10/10 experience and one of our favorite vacations!

First, the house is spotless, modern and spacious with stunning views of the ocean. It feels like a new home, its beautifully decorated and had alot of extras like a cinema room, a full size private pool, high end toiletries, coffee and espresso makers, and housekeeping mid-stay. The host, Leslie was so responsive and helpful leading up to our trip and we asked her SO many questions. She went out of her way to ensure we had a wonderful trip. We took alot of her suggestions for dining and things to do and they were spot-on. There was a lovely welcome basket when we arrived. In my opinion the location of this house on the island is really ideal. Its a close drive to restaurants, shops and activities but located in a high-end, residential gated oceanside community. The beach is within view and a short walk from the house and there is a lovely waterside restaurant on the beach. The concierge who met us at the house, Chris was super friendly and helpful as well. We loved watching the cruise ships pass by in the early evening while sipping wine at the outdoor dining patio. Lovely house, Lovely host, Lovely experience.

Relaxing

First thing when you walk thru the front door is the amazing view straight out the back of the property of the and Caribbean Blue ocean. First trip to St Martin and so worth it. Some of the best food in the Caribbean. The ocean is just a few steps and the 80 degree water was just great. Beach bar/restaurant less than 5 minute walk. House was immaculate very comfortable. Leslie was great to work with and concierge Chris was attentive. We like to visit different island but would consider a repeat vacation. Thank you for a great week

Wonderful setting and great host!

We loved Villa Amaya...we booked it because of the beautiful location, and it was a bonus that the owner played a big part in overseeing our stay. We had a concierge on site that was very helpful,too! We were given great suggestions on where to eat and things to do. The villa is very clean and well-kept, and we loved the beautiful view and the private pool. The beach down below has a great restaurant and umbrella/chair rental with on-the-beach waitservice. Super convenient! You can walk to the beach or take a short drive down the hill and park. The swimming was great and the water was calm. We also liked that we were in a gated neighborhood. Very quiet and peaceful! It was the perfect week of relaxation! We want to visit again soon!

Very Relaxing and Quiet

We just returned from a great two weeks on St. maarten. First week was a Simpson Bay and second was at this place. It is very beautiful, well appointed and the owner takes care of the place. Luc was on-site and was helpful with any issues we had. The kids loved movie night downstairs in the tv room. We loved the little restaurant down on the water.

Glorious and Amazing!

We have been going to Sint Maarten every year for the last 5 years and this was the best vacation rental experience we have ever had. First off, you rent directly from the owner, rather than a rental agency or a property manager, and the difference really shows. Leslie the owner really cares about both her guests and her home. The home was beautiful, has everything you need, the view is spectacular and it was immaculate! The owner left a welcome gift which was unusual and appreciated. We were not expecting housekeeping midweek but we got it. The big private pool was fantastic, the movie room had all the streamers like Netflix and Prime and DVD's of about 100 great movies or new tv series which we watched with the 'kids' (20 year olds) at night after we came in from dinner. There was good internet throughout the house. The owner was so responsive to our questions leading up to the trip. The house is super well located, close to restaurants, the supermarket and activities. We really enjoyed sitting in the outdoor dining area for coffee in the morning and cocktails in the evening and were treated to see some beautiful cruise ships go by. Luc the concierge was also great, he greeted us and the home and we helpful with recommendations on dining and water sports. Great experience. When we come back next year, this is where we will be staying. I'd give a sixth star if I could! Look no further.

Paradise found

We loved our one week stay at Villa Amaya. Indigo Bay is a small, pristine oasis. The unit is so clean, brand new and even lovelier than the pictures. The kitchen is well stocked. We were a ten minute drive from lots of restaurants and attractions. We loved snorkeling in the bay and eating at the little beach restaurant. We’ll definitely be back.

