Perfect for any family or friend’s getaway. Everything was wonderful. The only thing we experienced that was not so great was the WiFi and we weren’t able to get the TV’s working. We didn’t miss it much since we were out and about during the day and in the evening we enjoyed the ambiance and each other. Overall we gave it a 10\. ##### marisol v.

Cathy and the IRE team were so communicative and helpful. We took their recommendation for a chef for two nights, which was amazing. The location is walkable and convenient to groceries and many restaurants. It can get loud at night with music from nearby bars/clubs, but otherwise outstanding time here.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Sol Y Mar was the perfect rental for our vacation. We had 6 adults and 2 children (3 & 1). The unit layout provided everyone with necessary privacy and also allowed us to feel together as a family. The kitchen was well stocked, the location was unbeatable, and the staff was amazing. We thoroughly enjoyed Green House Restaurant directly downstairs. Super convenient! We also frequented Buccaneer Beach Bar and enjoyed ourselves. A few things I feel worth mentioning... the noise from outside establishments can get loud (which didn't bother us- we used sound machines to drown it out). We were planning on using the crib for our 1 year old, however we did find the crib to be in poor condition and the mattress was significantly stained. BUT, due to the location and amenities you might not want to leave. Overall this was a fabulous unit. We will 100% never look elsewhere for a rental. This was amazing and we are already looking forward to returning! ##### Samantha C.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location of this home is unbeatable! Located on top of a restaurant with another beach bar next door as well! Private pool was amazing to come back to after a long day of island exploring. Beautiful sunrises from the ocean can be seen from the balcony. Our family loved the options this home provided to spread out & all to have our own space, together. The private parking spot in a busy area like this was a big win also! Nightly music could be enjoyed in the rooftop pool without having to leave the rental but wasn’t too loud to allow for early bedtime either. I almost hate to share how great this place is & let the secret out since we want to go back & want it available. We will be back! ##### misty l.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The 6 of us had such a great time!! The location to stores and to the beach was just perfect. I think the best thing about it was the access to the beach bar as well as the restaurant downstairs. Also nice being served food and drink while sitting on the beach. Some sargassum but not too bad. The pool was also nice to have, but in September it gets a little warm and it is quite shallow. I think the only downside is that for some reason housekeeping comes twice a week for at least 7 hours each time. For people like us, that is just not needed. My sister in law was lying down in her bedroom trying to get some rest and the housekeeper went and knocked on her door. Small issue, but still. I don't know if we could have requested less housekeeping or not. Probably our fault for not asking. Besides that small inconvenience, AWESOME!! ##### Rick D.

Clean, spacious and perfect location! I have been coming to the island for years so was very familiar with this area so already knew it was a perfect location close to many amazing restaurants and activities. The villa was spacious, clean and well equipped. The owners and caretakers were extremely responsive and kind. The villa had everything we needed and more! We had 7 of us stay there and we all had plenty of our own space, lots of shared common space both inside and out. We also really enjoyed having our own private pool. Highly recommend this place to anyone! ##### Kelley L.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The villa was clean, had a FANTASTIC location, excellent views, and was in the center of night life. We could not have picked a better location for our stay. Literally steps from the beach, 3 restaurants, and grocery stores. Had it's own dedicated parking space which wave very helpful and the private pool was amazing. Would definitely stay again! ##### Phil T. ### 10/10 Excellent #### mark w. 24 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect!! Sol y Mar was the perfect place for our vacation to St. Martin! The beach is only 20 steps from the front door, the inside space is huge and the outdoor space with the pool is amazing! The kitchen has all the pots/pans/cups/utensils that you will need and bathrooms are stocked with soap, shampoo, shower gel, etc. and lots of towels for showers as well as numerous beach towels. Maia and Cathy from IRE were extremely helpful before and during our trip. Huge thanks to them. You will not be disappointed if you decide to stay at this property! ##### mark w.

The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The Sol Y Mar is where we stayed for a week in January/19\. The location cannot be beat! The actual penthouse apartment is absolutely beautiful. we were 8 adults. We have been to SXM several times but this was probably one of our best stays yet. Maia at IRE was excellent to deal with. Everything went smooth. The outside sitting areas are lovely in the villa. But,,,location is just about the best on the island. We have always loved the Simpson Bay area,,with so many places to eat, dance, etc within walking. I would highly recommend this place for a wonderful, clean, safe place to stay. Parking was avail. Only one suggestion is to have TV's in bedroom, as stated in advertisement for the villa. There was only one tv in the main living room. Other than that, everything was excellent. ##### Meg Y. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotels near Robertson Quay](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Robertson-Quay-Hotels.0-l6161214-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels near Milton Keynes](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Milton-Keynes-Hotels.d553248629175259044.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels with Airport Transfers in Cape Town](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Hotel-With-Airport-Transfers.0-0-d6046820-thotelwithairporttransfers.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Ashford](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ashford-Hotels.d4552.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [5 Star Hotels in Morzine](https://www.expedia.co.uk/5Star-Morzine-Hotels.s50-0-d500423.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Port de Plaisance Resort, Trademark Collection by Wyndham](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cole-Bay-Hotels-Princess-Port-De-Plaisance.h33411163.Hotel-Information) > > [Arabian Dreams Deluxe Hotel Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dubai-Hotels-Arabian-Dreams-Deluxe-Hotel-Apartments.h2143430.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Kigoma](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Kigoma.d553248635997993043.Hotel-Destinations) > > [Aparthotels Cotswolds](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cotswolds-Apart-Hotels.d553248622845059959-aaApartHotels.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Hotels near Gants Hill Underground Station](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gants-Hill-Underground-Station-Hotels.d6145885.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotel London Tartu](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tartu-Hotels-Hotel-London-Tartu.h9278833.Hotel-Information) > > [Adults Only Resorts & Hotels in Timisoara](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Timisoara-Hotels-Adults-Only-Resorts.0-0-d3546-tAdultsOnlyResorts.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Ooty](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ooty-Hotels.d6234125.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in County Kerry](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-County-Kerry.d603084.Hotel-Destinations) > > [Hotels in Portaferry](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Portaferry-Hotels.d12046.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Pier House 60 Clearwater Beach Marina Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/St-Petersburg-Clearwater-Hotels-Pier-House-60-Clearwater-Beach-Marina-Hotel.h1622046.Hotel-Information) > > [The Atrium Beach Resort and Spa, an Ascend Collection Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Simpson-Bay-Hotels-Atrium-Beach-Resort-And-Spa-St-Maarten-A-Ramada-By-Wyndham.h1746391.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Leatherhead](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Leatherhead-Hotels.d182570.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Phoenix Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Phoenix-Hotel.h11006.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from London (LON-All Airports) to Dublin (DUB)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lon/dub/london-to-dublin) ### Cars ### Activities ### Packages > [Monolithi Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monolithi-Beach-Epirus.d553248635976063133.Attraction) > > [The Meadows](https://www.expedia.co.uk/The-Meadows-Southside.d6152250.Attraction) ### Holiday Rentals ### General > [Visit Clenchwarton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Clenchwarton.dx3000011915) ---
