Just spent a week in this beautiful home. My wife, two adult children and I could not have asked for more. The villa was so comfortable and well equipped. The patio/pool area provided a relaxing environment to enjoy everything from morning coffee on the couch, to evening meals under cover while still taking in the pleasant St.Martin evenings. Or if you chose, the walk to local restaurants and the beach was just minutes away. So convenient and easy. The week was topped off with the friendly help and suggestions from Bruno and Patricia. There was nothing that needed changing from our view. We thoroughly enjoyed the week and openly say that we plan to return. Thanks for sharing your wonderful villa.

We very much enjoyed our stay here. The furniture & beds were all very comfortable. I loved eating out on the patio in the fresh air. The pool was quite cold, but of you warmed up first on the incredibly comfortable mays next to the pool, the water was tolerable. Just watch the steps getting in, that 3rd step is a doozy. I think we need to buy one of these homes, but with just two bedrooms. It was simply perfect for the five of us.

Our family spent a very enjoyable week at this lovely place just a short walk from the Orient Bay beaches. The property was everything we could have hoped for and we loved the little luxury touches - not just a coffee maker but an espresso machine as well. Not just lounge chairs by the pool, but USB charging ports, too. The pool was a huge hit with the kids, who were in there every day without exception, and the cool blue underwater lighting again provided that nice luxury touch. The unit provided all the space and amenities we could have asked for to make our week on the island perfect. Three bedrooms were just what we needed for our group, the AC and washing machine worked great, and we could veg in front of the tv when we needed to recharge after a long day outside. Patricia and Bruno were gracious and helpful hosts. We can’t wait to come back to this amazing place!

We completely enjoy your home. The kitchen is modern and very well equipped. The kitchen could use a few more plastic glasses since we were always outside and around the pool. The beds were comfortable. Plenty of storage in the closets for suitcases and clothing. Bathrooms/showers were great. Outdoor space is truly special. Nice table and seating area to get out of the sun. The pool was great to use after a long day at the beach or early in the morning after going for a walk or a run. The house is less than a 10 minute walk to the beach and the restaurants in the village. We would absolutely stay in your house again.

The property owners Patricia and Bruno are truly terrific. They are helpful and available for anything even a good dinner recommendation. Beautiful villa with a private pool and a big privacy wall all the way around the pool and patio. Private beaches, first class restaurants and bars…just steps away. The villa is well appointed, very clean and and with two baths and three bedrooms there is plenty of room for six. When a storm blew threw Bruno stopped over and cleaned the pool and Patricia can answer any question about the island. We will be back. We stayed for two weeks and never had a boring moment. What a great island and a great villa!

Patricia and Bruno allowed us to experience the beauty of Saint Martin and Orient bay in their beautiful well accommodated property, which was a little sliver of paradise on its own. They were the best hosts I’ve dealt with and could not recommend this stay enough. Patricia even picked us up after arriving the airport because we had some transportation troubles. The villa was so clean and comfortable, a great hub for our group to meet up between beach time and activities. Also very close to many small places to grab food and provisions. The cutest French grocery store was only a 4 minute walk away. They were attentive to any questions and concerns I had throughout the week, and very charming. We will be back! Thanks Patricia and Bruno

Positives: The check in process was good and Patricia welcomed us; Coffee machine was broken and immediately replaced upon mentioning it; Master bedroom was comfortable; Host is very responsive to questions. Negatives: Owner popped into the villa without notice 3 times during my week stay. I have no problems with owner visit but there is no respect for privacy!!! There was no advance notice, but suddenly Bruno is showing up inside the house (luckily we had our clothes on). Toilet upstairs was broken; there were ants in the kitchen upon arrival before we even bought food; beds in the upper floor bedrooms were not as comfortable. But on top of those was the treatment we received on check out. Patricia was very unfriendly and claimed we leave the house with a mess. The house was picked up but not thoroughly cleaned as that was what a cleaning fee was charged for (large amount was paid as cleaning fee in cash based on the owner demand) and there might be portions of small sand at the entrance (the house is walking distance from the beach). Moreover, I received a text few hours after check out where I was called a pig (because my kids left few masks in their bedroom...I was not aware of that and apologized for that). I am renting many VRBO and had never got such disrespectful text and comments from a host. My family and I were hurt and I do not believe Patricia nor Bruno treated us with respect.

