Great rental!! Lots of restaurants, casino, Maho beach, store and shopping all right here. Plane arrival and departure views are spectacular. Lots to do and lots to see. Would happily rent again. Thank you!!

Perfect spot, Wonderful time
Len & Sip were amazing. Lovely people and provided terrific communication with any questions we had. The place was perfect, clean, comfortable and the view can not be matched. The Kitchen was fully stocked with anything we needed to make our meals. The grounds with the garden was stunning. Just Beautiful. A perfect location in the heart of Maho where all the action is! We loved meeting Len & Sip and thank them for renting their beautiful condo to Us ! Thanks Len & Sip- We will be back!!

We are happy that you liked it as much as we do ourselves.
The condo had all we needed. The view from the extra large balcony is better than the pics show. So fun watching the planes just “clear” the fence and the observation platform at the pool gives a great view of the entire runway. Yeah there is noise from the planes but brief and inside you can’t hear them at all. Trash receptacle and ice machine are just a short walk down the hall. Maho Beach is nice but highly recommend a day at Loterie Farm, a beach day at Mary Boons Hotel and Beach Bar, Orient Beach ( we loved Aloha Restaurant great food and free beach chairs and umbrella), BBQ or burgers at Mullet Bay Beach, and stop and eat at a local LOLO on the waterfront in Grand Case. Maho Village has easy walk to great restaurants ( the French one, Italian one and Steakhouse we loved). Grocery on first floor had all you could want, casino right next door- we highly recommend this place for couples- host is very responsive and we had zero issues with the condo. 5 STAR worthy you won’t be disappointed!

Disappointed in Maho Beach
We did not stay in the unit despite having paid full price for the week. The property description in the VRBO listing was true but it left out information that would have been helpful in choosing this particular unit. It is well located with a great view of the airport runway and a portion of the water. The only question mark for me with respect to the property description was the suggestion that there were two restaurants in the building. I couldn't find them!
The entire unit was in need of an investment in furniture, appliances, bedding and a fresh coat of paint as well as some minor changes to things like cupboard pulls and a deep clean.
The building hallways are dark and dingy. Better lighting and cleaning would go a long way to make that aspect of the building better.

I am sorry to read that you have been disappointed in Maho Beach. I presume that It all depends on one's expectations and budget. Maho Beach offers a very lively environment. Check it out by googling "restaurants Maho St. Maarten".
This property is exactly as described. It is a condo that is part of a three property resort literally adjacent to the airport. The Condo was clean and very comfortable. The ac worked great. It is within walking distance of a grocery, bars and some great restaurants. We didn't have a car and everything was convenient. The view off the terrace is spectacular. The kitchen facilities and appliances are very dated. They worked though. The stove top was pretty slow to heat. The pool area is lovely. It is only heated by the sun though. We were glad we took our shorty wetsuits as we are both swimmers and the water was chilly in December. Seeing planes land and take off is a big tourist attraction. The downside of being so close though is noise and jet fumes which got a little old. I think it is worse depending on which way the wind blows. It's quiet inside though. One other great feature was that you could use the fitness center at the Sonesta. Wifi Is available for a fee but worked fine. The owner was great to
work with and everything was smooth for arrival and departure. Having weekly cleaning was super.
We had been in February, but this was the best. We rented downstairs in February.
Len was by far the perfect Host and the unit had all the essentials, plus the view was great.
Great location , unit could use some freshening up but still comfortable , a/c was probably on its last leg per the maintenance people at the resort , excellent value for the money and would definitely rent again
Excellent communication with owner. We were able to check in early. Located in a great complex walking distance to beach and a variety of restaurants. Would stay again!
We were very comfortable at Len's condo. Parking was secure, great view, nice area to walk, plenty of restaurants, easy to make calls via wifi.... Hope to stay here next year.
We had a fabulous time in our unit. It was exactly as described and the owner was extremely communicative and helpful. The view from the balcony was postcard worthy. The proximity to a grocery, night life, the casino, and a wide variety of dining was excellent. It was a four minute walk to the beach and there was secure parking on site for five dollars a day. The internet connection was wonderful and worked throughout the resort. There is laundry on site and elevators throughout the building if you
don’t feel like walking stairs. Overall the resort was clean, secure, affordable, convenient, and very friendly. Five stars, would recommend.

Dear Alex,
It was a pleasure to share our apartment with you.
Kind regards,
Len
Good location easy access to school and shopping for supplies. Need car or taxi for shopping at larger stores for supplies. Apartment had everything you need and clean.
We arrived just 2 days before everything changed overnight due to the Corona virus. Our 31st wedding anniversary trip was nothing like we had planned. We were happy with our accommodations, the pool, the grocery store in the bottom of the condo unit and watching the airplanes land and take off over Mayo beach...BUT that all came to a screaching stop as everything shut down. The Prime Minister announced the airport would be closing to ALL flights from/to the USA. We were forced to leave 2 days earlier than scheduled and spent the whole day at the airport trying to get on ANY flight off the island. It was a nightmare!! Sadly we have not been able to recoup any overpayment thru VRBO, from Len or through the trip interruption insurance on our credit card. A pandemic is not covered and we understand everyone's position but it is hard that we took the loss. $$$ We truly hope someday to return to St Maarten and have a "Do over" minus Civic 19. We definitely will look into staying at Lens property again and highly recommend it.
