An absolutely stunning ocean view awaits you! The bed is also very comfortable and bedding is great. The hosts are very kind and respond very quickly to any requests you might have. The appartement is in a very safe residence and a great area. There’s also a beautiful brand new pool for the residents right on the beach. There are a few opportunities to mention. First, I found that for the price the amenities were lacking. We were disappointed to find no toilet paper, no paper towels, and a dirty old sponge to wash the dishes. We were informed it was an oversight from the cleaning lady and the hosts brought us some asap. We had a fair bit of ants which required us to vacuum daily. Again once the hosts were informed they fumigated asap. Lastly, the pans are old and scratched up and the appartement is not adequate for much cooking. We only made coffee and light breakfasts which was really all that was possible. There’s also no warm/hot water to wash your dishes. Lastly, what was most important for us was a beach and we had asked the hosts a few days before if there was seaweed and they informed us it gets picked up daily. It does get removed, that said the beach was unswimmable as the ocean is full of seaweeds in this area. In order to swim you must walk down about 8 mins on the beach towards orient bay. During our entire week in St-Martin, we went to several beaches and this one was by far the worse when it comes to seaweed in the ocean making it impossible to enjoy or swim.
