Peaceful beach house retreat

Staying at this breezy home was so relaxing and comfortable, our family of six loved it. Being on the French side is perfect for those who want to explore beaches, restaurants and rest. Rooms were comfortable especially with air conditioning at night and the covered patio was great for dining, reading and enjoying the views. We highly recommend this property and the thoughtful hosts.

Fantastic house!!

We couldn’t have been more pleased with the house and hosts. It was heavenly to wake up in the master bedroom with the panoramic view of Pinel Island and the breeze wafting through. Antoine and Sylvia left a few things in the frig to start our stay. And those banquet birds were so fun to feed! A glorious week!

Absolutely gorgeous property

The place is even better than described and pictured in the listing. Antoine’s artwork is amazing! Antoine and Silvie were there to meet us when we got there, they were super helpful showing us around the place and had given us some basic supplies for the next day’s breakfast which was amazing. The villa is gorgeous, with amazing views and love the ability to kayak to pinel island whenever you’d like! What a lovely week we had, I can’t wait to book again!

Winter paradise

We enjoyed our stay at Villa Blue Anchor, the neighborhood is fabulous - walking distance to a French bakery and great cafe! The views are spectacular - I could have spent the entire time at the VRBO and been satisfied to swim in the pool and kayak to Pinel Island. Our group consisted of three couples and the property has three bedrooms each with separate baths which was perfect. Sylvie and Antoine were very accommodating and provided great suggestions for restaurants and other activities. Antoine is an artist and we were pleasantly surprised to find his artwork for sale at the airport. I highly recommend this property and hope to return for another visit.

A little piece of paradise

We were celebrating my Mom’s 90th BD with my siblings. Everything were perfect from beauty of the villa and its tasteful design to beauty of the nature surrounding it. The beds were comfortable, place was spotless and we had all the necessities available plus what you don’t expect to see in rental villa like welcome drinks and breakfast in fridge. You just need your clothes, everything else is provided. Sylvie and Antoine are perfect hosts. They went far and beyond to make us comfortable. I recommend to everyone who likes original and artistic designs and nature to rent this place. While you can see birds and iguanas around you, they don’t enter the place.

Wonderful stay in Saint Martin!

We stayed with another couple - so four people total - for a week at this beautiful Saint Martin home. The house was well equipped with everything we needed, with a lovely pool and spectacular views. The house is open air in the main living areas, which does mean you may see some bugs or other little critters, but it did not bother us. The air conditioners in the bedrooms worked great and we were able to sleep very comfortably. Having kayaks accessible for the short (15min) paddle over to Pinel Island was one of our favorite things. We loved going over for lunch, looking out for turtles (we saw many in the harbor!) and just hanging out on the beach. Orient Bay and Grand Case are a short 5-10 min drive with great restaurants and beach clubs that we enjoyed. The hosts were very kind and responsive, providing us some breakfast items and cold beers (which were highly appreciated after the bumper to bumper traffic jam we waited in during rush hour from the airport!) Overall, we would stay here again and definitely recommend the home to others.

A charming slice of paradise!

This is a unique and stunning property that makes the most of its proximity to the bay and views of nearby Pinel Island. We loved that the house is so open and the seating and bedding throughout were both stylish and comfortable. Antoine and Sylvia greeted us when we arrived and were gracious hosts throughout, offering on-point recommendations for restaurants and other sites. Overall, the house and neighborhood is quite French, and we truly felt like we had a luxurious French Caribbean holiday. We hope to return!

Amazing week in paradise

It’s hard to believe, but the view was even more stunning than it is in the pictures. Antoine and Sylvie were perfect hosts, very attentive and connected us with things to see and do on the island. The villa is a fascinating blend between a tree house and a yacht, open air and breathtaking. Plenty of room for our three teenagers to have their own space and close enough to civilization to get groceries and supplies for the beach. The whole experience was fantastic.

A wonderful way to stay in French Cul de Sac

Our group had a wonderful time at Sylvie and Antoine's home in the beautiful north-eastern corner of Saint Martin. The property is very well appointed with all of the comforts of home and is only a short drive to a clean, bright and affordable grocery store. Pinel Island is only a fifteen minute kayak across a calm bay and has beautiful, sandy beaches. Or, if you'd rather a beach accessible by car, we spend a couple of days at Orient Bay Beach, only a ten minute drive down the eastern shore. When we arrived, we were warmly greeted by both Sylvie and Antoine, shown around the property (which is gorgeous) and definitely felt as if they were easily available if we had any concerns. This is definitely a place we would book again if we return to the island. Thank you so much for a wonderful week!

Paradise on earth

Our hosts Sylvie & Antoine let us know they would welcome us at the property and show us around (nice personable touch) We struggled a little to find the property due to a glitch on google maps so we contacted Sylvie who led us there in no time. Once at the property our jaws dropped. The house is simply gorgeous, has expansive patios with pool and the backdrop is spectacular. Waking up everyday with the view of a beautiful bay, peaceful sails anchored and Pinel island was just a dream come true! The house is well stocked and provides hotel quality linens and towels.There is an easy access to a small private beach area where the owners keep complimentary kayaks. The kayak ride to Pinel island is easy and fun. All and all we had an amazing week due to our hosts who were always available for our demands and the gorgeous place they own Thanks so much Sylvie and Antoine with the hope to see you again very soon!

best hosts ever!!

This villa is perfect for a family or group of friends. The location is great, near Super U grocery store and a great French Bakery. We ate dinner many nights in Grand Case, about 10 minutes away. Antoine and Sylvie could not be more gracious hosts! They were there and willing to help anytime we needed them and were always kind. Very interesting to talk with as well! The house has very comfortable beds, the bathrooms and shower have a great set up. The kitchen has just about anything you could want. We made many meals there and ate outside with the beautiful view. We spent many days just lounging on the many lounge areas reading, napping, and just hanging out with the family. Probably the most relaxing vacation ever! We did take the kayaks out to Pinel Island and it was a lot of fun! This time of year you'll want to use bug spray and the mosquito netting. If we ever return to St. Maartin, we would stay here for sure!

A wonderful week at Villa Ancre Bleu!

We had a superb 7 days at Ancre Bleu. Antoine and Sylvie greeted us upon our arrival and showed us all the wonderful features of their beautiful home. The breakfast supplies were also greatly appreciated to get us through until the next day. We spent a lot of time relaxing at Ancre Bleu, with our two boys really enjoying splashing about in the pool. Living virtually outdoors 24/7 was a real treat, especially after escaping a miserable Canadian winter. The location of Ancre Bleu makes accessing St Martin's beaches and towns easy. We highly recommend walking to Petites Cayes, which takes about 50 minutes but is a wonderful cliff walk with a glorious beach at the end. Wear good shoes though as the end of the walk sees some shingle to navigate. Sylvie and Antoine are gracious hosts and lovely people. Antoine visited a couple of times to say hello and make sure all was well, which was much appreciated. We will be back, for sure! Thanks again for your hospitality, Antoine and Sylvie!
