Real gem!

We loved everything about our stay at Vista Royale! Favorite thing to do was open up the glass doors and take it all in. We could never get tired of that view! The outdoor space is just perfect. So fun to watch the cruise ships arrive in the morning and set sail in the evening. The kids loved the infinity pool and its lighting at night. Chris, the property manager, could not be more accommodating. Comfy beds, fast Wi-Fi, and nice updates. We had everything we needed for an amazing Christmas vacation. Can’t wait to come back!

Beautiful views! Great place. It has all you need to stay comfortably. The cruise ships are fun to watch come in and out. If you are a light sleeper, the port can be loud. Pool was refreshing. We would stay there again!

Beautiful Home With Panoramic View

Hello - just want to thank Deb for allowing us to stay at her beautiful home for 11 days during the 2023/2024 holidays. The home was beautifully decorated and we felt at home. We wanted for nothing. Loved the panoramic view of the marina - yachts/ships/tourists - which kept us busy. Fireworks display was something to see and enjoy from the balcony. This place was superb! Relaxing, invigorating and peaceful. Thank you again!

Spectacular

We have stayed here before. While the Villa was perfect before, it is more stunning now with the owner’s recent renovations. The property manager was courteous and responsive to a couple of minor issues. View is extraordinary over the port of Phillipsburg. We hope to return.

All the comforts of home

This rental is a hidden gem! The house is well cared for with all of the amenities you need. We could live here, no problem! The pool and the view are spectacular! Beautiful sunsets! The port below is active with cruise ships during the day and cargo ships some nights but not an issue for us. This was our first time in St Martin and if we return we would love to rent this home again.

Excellent view, great outdoor space, good location

Enjoyed the experience and would recommend to family. The views are fantastic. There's continuous port activity immediately below which we found interesting, but may or may not be desirable to others. Recently updated. Very safe area and an easy ride down the hill to Phillipsburg. Had 2 issues and one was resolved quickly. The other was the wifi which the property manager attempted to fix, but no luck. He thought it might be a service provider issue, but no ultimate resolution. Other than not being able to complete work that I needed to get done, the place was a great pick for us.

Beautiful property and views

Amazing experience at Deb's property, the condo has been recently remodeled and looks fantastic. The kitchen is well-equipped with everything to prepare meals. The outdoor space is even better than it looks in the photos, so nice to have a private pool and be able to watch the cruise ships sail in and out every day. Definitely would stay here again without hesitation!

Beautiful view….

Amazing view that literally pulls you outside! We did have a rough night with the banging of containers and beeping from the craziness of the container ship. But we knew that going in. We messaged the owner day two, the guest bath toilet leaked so bad we went thru two towels a day. (Clean water from tank) . A light filter in the ceiling was hanging there by the wires, an outlet in the master had no outlet plate. Ceiling paint spatter on kitchen counter. Nothing crazy, but as the property owner I thought they would want to know. We never got a reply, until after we were home and told them we were going to message Vrbo the pictures we took. We were asked to send them privately. We did so. Would we stay here again? Yes, it’s not terrible and I know they just finished a renovation. As a contractor I understand small things get forgotten. The lack of reply was shocking.

31st Wedding Anniversary Trip

This was our 3rd trip to Saint Martin and this was the BEST VRBO experience. The home is spectacular in every way - your renovations were so wonderful! You've thought of everything when planning for your visitors! Thank you for having the wonderful AC unit too! :) The views at Point Blanche are truly magical. We enjoyed the island daily, but raced home each day to enjoy Sunset Happy Hour from our own private porch and pool. Watching the cruise ships and barges along the port was truly a treat! Thank you again!!!

This property was not clean and many damaged non functional furnishings

This experience with this property was unacceptable. It was not cleaned from the last guests 3 weeks prior w used face cloths in bathroom and dead bugs and dirty floors. The patio chairs, loungers, and umbrella were all broken and not usable. The hot tub was not operable and not disclosed in listing. The WIFi was out for 1st 2 days and I had to pay $140 for the week for internet from my Verizon plan. Ceiling fan broken on patio. The chairs to sit in on the patio were Drs office lobby chairs. The bed was missing sheets. The mold around the pools tiles, broken tiles inside the condo. Condo full of Ants. We spoke to property manager the 1st day about the condition; he brought the cleaners by 2nd day and told them what to clean and scheduled them for the 3rd day. They never came back to clean. There was broken beach chairs and table chairs piled up on back patio. The build in grill was dilapidated and falling apart. The outdoor shower was broken; the broken shower head and the sheets were the only thing the property manager took care of. I sent an email to the owner requesting a response on day 2 and has yet to respond over a week later. The views and location were amazing. This property was not up to par for VBRO standards. Very frustrating and not acceptable. I would like to be contacted by VBRO. I have photos of everything I shared. The property managers response after showing him everything was; the owner knows and has plans to fix everything and renovate after our stay. Unacceptable. They had no problem listing old photos and taking our money!!!

Terrific

My wife and I have stayed at this property at least five times and each time it is as thrilling and beautiful as the first. The property manager was prompt with a couple small things we needed. The view over the port and city of Phillipsbirg is spectacular. We did not want to leave but leave we did. We highly recommend this venue for a relaxing time away.

Pointe Blanche is beautiful

We had a great time at Pointe Blanche, the condo is just as pictured and the view is incredible and entertaining as we watched the ships come and go. The neighbors were friendly and we felt very safe…I would walk each morning to the bottom of the mountain and back for exercise and to enjoy the view. The last few days the neighbors dogs even accompanied me. The owners were always accessible via email if there were any problems or questions. The only complaint I had was the noise of the shipyard below, as cargo holds were loaded and unloaded all night long every night, the banging of the crane and the “beep beep” of the reverse forklift went on all night, every night. Even above the sleep sound machine I always take when traveling. All in all we enjoyed our stay, and loved St Martin.

Sunsets at Vista Royale

We have stayed at this property many times since 2002. It never disappoints. Wonderful private pool and excellent location for sunsets and access to the boardwalk in Phillipsburg. We usually Rent-A-Car and drive all over the island as we did this time. We will definitely come back!

Million dollar view!

We selected this property primarily because of the view and private pool and we were not disappointed! The view at sunset in indescribable. We were disappointed the patio umbrella was not functional but within 3 days of notification, it was repaired. Also, the phones do not work as described in the listing but the host was able to recommend an on-island alternative. The internet worked exceptionally well and provided ample opportunity for other forms of communication. Also, in spite of the description in the listing, there is no security guard at the gate or anywhere else but it really was not necessary anyway. We felt very safe the entire time we were at the house. All in all, this is a spectacular home with amazing views. We highly recommend this rental and hope to return again in the future!

Birthdays in Point Blanche!

My partners and I were celebrating a birthday and this was the perfect location. The view is unreal and the home was a great place to feel like I was away from it all. Our hosts were amazing, responsive and really thought of every detail when it came to the home! Including beach chairs, beach towels and all of the things for a perfect beach day! So glad we chose this home and hope to return soon!

About the host

Hosted by Debra Smith

Host profile image
We have been coming to St Maarten for the last 21 years. Since the first time we came to the island we always knew we wanted a second home here. It wasn't until we saw Vista Royale did we immediately decide that this was going to be our paradise. While we work to make this our home we wish to share it with others so you to can find paradise.

Why they chose this property

This property is unique in that you can enjoy all that the island has to offer yet still have a serene place to come and relax. It is away from the hustle and bustle yet close enough to be within minutes of the action. At the end of a day at the beach to sit and enjoy a cocktail and the spectacular views makes this a real gem.

What makes this property unique

Privacy, serenity and secure we have a generator!
