Jan 2008, For selfish reasons, we are hesitant to tell the world what we think of the Villas.  If everyone knows how WONDERFUL it is, everyone will want to stay there!  We would like it to stay just as it is.....the best kept secret in the Caribbean!  We stayed for a month in January and we are already planning a return trip next year!   At the Villas you will find what you will NEVER find at your average resort - an uncrowded white sand beach at your doorstep, an uncrowded swimming pool, lounge chairs galore with lots of room between them, peace and quiet, privacy, and.....best of all, a manager (Josh) who knows you by name, actually CARES about you, and goes out of his way to make your stay comfortable and enjoyable!  The villas have everything you need and, if you are missing something, Josh will take care of it.  The little nearby grocery store is a great convenience and the prices are reasonable.  It is so nice to have Philipsburg close enough to walk to but far enough away that you don't even notice it's there.  Watching the beautiful cruise ships from your front door is amazing!  Driving on the island is a breeze - don't hesitate to rent a car (Josh takes care of that, too!) and see the sights, visit the many beautiful beaches, experience the dining and shopping on the French side (St. Martin), and......don't miss a feed-up of ribs at one of the seaside BBQ's in Grand Case!  Yummy and cheap!