My wife and I and another couple stayed at Villa Bruneva recently for a week and a half. Patricia and Bruno met us on our arrival. They are very charming and personable. They showed us around the Villa and all the amenities it has to offer. The Villa was recently updated and was perfect for us. The pool area is very private and we enjoyed it everyday after returning from Orient Beach which was 5 minutes away. We walked into Orient Village in the evening for dinner a few times and walked to L’Astrolabe for Monday night surf and turf nigh. Great food and Thomas and his staff were wonderful. We loved the modern kitchen with everything you would need for cooking and preparing meals. The bedrooms were spacious and the beds were the comfortable beds we’ve ever slept on while traveling. Bathrooms and showers were also large and perfect for our needs. The Villa was spotless and it was a pleasure to return there everyday after a “tough” day on Orient Beach. We would stay at Villa Bruneva again. Loved it. Bruno and Patricia are the best! Dave and Patty

We had a beautiful stay at Patricia & Bruno’s villa. Beach and delicious restaurants were a short walk away and the pool was perfect. Patrica and Bruno are the nicest couple - they are wonderful hosts, gave us recommendations on things to do and places to go, and we highly recommend staying at their villa!

We had a great 2 weeks vacationing at Patricia and Bruno’s villa. They are wonderful hosts and very receptive to any requests. We can’t wait to come back!

The owner would not return any money to me even tho we were in a pandemic. I thought they were very unsympathetic and just wanted to keep their money. I thought VRBO had a return policy but have found out up to each owner. Vrbo should not allow such discre

This villa was ideal for our family of four. Lovely pool and patio area. Everything you need and more in the kitchen. The owners, Patricia & Bruno are terrific! Very responsive and caring. We can’t wait to return!

The villa is exactly as you see it in the pictures. A great place to stay within a short walk to the beach and restaurants. We chose this property because it looked great and had it’s own generator and water supply if town facilities failed. We made the right choice as there was a mains break and town water was off for a few days.We will definitely stay here again when we return. We already had freinds ask for details when they saw some of our pictures.

Wow! What a great place to stay! And such gracious owners! (The owners are fluent in French and English).We had originally booked in April 2020. but for Covid reasons had to postpone.We easily re-booked for Thanksgiving 2020.So glad we did and chose to go this year.. (We really needed a holiday from 2020!)Flying was simple & easy and we felt safe & everyone was being more than covid safe.Once we arrived in Orient Bay… more of the same - with consistent rules. And almost all the restaurants we came to enjoy Are OPEN… Plus 2 new ones.. (we visit Orient Bay once a year..) The Orient Bay village restaurants are ALL open.There is so much open space on the beach between lounge chairs, to be covid safe while being mask-less and enjoying the 80° air temperature and 79° water temperature. Beach food and drink on the beach is served from the beach boy, also wearing a mask. Most of the largest beach bar / restaurants are fully open. Including the ones we went to: Kon Tiki, LaPlaya, Bikini Beach, Le String Beach and missed going to Coco Beach, due to open December 9th.There is almost no covid cases on the French side of SXM, (probably because everyone follows the rules in the super markets, shops and public spaces.) To further be able to enjoy and be covid safe we rented a house.. This house is one of the best we’ve ever stayed it.. Pictures explain it all. It is, as the pictures show.. It is in pristine condition. Very well taken care of by the owners. All rooms have powerful working AC.Kitchen even has a full size refrigerator. Appliances are modern and work easily.The lighting around the pool is super sexy and the warm air invites you to enjoy your own house Private yard as much as the beach does… (although you would have to make your own drink…)Thank you so much Patricia and Bruno for providing such a wonderful home to rent!Go have a great time! - You’ve suffered 2020, time to unwind and enjoy great food!

