Villas on Great Bay Villa Foxie

Unit #6 was awesome! We spent wonderful days there. The place was clean and large. The view from the patio overlooking the ocean was phenomenal. Serge, the manager was very helpful for any questions. This was easily one of the most relaxing vacations ever.

I stayed in Villa 7. Rose Marie owns this one. She started out very nice until it was time to check out. She asked if everything was alright and I said, yes, mostly, just a couple things. She immediately got defensive before I could explain that it would be nice to have remote controls for the TV's. She had them to turn the box attached to the TV, but we had to get up to turn the TV on and off. Also, I kindly mentioned we could have brought hand soap, foil, baggies and such had we known she wasn't providing it. I had emailed her before coming to see if we should bring anything and she said the villa was fully stocked. Her pans were awful except for one frying pan. She has the oven all taped up, so it wasn't usable. She did provide a small toaster oven but you can only put so much in there. I wasn't even going to bring all of that up. She got in my face and wouldn't stop screaming at me. I asked her to please calm down, that is wasn't that bad to make such a scene. She has also created a lot of drama and chaos with some of the other owners. I have stayed here many times but not since she moved here. It's a shame because it was always one of my favorite places in SXM. I am a travel agent and have been for 40 years. Date of stay: May 2024 Room Tip: If you do rent this one, take hand soap, foil, baggies and pepper shaker. I would rent from other owners but not her. Stay clear of Rose Marie and Villa 7.

I stayed in Villa 9. Rose Marie owns this one. She started out very nice until it was time to check out. She asked if everything was alright and I said, yes, mostly, just a couple things.

Location; just about perfect. Walkable to small grocery store. Many small restaurants of all types of cuisine, nothing fancy, just beachfront bar/restos but the few we tried were very good. Fine dining restos are a taxi ride away. Unless a cruise ship is docked, many restos close doors about 5 pm if they open at all. The views are amazing, water colours are beautiful blues and greens. The ocean is 15 paces from the villas and the beach is lovely and almost deserted. The steep hills nearby present a nice backdrop but also block views of sunsets. The roads are narrow, very hilly and heavily travelled. Sidewalks desperately need major reconstruction. I recommend cab or bus to get around. The locals were all so polite, friendly and welcoming. Unit 6 appeared cheaply furnished, feathers falling out of well worn pillows on couches but beds are king sized and comfy. Living room has two large clumsy chaise lounges for seating, highly unsuitable and never used. Water pressure was poor and water temperature was never hot enough in the showers or washing dishes. Some fresh paint inside would be a good investment I was unable to figure out how to get good service from the t.v.s. My bedroom t.v. twice came on when no one was there and would turn off when no one was there. Annoying at night. The kitchen is fully equipped and roomy enough. I expected a bit more considering the cost of rental. For these reasons I rate unit 6 at 3.5 out of 5. Serge, the complex go to guy seemed always around when needed and eager to please. I wish he was my neighbour back home. It was great to get home for a long hot shower with more than a trickle of water. Would I return, maybe, but unit 6 would not be a choice

We, along with our group of friends travelled to the Villa's for the 5th time, this past January. There are just not enough words to express how wonderful it is. As a group, we stayed in villa #2, #3, #4 and it is perfect in every way! Wally is one of the managers and let me tell you, he is the best of the best. He makes sure everything is in order and perfect for your stay. He pops in to check on things and to ensure you are happy and have everything you need. Of course, he is only a message away for anything you may need. For many reason, including that, we consider the villa's to be our home away from home. We have many more years planned to continue staying in our favourite place, The Villas, St Maarten our wonderful friends there!
