Clean, great location, Wally is excellent!

Clean, great location, Wally is excellent!

Both the location and the villa were outstanding. We were just steps to the ocean from our villa. A short walk down the beautiful and picturesque beach, we connected with the Great Bay Boardwalk. From here we had access to excellent restaurants and boutiques. The villa was comfortable, clean, and met all our needs. Wally, the on-site manager, provided excellent service in that he touched base with us daily. He was an excellent source of information about the area and the island.

Great location close to Philipsburg with east rides to beaches across the island. Wally the property manager is awesome and a wealth of info.

Needs work. But so does the entire Village. Insects in the kitchen. Beach was littered with dogs and droppings. If you have a beach front property the beach is also your responsability. so at best 3 stars

I don’t want to give a good review because I want to keep it a secret. Absolutely wonderful place! In every way! Great property, great location, and the condo and supplies within were perfect.

Couldn’t have asked for a better stay! We toured this property 2 yrs ago - just before Covid and I knew it was the place I wanted to be! Manager “Wally” is so attentive and friendly; even arranged our car rental at a great price. We are coming back in a few weeks for another week and booking for next year as well. Perfect for 50 and over! Thank you luca and Wally!

We loved the property and location to the beach and the boardwalk. It’s a quiet location with beautiful sunsets! Wally, the property manager, is very friendly and knows everything about the island. He has great suggestions about restaurants and beaches!! He welcomed us and really helped us get settled. A great vacation!!

Good spot on the beach

Great spot, right on the beach. Luke was super quick and easy to work with. Plus, Wally, the property manager is amazing. Super helpful and always available. Highly recommended.

Well furnished condominium with great kitchen. Enjoyed the outdoor decks with a great view of the bay while listening to the waves. In a quiet area with a small grocery nearby. A bit of a long walk to restaurants but along the water. Onsite staff is great and good communication with the owner. Great staging location to drive to other points on the island.

Absolutely loved our 2 nights stay in Villa 9! You just can’t get a better location. Right on the beach, with tons of restaurants and shopping within walking distance. Wally, the on-site property manager, was extremely helpful - he made the stay even better. Thanks so much!

The villa was very clean and within walking distance to shopping and restaurants. The owner was very helpful. The villa had a great view of the bay area. I would recommend renting a car if staying for a week. The villa had common cooking utensils. Walking distance to 2 grocery stores for food items.

Our stay at Luca’s place was amazing! The place was spotless and exactly like the photos. It’s a great spot to explore the island from, with plenty of parking out front or nearby. We were a group of four adults and the space was laid out perfectly for us to spread out and be comfortable. Good A/C but we mostly left the massive patio doors open and enjoyed the breeze. The beach right out front is wonderful and there are many good restaurants within walking distance, although we all agreed the better food was on the French side of the island (no fault of Luca’s of course!). There’s a small grocery store directly across the street that we went to multiple times. Our dealings with Wally the property manager were also easy and comfortable. The only minor issue was that the neighbor’s dogs (we met the dogs on the beach and they are so sweet) would regularly bark in the wee hours of the morning, waking us all up. Again, no fault of Luca’s but just something to be aware of if you’re a light sleeper (I say this as a dog lover!). We all agreed we would absolutely come back and stay here!

Go ahead and book here! Great place, great property manager, and a great location. Plenty of things to do within walking distance, and centrally located to drive to other parts of the island in a short amount of time. A/C was cool. Security was good. The beach is literally right there and the pool was very nice. There is a super market right across the street which is where we bought things to snack on, along with some hot dogs and hamburgers to cook on the private grill for the villa. We will be staying here again when we come back.

My family had great vacation. The Villa was nice, clean and well equipped. It is perfectly located right at the beach and within walking distance to restaurants, stores etc. The view is beautiful, the beach was almost, and often literally, empty. The feeling was as if we were at private beach. There is a store right around the corner where you can buy all necessary stuff like food and water. Supermarket is within a few minutes drive by car. Luke, the owner and Wally, the manager, gave us a lot of useful advise. Wally was very friendly and helpful during our stay. We enjoyed out time.

Great location, and very private.

