We were traveling with three families ages 9 to 63. Property is in an extremely secure and beautiful area. Our host Chris exceeded all of our expectations, and the staff was very friendly and attentive to our needs. The beach is beautiful and we had it to ourselves most days. A car is recommended to see the island and facilitate provisioning and adventuring. House is secluded away from the hustle and bustle of the port. All of our questions, and needs were quickly attended to. The kitchen is very well appointed and we were able to cook several group meals. I will definitely come back to this property. Thank you.

Simply marvelous

We have a group of five couples that have traveled together every year for the last eleven years staying in rental homes with five or more bedrooms. We have had multiple trips to Costa Rica, Belize, Turks Caicos and the Keys. This was our first trip to Saint Maarten and it was by far our best trip. Chris, the Host was amazing. He was responsive, easy to work with and wanted to make sure we enjoyed our trip. He made the check in process outstanding. The home was above our expectations and the beach was beautiful. The house was well equipped, the daily housekeepers kept the house spotless, the pool was very large with plenty of sitting areas and the view was absolutely gorgeous. Most homes we have stayed in don't supply daily essentials and this home did. It was very nice not having to go shipping for items the night we arrived or the next morning. We just relaxed by the pool. We will definitely be going back

This villa was absolutely perfect. Lots of bedrooms to accommodate our group and a large, well equipped kitchen. The beach is basically in the backyard. Guana Bay is scenic, the beach is beautiful and is essentially your own private paradise. The host, Chris went above and way beyond to make our stay a pleasure. He even took the time to take us into town to pick up some local BBQ and some provisions. He was always helpful to suggest activities and restaurants (which were exceptional). We thoroughly enjoyed our vacation with in St. Martin. Do not hesitate to book this wonderful villa.

The place was perfect for our family each having their own suite! Chris, was very helpful in giving us recommendations like for a personal chef, boat cruises and restaurants. It was great having a swimming pool, too. Definitely 5 stars!

House was beautiful. House easily slept all three of our families in 6 spacious bedrooms. Everything was clean and well equipped. Ocean was just at the bottom of the garden. Beach was quiet all week and good for a swim. Chris was outstanding. He was always available whenever we needed him and had all the answers for all our requests about taxi's, things to do etc. We enjoyed eating outside with the great ocean views. Would definitely recommend staying here

Our group of 10 stayed at Villa Orchid for a week and we loved it. The villa is exactly as pictured and very clean. Chris is an excellent host, greeted us and showed us around when we arrived and even messaged during our stay to make sure everything was going well. The location is great, an easy drive (less than 10 minutes) to Phillipsburg for shopping and restaurants. We would definitely stay here again!

Among my friend group, we have a tradition where when each couple turns 50, we splurge on a luxury house somewhere tropical and treat each other like royalty. This year we went to St. Maarten and the island did not disappoint! In fact, my Dutch friend was able to see the King, Queen and Princess of Holland on their island tour, we swam with turtles, hiked a gorgeous nature trail, and visited several beaches, each more beautiful than the last. This property is located on the Dutch side about 30 minutes fro the airport. Chris, the property manager met us at the airport and took us first to a market for provisions, then on to the house. La Villa Orchid can be seen from the hilltop and the approach is breathtaking. Guana Bay, where the house is located, is on the Atlantic, making the sea a bit rough, but provides the sounds and scenery to unwind after a day of sightseeing and to lull you to sleep. The house is as pictured with some color variation, likely attributing to the additional/similar properties in the gated community. It is well appointed, including bath and beach towels, laundry, plenty of cookware, flatware and china, pool floats and lounge chairs. The manual explains how everything works, so do read it. A couple of sharp knives were desired, but with so many people using them it is hard to keep them sharp. One thing to note: the bathtub had a cracked valve that I conveniently found on day 1, when flooding the bathroom while filling the tub. Marble floors, plenty of towels and a top notch maintenance and cleaning crew made the experience quick and painless, and the tub was back in action in less than 2 hours! Chris communicated so well before during and after the trip. He was a wealth of information about the island, things to do, and places to go. His recommendations for boat/snorkel tours, beaches, restaurants and other activities were perfect. Check out was a breeze, additional staff, were friendly, helpful and excellent i their work. 100% recommend this luxury villa for your next "royal gathering."
