This oceanfront condo was perfect. From morning sunrises, coffee and French pastry or evening cheese plate and wine on the porch, it is the perfect setting. Quick access to Orient Beach was just what we were looking for.Check in and check out was a breeze. We would return!

Christian was a wonderful host, very attentive and quick to respond to any questions. It was lovely being met at the property, particularly as we got in after dark, to be shown around and have things explained.The apartment is just lovely with everything you could need and the most beautiful view to wake up to each morning. It was a good distance away from Orient Bay village to be quiet but also a lovely 10 minute walk along the beach to get to shops, beach clubs and restaurants. They had lots of free parking onsite although we didn’t need it, Marlene the lovely taxi lady that Christian recommended took us everywhere we needed. Would highly recommend this beautiful place, hope to be back again.

Chantel and Christian were excellent hosts. We rented a car from them and they picked us up and dropped us off at the airport. The 1 bedroom condo was small but very well equipped. The view from the balcony was fabulous, overlooking Orient Bay and St. Barts in the distance.

We enjoyed our stay so much last year that we returned this year! The condo is clean and well decorated and equipped to meet all our needs. There is a beautiful swimming pool and the view is stunning. It is right on Orient Bay beach and a few minute drive away from a large selection of excellent restaurants. The hosts are helpful but not intrusive. A perfect get-away!!

Everything about this place is perfect. The owners are responsive, and nearby…not to mention lovely people. The apartment is well appointed, and the view is incredible. The proximity to restaurants, shopping, and beaches is as good as it gets. Parking is easy, and your personal safety is never in question. We have stayed in many places on the island, this one stands out as top notch. Thank you very much C and C. We look forward to our next stay with you, P and H

Restful stay at Studio Turquoise

From the first day we arrived, the weather perfect, the location of this unit great for us, far enough away from the activity of Orient Bay, but close enough to walk to all restaurants, bars, shops, market. The unit was perfect for two people, kitchen had all we needed, spent all our time on the lanai playing cards and drinking wine. This is facing the best view, open the doors turn off the a/c and listen to the waves. The best snorkeling on the whole beach is right in front of the unit near the rocks, we saw many different fish. The pools are beautiful and kept very clean. Just a couple things that need attention, the closet doors do not work properly, need fixing and the tv did not have signal, but we did not really care as the view and quiet was what we needed. All and all fantastic!

Just another day in paradise!

Perfect for two. The sunrises were spectacular and the view breathtaking! We enjoyed getting in our exercise as we walked to a variety of beach clubs on Orient Bay. Parking was also a journey on its own but we got used to it. We did have some weather while we were there, and so we had to stay in one night for dinner. The pizza place next to the little store is absolutely amazing. We loved their white pizza the most, they had a thin crispy crust that was scrumptious! Do not miss out on that opportunity. This was a wonderful location, easy to access so many other places: Grand Case, Pinel Island, shopping and more. Our hosts were lovely, providing great communication about happenings on the island and they even brought us homemade crepes. All in all a fabulous experience! Missing it already!

Paradise

From the time that I booked until we departed; the host Chantal & Christian were awesome! They answered the many questions that I had ( as this was our first visit to Saint Martin) they were in contact when our plane landed and Christian was waiting at the property when we arrived. He gave a tour of the condo with local insight for our interest and some handy guides. The property was beautiful with an up close ocean view; literally just steps away from the beach and the wonderful pool. The property is in a quiet cul-de-sac just a 8 minute drive from Orient Beach restaurants & shops. The unit was very clean and had starter items supplied until we could get to the store ( one on property & a large one just a 5 minute drive.) The bed was very comfortable & enjoyed our morning coffee on the east facing balcony! We had rented a small car which was perfect to get around & there was parking with a short walk up the hill to get to the unit. We would definitely stay at this property again! I can’t say enough about how wonderful Christian & Chantal are and how peaceful & perfect this property was for us😊

Beautiful property, kitchen was well stocked and everything worked properly. The owner was fantastic and even brought a flat iron to the room because mine wasn't the correct voltage for the island. A little tricky to find with the map but once she dropped us the pin we were there in no time. Pool was awesome and there were always plenty of very nice chairs. Only drawback was while we were there the seaweed was bad, however that is not any reflection of this property, just nature!!! Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Had a very nice stay. The walk to the beach and pool was nice. The unit is well equipped. Only a short drive to restaurants, markets, etc. The only negative was the glass doors to the balcony. They whistled terribly when the wind piped up. The owners told us they have replacement gaskets!! Would have been nice if they had actually installed them.

