Well, we're back to reality after spending a wonderful time in your apartment. My husband and I really loved it! It's all about location, location, location! And you have that. We enjoyed many meals on your big terrace, and having drinks while watching the planes land. Beautiful sunsets from the balcony! Your apartment was very comfortable, nicely decorated and well equipped. I loved how you redid the kitchen with a full size stove, plenty of appliances, pots, pans, glassware, cutlery etc. We are already planning our next trip. Thanks again, for sharing your paradise with us🌴🌴🌴

Spent a fantastic week at this beautiful condo. All four of us loved everything about the place. Not a thing overlooked. Nick was great to communicate with and answered any of our questions within minutes. This was our first time in St. Maarten so we had a few! The location is amazing and we just walked everywhere, to the beach, shops and restaurants. We ate dinner out at a different restaurant each night and all seven meals were delicious!! The market downstairs (sooo convenient) was great for breakfast items and was well-stocked in the 'beverage' department. Ice machine was a few steps from our door and I do believe the blender was the most popular appliance😊. I have to admit that I was skeptical about a place next door to an airport, but it was awesome. Watching the planes land and takeoff was incredible and watching those crazy people get blown around in the jet blast was quite entertaining✈️✈️✈️ I think the biggest compliment you could give any holiday destination is that you would return. Without hesitation I can say that Nick and Marilyn's place is one we would certainly love to come back to. It truly is a home away from home.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed everything about this vacation - great location, relaxing environment, friendly people and a perfect condo! Everything was well decorated and spotlessly clean - the attention to comfort and making this feel like home was evident in every room. Nick and Marilyn provided great information about the local area; best restaurants, beaches, activities, entertainment and introduced us to some great people staying in the same building that we remain in contact with today. The views from the balcony are both beautiful and entertaining - enjoyed watching the planes take off and the brave tourists that stood behind them on Maho beach. The only negative experience was having to leave!

My husband and I went to St. Maaerten for the first time and had a fabulous and memorable vacation. Rob and Marilyn are truly amazing to deal with. They had all kinds of information available for sight seeing, places to eat and tips for every event. The condo is renovated and done up so nicely ... Marilyn definitely has a flair for making the condo feel like home. The bed was comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked. There's a grocery store right below the condo where we were able to buy our necessities. The beach is right across the street or just a 5 minute walk away. I can't say enough great things about our visit but it was especially nice dealing with Nick and Marilyn. We will be going again and are looking forward to staying at their condo.

My husband and I rented this unit for 11 nights and had a fabulous time from start to finish! We have been to Maho before but only on cruise stops and decided we wanted to stay longer. Marilyn was very helpful in giving all the information about the area, the condo, restaurants and excursions that they have enjoyed. The views are spectacular and we definitely would like to return. The pool and gardens are beautiful and having Maho and Mullet beach so close was very convenient. We utilized the bus to travel to Simpson Bay and Philipsburg and also rented a car for 1 day to travel around the island. The condo has everything you could possible need and having the grocery store so close was excellent as we ate some supper meals on the balcony. Thanks again Marilyn for the use of your condo as it made this years vacation one of the best we have ever had. Looking forward to coming back.

Thank you Marylin and Nick for the honour of letting us stay at your awesome place😎 Your inspiration has gotten to us, so we decided to purchase in La Terrasse! To anyone reading this review you WILL NOT find finer people to deal with than Marylin and Nick! Again THANKS p.s. No more winters in Canada for this guy!

My daughter and I stayed in this unit for a week. I have already been to St Maarten several times and rented different condos or houses on the island. Last year we also stayed at the same building but different unit but this apartment is by far the best condo I have ever stayed in various countries or places . The owners Nick and Marilyn are extremely accommodating, I felt we know each other for long time. We exchanged emails , shared stories etc. and I feel a very warm connection with them. The condo is very well equipped tastefully decorated , I can tell honestly that nothing was missing what you need for a comfortable vacation, incl. beach towels, chairs suntan lotion etc. The location is also perfect if you don't want to rent a car that's fine too, everything is in walking distance : beaches, restaurants, bars, airport , department store or gift shops. This is a perfect condo for a St Maarten vacation . Tx for Nick and Marilyn.

