About this property

Beautiful beachfront at The Villas On Great Bay

This two-bedroom, three-bath villa is situated right on Great Bay Beach in a small complex of twelve individual villas with a lovely beachfront swimming pool and breathtaking ocean views. This gated complex with on-site management is the perfect place to relax around the pool or to just lounge on your private lanai or elevated deck overlooking our beautiful beach. It is remodeled inside and out with new furniture and king beds. There are security cameras for your safety located in the common areas on the property, including the pool.

The location is ideal because it is on the opposite side of Great Bay from the bustling Philipsburg Cruise Port, so you can enjoy the wonderful views of the cruise ships' comings and goings without the crowds! There are as many as six cruise ships in port at one time, and watching them is a favorite past-time of just about everyone who stays at our complex.

There are endless activities available in St. Maarten/St. Martin and the surrounding islands if you are interested in something other than vegging out on our gorgeous beach or beachside pool and patio.

Recently remodeled: Tastefully decorated with new beds and bedding (600 thread count silky sheets!), sleeper sofa, and living room furniture. All 3 bathrooms were remodeled, with the 2 private upstairs bedroom baths each having new showers and rain shower heads with handheld shower wands. A new viewing deck is available through patio doors from the ocean side bedroom, which overlooks the beach, ocean, and cruise ship dock.

The kitchen was remodeled, including a new stove, full-sized microwave, dishwasher, refrigerator, plenty of cabinet space, and tile. It is fully stocked with dinnerware, cooking supplies, spices, a blender, a coffee pot, a toaster, and bar accessories. There are even little drink umbrellas waiting just for you!

Short walk to everything: There is a local convenience store a half block away for last-minute necessities. Your favorite restaurants, shops, piers, and people watching are just a short 5-10 minute walk down the beach or boardwalk. This is one of the best locations on the island as you can have peace and quiet when you want it or walk just a few minutes to all the shopping, restaurants, and beach activity your heart would ever desire. For longer stays, house cleaners are available at an additional cost. Toilet paper and paper towels are provided, but you should bring your own bar soap and shampoo.

About the host

Hosted by Doug Kinsinger

Host profile image
This is a picture of my wife, myself and our two sons. We live in Topeka, KS and love going to warm beach weather. We love sharing with our guests what we have learned about all the activities, shopping, and wonderful food on the island. We have been going to St. Maarten for over 25 years and decided that this was the perfect location to keep coming back to. It is the perfect location as the access to the beach and town cannot be beaten. You are a short walk or drive away from grocery stores, restaurants, and shopping.

Why they chose this property

We discovered St. Maarten over 25 years ago and this villa almost 12 years ago. We know you will enjoy this beautiful location with great views of the ocean and a short convenient walk to shopping, beach activities, restaurants, and ice cream shops! We're proud of our vacation property and enjoy sharing it with our guests.

What makes this property unique

It has a beautiful infinity edge pool five feet from the beach! There is a laundry facility accessible on-site to our guests. Wally, our manager, can source fresh lobster, caught that morning, for you and grill it for you that evening. Our villa is stocked with everything you would typically have at your home. the location is the most unique asset as the beach is beautiful and very low foot traffic so your view and usage is not impeded.
