NEW STUNNING VILLA, VILLA SONRISA, BEACHFRONT_OCEAN VIEW

As the plane lands in St. Martin, your soul lifts. To preserve that feeling, where you stay is important. Look no further because you have found your dream vacation destination. Villa Sonrisa is a 2400 sq. ft. (250 sq. m), two-level villa located in Cupecoy. The main living space is on the first floor, both bedrooms with ensuite baths are on the second. This VERY private villa is perched on a bluff overlooking Cupecoy Beach. Enjoy an unobstructed panorama of the islands of Saba, Statia, and St. Kitts. The music of the ocean is always near and so is Cupecoy Beach which is only a few yards away requiring a less than one minute walk from your front door. The villa and beach are south facing so you are bathed in sunlight all day from sunrise to sunset. Even as your view is panoramic and unobstructed when on the terrace or balcony, you can’t be seen by anyone on the beach nor from other villas. Sonrisa is privately owned but all the amenities of The Sapphire Beach Resort are available to you including but not limited to the restaurant and bar, the Olympic-sized pool, the activities desk, car rental, and the computer room with the printer. It is truly an ideal location, chosen by the Dutch Queen of the Netherlands, Queen Beatrix, to stay in while she vacationed in St Martin and her staff stayed in the adjacent villa.

Your piece/peace of paradise away from home includes the following amenities: fully air-conditioned, and free WiFi throughout. On the main level, interior, you will find a well-appointed kitchen; the open concept living space consists of a dining area, a comfortable sectional sofa, a large flat-screen Smart TV, and a full bathroom with laundry. On the main level, exterior, there is a covered terrace with outdoor dining, a ceiling fan, and two loungers for relaxing. The private pool is perfect for floating and/or enjoying a beverage. Upstairs, interior, there are two nearly identical well decorated, air-conditioned master suites each with king-sized beds, large flat-screen Smart TV’s, and ensuite baths. Each ensuite contains a double sink, bathtub, toilet, and a stand-alone shower... The covered upstairs balcony is accessible from either bedroom, has two ceiling fans, a loveseat, and two comfortable sling back chairs.

There are two designated parking spaces only 15 paces from your front door in a covered, gated, pass-key secured parking garage. To enter the villa, you do not pass through a lobby, take an elevator, stairs or enter any other structure. You go straight from your car to your front door. This allows you to remain safe, healthy, and avoid crowded indoor public spaces. Villa Sonrisa has withstood hurricanes and pandemics.

Finally, the villa comes with two amenities that are unparalleled: a concierge and a housekeeper. The highly-rated concierge was specifically chosen for this villa by the owners who have visited St Martin for over 30 years. The concierge will make every effort to ensure that all your needs are met during your vacation. They will be available upon your arrival to orient you and to help coordinate any activities or navigate any problems that you may encounter during your stay. The villa is also cleaned and disinfected thoroughly twice weekly by a meticulous housekeeper.  

If it’s fit for a Queen, it should suit you well. So, what are you waiting for? Stop dreaming and start packing. We await your arrival. Bon Jour!!!!

Million dollar view
The view is outstanding from both the main balcony and from both master bedrooms. The plunge pool is a nice to have with a view of the ocean. The location is great to shopping and restaurants. The negative is the place is very run down and need of some major updating and repairs. The villa is located at the Sapphire Beach Club which is a 3-start resort. This use to be the property to stay at but no longer is well kept. Here are a few issues we ran into with the villa. We were given one key for the villa. I had to wait 3 days to get a second key which was a major hassle for a group of four. We didn't have hot water when we got there. The property manager did resolve that issue quickly. The ice maker was turned off. We turned it on, and it leaked all over the floor. The property manager was aware of the issue and turned it off and brought us 2 bags of ice. The shower didn't drain so you stood in a few inches of water as you showered. The wood deck as you enter the property is rotting out and a hazard. Overall, both the villa and resort need to be updated. I travel to the Caribbean once or twice a year. I stayed at Fourteen which is a short walk from this place. That place is new and much nicer but doesn't have the outstanding views like this place. I'm not sure if I would stay here again or not. It has potential but needs some care.

Sonrisa 7 is lovely
Our lodging was great. The property was clean and secure and the view of the water was amazing. Our host responded quickly to a problem with our coffee maker. The kitchen is small but functional and the beds were super comfortable. No instructions were left about how to close out at the end of our stay but we left all kitchen items clean. Loved sharing food with the sweet neighborhood cats.

Beautiful property with great view!
We enjoyed staying at this property and are already trying to figure out when we can go back. The property is in an area near Maho/Simpson Bay Beach, restaurants, grocery store, casino, shops, etc. Stacey and John were fabulous in answering our questions and providing any information we needed. Stacey met us when we arrived to walk through the condo with us and even provided us with snacks and drinks the first day. Looking forward to returning to St. Maarten and booking this property again for our next trip!

