Fantastic place! The location: Our suite was one of the 2 on the ground level overlooking the backyard, pool, beach and harbour (get a seaview suite if you can). The pool and beach are right in your backyard. You can lounge around there or take the (free) kayaks to Pinel Island, about a 15-min easy paddle away. There are beautiful beaches and 2 bars and restaurants on Pinel. The beach on the property isn't ideal for swimming (but great for relaxing). We didn't have a car, but it would be very practical to have one. The nearest town is about a 20-30 min walk away, so stock up on groceries before you arrive. We took taxis everywhere so it wasn't much of a problem. Most trips we took were in the $12-20 range. There is also a restaurant that will deliver, it was very good and reasonably priced. The suite: The apartment was beautifuly decorated. The outdoor kitchen was a huge plus - great to look out at the ocean while you're washing up! The bathroom looks like it's out of a magazine - it's huge and there's an opening (screened) between the top of the walls and the roof, so it's like you have an outdoor bathroom, complete with rocks and plants as part of the flooring. Soundproofing between the suites seems to be great, as we often stayed up late drinking wine on our patio and the people next door didn't hear a thing. Bruno and Carole are absolutely adorable hosts, friendly, genuine, helpful and responsive. They have lovely dogs who will accompany you on all your adventures if you want - if not they're very polite! They guarded our door, walked all the way into town with us and even jumped in the ocean to follow us as we kayaked to Pinel Island! (The dogs; not the hosts ;-) Wonderful and memorable stay in St. Martin, highly recommend.

Private, right on the water, clean, well equipped, personable owners on site.

Nothing. Everything was amazing!

Amazing location, probably best in st Martin. Lovely comfortable room, kayaks at disposition to go to Pinel island or the lagoon just in front. The pool was lovely and perfectly placed with amazing views. kitchen was very well equipped to be able to make proper food (large fridge freezer, induction hob, non stick pan, good knives…) Secure parking for the car at night. last but not least, very welcoming hosts Bruno and Carol and their adorable two dogs who we fell in love with instantly.

Views and location. A kayak ride away from Pinel Island, snorkeling and hiking. A relaxing spot for couples or family. The cooking and bathrooms are outside which seemed a little uncomfortable to me at first but totally welcomed and now would prefer to have those amenities outside. We loved the location!! The days were spent on the property or Pinel Island or in town at Grand Case.

A little muddy getting into the kayaks but the property is in a bay so…. it’s what you’d expect.

The hosts gave us a free upgrade to the Pinel studio as it was unoccupied during our stay. The view is breathtaking any time of day and the covered porch, private pool, beach and use of kayaks all great. The apartment was spacious, cool, clean and very comfortable. Good information about local hikes, beaches etc.

Nothing, we had a great stay

Peaceful, quiet and private. Easy paddle to sandy Beach at Pinel Island.. Close to hiking trail with great vista's. Close to beautiful beach on the windy wavy side.

The water was churned up and windy when I was there so I missed the crystal clear flat beaches and the clear rocky areas for snorkeling. Be prepared for tiny sand fleas and mosquitoes when it is not windy.

I came to work remotely and was able to do it without any problems. Extremely friendly owners who want to help you as much as you need, kitchen and bathroom are outside of the room but the open space was great! 5 minutes of driving to Ansel Marsel to swim, kayaks to swim to Pinel Island, and next to the apartment is a hill from which you can watch the sunrise!

Very nice studios with great view and pool.
