We had the best time in st Martin, the place is amazing, clean, located within close proximity to everything. We lived in st Martin for 2 years before, and we know the good places around, and I tell you something, this place is a great place! You won’t regret it.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Bella Mare! Waking up to the beautiful sights of yachts and sailboats in the stunning waters of Simpson Bay every morning was a perfect start! Our daily walk to the end of Simpson Beach (2.5 round trip) was great exercise. We brought sandals one day and continued up the stairs and into Maho exploring that area where the planes land. We found the location of Bella Mare to be perfect! Walking distance to breakfast spots, lunch spots, dinner and a pharmacy if needed. The Yacht Club bar and grille was just a short walk away and allows you to sit and watch the boats come through the canal into the marina. We highly recommend this VRBO property, Gordon and Jill were a pleasure to work with! ….Steve and Sherry 2/4/22-2/11/22

The property exceeded our expectations. Amazing spot a few steps from the water of Simpson Bay. When the shutters raised every morning to reveal the stunning view we couldn’t help but smile. Everything as advertised and more!

Wonderful property to just relax!

We (parents, 8yr kid and a grandma) spent 10 dreamy days at the villa. You cannot beat this location - it's directly on a very nice beach (with no traffic at all! barely a dozen people passed by in 10 days). Villa is everything as described and more, all details are looked after - from all you need for the beach to recommendations for local restaurants and travel!), it is VERY clean and well maintained, honestly we cannot recommend it enough! You can stay in and cook, you can walk to Patisserie for out of this world pastries or nearby restaurants. We would recommend renting a car as there is enough to see on the island every day of your stay. As to the logistics - we worked with Jill prior to arrival - she is phenomenal and responds to all your asks right away! Gordon (the property manager) is available to answer your calls at any time (and boy did it come in handy when we got stuck in the airport and both Gordon and Jill were in constant communication with us late into the evening!!!!! We appreciate your help so very much!). This is a very popular villa for bookings (for so many different reasons!) - we highly recommend it! One note for the future travelers - internet connection is spotty at times (in many areas of the island including this villa), in the event you do need to be connected to work or for other reasons, but it did not have an impact on our stay at all. Looking forward to coming back for some R&R in the future! :) Thanks again, Jill and Gordon!

Better than advertised! I am very selective when it comes to my vacation rentals and I can tell you this place met all of my expectations and beyond. Even though we don't like to visit the same place twice we are already planning to revisit this time with more family. This property is perfectly located on the Dutch side with easy access to great restaurants and tranquil family oriented beaches. We loved our morning walks to Cafe Atlantico and we highly approve every restaurant the owners recommended. Gordon (property manager) and Jill (St. Martin Beach Rentals) were a pleasure to work with. They are very knowledgeable of the island and are always available to answer any questions. This condo was not only beautifully decorated and very spacious but was also extremely clean (as I like it). You will find everything you need in the kitchen (they provide you with starting seasoning and other complementary necessities) and furthermore you have a very NICE bar at your disposition with a pretty good selection of drinks (please don't forget to replace what you use as courtesy to the house and future guests). The beds were really comfortable and high quality linens. The towels do need to be replaced in my opinion. The views and the feel of this place is way more captivating in person. Tranquil warm waters and breathtaking sunsets right in your patio. Local people are friendly and you will find that they speak multiple languages! if you are looking for a place to relax and feel totally at home this is your place! Don't look any further, this is your place! This is a gem for they money you pay! P.S- This property provides you with a cooler, snorkeling wear, beach towels a pre paid local cell phone and a house land that with access to US numbers.

We are two couples who spent a week at the end of June at this great property. The condo is better than the pictures! It was easy to find from the airport. The area across the street from the condo are inhabited by very friendly locals. When we arrived, Gordon, the property manager, was there to greet us and gave us all kinds of great advice and showed us around the unit. A VOIP phone and a cell phone are provided for your use. The unit is well-equipped with fans and air-conditioning. The view out the back is fantastic. The beach is small in front of the unit, and you can snorkel around if you enter the water with some caution due to the large rocks. Just down the beach a little bit is a nice swimming area. There are a number of restaurants as you walk towards the airport that are nice to walk up to. Karakter Beach Bar was a nice treat and we had brunch and dinner there. Everything is within 40 minutes driving or less. All the previous reviews are spot on when it comes to the information. Everything is provided and more at Bella Mare. Be sure to take the advice from Gordon and Jill (who we worked with to book the condo). They had fantastic information and made the trip so much easier. Jill helped with booking a car which made it a lot easier for us. WHEN we come back, we will definitely stay at Bella Mare, again.
