It is 'at grade' which means there are no stairs to climb, and 3 private parking spaces are at the entrance. Very handicap and child friendly. There are 2 king bedrooms which share one double sink- full bathroom. One queen bedroom with sliders adjacent to pool, and with semi-private full bathroom. Additionally, there is a powder room just off the living room area. Furnishings are mostly wood, and very high quality. There is a full kitchen with numerous amenities, and table/bar seating for eight. Also, there is wireless internet access and 120 volt recharging power strips for your convenience in this 220 volt region of the island. A safe for your valuables is also included. This villa is in the heart of the Baie Orientale community which has 24 hour security for added safety. Additionally, this community is gated with manned security at night.

Nice house - 1/2 block to beach & less than 10 minute walk to town
Three couples - so 2 king & 1 queen bed good! A/C worked great. Had private pool too .. could use few more towels. And more details on kitchen amenities. Manager did not send exact location til arrival day which was somewhat difficult - but he was there to welcome us / and met provisions shop too Overall Very happy - would stay again

Joie de Vie, Indeed!! 💙
We (fam of 7 with mostly adult children) thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this home, just 2 blocks from the beach and perfect for relaxing and making memories. Having our own private pool was fantastic and refreshing, and the small kitchen saved us a few bucks by giving us the ability to cook simple meals. The accomodations aren't luxurious; they are very comfortable and welcoming. Mid week maid service was helpful. We would love to return.

Can't wait to return
Villa is absolutely terrific -- comfortable, quiet and peaceful inside and out. Everything that you could possibly want and more. Wonderful location as well -- very short walk to beach and to Orient Village. We are very grateful for the opportunity to stay at the Villa and look forward to returning in the near future.

Wonderful location
What a wonderful villa in a wonderful location. You are within a three minute walk from Orient Beach. The villa is wonderful for four adults or a family with children. The pool is refreshing and the yard wonderfully kept. We had an issue that Magali, the property manager, took care of within an hour. We had a wonderful stay!

About the host

Hosted by Dan and Nancy

Host profile image
We like to travel mostly to beach destinations, which is why we bought in St Martin, and locally in Ocean City, Maryland USA.

Why they chose this property

We've been to most of the popular destinations in the Caribbean. Since first traveling to SXM in 1986 we loved it better than the others. The island was so beautiful it continually drew us back, so we bought here. Every time we return to the island we fall in love with it again!

What makes this property unique

It's nice knowing the beautiful soft white sand beach is a short stroll away, and the finest restaurants are in Grand Case, a 5 minute drive from the Villa. There are also no less than 20 restaurants with a complete variety of menus and price ranges within walking distance from the Villa.
