Good:Beautiful deck, ocean view and steady windsNew appliances (stove and dishwasher)Nicely furnishedPictures, for the most part, accuratePrivate, isolated settingResponsive owner - quickly addressed multiple problemsBad:Tortuous path/driveway getting to the unit - an oversized mound of cracked, busted, deep pocketed cement to navigate the last 150-200 yards to unit. Owner claims no responsibility for this, as it’s owned by the state. Heads up would be nice. Recommend 4 WD vehicle. Owners friend stayed in the unit underneath us and used the neighboring apt. complex to park his car. New stove not properly installed. Max, the handyman discovered a crimped plastic gas line. New dishwasher never worked properly. May have something to do with water pressure which fluctuates 50-70% if someone else in the villa using it - or even the unit below us using their DW or shower.Drainage poor throughout the unit - Pipes gurgled day and night indicating poorly vented and clogged P valves (or U-traps).Day 1, Max indicated a small drip under kitchen sink, 8-10 days later reported terrible odor coming from this area. Days later hot water line blew open, spewing hot water all over the kitchen. Max fixed the next day. No reading lamps in the bedrooms.Ugly:When privately told of our experience and concerns, Owner threatened to contact VRBO and falsely accuse us of unfounded charges. What a shame.This property is a Works in Progress

Villa
Property was in "rough" shape with rubble & trash around, supposedly due to Hurricane Irma (7 years ago) but in 4 days workmen replaced walls around pool.

Our Private resort for a week
Casa Leone is a little private paradise. The view of St. Barts and Guana bay are the best. The property is very private even though your neighbors and the pool are only a few steps away. The accommodations are not perfect having weathered numerous hurricanes and the relentless wind and tide, but they are well cared for and perfectly functional. We appreciated the brand new A/C units, dual bathrooms, and an additional bedroom suit that would easily accommodate another couple or a small family if need be. There is a short walk to a 1/2 mile beach that is very private. Additionally there is a great hiking trail at the end that has great views of Back and Pelican bays. There are two very sweet dogs that were eager to accompany you on beach walks and greeted us when we returned in the evening. We enjoyed a quiet vacation with Philipsburg, shopping and great restaurants just two miles away. We would definitely recommend this property to family and friends.

Breathtaking View
This was our most peaceful and relaxed vacation ever! Frank, the Villa owner, was very accommodating and responded to all of our needs immediately. The view from our balcony and the pool was breathtaking. The people in the surrounding Villas that made up this little community were warm and friendly. We made many new friends during our 6 week visit and definitely intend to return next winter. There are so many things to see, places to dine, and adventures to be had on this island, that we can’t wait for our return next year!

Great Island Beautiful Property
My wife and I and our adult daughter spent a week here. The island was great. We rented a car and explored both the French and Dutch side. The house was a perfect place to base ourselves from. The ocean deck is the highlight where we enjoyed breakfast and evenings listening to the ocean. Frank is a great and responsive host. When we got there the charcoal grill needed to be replace and a new one showed up the next day. The neighborhood is quiet and a little bit off the beaten path and we enjoyed walking over to the beach as well. If you enjoy listening to the sound of the ocean this is the place for you.

Very nice setting
Our stay at Villa Leone was good. Frank was very attentive and responsive to us at all times. Place has a very nice setting at oceanside. Area is very quiet/residential and a car is needed. Good point to use as a launching place to visit the rest of the island.
Posting pictures are accurate, however place does require some upkeep and upgrades. We found it to be a little run down.

2wks at Villa Leon
Perfect for us, we actually closed up the second floor and only needed the first level. Villa has the basic necessities for independent travelers, provides great base station to go out and venture and return to a comfy place. We did not find an outside barby but made do with the inside gas stove/oven (we like to grill). We also didn't have access to laundry. Great location, 15min to Phillipsburg/Divi and 30 to 45min to the most Northern and Western aspects of Island. The pool is clean and inviting.

Wonderful
We had an amazing time at the Villa. Hearing the waves crashing every night and watching the sunrise every morning truly wonderful. The evenings are quite special on the bay. It was very quiet and peaceful and a great place to get away from it all.

Home base
Being centrally located we woke and chose which side of the island to go. The waves rythm on the shore made for restful sleeping.

Anniversary vacation
We have been coming to Guana Bay since 2009 but the condo we always rented was destroyed in by Irma. Fortunately Villa Leone survived & we stayed there. Condo was great - right on the ocean & fully supplied

Wonderful home-not touristy at all
This home is perfect for 4 people. (2BR-2Baths). The patio is roomy and literally right on top of the ocean. You cannot really swim in front of the house, but the views are spectacular. You can walk down to the sandy beach which is not too far away. This home is well-equipped and the decor is very nice. The pictures are accurate. Frank, the owner, was great to work with. SXM got hit with the most horrific hurricane in 2017. The recovery process is still ongoing all over the island. We would not go anywhere else in the Caribbean. The people are very friendly and the food is fabulous. "Big Fish" is one of our favorite restaurants in Oyster Pond, not far from the house. If you cross over the boarder to the French side, try "Bread & Butter" for bakery items, wine, cold food items, etc.
L'Oasis is right next door to Bread & Butter.... another great restaurant. You can try anything from pizza to fois gras.
37 beaches on the island, never enough time to explore!

Guana Bay retreat
The property is in the most amazing location and we were so fortunate to watch the Heineken Sailing Regatta from our patio or from the pool on the property. This is ideal spot for two couples and you won't be disappointed. Thank you Frank.

Excellent
My wife and I stayed here for 2 weeks and really enjoyed our time here. The property is away from the commotion of tourist and we found it easy to slip into vacation mode. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we could ask for, as we eat most meals in and prefer to make drinks and head to the beach or pool. I plan to stay here again and have already recommended the place to several people.

Oceanfront Paradise
We spent 4 weeks here and it was perfection. Each day started on the oceanfront deck (can’t get closer to the ocean!) with magical sunrises. Honestly the most amazing sunrises. And then a swim in the well maintained pool. We had the benefit of a full moon over the ocean one night as well. The Villa is clean, bed comfortable, plenty of towels and kitchen well stocked with everything we needed for a long stay. Frank was super responsive to any needs or questions we had. And Max was close by if we needed anything. We rented a car and explored every inch of the island. The Villa atmosphere was tranquil, quiet and serene. We hiked across Guana Bay Beach each morning to go on a gorgeous maintained trail next to the ocean. We went to many of the different beaches on both the Dutch and French sides of the island. We are filled with gratitude to have experienced Villa Leone and its magic! Thank you Frank!

Our visit
We had stayed at Frank's villa many years ago and with the hurricane we knew it would not be the same.The main issues we had were that the stove gas supply had not been turned on, but wasn't a big issue as we always eat out.
The hurricane doors were still screwed up tight upstairs so windows couldn't be open. The A/C in the upstairs quit on the 3rd day but will say Frank acted fast to having it repaired.
Frank was fair in dealing with the rental and the repairs as stated.
I would reccommend his villa