Very nice apartment close to the airport. Great location for easy access to both the French and Dutch side. We live on a neighboring island and visit S. Maarten 6 to 8 times a year. This apartment is one of the nicer ones we've stayed in. The owners were very helpful in accommodating our stay.

My husband, son and I rented this unit for 2 weeks. We had already been to St. Maarten a few times and had fallen in love with the island. Last year we rented another unit in this same building. Nick and Marilyn's was by far superior to the one we rented last year. They've done a fantastic job making it feel like a home away from home - in fact, my 3 year old still refers to it as his "St. Maarten home"! While we were staying this year, we booked again for next year! A great place, in a great location. Thanks Nick and Marylin!

fantastic people - fantastic condo - fantastic hospitality! Condo is 10 stars, upgraded everything. First time in this condo and will not be the last. Very easy communication's with Nick & Marilyn - completly at your service. As mentioned - conviently located and on bus route if no car is being rented. Will be returning you can count on that. Many warm thanks

From the first time we communicated with Nick and Marilyn, until we arrived back in the States, they were by far the best owners we have rented from! They are very quick to respond and helpful in so many respects. We were even on the Island for a day (on a cruise) and met them at their property a few months prior to our week long stay. Just wonderful people! The accommodations are as advertised. There is really nothing that you will need that they haven't thought of. It is the perfect location on the island. We didn't even make our way over to the East side of the island at all. We spent the entire week on the beaches on the west side. While a rental car is not necessary, one will help you get out to Friar's Bay, Baie Rouge, Happy Bay, etc...when you want to avoid the crowds of cruise passengers on the highest volume days. If you need a rental, contact Lesley Bruce at Kenny's Rentals. We've rented from them four times with no problems. We can't say enough good about the Stimac's, their property, and the island. We plan to return next spring!

THANK YOU Marilyn and Nick for letting us stay at your wonderful condo! This was our 12th visit to St. Maarten since 2006, and by far the best accomodations we have ever expierenced, from the owners, to this area of SMX! Every detail that has been outlined on this site, by the owners is factual, there are no hidden suprises for anyone looking to come here for the first time, or many times after (believe me it will happen!) and you will not find better people to deal with than Marilyn and Nick! Again THANKS and we look forward to many years of dealing with you guys in the future! p.s. We loved the "lawn/beach chairs you provide, and got hours of use out of them on Maho and Mullet beaches! Sincerly Carlo and Chris

My first trip to SXM was in 1996 when we spent only about :90 minutes on the ground. When the airplane door opened it was a place I wanted to visit for more than :90 minutes and working for the airlines would allow me to return. It was not until 1999 that I spent time on island and have returned once or twice a year. I have stayed in many hotels resorts and time shares on the island including this complex with the Maho listing. This unit is not a unit it is a home! My wife and I felt like we were at home. I have spent many years on the road and more hotel rooms than I can remember... This home away from home was the BEST! Everyone looks for different things in travel and vacation... For this experienced travel couple it more than exceeded our expectations! Location quality comfortable and price point. The owner thought of every detail and and we felt like we were guest in a friend or family home. We have already booked next year and plan to return again in the summer. I tell people who ask about SXM that you can be as involved with people or uninvolved as you wish. If you are the type that wants a meal plan with a wrist band and eat cheeseburgers on vacation go to Mexico or Aruba and be part of the cattle. If you want to explore a safe fun friendly island rich in culture SXM is for you... If you want to feel at home away from home you have found it with this VRBO listing!

First, let me say I know the owners, they are friends of mine and this my second trip to St Maarten. This was the first time that I ever rented a condo and was a little leary at first. Nick and Marilyn took the time to explain the whole process to take some of the trepidation away. The condo was very clean and well set up. They took the time to sit and think about what a traveller would need and made sure that all information was supplied to begin the stay. Furnishings are new and very comfortable. The information letter sent to me was very informative and would help any first time person to St. Maarten get started. The location of the unit was great. There are good restaurants within a couple minute walk. Beaches are very close and the view from early in the morning to later in the evening is spectacular. Market is right downstairs. Access to busses and taxi's is literally right at the front door. I would recommend this unit again and again. Good job, Nick and Marilyn.