Birthday stay with a twist or two

We stayed March 11-18, 2023 The place was nice the view was great. We enjoyed the orient bay beach area. There was a nice new large pool to use. The owner made an error with our arrival date and the departing date of previous renter so we had to stay in a different unit than we rented for the first night. Chantal was able to do that for us. She was a very nice lady. We then had to move into the original unit the next day which also happen to be my birthday. Unfortunately there was no water for us to shower or flush for several days throughout the week . We made the most of our time but it was not the dreamiest vacation circumstances. Make sure the water situation is better if that is important to you before you book hopefully it will be soon. I realize things can go wrong and we didn’t want to keep searching for last minute locations for our vacation while on vacation so we looked at the positive things To enjoy. The lovely beaches and restaurants on it and the areas near. St Martin is a lovely island with great nice, kind people.

Très belle vue !

Accueil très chaleureux et apprécié ! Vue incroyable sur Orient Bay ! Eau turquoise, petit vent très agréable en permanence dans la baie, vue sur St-Barth, à distance à pied par la plage de plusieurs restaurants beach et bar avec chaises, tables et parasol fournis pour la journée avec une consommation chacun…très beau secteur près du Super U (vraiment pas cher !) Par contre il manque une piscine (détruite par Irma et pas encore reconstruite) et le site extérieur du Mont Vernon est vraiment vieux, détruis et mal entretenu. Les toits sont neufs et quelques lumières extérieures mais tout est plutôt ordinaire à vrai dire. Coin très tranquille vraiment par contre.

Great location! Great views!

We had a super time in St. Martin and the condo was just perfect. Clean, well appointed and Christian greeted us and helped with our luggage, nice touch! He was very thorough in explaining all the details of the studio, the island attractions and the helpful guidebook they put together for vacationers. The view! Lovely ground floor view right out at the turquoise waters and white sand beaches of Orient Bay. Often we would take the short drive to Orient Beach for nude sunbathing and swimming! But you could also walk along the beach to arrive st the same location. We rented a small car and were really thankful for that and the parking spot that comes with the property. We enjoyed driving all around the island and spent several evenings dining and watching the sunset in nearby Grand Case, just a few minutes drive. The people of the island are friendly and helpful. This was a great way for us to have a comfortable and quiet home base during our adventures. Thank you Christian and Chantal for a memorable trip!

This studio is lovely with a patio that overlooks Orient Bay. The owners are warm & welcoming. They provided us with all the information we needed to have a wonderful vacation. We have stayed in this studio three consecutive years and look forward to returning. We enjoyed sitting on the patio overlooking the water during the day or viewing the magnificent stars at night . We walked to restaurants and had relaxing days in the sun. This is a special place & you leave with treasured memories.

excellent place to discover the friendly island

Spent a few days here with my girlfriend. The apartment is clean, well equipped (see other reviews), and very well located to discover the island. You can walk in your swimming suit to the beach or swimming pool just a few steps away. Orient bay is one of the best beachs of the island. A short drive leads you to grand case, anse Marcel, or cul de sac to rent a kayak or take the little boat to pinel island. All of these places are very nice to visit. Chantal and Christian are very friendly and thoughtful. Just read the other reviews too. I confirm most of them. One last thing, consider renting a car. Unless you want to rely on cabs and spend most of your time in the area, which is fine too as there are many interesting things to do. Just the island being small is a misleading fact for walking or biking fans, because it is all pretty steep hills. Enjoy anyway, it is a lovely area.
