Crème de la Crème: Stunning views of Orient Bay! Grand piano. Kids welcome!
Welcome to villa Crème de la Crème! Enjoy wrap-around stunning ocean views. Bask in privacy and unparalleled beauty, while overlooking the long beautiful beach which is the envy of the whole island - Orient Bay. The peacefulness and privacy by the deck and pool are simply perfect.
The views to the west, to the north, and to the east are all different, and are all simply breathtaking. The sunrise over that ocean, morning after morning, is a gift to the early riser. Morning coffee never tasted so good anywhere else. The different kinds of sunrises, some misty, some golden, some with a brief gentle rainfall, some with mysterious low-lying clouds, well - it feels like every sunrise is different, each one a masterpiece! Watching sunrise reflected upon those 30 miles of ocean is a gentle two-coffee event, and is like beholding the slow-motion opening of a magnificent flower.
At the ocean, a 4-minute drive away, three different beachside resorts welcome you to enjoy their daytime hospitality along the mile and a half of white sand. You can swim and lounge all day by the ocean, or perhaps rent jet skis, sail a catamaran, kite ski, wind surf, play beach tennis, and the list goes on. Close to the ocean, seven outdoor restaurants, including French, Italian, Seafood and Thai, beckon you to explore their delicious and unique creations.
Upon arrival, you are greeted by our friendly staff, who keep the villa totally clean and attractive. Our hostess, Natesha is truly the 5th Star in our reviews. We get a lot of compliments because our kitchen and our villa have literally everything you need. Parking is for three cars.
Adult bedrooms are separated for extra privacy. Two or three couples travelling together enjoy the sense of not feeling "on top of one another". For example, the "Studio" bedroom, with a Queen bed, has a separate entrance, and a small romantic porch overlooking........paradise!
All three adult bedrooms have ensuite full bathrooms. Kid's bedroom is upstairs, with a bunk bed. The bunk bed will sleep two children, but is large enough to sleep two adults, instead. All bedrooms feature 1000-thread count Egyptian cotton linens, bamboo pillows, individual A.C., phone chargers, and electrical outlets for both U.S. and French appliances. You will be relieved that we have all the adaptors, transformers and phone chargers you need.
We provide all the "classic" board games. TV & Stereo are in the living room, and WIFI throughout. TV has 1500 channels, including Netflix. We also offer the use of a wonderful Samick baby grand piano. Life jackets, water wings, and noodles are provided for swimming fun. Executive-style Thermos jars and Lunch Containers keep your drinks and snacks fresh and cold as you drive around or stay on the beach. This is a gated property within a gated community, so your family is secure. With 2 ramps on the property, and 3 grab bars on the main floor, Crème de la Crème is partly accessible.

About the host
Hosted by Matt Pines
With three children all grown up and doing well, we chose to buy a luxury villa on our favorite Island, Saint Martin, in 2019. We were lucky enough to find a place with amazing and breathtaking views of Orient Bay.
Sailing is a major passion in this family, and here in Toronto, a Catalina 36 serves as our summer home. Tennis is another hobby we can't live without. Orient Bay offers us both sailing and tennis. We can rent a Hobie Cat any afternoon at the beach, from Emmanuel at SXM Wind Adventures. We can even sail to Pinel Island, which is a fabulous place to swim, imbibe drinks, and have seafood! In the mornings, we can play tennis, just seven minutes away at the American Tennis Academy: My kids have profited from great coaching with tennis pro Oliver Becaud. So this Island offers great weather, lovely people, and supports our sports addictions.
My eldest child is a 34 year-old, accomplished opera singer - a brilliant coloratura soprano, currently living in Berlin. My middle child is 27 years old, and is a property manager, in charge of 9 apartment buildings. My son is 25, and holds a bachelors degree from the Berkeley School of Music, as well as a bachelors degree from McGill University, major in international relations. He currently works for Crisis Group International, based in Brussels.
For many years, we have operated a luxury rental cottage in Ontario, known as "Sandy Shores Cottage", near Haliburton. We have 100 feet of waterfront on Eagle Lake, a
3-hour drive from Toronto. My staff and I have worked hard, for 25 years, to deliver a fabulous and well-equipped lakeside vacation to our customers.
We already had 22 years of vacation rental management, when we started Crème de la Crème. We are extremely lucky to have Natesha Wolfe and Marcellus Maturin as property manager and builder/fixer. The wonderful experience we offer would not be possible with them.

Why they chose this property
Villa Crème de la Crème is situated absolutely perfectly. It overlooks 50 or 75 nearby villas, but no villa overlooks us! Our place is perfectly private, and you can wear what you wish, or nothing at all, and it is nobody's business! Our guests treasure that freedom and privacy!
The views to the west, to the north, and to the east are all different, and all simply breathtaking. The sunrise over that ocean, morning after morning, is a gift to the early riser. Morning coffee never tasted so good anywhere else. The different kinds of sunrises, some misty, some golden, some with a brief gentle rainfall, some with mysterious low-lying clouds, well - it feels like every sunrise is different, each one a masterpiece!
Our driving time to the beach is four minutes, but we usually walk. It is 20 minutes to the beach on foot, and maybe a tad more coming back. The views are wonderful the whole way - tall palm trees, magnificent houses, 30 miles of ocean!
Saint Martin, the French side, is a tiny jewel in the Caribbean. The weather is perfect - not too hot. The social climate is very friendly, and we particularly relish seeing contrasting cultures working together, side by side, in harmony. The restaurants are the best anywhere, and the service is warmly welcoming and cheerful. The Island is small, which is great: you can drive around the whole place in an hour. You will adore all the little towns you visit, each one with its own flavour. The mountains are so gorgeous and dramatic, everywhere you drive. And - there are 37 beaches you can drive to on the Island!
Saint Martin offers sailing, tennis, volleyball, kite-skiing, zip-lining, live music, hiking, dancing, astoundingly good dining, and some of the nicest and finest people you will ever know.
