August 2026

S., Villa Foxie, 7 - Switzerland August 15 - 22, 2026 Perfect Spot !!

The pictures exactly reflect the villa, it is spacious and very colorful. It is situated right in front of the beach and sea, with the swimming pool to the side. My little girls could run from pool to sea and back. Little shop and restaurants near by. It's a very nice location. S.

Lynster J., Villa #4 - July 1 - 11, 2026 Cleanliness !!

Wally was very responsive and made sure our stay was everything we planned for. You are right on the beach and the pool was right outside our door. We pretty much had exclusive use of the pool since not many people actually used it which was a treat. The home is beautiful and has everything you need to cook, beach towels and everything you can think of for staying away from your home. Lynster J.
G., Villa #4 - July 25 - 30, 2026 Great Location !!

Great location with access to shopping and of course the beach. The rooms are clean and spacious and you can’t beat the view. Wally was an excellent host and you must try the pizza. G.
Heather B., Villa #2 - July 16 - 21, 2026 Amazing !!

This property was amazing! We came for a girls trip and had everything we needed and of course the island didn’t disappoint. Doug and Wally were both excellent to work with and made sure we were taken care of and gave us recommendations and answered all of our questions. Heather B.
Shabbir B., Villa #4 - July 16 - 23, 2026 Exceptional !!

Our stay at villa #4 was nothing short of exceptional. The villa itself was charming and well-equipped, with a lovely pool and direct access to a beautiful beach. Wally the Manager, was extremely helpful and knowledgeable about the local area, providing us with valuable insights and recommendations. Would highly recommend the villas to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable Caribbean vacation. Shabbir S.

June 2026

Tammala B., Villa #9 - June 6 - 13, 2026 Great !!

Wally the manager is great to work with. Unit was clean. Great beach view. Well stocked kitchen. Easy walk to Philipsburg for meals. Can watch cruise ships come in, but are are enough away that the people don’t bother you as you relax. Get a small car as parking is tight. Tammala B.

May 2026

Natalie B., Villa #9 - May 9 - 12, 2026 Perfect !!

The pictures were accurate. The location was perfect. It was walking distances from Phillipsburg. The ocean was right there. Wally, the property manager, was very responsive before arriving and during my stay. This was a very relaxing trip. Thank you! Natalie B.

April 2026

Serena P., Villa #2 - April 8 - 14, 2026 Incredible !!

What an incredible place! Exceptional communication with Host. Onsite manger that was there to greet us, bring newspaper in the morning and say good bye. He also promptly change propane tank when needed. Host gave us a very thorough handout with information about complex and all the beaches, favorite sights and restaurants. All that were excellent choices. We referred to the packet of info throughout our trip. The place was spotless, we saw no bugs, not one. And very comfortable. Quiet end of the beach in Phillipsburg. Great pool and right on the beach. Friendly people in the complex including year round residents that didn’t mind seeing new faces in their small complex. Check in was great because we were greeted upon arrival and were given helpful instructions for our stay. Truly a glorious week for both couples. Serena P.
Jeff W., Villa #2 - March 28 - April 4, 2026 Perfect !!

The villa was perfect!! Close to the water, close to the pool, and close to the shops in Philipsburg. This was our second stay at the Villas and we will continue to book our stay on the island here. Jeff W.

March 2026

Sue M., Villa #9 - March 11 - 20, 2026 Best Vacation !!

We had the best vacation in St. Maarten stayed once again at The Villas Great Bay. Have vacationed at The Villas many times since 2014. This time, March 2026 for 10 nights, in Villa #9. We loved it! Villa #9 is perfect. We travelled with family. It was great to have privacy on our beautiful lanai, being the end unit, with an extended patio facing the beach. Also loved the side breezeway with the outdoor shower, bbq area and lit garden. Villa #9 is unique. The owner, Luca, offers fantastic customer service and couldn't have been more attentive with our booking. Everything well stocked. Beautiful Villa inside and out. Wally is the Manager and always makes sure you are comfortable. Thank you Luca for everything and helping us make more memories at your beautiful Villa. Can't wait for another vacation at The Villas. Sue M.

