Beautiful views with a bit of work it could be great.
Pros: Check in process was easy. The house had a great layout and easy for entertaining. There were plenty of pool towels. The house felt secure. The dining room table had plenty of seating. 10 pool lounge chairs available (more than the 8 listed). Things I would want to know: The photos do not accurately reflect the current state of the property. New living room furniture (seats 6 – 8). Turn the alcove furniture around to make more seating. There is no outdoor table anymore (2 picnic table). This was an issue for us, as this was the main reason I booked it. We hired a private chef for the stay (on our own). Picnic tables are not comfortable for 2 hour dinners. The owner tried to resolve it once I noticed the previous review, but could not in time. The air-conditioning did not work in 2 of the 4 rooms upon arrival. Resolved the following day. Ceiling in the family room & living room leaked when it rained. Per the owner, this is being resolved in the next couple of weeks. The pool is deep (no shallow end). More like a lap pool. They have floats and we brought some and left them. Dishwashing detergent is provided not laundry detergent. The listing says maid service is daily, but once per our stay (5 days) – important to have laundry detergent. 2 local cell phones were provided (used our own data). Fridge was not stocked (fresh milk, fruit, soda, beer.) Wifi was unreliable (used personal data). Owner has stated this is resolved. The owner was easy to deal with & responsive

Beautiful Views But Needs Improvements
This stay was a mixed bag for our group of 4 kids aged 6-15 and 5 adults. Our check in process was not smooth but the owner was apologetic and tried to make it right. And I feel for the owners because I am sure the issues are not so much neglect as not completing repairs after the hurricane. Still, the pictures do not reflect the current state of the home. It feels warn down. Pros The house is spacious with room for a big group. Direct beach access is a great feature. Views from the house and pool deck are beautiful. Master bedroom bed was quite comfortable. Clean, nice sheets and plenty of towels. Easy access to the JW Marriott for live music and the swim up bar (as well as Sunday brunch). Area felt quiet and safe. Cons Shower by the beach does not look like a tree and doesn’t function at all. Ceiling in the family room leaked when it rained. Hot tub is damaged; the heater and jets don’t work; numerous broken/danaged tiles by pool and stairs to beach. Pillars and wall at the front of the pool deck are damaged and there is a big pile of broken concrete pieces at the back of the pool deck. The pretty table and chaise lounge chairs from the pics are gone—cheap replacements and picnic tables. The caretaker didn’t start opening the house or cleaning until after check in time and arrived two hours before check out and started cleaning while we were trying to pack up and enjoy the last couple hours at the beach—it felt intrusive.

Women’s business event
This property is a gem I don’t see how the calendar is not booked up entirely each month. It’s perfectly located in a quiet area right on the beach, has staff in home as well as a cleaning woman who is the sweetest. Everything here is perfect. AC is phenomenal, the only small flaw is the WiFi doesn’t work so well and for streaming a live event with that many people in the home it really causes a challenge but besides that there’s bug spray a full bar and even a semi stocked fridge upon arrival! This is our second year here and will be back again

Weekend Bachelorette
This villa had everything I needed and MORE to house 14 girls for my 4 day Bachelorette Party. Check-in was quick and easy. The Villa was very clean and our housekeeper, Tiana, was extremely thorough and sweet. All 5 rooms had AMAZING views. We used all the amenities without any issues. I definitely recommend this property when coming to SXM with a large party.

Fabulous property for a family vacation. We were 10 total and could have fit a lot more. Had plans to partake of island activities but everyone was happy just hanging out at our own pool and beach. Little grandsons lived the dragons (iguanas)

Comfortable stay for large group
Everything about our stay was easy, from check-in to the daily housekeeping. The housekeeper we had, Christiana, was lovely and went above and beyond for us, even helping with our BBQ and finding local restaurants from which we could order in. The villa is also quite large and fit all 13 of us, which is no small feat. All in all, it was a lovely stay.

Ideal for large family gatherings
Daily housekeeping was a huge bonus, and our host Sonal was always accommodating and responsive. The location of the house gave us easy access to the Dutch or French side of the island. The house was extremely clean and comfortable for our group of 8 adults and 9 kids

Beautiful Location!
The inside of the house was great. The outside of the house was beat up pretty bad by Irma. The outdoor shower, roof, gutters, stairs to the beach, and most of the gardens were destroyed. We enjoyed our stay very much and Audry (one of the house keepers) was amazing. There are lots of stairs to the beach, but it didn't bother us.

Wonderful
Great home. Our family of 14 spent a week there. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a place on the ocean that this is it. There are a lot of steps in the house so anyone with mobility issues might find it difficult especially with a baby just starting to walk who loved to climb them. But the view, house and surroundings are worth it! I wanted to bring Audrey the housekeeper home with us. Lovely lady. If I ever go to st Marteen again this would be my choice to stay at

The house was everything we wanted it to be and more. We enjoyed our stay and will book again in the future. We've already recommended the home to family and friends. The house was in good repair. We did have a few mishaps that was resolved as quickly as they could resolve them. Some of it was do to island living. House keeper came everyday except Sunday. Could have been every other day would have been ok. Sonal was extremely friendly and did everything she said she would. She cares about those who stay at her property and wants to make their stay enjoyable. Thank You

Great Accomodations
I don't even know where to begin. The overall experience was fantastic. We had a group of 6 adults and 8 children. The house easily accommodated the 14 of us. There was a room of bunk beds in the main house where we put the girls and we put the boys in a little cabana house that included it's own kitchen. All the rooms have a nice view and are well set up. the cabana house has limited views and if we had one complaint it's that it doesn't have much airflow so after you put 4 boys in it by the end of the week it begins to smell like the backseat of a long family road trip. The house is on the beach but it's a bit of a haul down the stairs. Now that said, it's not too difficult unless maybe if you're a senior. The beach area is not vast but it's adjacent to the Westin which has a large beach area. While the beach at the Westin is very nice once in the water its very rocky/sharp crushed shells. However, if you go out in the water in front of fantasea it's actually very sandy. From the very beginning the owner was very accommodating. We had open dialog on everything from house features to things to do on the island to even the condiments already at the house. She was truly in the interest of our group having a fantastic time. In fact, because of the way the house is set up it's great for socializing. The kids played cards and played in the pool and the adults hung out on the patio or in the hot tub every night we were at the house. Not once did anyone even turn on a TV. We actually lost touch of what was going on in the world. I guess that's what vacation is supposed to be about. In summary, if going to St. Maarten, you can't go wrong with this house.

Amazing!
Anyone with a group needs to rent this villa. Its spectacular and Isla the housekeeper has been working for this villa for 22 years, she knew everything about the place. Even came out on her day off when we had trouble with the hot tub and it was working within hours. The beach was great. Having the option of running down to the beach or stay back and float in the pool was so great to all of us. Everyone in our party commented on everything the villa had for us to enjoy. Can't beat the views off the large deck. Also was easy to find for first timers to the island. We were all sad to leave. Thank you Sonal for opening up your villa, it was a fantastic week.

Outstanding vacation
We had 12 people in our group and never lacked for space or privacy. We enjoyed every moment of the house. The steps were a challenge but you could always stop along the way and enjoy the view. The hot tub was used everyday but the pool was a little cold for some of us. The house was always kept clean and the housekeeper was very helpful in anything we needed. We would highly recommend this house for an outstanding vacation.
