February stay at Villa Fantome
We spent a week with 8 friends in Sint Maarten and stayed at Villa Fantome. The property was better than advertised. It really was a beautiful villa and the views were spectacular. The property manager, Daryl, was a pleasure to work with and the owner even connected us with a private chef to come in and cook for us one evening. It was an experience we won’t forget and I would definitely rent this property again in the future.

Paradise found
Villa is everything it claims to be. Beautiful property, views, and great "jumping off" location to orient beach and other areas of interest. Only drawbacks were (1)the non-heated pool but that wasn't promised. It was very windy the weeks we were there (end of january) And (2) it wasn't an easy walk to beach. That said, it is an amazing property and the owners and villa manager are very easy to access.

**Unforgettable Family Stay at Villa Fantome**
Our family of 11 spanning three generations had an incredible week at Villa Fantome, celebrating two birthdays and our annual vacation. Gabi and her husband, the owners, were exceptionally attentive from start to finish, ensuring seamless communication and providing valuable tips through the property directory for exploring beautiful Sint Maarten. The villa's breathtaking views from every level and tranquil ambiance made it the perfect retreat. It's by far the best-stocked rental we've experienced, with every detail considered, including pantry items left by previous guests—a thoughtful touch that minimized waste. Daryl, the house manager, was like family to us, warmly welcoming us and promptly addressing any needs. He even cut fresh coconuts from the front yard, a highlight for the kids who also enjoyed catching hermit crabs just outside the door at night. Navigating the island posed a challenge initially with our original transportation company, but Daryl quickly introduced us to Wilfrid, who became our trusted guide. Wilfrid's familiarity with the island's roads and his warm personality made every journey safe and enjoyable. His local insights added depth to our exploration. Our first trip to Sint Maarten was a hit with the whole family, creating cherished memories and a longing to return. Villa Fantome and its hosts made our vacation truly special. We’re already planning our next visit! Rating: 5/5

Beautiful home with Beautiful View
Villa Fantome was the most beautiful home, on the inside as well as the outside. The views are stunning, the infinity pool is just perfect and the sea breeze was fabulous! The inside of the home is beautifully decorated and the supplies provided from coffee to ziplock bags to so many other items too numerous to mention, were most appreciated! We were also so thankful for the souvenir beach bags and the fresh flowers. Thank you Gabi for the excellent communication! You made planning this trip so much easier. Thank you Daryl for the escort to the Villa and the many other behind the scenes care you provided. My family were all so very happy to spend their vacation at such a gorgeous home. We would love to return in the future.

Paradise for a week with friends.
Our group of 12 were so excited to walk through the door of this beautiful property after many months of planning. The house fit our needs perfectly, 6 bedrooms each with a private bathroom worked well for our 6 couples. Dinners with tons of laughs around the huge kitchen island. Yoga in the livingroom one morning, coffee and a book on the balcony taking in the magnificent view. Many of our group got up early most morning to check out the sunrises. The few questions we had were answered quickly by Gabi and Daryl. I would highly recommend this property! Thanks for having us.

Perfection
For context, I am also a host, and travel frequently and almost always stay in STR. This is one of the best, if not the best property I have ever had the pleasure to stay. The property looks exactly like the photos. There is nothing you could need or want that has not been thought of in this home. We cooked almost daily and the kitchen is equipped with everything you need to make wonderful meals. The bedrooms are all spacious with comfortable beds, great water pressure and stunning views from each and every one. The whole place is meticulously thought out at every step and immaculately clean. The pool is absolutely perfect and the view is just magical. We walked down to Dawn beach just below the house one day, spent one day at Anse Marcel and another at Orient Bay. Somehow each beach even prettier than the last. We chartered a boat with CaptainJo and went to Anguilla one day, which I highly recommend. We did chef services with Fabulous Feasts for brunch 2 morning and dinner with chef Romaine one evening. We love having a chef come to the home on our trips and these 2 did not disappoint. Darryl was incredibly helpful and available at all times to ensure we our trip was excellent. Gabi was super responsive and gave us all the amazing recommendations we used to make our trip memorable. I would give more than 5 stars if I could.

Empty Nesters Getaway
Amazing stay at Villa Fantome! We had a great balance of enjoying the luxuries of the villa and exploring the island. We did a private boat charter which allowed us to visit Pinel and other remote islands at St Martin. We hired a steel drum band one evening and we had more fun and laughs than we ever could have imagined. We had a couple cars so we made some trips to some beaches and dinner as well. When we were at the villa we took advantage of all the beautiful rooms and their views— swimming, dancing, playing cards. The only thing that went wrong was the internet went out one of our last evenings and the men were disappointed they missed the NCAA basketball games. But just as Gabi mentioned, the property manager was there on the spot trying his best to remedy the problem. Gabi and the Villa staff go above and beyond to be sure you have a great vacation!

Amazing house in a great location
House on dawn beach was outstanding, clean and they thought of everything! Towels, beach towels, kitchen was stocked with appliances and utensils. Pool area and outdoor seatings areas were amazing, views incredible. Dawn beach has a beach club below (soon to be a JW Marriott) and we had access to all their amenities. Driving distance to French side and orient bay were 20 min, Simpson bay also 25 min so location perfect to see the island. Daryl the caretaker was super, kept in touch on what’s app and helped coordinate drivers. Gabi the owner was so thoughtful, helped with all beach chair and lunch and dinner reservations and even the grocery deliveries. Would highly recommend, suited our families very well, we were 3 adults and 6 older teenagers!