February 2026

Susan Z., Villa #9 - February 4 - 6, 2026 Excellent !!

This place was amazing! Great location on the beach, with privacy. The views were memory making, especially the sunsets! The decor and floor plan was refreshing being it was a duplex style set up. We loved it here, and to top it off was Wally the manager… he was the best of the best I wish he was at all the rentals we go to. We were SO lucky to have him on staff! Susan Z.

Keith & Cindy O., Villa #9 - USA January 26 - Feb 4, 2026 See You Again Next Year !!

We stayed in villa 9 and Wally is the manager. Wally is great. He is there to answer any questions, assist you in any way and professional. We have been going to the villas for many years and it’s so nice to see him and others we developed a friendship with. Our recent visit Wally like always makes sure all is set. We left and got to the airport and I realized I forgot my pocketbook at the villa, I was panicked because my passports, credit cards, cash, etc. were in it. My husband called Wally and he found, secured and had a driver bring it to the airport. The owners of the villa should be so pleased and confident to have Wally manage the units. Thanks again Wally Keith & Cindy O.

Glen W, Villa #4 - January 5 - 12, 2026 Excellent !!

Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy. Terrific location, Walter, the manager, always available and eager to help with anything regarding the premises or the area. Glen W.
Ann U, Villa #7 Foxie - Portugal January 17 - 31, 2026 Exceptional !!

The location is fantastic and the contact with the owner worked very well. The villa works great for 4 people with its own bathroom and large kitchen and living room. The location on the beach invites you to many wonderful swimming and beach walks. Everything works and it is well equipped and clean. Ann U.
Barbara R, Villa #2 - January 1 - 9, 2026 Excellent !!

The host was very communicative before we got there. The villa was perfect for our family! Barbara R.
Diamond J, Villa #12 - January 2026 Highly Recommend !!

I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to stay in Unit 12 at Villas on Great Bay in Sint Maarten during January. As an airline employee who has traveled all over the world, I can honestly say this property is a rare gem. The unit offers true comfort, cleanliness, relaxation, and feels like a peaceful oasis away from the world. The grounds are exceptionally well maintained—free from debris and thoughtfully cared for. The pool is beautiful and sits just steps from the shoreline, which is one of the highlights of this property. The beach itself is calm, clean, free from peddlers, and has a gentle slope into the crystal-clear Caribbean Sea. The views are spectacular, especially watching the cruise ships arrive, and everything you need—restaurants, bars, and activities—is just a very short walk away, adding adventure and convenience without sacrificing peace and quiet. I also want to highlight the on-site manager, Serge. His hospitality went far beyond expectations. He provided not only excellent customer service, but also a genuine sense of safety and care. Anytime I had questions or concerns, he was calm, kind, and attentive—and often walked me personally to places rather than just giving directions. His gentle manner and approachability truly enhance the experience and make this property feel special. This is truly a special place in the world, and I am so grateful I found it. Diamond J.
Hilary & Barbara R, Villa #2 - January 1 - 9, 2026 Exceptional !!

This was a very nice place to stay. The condos are 2 story with 2 bedrooms. Ours had 2 baths while others have one and a half. The condos were well-equipped and are all individually owned by owners who sometimes use them. The Villas are on the beach at the end of Philipsburg, with a easy walk down the beach to the "boardwalk," where the restaurants and shops are located. There is a nice pool near the beach. Serge, the property manager, was helpful. The host was very communicative before we got there. The villa was perfect for our family! Hilary & Barbara R.
Dov S, Villa #7 Foxie - January 10 - 17, 2026 Exceptional !!

Beautiful, clean villa. Right on the beach. Excellent location! Dov S.

November 2025

Maryam, Villa #7 Foxie - Netherlands November 22 - 27, 2025 Villa Foxie is Amazing !!

The hostess is an extremely sweet woman. The house is very clean. The view from the room is fantastic That we had to work and didn't have enough time to properly explore the island. We were also surprised by the surcharges for debit card payments on the service. And besides the beach, everything closes again at 6pm. Maryam
