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.

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!

This place is Amazing.
We loved the Villa, it’s so comfortable and inviting. The villa is very quiet with a gorgeous beach view and just steps to the water. The location to anything you want to do is perfect. We will definitely be 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.

About the host

Hosted by Luke

Host profile image
A couple in their 50s which had the incredible luck to buy this small piece of paradise. Then our daughter Lavinia arrived on earth and we could not rename our place but with her name. We're glad to share it with our guests from all over the world.

Why they chose this property

Villa LAVINIA #9 is the perfect place to relax. If you want privacy we are the corner unit, no other guests passing by. If you want to share drinks and fun, we are 30 seconds walk from the common area with pool and long chairs. In a wider perspective the villa is on quite residential area of the town but in five minutes walk you are downtown with duty free world class shopping, restaurants and casinos. Just one mile from Marina with daily high speed service to St. Barth.
You can wake up in the morning sorrounded by nothing else than a perfect silence, have the breakfast in your ocean front private lanai, have a swim in the cristal waters of the bay, get sun tanned, refresh in our infinity pool and then in just 5 minutes you can be in the middle of the caribbean sparkling capital of shopping and world cuisine. Not to mention the other 36 beaches and more than 200 restaurants of the island... What are you waiting for?

What makes this property unique

Clean and 2018 renovated villa. A great property manager ready to help and suggest. A real hassle-free vacation.
