Beachfront Villa LAVINIA #9 on Great Bay

SHOWN FARES ARE ONLY AVERAGE! ASK OWNER for a actual rate for your stay, customize your timeframe and real expense!

VILLA LAVINIA #9 is on the east edge of 'The Villas on Great Bay' complex, directly on the beach of Philipsburg, dutch capital of St.Maarten. We are a we are a small gated property with all night security guard.
We sit on a lovely beach, infinity beachfront swimming pool and breath-taking ocean views. This complex with on-site management service is the perfect place to relax around the pool or to just lounge on your private lanai or elevated deck overlooking our beautiful beach.

Unique of its kind, Villa Lavinia #9 is on the west corner of the complex, it means no one need to walk in front of your lanai, privacy and peace guaranteed.

On the ground floor: terrace on the beach with wooden floor, a partially shaded lanai to enjoy meals and drinks in front of the ocean and a small side garden with hot water outdoor shower (it's the only villa of the complex so featured) and a gas barbecue; inside there's a spacious living room with sofas and armchairs, flat 52" Smart Tv with HBO. A comfortable queen sofa bed adds 2 sleeping places. Two steps lead to the dining area with a big round table and four chairs. Finally a brand new kitchen fully equipped with stainless steel appliances, dishwasher, a big fridge with ice maker, microwave, coffee machine and blender. Recently we fully re-stocked with dinner ware, cooking supplies and bar accessories. For guest convenience there is also a half bathroom.

On the upper floor: one ocean bedroom (queen bed) with private deck over the beach, one garden bedroom (king bed, ocean side view), each one with modern bathroom renovated with walk in shower. Basic soap, toilet paper, towels and hairdryer provided. Each bedroom is equipped with ceiling fans, Smart Tv and air-conditioning unit.
Beach towels are also provided.

Getting Around:

The Villas on Great Bay complex is on the west side of Great Bay Beach. Few steps away you can find shops, fine restaurant and casinos. All these in the newly renovated areas of Front Street, and the new 'Promenade', the beach boardwalk.

Just around the corner are two small grocery stores for convenience shopping and they will carry your purchases to your villa. There are many supermarkets to choose from if you choose to dine at home, but St. Maarten is the gourmet capital of the Caribbean, with 245 restaurants to choose from, ranging from the totally casual to top-of-the-line gourmet dining.

There are 2 ATM's within walking distance from the Villas, 770 meters or 1/2 mile, that accept most credit and debit cards. Cash is dispensed in US Dollars or Guilders on the Dutch side and Euros or US Dollars on the French side. A tip... Notify your bank that you will be using your credit/debit card in Dutch St. Maarten/French St. Martin before you leave home. This will prevent your card from being blocked by your bank for security reasons.

Remember we can help you with recommendations and reservations, and also arrange a car rental for you, if you wish, to explore the rest of the island, including the charming French side, and the 37 gorgeous beaches the island has to offer. We would also be happy to arrange activities and excursions for you, such as a day sail to a desert island with lunch and drinks included. If you want a quieter, stay-at-home sort of holiday, our lovely infinity pool and patios right on the beach are the perfect place to park yourself and read a good book.

Wally, our on-site property managers is ready to provide assistance, recommendations, car rental and directions.

Beautiful getaway

The villa was perfect for our family of 4 including our teenage daughter and infant son. We were walking distance to great restaurants and markets to pick up food to cook at home. There was a fully equipped kitchen. The property manager was super accommodating with any requests.

Great villa and location

Wally was wonderful to work with. He was communicative and helpful before, during, and after our stay. The villa is comfortable, and the small market close by makes it convenient if you want to cook a meal for yourself. It was lovely being able to use the pool, head down to the beach, rinse off in the shower outside, and dry off on the patio.

Amazing beach condo

The beach just outside the condo doors was amazing. The pool is small but never crowded. The condo was clean, had a well stocked kitchen and comfortable living room and dining areas (inside and out). The condo is at the far end of the complex so the deck area is private and quiet. A charcoal grill is provided if you want to BBQ. The condo is walking distance to groceries, bars and restaurants which was really nice. We initially thought the unit had it's own washer and dryer but we have now clicked further into the amenities listed and see that it does mention that there is a community washer/dryer available for a fee. Overall, we had a lovely vacation. The property manager was very helpful and friendly and the owners were extremely kind and accommodating when we had unexpected changes to our booking prior to arrival.

Loved my stay at the Villas at the Great Bay - I 100% will be back !!!!! Wally was always available and answered all questions very promptly- he even will help you with reservations !!! The villa it self was amazing - literally zero complaints - easy to find - easy to navigate- Very close to the boardwalk, but far enough where you have lots of privacy- the villa and the property is very clean and the pool was great as well - I will define back for sure !!! Oh and the preferred rental Company was a BREEZE

A slice of paradise

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The property and the unit was perfect. We strolled into town each day and loved mingling with the locals. The market across the street was very convenient and their freshly baked breads were fabulous. Wally, the local contact was very nice and helpful. We will definitely be back someday.

Overall Great Experience

Probably the most private villa on the property, at the end, so no one walking by your patio, private entrance and shower in the garden breezeway. Very comfortable, had everything we needed, and the owner’s information ahead of the stay gave us great insight into the area before we even got there. Wally the property manager was great and really made sure iur stay was perfect. Can’t wait to come back!

Great Vacation

Overall this is a great place to stay. The Villa is in a great location, right on the ocean, and a short walk to the boardwalk in Philipsburg. The only two issues were that the pool was not working properly during our stay, and the beach in front of the property is not cleaned like other areas of beach in Philipsburg. This was not a big deal for us, but is worth mentioning. We would definitely stay at this property again.

Not wonderful as rated in VRBO listings

Property manager was friendly. The property overall decor and aesthetics were not good and needed updating. The bathroom was the only room that seemed recently updated. The TV was difficult to operate and there was no help with it. The Wi-Fi worked well. The beachfront area was not clean with lots off seaweed. There were dogs barking throughout the night around the property. No umbrellas for outdated beach chairs. Thank goodness for other nearby beaches to visit.

Location, convenience and comfort

We couldn’t have chosen a better place to stay on St. Martin. The unit is roomy and comfortable and you can’t get any closer to the water. A short walk to Phillipsburg for food and drinks and convenient to other areas of the island. You’ll get a kick out of Wally the property manager. Wally is knowledgeable about the area and was attentive to our needs. The owner, Luca, makes sure that you have everything in the unit you will need for enjoying your stay.

Peace and Relaxation

Both the location and the villa were outstanding. We were just steps to the ocean from our villa. A short walk down the beautiful and picturesque beach, we connected with the Great Bay Boardwalk. From here we had access to excellent restaurants and boutiques. The villa was comfortable, clean, and met all our needs. Wally, the on-site manager, provided excellent service in that he touched base with us daily. He was an excellent source of information about the area and the island.

Needs work. But so does the entire Village. Insects in the kitchen. Beach was littered with dogs and droppings. If you have a beach front property the beach is also your responsability. so at best 3 stars
