For us, this was a great location. Walking distance to the main area of Grand Chase for plenty of dining options and a bit of shopping. Only 20-30 minutes drive into Marigot and Philipsburg for a busier experience. We were pleasantly surprised to hear NO traffic noise from our room. The beach to the rear, which our balcony overlooked, was lovely. Calm water, plenty of luxurious, soft sand. Bonus is that you can walk into town on the beach and avoid the traffic in front as the roadside walk can be a bit treacherous with lacking or narrow sidewalks and traffic. The unit was Caribbean basic, but extremely clean and met all our requirements. The bed was particularly comfy as we prefer a firm mattress. The outdoor kitchen has the essential cooking utensils, but keep in mind there is no oven, only a small cooktop and microwave. The blender was a bonus for our morning protein shakes. The fridge is small, but adequate, just don't make a huge shopping trip. On that note, Super U grocery is similar to US grocery stores and is only a couple miles down the road and will provide everything you need. Closet space and hangers are limited, so plan on shelves and draws for clothing. We were able to secure parking in the lot in front of the building for the entire week, but I imagine that could be a challenge if all units were occupied, so plan ahead. On that note, the smaller the car you rent, the better! We'll definitely be back!!
