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.

If you’re looking for less night life, beautiful quiet beach with the option to be in the mix of busy beaches, it would be a shame to overlook this villa. Communications were excellent, the Villa was clean and comfortable. Highly recommend

Beautiful beachfront property

This is the second time I’ve stayed at this property and villa 2 is an exceptional unit and well equipped for an extended stay. The villas on great Bay are ideally situated to walk to shopping, restaurant, bars, water, sports, etc. but far enough away from the hustle and bustle of cruise ship crowed. The owner is very responsive, the check-in process was easy and the property manager was available for anything we needed during our stay. I highly recommend staying here if you plan a visit to Saint Maarten.

We just go back from our week stay a Great Bay Villas. It was perfect in every way from the beautiful views, the nice kitchen, and all the amenities one would need on a vacation. Having the little private (for the villa) pool was ideal when you didn't want to be at the beach anymore. We look forward to a return trip!!