Bruno & Patricia are excellent hosts. We arrived to a sparkling clean house with fresh towels and crisp linens. Patricia greeted us & showed us around the property. There is parking for 2 cars. Upstairs there are two bedrooms with bathroom and on main floor there is one bedroom with bathroom. We liked the fact that toilets are separated from showers ( as often in Europe) The kitchen is extremely well equipped. We cooked in most days for our family of four with ease. We loved the walkability of the place as it is just down the road from a gorgeous beach( most people were clothed, don’t be wary of nudeness with kids) convenience store and many restaurants. We visited at a rather precarious time as the Corona virus started getting worse and Trudeau was insisting on Canadians getting back to Canada. Bruno & Patricia kept us updated on happenings around the island and were flexible on us cutting our trip short as we had to get back home. They were gracious and very helpful. We all plan on coming back so that we can explore more of the island. The pool is the perfect size for afternoon dips and very private. We always felt safe and slept very well on the comfy beds. You pass through a gated entrance immediately to get to the house. Having the generator & cistern is such a perk . If power or water on the island goes out, you don’t have to worry at all. Thank you for the stay. We will be back soon!

We can't possibly put into words how wonderfully relaxing and fun our stay was at Villa Bruneva! The moment we walked through the entrance to the villa we felt as if we were in our very own oasis......clean, comfortable, more beautiful than described and everything a person could possibly need for the perfect get away! The kitchen has everything you could possibly need including an espresso machine which we used every morning! One of the best parts about this villa is that we always had water thanks to an onsite cistern! Orient Bay often shuts the water off which is a HUGE inconvenience as you can imagine. As easy as the push of a few buttons and we were switched over to the cistern-we were SO GRATEFUL for that especially when the water was shut off for 4 days straight! The beds were AMAZING......I almost never sleep well on vacation because the beds are overly hard. Not this time! I slept better on the beds at this villa than my own! Bruno and Patricia are the most lovely people....funny and caring, available day or night to answer any questions. We've rented through VRBO for over 10 years now and they were by far, the easiest and most friendly owners we've ever met! Our 3rd trip to St. Martin and it's official: we've found the vacation home of our dreams and can't wait to go back!! Thank you so much Bruno and Patricia!

Everything was wonderful

Beautiful naturist friendly villa , we stayed with another couple. Pool & backyard were wonderful. Smart tv with English speaking channels, as well as netflix. bruno & Patricia were easily accessible. Had an amazing 2 weeks there, we will be back for sure!

Patricia and Bruno were wonderful hosts, very responsive before and during the trip. The property is immaculate - exactly as the pictures describe. We loved the clean and comfortable beds and bathrooms, kids adored the very private pool. Will definitely try to visit again and recommend highly!

The property is beautiful and exactly as pictures. Patricia and Bruno were the perfect hosts and helped us with all the information we needed for a wonderful vacation. Beds were comfortable, kitchen was fully stocked and beach towels were provided, which was a great help when we were packing not to have thick heavy towels added to our luggage. Villa is a short walk to a beautiful beach, great restaurants, bars and a small grocery. We had a great time.

The pictures of this beautiful hideaway tell the story. The property is exactly as pictured, immaculately clean and staffed with everything you will need to have an unforgettable stay. From the beginning contact with the Owners, through our entire stay and our departure. Patricia and Bruno kept in touch to make sure our vacation exceeded our expectation. They even drove me to a car rental company when my pre-arranged rental with another company feel through. The property is beautifully laid out with an open concept kitchen and living room, large outside dining area and master bedroom with attached shower downstairs. Upstairs are two good sized bedroom, one with a balcony that overlooks the pool, and shower and separate toilet area. I found the beds very comfortable and we all slept well. A hair dryer and clothing iron are provided. There is also satellite TV and very stable Wi-Fi. One note: the French side of the island uses 220 power so you will have to bring converters if you are using American devices. Also, if you are planning to use devices like curling irons or things that heat be sure that your converter is equipped to handle the wattage. It is a short walk to the center of Orient Bay with its stores, restaurants, bars and of course its world famous beach. However, we spent most of our time enjoying the pool and relaxing in our home away from home. When we left, Patricia and Bruno were there to make sure we enjoyed our stay and to help us handle our departure. They are such lovely people and we will be back to stay on this property again.

