Great villa! April 27 - May 4, 2024
The location of this villa is great! Close to beach and amazing restaurants! Loved spending time in the pool! Bedrooms/bathrooms were great for 2 couples and 2 singles. A great vacay!

Best Caribbean vacation ever
We go to different islands every spring break and host our children and 3 baby grandchildren. They have all been fun but this is the first one in which we intend to return. House is beautiful and well planned with the 4 master bedroom suites. Location is really great with Orient Beach just down the street. There are lots of amazing restaurants for such a small village. Our housekeeper Luvie was a real prize, taking great care of us and the home. We'll miss her!

Beautiful house, perfect location
We really enjoyed our week at Villa Belle Mer. The house is beautiful and very clean. The outside lounging and dining areas were a big plus. The location could not be better- an easy flat walk to the shops and beach clubs in Orient Bay. We hope to come back next year!

Perfect!
We had a party of 8, 2 young children and 6 adults. The house layout was perfect with all 4 bedrooms downstairs and an extra space upstairs that the children mostly used to play. The pool was big enough for all to hang out and the deck was awesome and spacious. Location for us was the key. It’s walking distance down to restaurants, shops and beach but we chose to drive ( hot walk for kids!). No trouble parking. Luvie was great and provided anything extra we needed. We have stayed in many properties on the island and this was one of the favorites!

St Martin Perfection
We stayed at this property in February 2023 with 8 total adults. The home was very clean and exactly as described. We had plenty of room for all 4 adult couples to relax by the pool, eat together at the outdoor dining table and all bedrooms and bathrooms were wonderful. Luvie was just a gem! She arrived each day (except her day off on Sunday) to make beds and provide cleaning services. We so enjoyed talking with her and hearing more about the island and area. Any questions I had in advance were answered immediately and never had to wait on any information. Fabulous host, terrific in-house assistance, very safe and enjoyable location. I would 100% recommend staying here!

Getaway with friends
We just spent a great week in St Martin. The house was everything we expected. Close to the beach and lots of restaurants within walking distance. Louvie was great and was accommodating when we didn’t need her to come on a daily basis. Dany was awesome in answering quickly when we had questions. There was lots of space for the 5 of us (including 2 couples). We rented a vehicle and enjoyed exploring. Using waze is the way to go. Google doesn’t work that well down there. Our favourite beaches to visit was definitely Captain French’s and Mullet Bay beach. Orient Beach has suffered a lot since the hurricane. Lots of rocky areas in the water but people are working hard to get it up and running again. We had a great lunch at Le String Beach on Orient Beach. A must if you’re in the area. Restaurants to visit that are worthy include Sao Asian Factory, Le p’tit bistro, Captain Frenchy’s and our favourite, Bamboo House.

Lovely home for a stress free vacation
The house was lovely. We were able to get to the beach where my teens enjoyed parasailing! We enjoyed being able to walk to dinner many nights and our ability ti get delicious French pastry nearby! Getting to grand case and Marigot was a breeze. The housekeeper was helpful with scheduling Covid testing and kept the house neat. When we had a minor problem with the shower henri came promptly and helped us out. It was a lovely stay!

Exceeded Expectations
Before we went, we had some reservations about having a housekeeper, since we assumed it would be having a stranger among us. However, it was quite the opposite. She was very friendly, helpful, and responsive, and we looked forward to her daily visits and exchanged hugs when we left. The property was elevated over nearby houses which provided great privacy and view of the ocean in the distance. We looked forward every afternoon to returning from the beach to enjoying a relaxing evening back at the house. There was plenty of space for the 8 of us to hang out together outside, and there was also plenty of other common area, including a beautiful loft with an ocean view, for anyone who wanted some quiet reading space. We plan to return next year.

Great house in a great location. Easy to walk to the beach and restaurants. Lots of space, great pool and everything you need to cook if you choose to do that. Bedrooms were nice and cold with the AC. Housekeeper kept everything clean on a daily basis and it was nice to have the beds and dishes done.

Simply BEAUTIFUL, with just the right combination of Elegance and simplicity!
The villa was everything we were looking for, very secure and a lot of privacy. The remote gate was a big plus! The interior is really decorated very nicely with every room with it's own character,LOVE the master suit . However we spent most of our time at the out door living area and the pool, which was so relaxing with the trades winds blowing at all times! We also enjoyed the conveniences in the village in Orient Bay, if we did not want to leave,there are several nice restaurants and stores there. The one thing that brought us to Orient Bay is their beach, heard it is one of the most desired beaches to visit and enjoy on Saint Martins, They are right , totally awesome, we were there every day ! Have to say , one of the best vacations we ever had, and a big thank you to the owners of the villa for creating such a warm and inviting home to come to.

Outside area was great for lounging, eating and enjoying beverages. Location is within walking distance to beach (5-10 mins), restaurants (10-15 mins), markets (10 - 15 mins).
