My family spent a wonderful week (August 2022) in St Martin. The kids are in college now, so the days of having them sleep on the pull-out sofa in our hotel room are gone forever. It’s so nice to have 3 bedrooms, plus kitchen, dining and living room all for what you might pay for a single room. It is not a huge house, and does not have view of the beach, but there is plenty of space for a family, the beds are big and comfortable, the kitchen is well equipped, and the backyard is a relaxing, quiet tropical retreat.
Best of all, it is just steps away from the gorgeous Orient Beach. In the daytime there are water sports, beach bars/restaurants that offer lounge chairs and beach service, plus a couple small local food spots. When the sun goes down, there are several fantastic restaurants. Throw in a great little French bakery/breakfast spot, supermarket, even take-out Pizza and Taco places, and you literally do not have to get back in a car unless you wanted to, until its time to head to the airport.
Anna is fantastic host. She is very easy to get in contact with at any time, and seems to really be interested in making sure you will enjoy your time on the island.
