The photos and description of the property are on point. The communication with the property owner and service attendants was very easy, helpful and friendly. The property was beautiful! It was spacious, bright and clean. Thereâs a view of the ocean from just about anywhere in the house. Each bedroom had generous space a full bathroom, closet and safe. The kitchen had everything to prep food and drinks. The living room and dining area was bright large with plenty of seating and views of pool and ocean. The pool deck is large with grill, seating area, sun chairs, dining table under the covered portion and plenty of space to move around. Thereâs many steps down to the ocean. The steps and ground are uneven; wearing shoes made it safer and easier on the feet. the seaweed on the beach right off the steps made it unpleasant. The beaches are public so we walked down to the Marriott right next door and used the beach there and ordered drinks and food at their ocean front bar. The oyster bay resort was a quick walk via the road where we visited their bar, ocean front restaurant and shopped the market to purchase alcohol, snacks, water and other small necessities. We also grabbed Taxis from here. The drive from the airport took about 40 minutes. It was easy to find. Thereâs a gas station and another market about a 3 minute drive just over the border. We had an amazing time!
Our group visiting FantaSea consisted of three families and we all were very happy with the beautiful accommodations! The view was beyond spectacular! We spent a significant amount of time lounging on the large deck that had plenty of lounge chairs, dining table, grill, couch and lovely, large pool. Plus, it was a quick walk down to the beach! We also greatly appreciated there were plenty of beach towels and chairs available! Both the owner and the housekeeper were super attentive and responded immediately to all our questions and concerns.
The cleaning staff, Sharon, was very nice and helpful and showed up to let us into the property even though the owner had told her the wrong date. The owner was very rude when I called to ask questions about the property prior to our arrival and the property is more run down than pictures depict. There was a horrible sulfar smell from the seaweed on that side of the island and the beach was not usable, also due to the seaweed. Most of the popular restaurants and blue water beaches are at least a 20 minute drive from the house so having your own car is a must. The house itself was decent and accommodated our party of 14 well but they need to put some money back into updating certain aspects of the property especially the outdoor space . The hot tub is still broken, I thought this would have been fixed since it was mentioned in a previous review, and the columns around the pool are literally crumbling apart, which is a safety issue. If you are vacationing for peace and quiet and want to get away from traffic, this is a good location but if you want to enjoy nice beaches and walk to restaurants this is not the right spot for you. I would not stay here again.
The seaweed was out of control and we could nit use the beach at the house at all. I know this is no fault of the owner but i would have loved a heads up about the situation before we arrived. The house was perfect for what we needed, but more run down than the pictures. And I was shocked at the need to clise all metal storm shutters and doors when we left or went to bed for safety reasons. I had no idea the area was that dangerous. But in the end the restaurants were amazing as was our housekeeper.
This house has an excellent location on a great beach! We spent more time at this beach than any other because it was easy to walk to the house when you needed something. The beach was not crowded, calm, and beautiful. The water is very clear and the area in front of the house is very sandy and good for swimming. The house has a great set up for bedrooms and bathrooms, each room having it's own bathroom and shower is so nice. It's a spacious house and has everything you need. Our one disappointment was that the hot tub was not working, and looks like it hasn't been for awhile. There are definitely updates that need to be done to the house, but they don't get in the way of enjoying the wonderful spaces. We spent our mornings on the pool deck watching the sunrise over the ocean, down to the beach during the day, and back to the pool area to eat dinner, play cards, and watch the stars at night.
we had a group of 12 of us visit for the week. The house exceeded our expectations. We were comfortable, had beach access , and everything we needed. Would defiantly stay here again.
Great house and location just wish the pool and hot tub were heated. They did try to fix but no luck. Didnât like the steps to beach it was a long hike for older people.
This is our 2nd stay at FantaSea. It is truly a beautiful place. We were 10 adults and 4 children (7 mos to 5 yrs). We hung by the pool, walked down to the beach, and went to both resort bars that are within walking distance for happy hours. There was really no reason to drive anywhere. A great island vacation!
Beautiful views with a bit of work it could be great.
Pros: Check in process was easy. The house had a great layout and easy for entertaining. There were plenty of pool towels. The house felt secure. The dining room table had plenty of seating. 10 pool lounge chairs available (more than the 8 listed).