Blown away! Fantastic villa

Wow! From the moment we pulled into Indigo Bay we felt like we stumbled on the best place on earth. Gorgeous setting, spectacular ocean views, awesome location. It is near enough to everything you would need, restaurants, supermarket, shopping and beaches, but this enclave is a serene, horseshoe shaped bay is full of upscale homes and natural beauty. Gosh- the ocean views will take your breath away. Everything about Villa Amaya itself is top notch, from the views to the furniture, the space, the amenities. We appreciated the small touches like 3 coffee machines (drip, keurig and espresso) and the robes and toiletries. Our two teenage kids loved loved loved the movie room- every night after dinner we would find a netflix choice or select from the 100 DVD's of movies and tv shows that the owner provides. The home was modern and pretty, very clean, well equipped and exactly as pictured. With so much to offer we felt like this villa was a terrific value too. The views to the turquoise ocean from the living areas, outdoor dining space, the bedroom area and the pool deck is really beautiful. My husband and I enjoyed our morning coffee and our evening glass of wine on the outdoor dining patio looking at the ocean and feeling the ocean breezes. Leslie, the owner was helpful and super responsive to all my questions leading up to our stay. Her representative on the island, Luke was a great source for dining recommendations and activities. Thank you for an incredible stay.

Glorious vacation at Villa Amaya!

We couldn’t be happier with our choice to stay here! The home is beautiful, spotless and just like the photos and we quickly discovered it is perfectly located. Everything is within a 5-20 min drive with so much within a 10 min radius. Indigo bay itself is a quiet, high end gated community with 24 hour security on site. Although the listing mentions that there is construction going on in the broader area, we were never disturbed by any and had none that we noticed within earshot or eyeshot. The views of the ocean and surrounds from the Villa are gorgeous. The owner Leslie was very attentive and communicative leading up to our check in. She answered all questions promptly and gave us some terrific recommendations for dining and shopping. Luc, the on-site manager was great and helpful as well. The housekeeping visits during our stay was a bonus. Loved the large lap pool at the home and we used the movie room a few nights as well. Everything was just as advertised if not better. Highly recommend Villa Amaya. We hated to leave.

This is my family’s second year of staying at Villa Amaya, and it was just as fantastic as our first visit in 2021. The property is gorgeous, clean and comfortable. The pool is fantastic and very inviting. We wouldn’t change a thing, and we hope to return again next year.

A little bit of heaven

What a wonderful place! From the moment we started to book Villa Amaya, to the lead up to our stay, our time in the Villa everything was first rate. We travelled with our adult children and their partners and all 6 of us found the Cilla to be exceptional. It is well appointed with everything one could possibly need, From the cleanliness to the kitchen amenities, to the added touch of robes in every bathroom it was a week of paradise and luxury. The view out over the water afforded a calm and seeing the boats and cruise ships pass was great. A short walk to the beach where the sea was easily entered and the beach kept clean, with the bonus of a lovely restaurant right there. Luc, the concierge was always available and very friendly. Like everywhere on the Island, a car is needed. With cleaning twice over our 8 night stay it made this such a wonderfully relaxed vacation. We would highly recommend Villa Amaya for a luxurious, relaxing and wonderful stay, Until next time ...

Incredible views and fantastic house

The house is in Indigo Bay, which is in a gated community outside Simpson Bay. It has a private pool and is less than 5min walk to the beach. At the beach is an outstanding restaurant for either lunch or dinner. We needed a pack and play for our son to sleep and Leslie made that happen. Also, Luc who oversees the property is great. He checked us in and was available for questions and recommendations. Place is great for families or 2-3 couples. highly recommend if you want incredible beach view and relaxation.

He provided great recommendations for the island from restaurants to try to places to visit and explore. The villa was immaculate with gorgeous views, and in the best location on the island.

About the host

Hosted by Leslie Gold

Host profile image
I'm Leslie Gold, the owner of this property. I'll be glad to give you any information you might want to know about the property, the location or St. Maarten in general.

Why they chose this property

My husband and I built this property to enjoy ourselves for the handful of times during the year we are able to get away. It's beautiful. In between, we offer it for a few vacation rentals for those folks that would appreciate the breathtaking views, the sophisticated decor, amenities and fantastic location. We work hard to provide guests with a consistently excellent experience.

What makes this property unique

Brand new modern villa with high end finishes and sophisticated decor. Amazing setting, with breathtaking views, private pool, private cinema room and superb location. Close to everything. Villa Amaya's location strikes the perfect balance between offering a private, gorgeous setting for the home itself, but offering proximity to restaurants, shops, supermarkets, attractions and entertainment.
