasn't anywhere near as comfortably or as well appointed, so we contacted Menavia again and she allowed us to stay another two nights at the end of our trip and our friends might have been a little jealous as they visited us here. Your hostess provides beach blankets, towels, ice chests, no cost laundry, efficient Kitchen and dining area with all necessities, huge bath with shower and Jacuzzi tub and a very generous bedroom suite with a queen and single bed, computer wifi, printer, and magic jack phone for no cost calls. She has well deserved her super host status. I would hope to stay here every time I return to St Martin.

WONDERFUL STAY
This property was shown to us before our rental period, so we had a some insight as to what to expect besides the description on VRBO. We would recommend to others as this unit was exceptionally clean, well appointed, located in a nice neighborhood, and gave us a feeling of security. Before checking in, we got our usual supply of groceries and found out upon arrival that many of the items that we had brought from home or purchased local were supplied with the rental. The bedroom and bathroom are very spacious and comfortable - stocked with a great number of bath towels, beach towels, and linens. The gazebo was a great hangout to enjoy the outdoors, with reliable WIFI in the area as well as the studio. There were a couple of questions/concerns that came up during our stay. These items were taken care of immediately by Menavia. She is exceptional as a host, keeping in touch to ensure a satisfactory stay and providing insight into activities that may interest her visitors or make their stay more enjoyable. Her activities and interests as a host, were genuine and refreshing!
