We are literally in '"The-South-of-France" as the French border is just steps away! There are stairs to climb to get up to this unit. Those with physical limitations should be aware. We’ve had no complaints because the view is worth it! This penthouse unit is 2 levels above the pool. The main villa situated below the pool currently has a quiet full time couple who rarely use the pool.

My husband and I spent 16 nights at this property and had the most enjoyable experience ever. Although Lee and Pat were not there they were easily accessible and quick to respond to any questions we had with great recommendations throughout the island.
The space was exceptionally clean and the hosts have equipped the space with every detail from the kitchen supplies to the beach chairs and towels for their guests.
The location is ideal for easy travel to the beach and has several restaurants and entertainment within walking distance.
The grounds were well maintained and the pool temperature was perfect!!
The villa also had an incredible balcony that overlooked the entire bay above an outstanding pool with magnificent sunrises, if you are an early riser.
There is a barbecue and gas oven, if you want to cook at home and grocery stores are fairly close by although I would recommend renting a car to access the island more conveniently.
Thank you both for sharing your villa with us. We will definitely be returning.

We stayed in the Butterfly Suite for two weeks at the end of March, beginning of April 2023 and cannot say enough about our time there. The view from the balcony is fabulous and the ocean breeze provided the fresh air that made the air conditioner redundant.
there are several restaurants within a two minute drive. We recommend Oasis (try the salmon), BZH (the Red Snapper) and of course Mama's Pizza. For breakfast and lunch you should try L'Escale (shows up as L'Petite Pause on GoogleMaps).
The villa is located on the Dutch side of island but only a minute from the border. It is clean and comfortable and the wifi is excellent. The driveway takes some getting used to (yes you will need a car) but if you drive around the island, you'll notice that most driveways are going up one hill or down another.
To make a long review short, we loved our stay and would definitely go back. The sargassum was a problem on some beaches but there is always another beach around the corner. it really is the Friendly Isle.

Everything about Lee’a place is awesome. Great views, well stocked with appliances and cooking utensils etc. The villa was very very clean, we did not see one insect, which is unheard of! We loved the quiet, safe location in Oyster pond, convenient to great restaurants as well. Communicating with the hosts was easy, they gave excellent recommendations and responded with any question we had very quickly. Side note, there are reusable bags you can borrow for grocery shopping in the villa so make sure you grab those before heading to the store (otherwise you may have to purchase you own). Definitely recommend Lees place & would stay here again!

From the moment we walked in we knew we would have a fantastic 3 week stay. The apartment has all the amenities you need to cook a nice meal or take the cooler & beach chairs to explore one of the gorgeous beaches nearby.
The location is secure and set up on a hillside with views you will never tire of. We found the property very centrally located and would recommend a car rental to give you the freedom to visit all corners of the island.
There is good wifi onsite whether in the apartment or by the pool, which you will probably have all to yourself!
The owners, Lee & Pat, were easy to communicate with and their host, Guy, is readily available for any questions you may have.
Thanks again!

Magnificent
Hard to imagine a more beautiful, peaceful, and relaxing place than this "Butterfly" penthouse. Perfect for a couple who want beauty and privacy, with their own pool, and the most beautiful beaches in the Caribbean just minutes away. The host, Lee, makes everything so easy. We stayed here in 2021, and again last week. It was wonderful the first time, and even better this time.

This is a wonderful place to stay. The owner and property manager are both very kind and responsive - they take care of you and make you feel special (and every recommendation they made was excellent). The flat is very clean and well equipped, the bed in the main bedroom (we didn’t try the singles in the living room) and couch are very comfortable, kitchen has everything you need and the highlight by far is the beautiful huge patio which has a stunning view and gets great sun and shade and the gorgeous swimming pool which we had to ourselves. We loved the area it was so lovely and the view is astonishing plus you get gorgeous trade winds that keep you cool at night. We could easily walk to a great pizza place and French bakery and to Dawn Beach and Oyster Bay resort, plus we had parking here and it was a great location as a base to drive all over the island. Huge highlight was going out with Captain Alan for a day of snorkelling and to Pinel Island - his boats leave from just down the street. We loved everything about this place and would love to come back one day. Thank you for everything.

Perfect place!
The Butterfly Suit was just right for our couples getaway! The Villa is spacious, very clean and had everything you need for a relaxing vacation including plenty of beach towels, a cooler and beach chairs to use to explore the island.
The location is perfect, Oyster Pond is a very clean and quiet area of St. Martin but has everything you could need near by. We loved going to all the restaurants just down the road. Our favorites were Oasis, BZH and Mama’s. We also frequented Bread and Butter Market for fresh French baguettes, pastries and random groceries.
Other things we did…
We hiked over to Babit Point, which is just on the other side of Oyster Pond from the Villa. It was an easy hike/walk with beautiful views and we even got to see the 3 local donkeys that live there.
We also did a 6 hour snorkel trip with Captain Alan’s Boat Charter. It was a great day out on the water and they are based out of Oyster bay Beach Resort which is a just a short walk from the Villa. Definitely recommend this trip!
All in all, The Butterfly Suit has everything you could need for a great vacation. Thank you, Lee, for having us and we look forward to coming back in the future!

Beautiful, spacious and very comfortable studio with breathtaking views
My husband and I stayed in this wonderful villa for a month, working remotely. The internet worked well, we were able to both be on skype/ zoom meetings at the same time.
The studio is very bright and airy, with absolutely everything that we needed. The terrace is large and comfortable with a table on which we enjoyed a lot of our meals, as well as a variety of lounge chairs and the breathtaking view. The kitchen was very well equipped with everything we needed to frequently cook from home along with a bbq on the terrace. The bed was a very comfortable king size, and the constant breeze made the studio a very comfortable temperature, that we did not need the a/c on at night. The surrounding area is quiet, close by to a few great restaurants and about 15 min drive to a grocery store and a 5 minute walk to nearest beach.
Lee and Patrick, were in the lower level apartment for a couple of weeks and were great hosts. They were very helpful and knowledgeable with recommendations about the island. Guy, a real estate agent who helped us make the booking met us at the airport, and helped find a rental car. Was also very helpful with the best things to do around the island.
Overall an amazing stay, we would love to come back to this studio and would highly recommend it.

My partner and I stayed for 2.5 weeks at Lee's amazing villa. It was largely a working vacation, and provided exactly what we'd hoped for. You will have this spacious penthouse unit with open, light-filled floorplan to yourselves--big outfitted kitchen, high ceilings, counter seats, dining table, couch and TV, master bed through folding doors, and two smaller napping or visitor beds in a nook off the living room. However, we spent much of our time on the terrace that extends the length of the apartment--grilling, eating, stretching out. Because the villa is high on the hill, you will have views over the entire bay and out to the ocean and St. Barts. You can also--as we did--end each day with a refreshing dip in the small adjacent pool that is nearly private, shared only with the owners and one other apartment. The "pink pearl" of Oyster Pond is rather removed from any of the main towns, which provided a serene and peaceful stay, so we recommend renting a car--which is very reasonable on island--to visit the larger beaches, towns, and restaurants further afield on both the Dutch and French sides (as you sit right on the border!). We were able to easily control the temperature in the apartment through a combination of air conditioning, fans, and open windows, and the wifi was strong enough to work throughout our stay. Lee is a detail-oriented host and thorough and responsive communicator, both before and during one's stay. While we did not have the pleasure of meeting Lee and Pat who were out of town, Guy--whom they'd deputized in their stead--was proactive and helpful, offering recommendations and providing any assistance we needed. You would be lucky to choose Lee's villa for your stay in Sint Maarten/Saint Martin. Enjoy your stay!
