Amazing from beginning to end
The house is beautiful and in a nice area that is just a 5 or so minute walk to the Orient Bay beaches, shops, restaurants and bars. It’s well decorated throughout all 3 bedrooms and living spaces. The sunrises are incredible! The pool is clean and cool all the time. Phillipe was an amazing host who met us at the house with drinks and snacks. He gave us wonderful restaurant recommendations. Seriously some of the best food we have each experienced in our lives. High recommended by us! We will be coming back. We both want to live there!!

SXM for Thanksgiving
Very comfortable and well equipped house in a perfect location within Orient Village. Wish it had a pool heater (few in St. Martin do) and a clothes dryer, but neither prevented us having a nice stay. Will certainly book again.

Wonderful home for the family.
We are a family of 7 with ages ranging from 17 to 31 for our kids. This was the perfect place for us to stay. We loved being able to walk to the restaurants and supermarket. I recommend renting a car so you may visit other areas of St. Martin while on vacation.

Best location in Orient bay,
The good -Phillipe the host was excellent, welcoming, helpful and resolved issues very quickly. - Excellent location in Orient Bay - 10 min walk to beach and amazing restaurants. -Safe gated neighbor-hood -Very large spacious Villa, 3 huge double bedrooms. Note third bedroom has it's own front door and does not inter-connect with rest of villa. -Nice view, but not beach view, more sea view in the distance. -Well stocked kitchen -Free Wifi and sky TV etc. -Beer on arrival was a nice touch, thanks Phillipe :) The not so good - The villa is quite tired in places, for example the pool tiles are horribly dis-colored and need replacing. There is a peach bathroom, probably lovely in 1995, but really needs to be replaced now. Same for the wicker furniture and exposed pine paneling(could easily be painted). On a plus, some rooms have been re-vamped, but not all. When this villa is full revamped, it will easily be a 5 star from me, as it's huge and in the best possible location, however the owners need to spruce it up before I re-vist.

Location and Gorgeous Views!
This villa was the perfect place for a relaxing vacation! With gorgeous views and great location, this villa did not disappoint! We rented a car, but definitely did not need to! We were a short walk from the beach and tons of great food. The villa itself was great! Nice sized bedrooms and bathrooms. It was perfect for our group of four women. It had plenty of space for us. A great living space with a wall of windows that opened up right to pool, deck and awesome view! Would definitely stay here again!

Location, Location, Location!
I recently returned from a girl's getaway to this lovely villa, and we had such an amazing trip! Where you stay can really make or break your vacation sometimes, and I'm happy to say this villa did not disappoint. There were four women in our group, and it accommodated us quite comfortably. The bedrooms and bathrooms were all very spacious, we loved having a full kitchen to cook in, and it was so nice to have the private pool to relax by in the evenings. What I loved most about the villa is the location! It is just a short walk down the hill to the beach, a little grocery store, and many many great restaurant options. I just love when I'm on vacation and can walk to everything I need. I'm so happy we chose this villa in St. Martin, and can't wait to go back and stay there again!

Spectacular views!
I recently visited this villa for a summer vacation getaway and fell in love with the views, private pool, location, and the villa itself! It has three generously sized bedrooms, each with a full bathroom. The living space is perfect and opens right up to a covered deck overlooking the private pool, with excellent views of the ocean. The villa is a short walk to shops, wonderful dining and the crystal clear ocean. I hope to visit this paradise again soon!

Beautiful view
Our adult family enjoyed a week at Galapagos, a very well appointed villa a short walk to the beach, resturants and grocery/bakery shops. A well equipped kitchen allowed our family of "chefs" to create gourmet meals shared on the deck under the starlit skies, with the trade winds keeping us cool. Generous sized rooms with nice linens, and ceiling fans - no need to run the air conditioners. The owner/manager is very helpful and gracious. We hope to return again.

Villa overlooking the sea & 5 min walk to the beach
My family (2 adults and 2 teenage sons) recently stayed 9 nights in this villa. The location of the villa is perfect with a direct walkway to the beach, supermarkets, bakery & restaurants. If one want to explore the nearby Grand Case - a beautiful small town with lots of restaurants and a good place to hang out in the evening - it is only 10 min by car. The inside of the villa is nice - good kitchen that makes it easy to cook, a grill, a nice living room. There are 3 bedrooms - one of them is placed with a separate entrance, it is perfect if one wants a little privacy. The pool deck is furnished with sofas and deck chairs it is a truly nice place to see the sun rise and hang out. The near by Orient beach has it all - beautiful write beach with constant cooling trading winds from East and it makes it nice for sunbathing. If one want to be more active it is possible to rent jet -ski, hobie cat, kite surf, wind surf and arrange snorkeling and scuba diving trips - just 5-10 mins walk from the villa. It is very easy when travelling with teenagers. We have been at St. Martin 3 times and lived in other places before this time in Villa Galapagos - if we came back again we would want to stay there again.

Great Getaway!
My husband and I went to this villa for our honeymoon and had an amazing time! The inside of the home was nicely furnished and included a washing machine, the outside had an amazing pool and deck and the views of the ocean were unforgettable! The location of the villa was perfect, there is a walkway nearby that will lead you to some great restaurants, a bakery, and a small grocery store ; the walkway also leads straight to the ocean. We can't wait to go back!

A villa to return to!
I stayed recently in the Villa Galapagos with my son, daughter-in-law, and grandson. It was lovelier than we expected. We could see the beach from the deck and watch the sun go down over the ocean. And yet, because of the terraced hillside location and vegetation, our deck with pool provided total privacy. Just a 5 minute walk from Orient Beach...arguably the nicest beach on the island, we could not have landed on a more perfect location. The villa has three bedrooms, each with its own bath, as well as a half bath. The kitchen was fully equipped for cooking. We had breakfast every day on the table under covered patio overlooking the pool. Although we rented a car while on the island, there are numerous excellent restaurants within walking distance of this amazing villa. I can't wait to go again!