The locations is great. The beach is right out front and it is a short walk to restaurants, shopping and water activities. Wally the property manager is fantastic. I cant say enough about him. I highly recommend this property.

Stayed a week with my family at Villa 9, we had an amazing time. Great place, clean, had everything we needed. Close to the boardwalk, and lots of shopping near by. Beds were very comfortable, and the TV's were new. We loved every minute, and Wally checked on us regularly to make sure we were ok! Beach and pool were amazing!!

A soon as we pulled up we were greeted by Wally the property manager who was absolutely amazing! The house was PERFECT & smelled amazing! The view was SO BEAUTIFUL!!!! This was the first time we stayed in Phillipsburg & it was the perfect location! Close to everything yet so quiet & so perfect! Our family would wake up & jump right into the ocean ! This was exactly what our family of 6 needed ! I can’t thank Luke the owner enough for being so responsive & answering every question we had. Luke thank you so much for sharing your home with us, we have made so many memories that we will have forever! We had to pinch ourselves every day as this was paradise !Can’t wait to come back next year !!!!!! Xo Tina

What an amazing vacation at Great Bay Villas! From start to finish the vacation was absolutely perfect. The booking process was easy and the communication with Luke, the owner was timely as well as with Wally, the property manager. Wally met us in front of the Villas as soon as we pulled up in our rental car. He helped us with our luggage and was very welcoming, giving us a thorough tour of the accommodations as well as answering any questions we had. The accommodations were exactly as they were shown on the website and the view from the villa was stunning. The pool was beautiful and clean and was very refreshing during the heat of the day. Safe, secure, clean, spacious, great location for walking into Philipsburg and so much more. We can't wait to return to Great Bay Villa #9. Loved it!

We rented this villa for 3 days in Dec'19. We are a family of 4 (2 adults and 2 kids). We had a great time here. The villa had everything we needed and being right on the beach was pretty convenient. The owner was prompt in his communication throughout the process. But the highlight of the reception is the manager, Wally. He was amazingly helpful and gave us a a great experience throughout. The overall condo complex is lucky to have him as their manager. The only downside is that Philipsburg is pretty dead after the cruise ships leave and you might have to drive out of town for good restaurants during the evenings. But that feedback is more about the town, not about this villa

The unit was excellent it had everything you needed. Great pool, close to the ocean, very private and good security! Wally The property manager was amazing and helped in every way possible. My one complaint that has nothing to do with the unit was dogs barking very loud at night. This kept me fully awake for two nights, this was from the building beside the complex and in the area, other than that 9.5 out of 10 Gord Mitchell

Exactly as described - roomy with all the little things!

An exceptional vacation stay.. wonderful location. Wally was very helpful in places to go, eat, and, be merry. we'd stay there again if the opportunity arises...

The Villa was just as described. The location was perfect. Have stayed in many beachfront condos in the Caribbean, but never been this few steps from the water. Beautiful views of the cruise port, the bay and neighboring islands. Close to shopping, bars and restaurants, both casual and fine. We arrived on Friday and rented a car...it was parked until Monday night. Wally, the property manager was fantastic and tended to every need and question promptly and friendly. Not that we needed much. The unit was super clean, well-equipped with all the little extras you would need, updated and comfortable. Luca, the owner was great to work with and very responsive. This was a do-over for us for a trip that was cancelled in 2017 thanks to Hurricane Irma WE had the same unit booked then and we will definitely book it again when we return to St. Maarten.

We love the view, the villa, a short walk to the boardwalk along the beach, there was nothing to criticize.

My husband and I stayed at #9 this past week with our son and his girlfriend. This was our second stay at #9 and maybe our sixth (or seventh?) stay at the Villas overall. We love #9, because of the location at the end of the complex - very private and convenient. The Villas property is meticulously maintained and beautifully landscaped with bougainvillea and palm trees and a crystal clear infinity pool. The Villas is in a great location (right on the beach), just a few steps away from the Philipsburg boardwalk, with a grocery store right around the corner that sells everything you will need. Philipsburg is still recovering from Irma 2 years later, but even at the nadir of the low season there were plenty of restaurants open. Great Bay keeps calling us back and #9 is our home away from home!
