Wonderful stay at this property with a lovely view of the ocean. The studio is well equipped for a family of 3. Many of the amenities (beach towels, beach chairs, washer etc) were very appreciated. Julia was very nice and responsive. She allowed us to check out later which was very accomodating.
Property was exactly as portrayed in the photos. Great place for two people. Very quiet and right on the beach.
The host (Julia) was delightful and easy to deal with. A car is recommended but you can walk to Marigot if you like.
Wonderful place - would stay again. Great value for money
Barely adequate would be my description of the See View condo I rented from 2/17 to 3/2/24. I have stayed in many places during my last 50 years of traveling. And I have stayed in two other units at The Anse de Sables residence and a friend stayed in a third unit. All of those units were wonderful.
The unit this year has numerous problems, some just basic maintenance issues: the bathroom door doesnât close fully, the deck doors lock does not work without Herculean effort. So they remained unlocked. And there was no room safe. Fortunately the unit was on the second floor so relatively secure.
The layout is very poor with limited storage spaces for guests clothing and other things. Few drawers or shelves to put things away - so all items were cluttering the few flat surfaces. Silverware and baking dishes were stored in the single chest of drawers.
Three other units that Iâm familiar with are the exact same square footage but are a world above this one in comfort. Itâs as if only what was absolutely necessary to rent the unit was provided. On the plus side, there were two beach chairs provided.
The kitchen has just barely the basics - no covers for pans, no measuring instruments. No wastebasket in the bathroom. The bathroom and kitchen towels were initially in very limited supply - as were the bed linens. There wasnât even a roll of paper towels to start us off. There was one tiny scrap of soap in the bathroom, not even wrapped.
Quiet, comfortable space with good location within walking distance to Marigot.
The property is an older building that used to be a Hotel. It seems to have Vrbo units and full time residents staying in units. Everyone was polite and kept to themselves. The room we rented was well equipped with everything we needed. There were beach chairs, beach towels, bug spray, an umbrella and reusable grocery bags. Julia was a very informative host that makes you feel comfortable from the moment you meet her on the street. The property has a front gate that you are given a key for. This makes the space feel quite secure and safe.
There was construction at the Beach Plaza beside us, but it wasnât too loud. The dark hallways were kinda of gloomy, but we understand the need to save energy, you just have to push the light switches to turn on the lights. The bed was a bit too firm for us. There is no elevator. The small private beach was nice and quiet, with 6 people being the most out there at one time. There is a rusty boat in the water at the beach, it made for some cool sunset photos. We didnât really feel comfortable swimming at the beach.
It was a short walk to restaurants, grocery stores and shops.
The property was advertised very close to what it was really like. We would recommend this property to other travellers who are looking for a smaller, quiet, safe place to stay that is within walking distance to everything in Marigot.
