We had a wonderful three-generation stay in St. Martin at this wonderful villa managed by Sophie. Spectacular place to sit on the deck in the evening with cocktails and watch the pink and orange light on the ocean, the blooming tropical plants, and hear the waves.
Location is unbeatable. It was an easy walk to all the restaurants and cafes in Orient Bay. The six of us could all be on our schedule -- early risers at the beach, teens sleeping in and then grabbing smoothies at a cafe, Mom take a walk and getting iced coffee at a different cafe and hitting the beach later. Many days we did not use our car. Many spectacular restaurants right there a few blocks from the house, so we were free to have cocktails and wine and the teens could return to the house on their own. Easy drive to Grand Case.
The villa is as beautiful as the photos, and extremely clean. The only two notes: Google maps does not give the correct directions (it tells you to turn uphill at the traffic circle but that road is blocked by planters) so you absolutely should study the directions and map Sophie will send, and look at the roads in your map app, and then merge that together, do not just rely upon app directions.
Other thing: one of the bedroom suites has large glass sliding doors in the bathroom, that open onto a private deck. The landscape plantings shield the bathroom from view by neighbors, but the doors are right there. We were fine, but some might be shy or uncomfortable.
