We had an excellent stay. The view from the balcony was breathtaking - we enjoyed watching the cruise ships arrive and depart, the beach and distant hills. We could even spot the island of Saba I believe. Apartment was spacious, kitchen was well stocked. There was a mixup with our dates and the apartment wasn't ready or cleaned when we checked in, but upon contacting Debra, she ensured Chris got in touch and got cleaning crew to get the apartment ready for us. Other than the initial hiccup, everything went very well for us, and we would love to come back! Thanks!

Real gem!

We loved everything about our stay at Vista Royale! Favorite thing to do was open up the glass doors and take it all in. We could never get tired of that view! The outdoor space is just perfect. So fun to watch the cruise ships arrive in the morning and set sail in the evening. The kids loved the infinity pool and its lighting at night. Chris, the property manager, could not be more accommodating. Comfy beds, fast Wi-Fi, and nice updates. We had everything we needed for an amazing Christmas vacation. Can’t wait to come back!

Beautiful Home With Panoramic View

Hello - just want to thank Deb for allowing us to stay at her beautiful home for 11 days during the 2023/2024 holidays. The home was beautifully decorated and we felt at home. We wanted for nothing. Loved the panoramic view of the marina - yachts/ships/tourists - which kept us busy. Fireworks display was something to see and enjoy from the balcony. This place was superb! Relaxing, invigorating and peaceful. Thank you again!

The condo was great! The views were incredible and the condo was very comfortable and well stocked. If you like watching the sunset, this is the place for you!If you plan to explore the island, and I hope you would, you'll need a car. There are wonderful restaurants and shops that you won't want to miss. I didn't see it mentioned on the description, but there are (sturdy) spiral steps from the front door down to the living level. When we return to the island, we will DEFINiTELY stay here again because it has all of the amenities on our list.

Beautiful property and views

Amazing experience at Deb's property, the condo has been recently remodeled and looks fantastic. The kitchen is well-equipped with everything to prepare meals. The outdoor space is even better than it looks in the photos, so nice to have a private pool and be able to watch the cruise ships sail in and out every day. Definitely would stay here again without hesitation!

Spectacular

We have stayed here before. While the Villa was perfect before, it is more stunning now with the owner’s recent renovations. The property manager was courteous and responsive to a couple of minor issues. View is extraordinary over the port of Phillipsburg. We hope to return.

All the comforts of home

This rental is a hidden gem! The house is well cared for with all of the amenities you need. We could live here, no problem! The pool and the view are spectacular! Beautiful sunsets! The port below is active with cruise ships during the day and cargo ships some nights but not an issue for us. This was our first time in St Martin and if we return we would love to rent this home again.

Paradise

We enjoyed our stay in St. Marteen very much, there was an issue the 1st 2 days we was at the rental, the ac inthe living room was not cooling and it was very hot. I spoke to the owner, she promptly sent maintenence over (Chris is an absolute gem). Chris could not get the air fixed is the only reason it took 2 days to repair, this was out of there hands, however they tried. After that, the vacation was very nice, the rental views and description are not done justice by the photos, I could sit out onthe back patio for hours. Thank you for the lovely stay, we would definitely stay here again

More than we could have asked for!

We stayed at Vista Royale for two weeks March 27, 2016. The condo was beautiful and clean. We had everything we needed and more! The view was to die for. Getting up in the morning with a coffee and sitting on the patio was the ultimate relaxation! St. Martin is our favourite island and we hope to return to Vista Royale in the future. Thank you Debra and Laurence for sharing your beautiful condo with us. It is a little piece of heaven!

31st Wedding Anniversary Trip

This was our 3rd trip to Saint Martin and this was the BEST VRBO experience. The home is spectacular in every way - your renovations were so wonderful! You've thought of everything when planning for your visitors! Thank you for having the wonderful AC unit too! :) The views at Point Blanche are truly magical. We enjoyed the island daily, but raced home each day to enjoy Sunset Happy Hour from our own private porch and pool. Watching the cruise ships and barges along the port was truly a treat! Thank you again!!!

Great first time in St. Maarten

We were very happy with our stay at this property. The views are so much nicer in person (not that they are bad in pictures, it's just that amazing when you are there). The property is spacious, and well equipped. I would recommend getting a rental car though, I'm not sure getting taxi's to/from this location would be feasible unless you didn't plan on venturing out often. Our kids really enjoyed the pool each day. Also, the wifi connection is great, for those like us where a good internet connect is vital. Communication with the owners was also great, and they went above and beyond resolving a minor issue we had during our stay. We would definitely recommend staying at this property and will likely return if we go back to St. Maarten in the future.

Gorgeous getaway

The house is spectacular. Very clean, private and with great views. The kitchen is fully stocked. Very quiet, and peaceful. The bugs do get bad when the wind is not there, but bug spray takes care of that. The property manager, Chris is so friendly and responsive. We went with my in-laws who were taking a cab to the property, the cab drivers do not know how to get here. This happened 2 more times on our stay. Make sure you know the address and can find it on google maps. Chesterfields restaurant is a great landmark before you turn off the main road.
