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. Overlooking the entire Simpson Bay beach, the comfortable 4000 sq. feet penthouse is equipped with everything a visitor might need. The long list of our luxurious amenities is shown below.

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! ##### Melissa S. Stayed 6 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rachael B.

We just returned and I can't stop raving about this property to all my friends & family. We have rented a lot of VRBO properties over the years and this was one will stand out for years to come. To start, it was in a great location, right on the beach. Simpson Bay has beautiful water, beautiful sand and no rocks right in front of Le Papillon. The convenience of walking down to the beach anytime you want was well worth it. The condo itself was immaculately clean and I don't say that often. It was well appointed with everything you need (soaps, shampoo, laundry detergent, softener, coffee, filters, baggies, spices, the list really goes on & on). The unit was spacious and just as pictured on the listing. And that rooftop!!!! The views were unbeatable. This property deserves all the 5 star reviews it has received and Im sure will continue to receive. Wish I was back there now, having my breakfast on that patio and looking out at all the yachts!!! If you are considering this property, you will NOT be dissappointed, this is the ONE! ##### Rachael B. Stayed 5 nights in May 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Melissa S. Jun 29, 2025 ##### Melissa S.

The manager and owner were responsive and always helpful.We stayed with our adult children and their significant other. There was plenty of space for the six of us!It is located on the most beautiful beach on the island...you won't want or need to leave! Catamaran excursions came to our beach every day it is so beautiful. We had beach chairs/lounges available, beach towels and plenty of "floaties" to use in the water.There were many wonderful restaurants close by and around the island. Our favorites were Palapa Grill, Bamboo House, Big Fish, Skip Jacks and La Terrasse. We rented a car and had to plan accordingly to the SLOW traffic on the island.This property is located beside the airport. The noise from the planes was never a problem. In fact, it was fun watching the planes land and take off so close to us.We 100% recommend this property and would stay here again if we plan another vacation here. ##### Lisa M.
