Unfortunately I cannot recommend this apartment because of numerous problems. I spent a month at an apartment in Anse Marcel, then a month at this one. Everything at the former was better, and at 20% less cost.
The owner has a local manager who is not very good. We waited for 20 minutes upon arrival (with groceries) for him to look at his phone messages and meet us. The safe needed batteries, which took them 5 days to deliver.
The location is in Mt. Vernon, a large apt. complex which was formerly a hotel. It's at the north end of the Orient Beach, which is not very nice as it is buried in algae and undeveloped. A 15+ minute walk will bring you to the popular area with many chairs for rent, bars, restaurants, and a good little market. In winter the area can be very windy and the surf can be tough for most people. We chose to go to the S. end of the beach, past the main nude area; this had very calm waters and was not very crowded. Mt. Vernon was severely damaged with the hurricane in 2017 and still is not well repaired (similar to most of the island). The buildings are not well built nor maintained (we had a terrible water leak from upstairs). A big problem is that there are many rentals with crazy or transient people. On New Year's eve, the young person in the apt opposite and below was screaming for a long time, then threw a big rock up at our balcony at my wife, narrowly missing her and the window behind. Another woman nearby howls many nights for hours.
The apartment is closer to being a hotel than a normal apt. The kitchen is only adequate for basic cooking, with a tiny microwave, 2 small burners, and a (not so bad) tiny portable oven. The pans are very cheap and damaged, with everything second-hand quality. I cut my finger trying to chop a carrot with the so-dull knife. There are no beach towels or chairs, but there is a vacuum. The bath is fine except the sink is terrible for shaving. The dining chairs and table are outside, which was not a big problem except for mosquitos. They provided soap, dish soap, TP, but not laundry soap. The bed with mosquito net is very nice and comfortable. Internet is good.
The question I think of with a vacation rental is: would I want to live here? For this one, it is definitely no. At Anse Marcel, I might say yes.
