"Perfect stay"

"Chris was the best! He was always available and oriented us to the house. Our housekeeper Lucy came everyday (Sunday off) to refresh- we had an 11 month year old so crawling over daily cleaned floors was great! We had the best time & the house truly gave our family the best situation- all bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms. The pool overlooking the beach w/direct access is gorgeous & all the kids cld play in it at their own level plus a great lap pool too. . There are views from most rooms & all common areas. The beach is Atlantic so big waves & very walkable. Amazing trails nearby but you need to research them. We had beach seaweed but it was being cleaned when we left early December. You need a car definitely.Exploring the Caribbean beaches was great & you can reserve chairs in advance. We will return!"

"We were more than pleased with our stay at Villa Hibiscus! This was our first trip to Sint Maarten and we could not have picked a better spot. The host, Chris, was very accommodating and helpful during our stay. He made the whole process of arrival and departure so easy and was available to help throughout our entire vacation! We hope to return again and stay at Villa Hibiscus!"

"Wonderful private site off the busy areas. Right next to the pool and quick walk to a beach that was almost deserted MostOf the time. Only twenty two minute drive to our favorite beach at orient bay. Would love to go back, maybe next year."

"Good:Beautiful deck, ocean view and steady windsNew appliances (stove and dishwasher)Nicely furnishedPictures, for the most part, accuratePrivate, isolated settingResponsive owner - quickly addressed multiple problemsBad:Tortuous path/driveway getting to the unit - an oversized mound of cracked, busted, deep pocketed cement to navigate the last 150-200 yards to unit. Owner claims no responsibility for this, as it’s owned by the state. Heads up would be nice. Recommend 4 WD vehicle. Owners friend stayed in the unit underneath us and used the neighboring apt. complex to park his car. New stove not properly installed. Max, the handyman discovered a crimped plastic gas line. New dishwasher never worked properly. May have something to do with water pressure which fluctuates 50-70% if someone else in the villa using it - or even the unit below us using their DW or shower.Drainage poor throughout the unit - Pipes gurgled day and night indicating poorly vented and clogged P valves (or U-traps).Day 1, Max indicated a small drip under kitchen sink, 8-10 days later reported terrible odor coming from this area. Days later hot water line blew open, spewing hot water all over the kitchen. Max fixed the next day. No reading lamps in the bedrooms.Ugly:When privately told of our experience and concerns, Owner threatened to contact VRBO and falsely accuse us of unfounded charges. What a shame.This property is a Works in Progress"