Villa Bruneva was an awesome place to stay and we enjoyed every minute of our vacation there. Bruno and Patrica met us at their place for check in and gave us a grand tour and showed us everything and explained how everything worked, etc. They were great host. We only had a couple of minor issues that did not take anything away from our vacation and they were quick to respond to anything we needed. We couldn't ask for anything more. The place is absolutely beautiful and was perfect for us 2 couples. We had a great time and can't wait to return next year. Thanks again Bruno & Patricia for your great hospitality, It was so nice meeting you two !

We have been vacationing in the Orient Bay area over the last 20 years. We have stayed at both hotels and rental properties. Villa Bruneeva was the best property we have stayed at. Perfect location that allows you to walk to the beach or the village. You wouldn’t have to rent a car, but you will have 2 reserved spots right outside your door if you do. The pictures accurately portray the property. The private outdoor living space is perfect with plenty of comfortable seating for dining or lounging around the pool. The kitchen is well appointed and has everything to cook if you choose. The first floor master makes it easy for those who don’t climb stairs. Bathroom and shower on 1st floor as well. 2nd floor has 2 bedrooms and another bath to share. 1 of the upstairs bedrooms has a balcony with a view of the ocean. Perfect for morning coffee or evening cocktails. What originally attracted us was the cistern and generator. If you have been to St. Martin, you’re not new to the infrastructure issues. Fortunately we didn’t need the backups, but it’s the first time we had water and power the whole vacation. This is a property that won’t disappoint!

Beyond being gorgeous! All the details have been thought of! AC everywhere - when you need it. Gorgeous Patio(s) Balcony with view of sea. LED pool lighting & landscape lighting Hard wired plug in USB jacks poolside and inside. (no converter required) Proper lighting controls Well inventoried kitchen Large Frig with filtered water Ice maker Everything works! The couple that owns this are there if you need them! WE WILL RETURN! merci beaucoup!

Had a great stay. Recommend this villa to stay in. Very updated and clean, beds were very comfortable. Bruno and Patricia were very nice😀� had a great trip!

This was our second year staying at Villa Bruneva, it was wonderful! Perfect size accommodations for our party of four. The villa is kept in excellent condition and very clean. The outdoor pool area is spacious with numerous places to relax, the pool decking was recently redone and is beautiful. The interior is well furnished, the living room has a comfy sofa with TV that has French and US channels. The kitchen contains all the necessary appliances; oven, cooktop, refrigerator, coffee maker, espresso maker, dishwasher, and washing machine. The bedrooms are sizable with comfortable foam mattress beds, each bedroom has an AC unit. There is an ample supply of bath towels, and beach towels are also provided. The villa is a 5 minute walk to the beach and to the village square which has many restaurants. Bruno and Patricia are fabulous owners to work with, we highly recommend this villa!

Love love love Villa Bruneva in Orient bay!! Everything you need in a rental. Walking distance to beach and many wonderful restaurants. There is a full kitchen if you choose to cook , but why when your so close to so many amazing five star restaurants. A beautiful private pool right out your patio doors with ample sitting room to soak up the Caribbean sun. 3 spacious bedrooms and well equipped bathrooms. The villa is tastefully decorated with up to date furniture and appliances. Staying at Villa Bruneva your a short drive to anywhere on the island. I will be returning to Villa Bruneva as it’s truly wonderful place to stay

My family and I recently had the pleasure of staying at Villa Bruneva for two weeks, (1/5-1/20). Not only were Patricia and Bruno the perfect host and hostess, the villa was very clean, spacious and comfortable (and the beds were amazing). The villa has all of the modern amenities including washer and dishwasher, but best of all the villa boasts a cistern for times when St. Martin arbitrarily shuts off the water for hours. A quick call to Bruno and the house is transferred over to the cistern system, so you have water while nobody else does! Wonderful! We recommend this villa 100% and would surely return.
