AMAZING! The apartment was exactly as described. It was clean, the balcony large, the location by the airport and Maho Beach was perfect for us, and the nearby grocery store and restaurants was convenient. The view of the airport and beach was stunning. Our communication with the owner was well received-they responded promptly and courteously. I highly recommend this stay.
Property is near everything! Lovely atmosphere. Hosts were amazing; very communicative and even provided a taxi driver to assist with navigation to other islands. I thoroughly enjoyed my stayed😁
My husband and I visited from Feb 6 - 13. We had a great vacation! Awesome views, quiet pool, and very comfortable studio apartment. We had a couple of electrical issues, but these were taken care of immediately and did not affect our overall stay.
The property was amazing. Everything listed was correct. Nice and clean and the communication between the owner was great. Will stay at this property again if its available next time I/we come.
Great hosts, super clean and comfortable. Walking distance to everything you need. Market 1 min walk!!! Yes you can watch the planes come and go but you would never know once inside!!!! Super quite!!! Beautiful pool too! Don’t miss out!
We have stayed here before but only in 1BR units. Although this is a studio, it was all we needed for 2 days. Joy was easy to contact and sent me a "handbook" before our arrival. Very helpful!
This was our third time staying on the island. It was by far the best location for a relaxing stress free vacation. Joy and Dale outline everything we needed to know about the condo and surrounding area along with transportation information. The condo had everything we could possibly need plus it was spotless! If you like to watch the jets arrive and depart in SXM, this is the place to stay. This was my husbands favorite part of the trip! My favorite part of the day was the sunsets - either watch from the observation deck or a short walk to the beach. There is a wonderful selection of restaurants within walking distance as well - great menus! The friendly staff on site made you feel welcome and their customer service was outstanding! We will definitely be back! Thank you Joy & Dale!
A perfect location for beaches and airplane watching
I would not hesitate to return to this complex or this specific vacation rental. It is in very close proximity and walking distance to both Maho Beach and Mullet Bay Beach. A bunch of restaurants within walking distance. There is Maho Market on the ground floor, but I recommend the full size grocery store at Carrefour Cole Bay. The grounds are very well maintained. The staff is very friendly and in an upbeat mood. The pool area is always immaculate. There was even a gardener working. A bunch of repeat visitors hanging out at the pool. One couple was visiting SXM for the 20th time, another group was visiting for the 7th time. The inside of the unit was very clean. Shower was hot and air conditioning was cold. The attached outdoor space is a really nice plus. TV has plenty of channels in the odd chance it actually rains. Lots of DVD's throughout several drawers. Bed and couch were comfortable. Absolutely loved the runway observation deck. Watching take-offs and landing was an evening pre-dinner tradition. Owner is very responsive. Parking was easy and very secure.
Check-in was very easy and desk attendant was very friendly. The unit was exactly as described and pictured and very clean. Loved the balcony looking onto the beautifully manicured lawn and onto Maho Bay. Also, loved the viewing area of the runway near the pool. Unit had everything we needed for our stay and was a great location for restaurants!
We had a great time and a wonderful vacation. Joy was very responsive to any requests for assistance and everything was as stated in the listing. We would absolutely recommend staying at Joy’s property and hope to again in the future!!
This is the second time we have stayed at this property. As with the first time, everything was fabulous. Great location and great room! Couldn’t ask for more!

A nice stay in a great location
The location and view are exceptional. The price was also a good value. Joy and Dale seem easy to deal with. If it wasn't for the extremely hard bed, we would probably look to rebook next year.
Rental was as described and an easy checkin process. I would definitely recommend a car rental if you plan to explore the island. There’s all kinds of stuff to see on the French side and travel times can be 30 min each way. Rental is central to everything, whether staying on the Dutch side or going to the French side or doing a day trip to another island. Our favorite beach was Grand Case and eating at the Lolos. Note you are right next to the airport, so you do here jets throughout the day, but it pretty much ends by 8pm.

Perfect
Everything perfect as every time I stay !!! Recommended 100% !!!
We totally enjoyed our stay in this unit. Everything you could possibly need or want is there. Don't think twice book it if it's available You won't be sorry
I did truly enjoyed the stay in that appartement. It is clean, fully equipped, internet is free, and tv as well, which is not the case everywhere on the island. The location is perfect. The communication
with the owner was easy and fluid. I would stay here again. I am truly grateful for that stay. Thank you 😊
Everything was perfect as it was last year. Great response time from owner with any questions. There has not been a problem with either of my stays. Will return if the unit is available when I can return.
This condo was exactly as described. We where pleasantly surprised with the restaurant options and grocery store in Maho, all within in walking distance. With 2 beaches near the condo that was big plus for us. Maho across the street and Mullet bay an easy 15 min walk. If we wanted to venture into Phillipsburg the $2 bus was a great alernative to a taxi. We would stay here again if we return to the area.
The apartment is centrally located in Maho Beach with a beautiful beach and airport observation deck view. There were several highly rated restaurants within walking distance. The area is very safe during the day and night. The condo is very clean both inside and outside. This is my second visit to this specific condo. Air conditioning was very cold. The inside of the apartment was very quiet. Pool area is really nice and well maintained. The owner was very easy to get in touch with and provided clear instructions for finding and accessing the condo. Very easy to drive to Orient Beach and several other beaches on the French side of the island. Really enjoyed the morning walks to Cupecoy Beach. The weather was perfect. A memorable vacation.
This property was just exactly like it presented on VROB. Joy was excellent prior to the rental and was very much involved after we got there. Communication was out standing. The staff said she was one of the best!!!
Location excellent with a lots of things to do. We totally enjoyed our stay on such a beautiful island!

This was exactly what we needed for our trip. The room was just enough for my partner and me. In close proximity to the beach, airport, and several locations to eat. The balcony faced the water and we were able to see planes come and go! The noise is not very loud at all. Joy, the host, was great! Joy was very quick and responsive and provided thorough information on the check-in and check-out process. Overall, we had a great experience!
Truly, love at first sight and sound!
You’ll not regret one second of your decision to stay here..super location, super cute studio on prime St Martin Maho Beach!
