This place is exactly as described with wonderful views and easy direct access to one of the nicest beaches on St. Martin/St. Maarten. We also took the suggestion of the owner to use NoNo rental car and that was also perfect. Parking off the busy street might unnerve the timid, but is easily managed. The section of beach in front of the house is just a 5 minute walk to the busy bar/restaurant scene in Grand Case and the short distance makes it quiet and peaceful at night. Walking west on the beach to the point give access to a nice isolated slice of paradise you can often have to yourself. Being on the NW side of the island, Grand Case Beach is sheltered from the constant trade winds. I would certainly return to this apartment, which, for the nightly rate, seems like one of the better bargains on the whole island. The people were all quite friendly and even walking around town, and on the beach as late as 10 or 11 p.m., we never felt threatend or any unease.
