There are many many reasons to love this property and choose to spend time here. The house and the grounds are outstanding, clean and beyond picturesque. We had no idea that this jungle environment existed in St Martin, the neighborhood and yard had such gorgeous flora and fauna. Between the flowers, fruit trees, well behaved monkeys and what looked like a dragon but was most likely an iguana, there was always opportunity to appreciate your surroundings. Refreshing pool dips after a hot beach day and meals in the well equipped kitchen were equally as appreciated as a cocktail on the patio before a dinner date to Grand Case and watching the sun set from a LITERALLY unparalleled viewpoint. Before all that, it needs to be said that Hugh and Tess are master class hosts. It isn't just that they are responsive and friendly, it's the hints and tips they provide for things to do; a bit less orthodox and deep than simply listing random nearby restaurants or tourist traps. Most of all, they are NEARBY and willing to help immediately if anything is needed. We've had plenty of awesome hosts that delivered when there was a situation,but more often than not, they are out of the country and have to call a property manager who has to call someone else just to answer a simple question about the property. There is just no replacement for what Hugh and Tess provide, it just happens to be that they have one of the best houses we've ever stayed at after 7 St Martin trips.
My husband and I were lucky enough to enjoy three nights at Tess and Hugh's vacation rental for our last-minute babymoon, and it was quite simply the most magical place to stay in St. Martin. We did NOT want to leave! Beautifully decorated, comfortable and homey, fully-stocked and the views from the house, decks and pool were simply magical. Hugh met us upon arrival to show us around, and give us the most wonderful recommendation to join them for an easy dinner just up the road at their hotel restaurant. They were quickly accessible via text when we had a water issue pop up and addressed it immediately!You must be OK being a bit removed - it was a 10-15 min drive to the closest beach, Marigot or Grand Case for restaurants/groceries/shops - and would definitely recommend renting an SUV to make the climb up the road easier and more comfortable - but if you are looking for a peaceful retreat, this is your PLACE! Also, the driveway is quite steep with steep stairs to enter the main living floor of the home so also would not work for people with accessibility issues.My husband and I are laughing writing such glorious things about this magical stay in the trees because we don't want the word to get out so we can have a return stay but if you are looking for a peaceful, serene, private, quiet, beautiful place to stay on the French side of St. Martin, you will NOT go wrong staying here at Pic Paradis!
Great hosts. Clean, comfortable, peaceful accommodation with sweeping views. Brought my whole family and we all loved our time staying here. Iâd return!
First of all the house was gorgeous and wonderfully situated on top of the hillside with views in all directions. The interior is designed well to accommodate many adults with ample privacy and communal space. The photos on-line don't show how big and spacious the balconies, the pool deck and delightful daybed are for relaxing. Our hosts, Hugh and Tess, were lovely and have decorated the home beautifully with some amazing heirloom pieces. They have stocked the household with all the little things you forgot (or couldn't travel with) including fully supplied kitchen, laundry and bathrooms.
Although a car is an added expense, it is a must to tour the island - which can be done in a weeks time. We found the island to be in a state of recovery - but that said still plenty of things to do and easily navigated. The locals are kind and very welcoming and ready to assist with directions and suggestions.
We would highly recommend this property and the island of St. Martin.
House was everything we had hoped for when we booked. Pool deck was great to sit at and have coffee in the morning. Kitchen was well stocked. Owners were great and had some great advice for the island. I lost our set of keys to the house, but owners were understanding and got us a new key the next day. US visitors, don't forget to pack your european chargers. Was something we never thought about when booking. Would definitely stay here again!
