About this condo rental

Nestled in Simpson Bay, this charming condo for $686 per night is a great option for your next trip. Le Papillon Penthouse enjoys one of the best locations on St. Martin, with many wonderful restaurants nearby and a beach that is close to private and ideal for long walks. The building itself was finished in 2014 after a few years of planning. It was designed and built by a doctor who owned the property. The building is so well made that even with hurricane Irma we had minimal damage. Simpson Bay Area is a great place. It is a nice combination of tourism and local culture. It used to be a fisherman's village and it still holds some of that charm. It is easy to walk to restaurants and shops so people do not need to rent a car to go to places. But when you are in the apartment or on the beach you are completely away from any outside world.

Great penthouse with an awesome location right on the beach. All the amenities you need are there and very clean and modern. Very close to airport for convenience and watching airplanes take off from the hot tub on top floor a treat. Owner very receptive and quickly responds to all questions. Highly recommend if traveling to St. Martin. No worries if you rent this place.

From the unit to the beach to the location this trip was incredible. I can’t say enough good things about the host and the wonderful communication and allowing a late check out so we can get the last couple of beach hours.

We stayed at Le Papillon in the penthouse and it did not disappoint. The unit was exactly as described. We had everything we needed for our stay. The bedrooms were all large with beautiful bathrooms and comfortable beds! The kitchen, living room and indoor dining were all spacious and nicely decorated. Both the large patio and rooftop deck had amazing views with comfortable seating. Le Papillon is located on the best part of the beach. We were able to enjoy the beach and ocean right in front of the unit with easy access. Our favorite spot was right under the beautiful palm trees. Amazing restaurants and bars and shops are all in walking distance. Simona and Lorraine were both very helpful, friendly and always available. We cannot wait to come back again next year!

We loved staying here! This is our 5th time coming to St Martin and we will definitely stay here again! Everything in the villa is as described. The kitchen is very well appointed with anything you or your personal chefs will need. It was wonderful to be right on the beach! We especially loved this. Loraine, the housekeeper, is VERY hard working and cares about the properties she maintains. We really admired her hard work ethic and getting to know her. She was extremely helpful on check-in when the prior renters had left things in quite a disrespectful state. She was wonderful to work with and efficient at getting the property back into perfect order. The host, Simona, was always very prompt in responding to any questions/concerns we had and very attentive. The location felt secure and safe, no issues there. The beds were also very comfortable and the bathrooms were spacious and very nice. Overall, a wonderful experience. We would love to stay here again next year! Thank you Simona and Loraine!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The penthouse unit was beyond amazing! Clean, comfortable, highly spacious, snd stocked with every kind of house need you could possibly think of - including beautiful plates and glassware. It has all the makings of a 5 star restaurant and resort without the crowd of guests! Truly a home feel that gave you peace, quiet and an immense feeling of tranquility! Was the best stay ever! We would highly recommend the accommodation to anyone! Without hesitation. And housecleaning was so accommodating to meeting our needs it was a real relaxing stay in every sense. We did many of Simona’s recommendations and all were fabulous and truly great! Thank you so very much!

The place was as advertised- just beautiful, so well equipped. The views are amazing and to be able to watch the planes taxi down the runaway was fantastic. We loved every moment of our stay. Host was so courteous and prompt to respond. Highly recommend staying here.