Things I would want to know: The photos do not accurately reflect the current state of the property. New living room furniture (seats 6 â 8). Turn the alcove furniture around to make more seating. There is no outdoor table anymore (2 picnic table). This was an issue for us, as this was the main reason I booked it. We hired a private chef for the stay (on our own). Picnic tables are not comfortable for 2 hour dinners. The owner tried to resolve it once I noticed the previous review, but could not in time. The air-conditioning did not work in 2 of the 4 rooms upon arrival. Resolved the following day. Ceiling in the family room & living room leaked when it rained. Per the owner, this is being resolved in the next couple of weeks. The pool is deep (no shallow end). More like a lap pool. They have floats and we brought some and left them. Dishwashing detergent is provided not laundry detergent. The listing says maid service is daily, but once per our stay (5 days) â important to have laundry detergent. 2 local cell phones were provided (used our own data). Fridge was not stocked (fresh milk, fruit, soda, beer.) Wifi was unreliable (used personal data). Owner has stated this is resolved. The owner was easy to deal with & responsive
This stay was a mixed bag for our group of 4 kids aged 6-15 and 5 adults. Our check in process was not smooth but the owner was apologetic and tried to make it right. And I feel for the owners because I am sure the issues are not so much neglect as not completing repairs after the hurricane. Still, the pictures do not reflect the current state of the home. It feels warn down.
Pros
The house is spacious with room for a big group.
Direct beach access is a great feature.
Views from the house and pool deck are beautiful.
Master bedroom bed was quite comfortable.
Clean, nice sheets and plenty of towels.
Easy access to the JW Marriott for live music and the swim up bar (as well as Sunday brunch).
Area felt quiet and safe.
Cons
Shower by the beach does not look like a tree and doesnât function at all.
Ceiling in the family room leaked when it rained.
Hot tub is damaged; the heater and jets donât work; numerous broken/danaged tiles by pool and stairs to beach.
Pillars and wall at the front of the pool deck are damaged and there is a big pile of broken concrete pieces at the back of the pool deck.
The pretty table and chaise lounge chairs from the pics are goneâcheap replacements and picnic tables.
The caretaker didnât start opening the house or cleaning until after check in time and arrived two hours before check out and started cleaning while we were trying to pack up and enjoy the last couple hours at the beachâit felt intrusive.
This property is a gem I donât see how the calendar is not booked up entirely each month. Itâs perfectly located in a quiet area right on the beach, has staff in home as well as a cleaning woman who is the sweetest. Everything here is perfect. AC is phenomenal, the only small flaw is the WiFi doesnât work so well and for streaming a live event with that many people in the home it really causes a challenge but besides that thereâs bug spray a full bar and even a semi stocked fridge upon arrival!
This is our second year here and will be back again
This villa had everything I needed and MORE to house 14 girls for my 4 day Bachelorette Party. Check-in was quick and easy. The Villa was very clean and our housekeeper, Tiana, was extremely thorough and sweet. All 5 rooms had AMAZING views. We used all the amenities without any issues. I definitely recommend this property when coming to SXM with a large party.
Fabulous property for a family vacation. We were 10 total and could have fit a lot more. Had plans to partake of island activities but everyone was happy just hanging out at our own pool and beach. Little grandsons lived the dragons (iguanas)
Everything about our stay was easy, from check-in to the daily housekeeping. The housekeeper we had, Christiana, was lovely and went above and beyond for us, even helping with our BBQ and finding local restaurants from which we could order in. The villa is also quite large and fit all 13 of us, which is no small feat. All in all, it was a lovely stay.
Daily housekeeping was a huge bonus, and our host Sonal was always accommodating and responsive. The location of the house gave us easy access to the Dutch or French side of the island. The house was extremely clean and comfortable for our group of 8 adults and 9 kids
The inside of the house was great. The outside of the house was beat up pretty bad by Irma. The outdoor shower, roof, gutters, stairs to the beach, and most of the gardens were destroyed. We enjoyed our stay very much and Audry (one of the house keepers) was amazing. There are lots of stairs to the beach, but it didn't bother us.
Great home. Our family of 14 spent a week there. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a place on the ocean that this is it. There are a lot of steps in the house so anyone with mobility issues might find it difficult especially with a baby just starting to walk who loved to climb them. But the view, house and surroundings are worth it! I wanted to bring Audrey the housekeeper home with us. Lovely lady. If I ever go to st Marteen again this would be my choice to stay at
The house was everything we wanted it to be and more. We enjoyed our stay and will book again in the future. We've already recommended the home to family and friends. The house was in good repair. We did have a few mishaps that was resolved as quickly as they could resolve them. Some of it was do to island living. House keeper came everyday except Sunday. Could have been every other day would have been ok.
Sonal was extremely friendly and did everything she said she would. She cares about those who stay at her property and wants to make their stay enjoyable. Thank You
