Family Vacation

We had a wonderful vacation in Saint Martin & enjoyed our stay at Villa Steel Magnolia! The location was perfect. The house was the perfect fit for our group of 14! The layout of the house was perfect & provided ample space for us all. Having a beautiful pool to come back to after enjoying the beaches was delightful!! Neville, the property manager was great & was always attentive to the questions we had.We would highly recommend this property!

Wonderful property by beautiful beach!

Traveled with two families of 4. We loved the proximity to Baie Rouge beach. The pool was well maintained and wonderful to sit by. Home was great for a large group with plenty of bedrooms and separate villas with their own kitchenette. Neville was super helpful in touring the property and making sure we had what we needed for the week. Would recommend.

Holiday Getaway

Our extended family (14) loved the house, the location with a lovely new pool and the beach just outside the gate. Neville was just a text away when the city water went out for a couple of days. The house has a cistern which accommodated us easily!

Excellent Property, Location, and Owner/Manager

This is a great house for a large family or multiple families. Perfect location for equal drives to every spot-Simpson Bay, Orient, Anse Marcel, etc. Very roomy, easily fit 14, maybe more with couches. Very nice pool area to hang out, great walk to an amazing beach. Loved the iguanas! Property is managed by an awesome guy-Neville. He was so helpful in many ways. Best VRBO experience I have had!

Wonderful vacation

We had an amazing week at Villa Steel Magnolias. The villa itself and the pool are wonderful and the location is great. The beach area that is a very short walk out the back door is beautiful and seemingly never crowded. Neville the property manager was excellent at anticipating our needs and making sure everything went smoothly. Five stars for everything! Can't wait to return!

Great place!

This house sits in the perfect spot. Right next to Baie Rouge and not too far from anything. (Except Oyster pond.) So much space, but the best is the outdoor space. There's a fabulous pool with an outdoor living room and dining room.

Steel Magnolias is expensive, but well worth the price!

The villa management was in contact with us early, and was very responsive to our every question, or need, before and during our stay. Neville (aka Yellow) was wonderfully attentive and responsible throughout. We had a wonderful time. The villa provided restful comfort, and an easy place from which to explore the island.

Fantastic Villa with a wonderful Staff

Everything we wanted and more. Steps away from beautiful Baie Rouge beach and close to Maho, Cupecoy and Marigot. We had a group of 11 and the villa was never cramped. Great pool and deck with a wonderful area to sit a relax after a day at the beach. It was a true home away from home, our group all said they will return.

Family Vacation

Great time. Neville and the staff took care of the place and us. House was as advertised. Plenty of room for 12 of us. Beach steps from the house. Good location, 15 minutes from the airport. Only downside - toilets need the mechanisms changed as they were extremely slow in filling up between flushes. Highly recommend this place!

Beautiful private villa

We had such a wonderful time at Villa Steel Magnolias. The house was very clean, bedrooms were spacious and comfortable. We spent a good deal of time at the pool or at the beautiful beach so close to the house. Mark was very quick to respond to any questions we had during the booking and our stay. Neville was SO incredibly helpful and kind. Anything we needed during our stay, he took care of. We would absolutely stay here again. Close to markets, restaurants, and yet quiet and private. Great vacation!

Birthday celebration

Steel Magnolias villa worked very well for our family. It was a generous size for all of us to have our own and shared space; the atmosphere is laid back and relaxing; the location is close to restaurants, shopping and the beach; it has wonderful views and refreshing breezes; Neville and the rest of the staff were friendly and welcoming. The resident dogs were a delightful bonus!

Great Location and House!

Our group of 8 recently spent a wonderful week at Villa Steel Magnolias. The property was better than described and Mark and Nevil were great. The house was well equipped, clean and the perfect location. Our party had plenty of room to spread out with the option of both pool side and beach front without having to get in a car. We have rented several homes on the island before, but this was by far the most comfortable for a large party! Thanks!

Fabulous Week!

We travelled to Atlantis for the past two years and decided to try another island. We are 5 adults and 5 children (ages 10-18) and what a fabulous time we had in St. Martin! The house is wonderful, the grounds were beautiful, the staff was great, the beach was relaxing and fun! There was shopping and many good restuarants not far from the house. We did some siteseeing and a lot of relaxing. My daughter said she would rather come back to St. Martin than to Atlantis - That is a huge testimony!! Thank you Mark and family for a great vacation!

Birthday celebration

The Villa was spacious-lots of room/space for 10 people. The king beds & ensuites were great. There were resident iguanas! Neville & his staff responded quickly to our every need. We hired the chef (Jeanette) to prepare a special dinner-it was outstanding. We could see the airport, but not hear it. The beach was wonderful. And David’s hole is around the corner. Great sunrises. You definitely need a rental car. The pool was used by us every day, but the water clarity was poor. The kitchen is tight! There were bugs that we reported. We loved St Martin & the Villa. Super family holiday.

Great location for a group.

We had a group of four couples. Each couple thanked me for picking this property and we all agreed we would come back in a heart beat. This property has plenty of room for 6 couples you won't feel cramped. Well decorated making you feel at home. To keep this review real... The property is not brand new so there are a few minor issues like a couple doors stick, the kitchen is a little dated but everything works well. Having 2 fridges for a larger group was perfect. Location is great, close to Maho and Marigot. We felt like it was home, we'll be back!

Beautiful French lowlands Villa

When we arrived at the Steel Magnolia Villa I was surprised that it was actually nicer than the photos and descriptions online. This property has privacy and a fantastic and secure location right next to one of the best small beaches on the island - Baie Rouge. The beds were very comfortable, each room is named after a character from the Steel Magnolia’s movie. The Villa definitely had Caribbean character which is why I love VRBO! The pool area was thoroughly enjoyed by all and the views of Simpson Bay were awesome. We had no problems bopping around the entire island from the Villa. Neville was very helpful and we enjoyed talking with him! Thank you Mark for sharing your beautiful Villa with our family of 8.
