Luxury rentals in Little Bay

We had a great trip and Villa Giselle was the perfect accommodation for our large group. We had 9 adults and we all had plenty of space throughout the villa. The view was amazing and we were able to catch some incredible sunsets. Our group spent a great amount time in the pool and lounging on the green sofas outside. We loved how open the villa was. This was our first time visiting SXM and we will be back. We had an amazing concierge who met us at the villa and walked us through everything when we checked in. She was available all throughout our stay to assist with any questions and recommendations. She even helped book a last minute boat charter. The concierge and all her hard work definitely made the trip 100%!

Absolutely beautiful home with stunning sunrise to sunset views. The double-decker pool was a highlight for sure. Comfortable bedrooms and spacious bathrooms, well appointed kitchen and plenty of seating inside and out to keep everyone comfortable. Toddler/ Family friendly. Exceptional staff -- Jenny, Marius, Edward & Stephen were all wonderful & attentive. We've truly couldn't have had a better time and hope to come back!

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this lovely beach rental, and I can't say enough good things about the experience. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm hospitality from Mehdi, our host. He went above and beyond to make sure we felt welcome and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The house itself was spotless, thanks to Agatha, the diligent housekeeper. Every corner of the rental was immaculately clean, and it was evident that she takes great pride in her work. The beach views were stunning, and the amenities provided were top-notch. Mehdi was always available to answer any questions and offer local tips, making our stay even more enjoyable. Agatha's attention to detail ensured that we felt right at home. If you're looking for a relaxing beach getaway with exceptional service, I highly recommend this rental.

Our family enjoyed a week-long stay in this villa. As soon as you walk in the door, the sunning deck + infinity pool + ocean view immediately make you lose whatever train of thought you were on. And the living room's big sliding glass wall and decoration/furniture frame it well. That "what a brain-wiping view" effect persisted through a week of excursions as we drove around in our rental car. Family members kept commenting on how much they were able to relax in this setting, and how far away their brains got from mainland worries. While the view was distracting us the whole stay, Axel (concierge) and Lydia (housekeeping) did a great job behind the scenes helping us get the most out of the island, providing restaurant lists and helping us navigate all the villa amenities. The drive into the neighborhood includes a pretty steep hill. The rental car did fine in low gear going up, and with some heavy braking going down, but I'd brace for it if you're driving. Combined with the smaller/bumpier island roads, driving is its own experience in my opinion! The two nearby beaches are enough of a vertical climb, and there are enough nearby villas/walls/obstacles that we didn't attempt the walk (or ask how we even do the walk). The drive to Friar's bay beach is quick, and a walking path connects them. This villa seems like a fortress because it needs to survive hurricanes like the monstrous Irma in 2017. The pandemic came in behind and it felt like the island is still recovering from a one-two punch to its economy. For us, the walls/gates/etc performed double duty as security. We got to interact with the French police a bit (they too kept getting sidetracked by the view!) at the end of our stay because a burglar tried and failed to gain access. It felt random and unlucky, but maybe worth keeping in mind. Axel did great recommending we close up the villa doors/windows at night and insisting on common-sense care with valuables.

What an absolutely lovely vacation! If you are a nature lover, this property and the view are everything you could ever dream of! All of the modern amenities that a city dweller would be accustomed to: good wifi, powerful ac units, TVs in every room, a super modern kitchen with 2 refrigerators and 2 freezers, plus a wine cooler. But completely immersed in nature! We had a few small hiccups upon arrival - a bit of water in the master room, and an issue with one of the bedroom doors closing: both were addressed immediately and we had no more issues for the remainder of the trip. We decided to get a chef for the week, and it was just magical! We felt so special and catered to by Chef Francky, Maria, Rodolfo, and the rest of his incredible team! Also the housekeeper June was so lovely and Cheyenne was very helpful. This was an absolute dream vacation for our family and friends - our first time in St. Martin, but will definitely not be our last!

Outstanding accommodations the view from the pool is breathtaking and the home is top notch. The team that comes with the house is really what makes the trip worth wild. Dana is extremely kind and does a great job making you feel right at home. The owners are definitely lucky to have someone like her watching over the day to day. We also had a private dinner with chef Julian and his team they were phenomenal! Please be sure to stop by his bakery (Jules bakery) for the best baked goods on the island. If we ever visit again we wouldn’t want to stay anywhere else. Thank you for the flawless vacation.

We had a great stay and the property was amazing ! The vast outdoor area with multiple seating / dining options , gazebo, landscaping, pool , beach access , well equipped house/kitchen- all were wonderful. The villa location felt safe - inside a gated area surrounded by large private villas. Great location close to stores , restaurants and other beaches , not walkable though - one definitely needs a car . Unfortunately there were some rocks on the beach near villa so we couldn’t swim there but one could get to a beautiful sandy side of the beach by car ( 1 minute away) or just walk 10 minutes. There are also multiple beautiful beaches nearby with beach service that are a short drive away. We were initially surprised that all 4 bedrooms were essentially 4 separate bungalows with a separate kitchen/living room building but since we ended up staying outside most of the time , the house layout worked great for us . Thank you for a great vacation and wonderful memories!

This was the best vacation for our family hands down!!! It started with the wonderful O our driver, along Cheyenne, our concierge, who was extremely responsive and helpful all week. She made sure we were well taken care of. From beach reservations, transportation, to great awesome dinner suggestions. Additionally, we had an awesome chef, Amanda Wit who provided local cuisine family style which was perfect for us. Fresh local food with a wonderful, electric personality. Our butler/bartender Kevin Lahire provided awesome drinks and even gave us a master class on a creation of a drink he made just for us, the Newell martini. Do yourself a favor, book them, you won't regret it. Last but not least Liela, our housekeeper was warm, friendly. and kept the villa sparkling-she was a gem. Wow!!! The villa was everything and more. The views of the ocean and the sunsets will remain etched in my mind when I need a reminder. St. Martin and LA hacienda owes us nothing. Until next time!
