Having owned a much larger villa on the island for 23 years which I rented to a lovely and respectful group of guests, I recently sold it (too large for me to handle). It rated consistently 5/5 reviews. If you want to read any, I will share with you. Not wanting to leave the island, I bought a smaller studio condo in the upscale "center of everything" complex in the prestigious Simpson Bay Yacht Club in Sint Maarten/Dutch side of the island. Here it is!
I renovated, redesigned and replaced everything from the appliances (large and small), the decor, the lighting everywhere, furniture, bath and deck amenities. My open concept studio condo includes newly installed air conditioning system and fans with state of the art effectiveness, excellent WIFI, large screen Smart TV, new bathroom facilities, new electrical wiring, washer and dryer and dimmable lighting throughout.

My studio is located in the Simpson Bay Yacht Club is a safe, gated community on the Simpson Bay Lagoon with 24/7 guards for privacy/safety, a 2 minute walk to restaurants, medical offices, pharmacy, grocery stores, shoppes, bakeries as well as nightlife, beaches and much more.
Lots of storage for your clothes and bits and pieces.
All new decor and appliances.
Fully equipped spacious kitchen.
Washer and dryer
Iron and Ironing board
Elevator
Blackout drapes designed for sleeping.
Assigned parking
Supportive and responsive manager nearby
And, so much more.
Lots of French and Italian clothes shopping. The restaurants - gourmet capital of the Caribbean, French, Italian, North and South American and more. I found this condo in the best community in Simpson Bay and have provided, I believe, everything needed for me or my guests to stay without worries. Groceries might be all you need. Since the Simpson Bay Yacht Club is in the center of everything, you might not need a car although if touring is your preference to the French side for other restaurants and shopping, a car is a good idea. I have an assigned parking space outside.
Our island is fascinating, French and Dutch, gracious, multicultural (mostly from the U.S., Canada, certainly French and Dutch visitors as well as Western Europe) a welcoming, colourful island. Many languages spoken.
My local long time manager (Sylma) will be waiting for you to give you your keys as well as show you around and answer any questions you might have. Thereafter, both my manager and I are available if you need anything.
My "swing chair" on my deck is perfect for morning coffee or a glass of something delicious under the stars at night - or on your iPad or laptop. Island flowers, palm trees, aqua water and the boats cruising through the lagoon as well as the well lit and colourful bridge at night. No traffic noises or shouting - peaceful for sleep or relaxing.
