Nice rental

The owner of this property and the property manager both went above and beyond to make sure our stay was great. We really appreciate their efforts! Property offers great privacy for couples, as each bedroom was kind of a standalone casita. The pool area is beautiful.

Fabulous place to vacation

We were so impressed by the whole process from being greeted at the airport, to arriving with some drinks and snacks for us, to having Marinka close by to assist if we needed anything. The owners and Marinka went out of their way to make sure we had a great experience. The view was amazing and the house set up was perfect for us with the college aged kids. I can’t recommend this property enough. We will be back.

Fabulous Villa- Islandtude

Our stay was wonderful. The villa is absolutely amazing. The villa is furnished with very comfortable seating along with a very comfortable king size bed. The host provided treats for n us to begin our stay and was most helpful as to where to shop and eat. Once we arrived, we didn’t want to leave. Hung out at the pool most days and watched planes land and take off while in the pool. Felt like this place was all we needed and didn’t make it to the beach except for 1 day. No neednto go anywhere when you stay at Islandtude!

We had a great family vacation

My husband and I traveled with 4 kids 17-25 and my mom. We loved that we all had our own bedroom and bathroom. The views from the house were fantastic. We were met at the airport and the house was stocked with beer, wine and soda. We had a car and we ate at restaurants all over the island. The host recommended a bunch! There is a grocery store nearby where we bought breakfast food and snacks. Such a great trip!

Beautiful Villa

Our visit to St. Maarten and our stay at Villa Islandtude was wonderful! We have never stayed at a vacation rental that prestocks with beer, wine, soda, snacks, etc. What a nice way to begin the vacation! You cannot beat the views from the villa! The property manager is very responsive if needed. With everyone having their own ensuite room, you just cannot beat this Villa! We look forward to our next visit!

I can’t say enough about this villa! We had 5 couples and we were all extremely overwhelmed by the beauty of this place. It was a perfect spot, very private and really had it all. The host should be very proud of this gorgeous villa! I can say for all 10 of us we would not hesitate to rent this again. The supplies that we were given to start off our week was so very generous, from drinks to snacks plus all the necessities you needed for a great vacation. The rooms were all lovely, clean and did not disappoint. The pool and patio area was just stunning, mats for pool and lots of chairs for all of us. The views were spectacular, with lots of wildlife to look at. I would love to come back soon.

Best sunset on St. Marteen

7 of us had an incredible week at Villa Islantude! The pool and patio area are the best, everyday we wanted to get back for happy hour at the Villa. The house is perfectly laid out so you never feel crowded, we easily could have had 4 more adults with us.. Sunsets were spectacular. It’s in a great location and easily accessible to Simpson Bay nightlife. Also went to Maho Beach (5 min drive) and Orient Beach (about 20 min drive)-plan to spend a day in this area- great beach and restaurants/shops. The Flying Dutchmen is about 12 min drive. Russell, the host, is incredibly helpful with information ahead of the visit. Also, one of the easiest VRBO departures we’ve ever had-you basically just walk out the door. We’ll be back for sure!!

Best VRBO host

The property is beautiful and centrally located. The real MVP is the host of Islandtude, Russ. He messaged months before the recommendations and our preferences. He had someone meet us at the airport and show us around the house for the first time. The house was stocked with drinks and snacks the first day. We had a TV not working and he had someone out within 2 hours to fix it. We loved that everyone had their own en-suite. 5 stars. The most amazing trip. The best house for a group.

Excellent Stay!

This villa hosted our first family vacation, with our noe adult kids and their spouses. This villa is amazing; the view, the pool, the fully stocked kitchen, welcome gifts, wine, snacks, AC...it was truly a pleasure calling this place home. The host was our hero when our previous rental cancelled on us. Sheryl helped us into the home after meeting us at the airport. This was great, as we've found it difficult to locate previous rentals on the island on our own. The property mgr was easy to get in contact with. Our family enjoyed playing cards and having drinks, after exploring the island during the day. There were a few small hiccups that were very quickly resolved. The beds were too hard for me and my husband, however some of the group were big fans! We wouldn't hesitate to stay again, Thanks Russ!

