Reviews of Studio Stmartin

we got free kayaks!!! free paddleboards and other cool games and stuff. That was such a nice bonus.

This is my second stay at Studio St.martin. One of the main reasons is the location of the apartment. Short car drive to beaches on French Side and best of all 10minutes to Grand Case where you can find some of the best restaurants on the island. Then when you get you can relax overlooking the Cul de Sac water front.

It was beautiful! It was right on the beach. We were able to kayak to Pinel island with no trouble. We even saw turtles on the way. We had three apartments and it was perfect for my family! We were close but had our own space. Everything was clean and comfortable!

It was on the beach, clean, and beautiful!

Location is amazing, surroundings of the house are beautiful, the beach, palm trees and aloe vera plants, you can watch colibris while preparing breakfast :) House slippers and bathrobes provided were useful too. In the kitchen there was even a blender so you van prepare fresh smoothies. Huge advantage are the kayaks that can be used to go to Pinel Island. Plus super friendly doggies :) Super nice.

There could be a bit more privacy, transparent windows in the bathroom and camera pointed at the apartment felt a bit weird but except for that, all good.

Good location, Sugar birds, kayaks, view.

Muddy beach, no toilet paper, no bin bags, kitchen cabinets need attention. A few cracked dishes. Loved the dogs, but not the poo.

Loved having kayaks available to use. The private outdoor kitchen/lounge area was also extremely nice and we made very good use of it. While the pool was small it was great to jump into and cool off after running, hiking, and kayaking.

We hadn't realized that we wouldn't be able to drink the water. Not a huge deal as filtered water was readily available from the grocery store. Everything was very clean except the linens, which were slightly stained. Odd housekeeping services - no tissues, limited toilet paper, and they only cleaned on our second day out of 5 days total. This was not a big deal for us, but might be for some. The ocean access was pretty mucky and we would not have enjoyed swimming from the beach here.

Bruno is such an amazing host, he made everything easy. We're so happy to have found such a place to stay at in Saint-Martin. We would definitely stay at his property again if we had to visit the island again. The dogs are so nice and smart : a quiet presence, which contributed to making our stay unique. The younger one swam to Pinel island to hang out with us on the beach, it was such a surprise to find him there. We had him hop on the kayak back to the house, which he enjoyed very much.

We liked everything. No hiccups whatsoever.

The property is gorgeous! Beautiful landscaping, palm trees, tropical blossoms, the pool, the bay, the sandy beach with the colorful kayaks, blues skies, a visual feast!

Everything you need. Free kayaks and only a 15 minute paddle to pinel island. The pool is right next to the private beach and has a great ocean view. Close to all the good restaurants but you don't have to deal with the noise. Also, the location has a merchandise shop in the garage where you can get souvenirs that are honestly better than most of the island for very good prices.

Nothing. Everything was great!

Very quiet. Peaceful. A bit out there but great if goy rent a car or just want to relax. A highlight was having free kayaks and a quick kayak trip to pinel island. The outdoor kitchen and lounge area was amazing!

Wish the room had fans but at least had AC.

Great quiet location but still close to supermarket and beaches. Nice to have the kayaks, we went to Pinel Island easily. Also close to Grand Case where we ended up dining often.

Bathroom is unique, mostly enlcosed but could be sealed off better. We had to keep the door to the bathroom closed to keep out bugs/lizards etc, which means it would get hot in there. Porch could use a screen to keep bugs out but they were few so no big deal. Coffee maker needs to be replaced. Pool could use some shade.

Unbelievably beautiful. The outdoor kitchen alone with that view makes the place. The bathroom is one of a kind and cool. Having a separate sleeping area for our son was great. Easy paddle to multiple islands. The dogs are hilarious.

A little hard to find the first time. Felt safe, good location generally speaking. Very tranquil & peaceful. Loved the proximity Oreint Bay & to Pinel Island. Enjoyed the kayaking over & the very sweet dogs.

Pool was very cold so we didn't go in.

Everything! It was the most ideal place to be, safe and quiet. A true paradise. The photos are exactly what you get in real life. Real life is even better. We loved every moment. We split our holiday into 2, visiting first the French part of the island and then the Dutch part. We wished we had booked the full holiday here. The owners Bruno and Carole are very kind people, and their 2 adorable, kind dogs made our holiday just perfect. We would definitely come back again.

That we had to leave!

This was the vacation I was looking for to relax for my week. Bruno and his wife are on site with any questions you may have.

Nothing really.

Fantastic place! The location: Our suite was one of the 2 on the ground level overlooking the backyard, pool, beach and harbour (get a seaview suite if you can). The pool and beach are right in your backyard. You can lounge around there or take the (free) kayaks to Pinel Island, about a 15-min easy paddle away. There are beautiful beaches and 2 bars and restaurants on Pinel. The beach on the property isn't ideal for swimming (but great for relaxing). We didn't have a car, but it would be very practical to have one. The nearest town is about a 20-30 min walk away, so stock up on groceries before you arrive. We took taxis everywhere so it wasn't much of a problem. Most trips we took were in the $12-20 range. There is also a restaurant that will deliver, it was very good and reasonably priced. The suite: The apartment was beautifuly decorated. The outdoor kitchen was a huge plus - great to look out at the ocean while you're washing up! The bathroom looks like it's out of a magazine - it's huge and there's an opening (screened) between the top of the walls and the roof, so it's like you have an outdoor bathroom, complete with rocks and plants as part of the flooring. Soundproofing between the suites seems to be great, as we often stayed up late drinking wine on our patio and the people next door didn't hear a thing. Bruno and Carole are absolutely adorable hosts, friendly, genuine, helpful and responsive. They have lovely dogs who will accompany you on all your adventures if you want - if not they're very polite! They guarded our door, walked all the way into town with us and even jumped in the ocean to follow us as we kayaked to Pinel Island! (The dogs; not the hosts ;-) Wonderful and memorable stay in St. Martin, highly recommend.

Private, right on the water, clean, well equipped, personable owners on site.

Nothing. Everything was amazing!

Amazing location, probably best in st Martin. Lovely comfortable room, kayaks at disposition to go to Pinel island or the lagoon just in front. The pool was lovely and perfectly placed with amazing views. kitchen was very well equipped to be able to make proper food (large fridge freezer, induction hob, non stick pan, good knives…) Secure parking for the car at night. last but not least, very welcoming hosts Bruno and Carol and their adorable two dogs who we fell in love with instantly.

Views and location. A kayak ride away from Pinel Island, snorkeling and hiking. A relaxing spot for couples or family. The cooking and bathrooms are outside which seemed a little uncomfortable to me at first but totally welcomed and now would prefer to have those amenities outside. We loved the location!! The days were spent on the property or Pinel Island or in town at Grand Case.

A little muddy getting into the kayaks but the property is in a bay so…. it’s what you’d expect.

The hosts gave us a free upgrade to the Pinel studio as it was unoccupied during our stay. The view is breathtaking any time of day and the covered porch, private pool, beach and use of kayaks all great. The apartment was spacious, cool, clean and very comfortable. Good information about local hikes, beaches etc.

Nothing, we had a great stay

Peaceful, quiet and private. Easy paddle to sandy Beach at Pinel Island.. Close to hiking trail with great vista's. Close to beautiful beach on the windy wavy side.

The water was churned up and windy when I was there so I missed the crystal clear flat beaches and the clear rocky areas for snorkeling. Be prepared for tiny sand fleas and mosquitoes when it is not windy.
