Menavia is essentially sharing her home with you in Many ways, and it is arguably the best deal on the island. It is located up the hill in the Dutch Cul'd sac between Phillipsburg and Simpson Bay and is literally 10 minutes drive from each, I timed it. They say you should have a car anyway even the remotest place on the 49 Square mile island are less than an hour away. Her place is in a very quite neighborhood and is incredibly comfortable. She offered us a bottle of wine from her cellar, referred us to great car rental agent, recommended dining, she just can't do enough for you. I am a new VRBO owner (Browning Mansion in Utah ski country) and I aspire to providing the kind service Menavia does. We rented a sailboat with a group and after our trip some of the crew rented a room at the Simpson Bay resort for $175 per night in the off season and it wasn't anywhere near as comfortably or as well appointed, so we contacted Menavia again and she allowed us to stay another two nights at the end of our trip and our friends might have been a little jealous as they visited us here. Your hostess provides beach blankets, towels, ice chests, no cost laundry, efficient Kitchen and dining area with all necessities, huge bath with shower and Jacuzzi tub and a very generous bedroom suite with a queen and single bed, computer wifi, printer, and magic jack phone for no cost calls. She has well deserved her super host status. I would hope to stay here every time I return to St Martin.