Speechless

From the time of booking until the time of check out, everything was phenomenal. The host were very accommodating. They set us up with everything that we could possibly need for our stay. The property is well maintained, spacious,with the best view imaginable. Its located in a gated community with 24 hr security. Minutes from the airport, Marigot, The Strip were the nightlife is, Grocery markets....so much. We were so gracious for the amenities and the host that we wash all of the towels, clean every dish and the fridge. All of the apartments had views with the exception of one but it was the second biggest unit. We definitely had to have a rental car for the stay if you wanted to venture. I would recommend this place and will be returning to it for another visit. We are 10 minutes from Maho, Mullet Bay and Marigot...depending on traffic. Pleasantly pleased.

Holidays at islandtude

The villa has spectacular views of Cole Bay, Simpson Bay and SXM airport. The villa is dated exudes authentic island living. While it does require some care, it was clean, comfortable, safe and our home away from home. The villa pool is lovely, but does not come with jacuzzi (no jets). The maintenance and housekeeping staff were very friendly and quick to respond to our plumbing and tech issues. Would be great to have a big comfy sectional couch to accommodate large families, who enjoy watching movies together at night. If you or so EP e in your group has mobility issues, then this villa will be problematic as the only entrance requires taking steep steps up and down. Otherwise check out villa Islandtude conveniently located close to shopping, fine dining, island excursions and airport. We enjoyed our holiday at Islandtude. Thanks Russell and Marinka.

Another great week at Islandtude

+++ great location and one of the most spectacular views on the island. Resort is spacious and the pool is great. It was our second stay here and we had a wonderful time. - - - there is a fairly steep set of stairs up to the home and if you have problems with steps, you may want to rethink staying there. A few items which should be addressed. 1. The safes did not work and really need to be replaced. 2. The door locks on the bedroom doors, which all face the pool, do not work so you can’t really secure them when you leave. 3. The hot tub heater does not work. All that being said we all would go back to Islandtude tomorrow. You’ll have more fun than you have ever had on vacation.

Truly Magical!

The Villa and our stay was absolutely perfect. The moment you step off the plane Marinka is there to ensure you are well taken care of. From the very spacious accommodations, all the extras they provide, the privacy and that FABULOUS view there was nothing not to love about this property. They provide more drinks and snacks than we could go through in 10 days. All the basics are provided from toiletries to kitchen essentials. It's centrally located and everything you need is close by. My husband and I loved watching the monkeys swing through the trees in the morning and the indescribable sunsets in the evening. The owner recommended places to watch the sunset but we don't think there was a better view than from the patio. I can't say enough about how comfotable and special we felt the home was, 10 days wasn't enough and we are already trying to figure out a return trip! *It's also notable that it is very well set up for groups as the rooms are all their own separate areas, very spacious and private. Each having their own desirable features.

Great Place to Stay for our Family of 10!

Our family had a great time staying at this house for our vacation. The communication with the owner before hand was fantastic. He went out of his way to give us recommendations. Since we were a large group we wanted to have a bunch of restaurant reservations in place and Russ was extremely responsive and helpful. The staff was great including Marinka who met us at the airport car rental and a housekeeper who came as often as we wanted and a maintenance man for any issues that arouse. The supplied beer, wine, soft drinks, and snacks was very generous and held us over until we got to the grocery store on day 2. The view from the pool is fantastic. We spent a lot of time at the house hanging out by the pool. The house is very convenient to the airport, grocery store, and the beaches and restaurants at Simpson Bay. We also went to the French side several times for the beaches and restaurants. Overall, the value of this place was just tremendous when you factor in the personalized care and the price we paid. I'm sure there are more luxurious places on the island, but who wants to pay three times the price or more? We had a great time and would definitely return here.

Great place for a relaxing vacation

One of the most beautiful properties I have seen. We have been to SXM many times but this has been the most relaxing vacation we have had there. The staff was great and attended to the small issues we had quickly. The house everything you need and the refrigerator was stocked with beer, sodas and snacks when we arrived. The first morning when we sat around the pool for coffee, we were welcomed by two wild monkeys who sat on a rock overlooking the house. (If you go, remember that the monkeys are wild, and not pets.) I have been coming here for over twenty years and this is the first time we have seen them . The view from the pool is fantastic and looks down at the airport. I highly recommend “Islandtude” but I should warn you that there is a steep set of steps up to the home and they can be a little slick when wet. Parking can also be a challenge and you may want to rent the smaller cars. All in all our group of three couples had a great time and did not really want to leave the property. Thank you Russell and Bev. It was great and we are already thinking about next year.