St Maarten Trip
All in all a very nice place on the island. View from condo was magnificent with nice beach area lots to do in the area including casinos, restaurants and beautiful Mullet Bay Beach. I suggest seeing different beaches. One of our favorites being Fryers Bay Beach just a short distance away. Private pool on the patio was a great added touch for a late night/early morning swim. Would definitely stay at Sonrise 7 again

Another Awesome Trip to St. Maarten!
My wife and I celebrated our 25th Anniversary in St. Maarten April 6-13. This was our second trip to the island and second time staying at a Villa at Sapphire Beach Club. We had another wonderful experience! The Villa was very comfortable, nicely furnished, and the unobstructed view has to be one of the best, if not the best, on the island. The private plunge pool is an awesome amenity and while we did spend a good deal of time exploring the island, we spent a lot of time on the private deck area of the Villa. Previously, we stayed at Villa 10 and this time Villa 7. Both are almost identical, but decorated and furnished slightly differently. To be honest, we love them both and plan to return again next year. Highly recommended location and property!

This place is absolutely stunning. From the start everything was a perfect 10. John, owner, very responsive to emails and very accommodating which Made the booking process so easy. Stacey the concierge was a doll. And was also available any time we needed her. The place is just as pictured. Amazing views of the water. The pool was so nice to have right on the balcony esp for the kids. I loved the location of this villa. Everything was perfect.

Beautiful villa
Villa is exactly as depicted in photos. Pool deck is directly above the crashing surf. It is a lovely vacation villa. If you plan to cook any meals , the kitchen is as pictured. Only one can cook at a time. Pack everything or purchase everything, as the kitchen is what I describe as “completely clean” meaning, only salt and pepper are provided. No remains from prior tenants, no spice rack, etc. pack plastic wrap or foil as well if you tend to have leftovers, as there are no Tupperware type items or wraps/foils either. to our delight, the villa was stocked with portable beach chairs, which we used daily at the various beaches around the island. The beach at the villa was under water the entire week we were there, so while lovely to look at from the pool deck, it was not a swimming beach or even a lounging beach. I thought the check in process to be unnecessarily challenging, for future vacationers, go to the Sapphire beach resort, park in the front, go into the lobby, use WhatsApp to contact the concierge using the SBR free WiFi, and then go get a drink at the bar while waiting for her to arrive. We thought we were to meet her at the villa itself, so we got a parking card from the front desk, found the parking spot and waited on the front stoop, while she was looking for us in the lobby, so it was a comedy of errors, not knowing precisely WHERE we were supposed to meet. Great location as well, walking distance to several restaurants and a couple of markets.

I booked this for my wife’s 60 birthday with friends. So it had to be perfect and this property far exceeded our expectations. The listing was better,if possible, than the pictures. It was fantastic to listen to the waves all night right outside your bedroom and the views were unbelievable and you are a 1 minute walk to the beach! We will be back! Thank you

Enjoyable Condo in Cupecoy
The property was very nice and just as described. The pictures are 100% accurate. We loved the view and the privacy. The private pool on the deck was wonderful and we never used the Sapphire Beach Resort pool above. We felt the location allowed us to stay out of the hustle of more "in town" locations while still having easy access to the island. We would recommend a rental car to enjoy the area and island. The unit itself was very nice. The A/C work very well at keeping the unit cool, the beds were very comfortable, the bathrooms were huge, and you can’t beat the sound of the breaking waves to sleep. We found the condo adequately stocked but not to the level of other units we have recently rented however that might be a cultural / island difference. The only minor concern we had was lack of communication by the property manager and Stacey. We had to follow-up with them on both the check-in & check-out processes and, while we enjoyed the maid service, we would have liked to have been told as to what days they would be cleaning the unit. With our past VRBO rentals, this information was proactively provided.

Just Go!
We loved the Sonrisa unit in Maho/Cupecoy area. It was really spacious and we loved the parking area to be right outside your front door. No elevators to wait on, and no chance of them going out of service. We have rented 3 years in a row through Smaart Vacation in Sint Maarten. Each place had its strong points, but we enjoyed the privacy of this one as a couple staying here without kids or friends along. It was quiet and we enjoyed the pool on the balcony overlooking the ocean. We also loved the shower outside of the front door to get the sand off your feet after a day at the beach. The ocean here is accessible if you wander around back there, but it's pretty rough most days. We opted to drive to area beaches—Mullet Bay is just up the road, a short drive away. We felt a little less sure about where we were going this trip when we arrived as we didn't know where to find this unit initially. For reference, it's a parking garage immediately after Sapphire Beach Resort, which is right after you pass The Cliffs. It's a little tricky to find the turn in but if you know it's right past the Sapphire Beach Resort, you'll find it. Getting in touch with property manager can be iffy depending on your phone plan, but we eventually did connect with Stacy. The A/C in this unit is wonderful—nice and cool. The beds are very, very firm. A topper would help with pressure points;) Stacy allowed a late checkout since we had late flight:) It was a wonderful place & we would return!

Fabulous Oceanside Villa in Cupecoy!
Our family absolutely LOVED our 4-night stay at Villa Sonrisa! It was our first time visiting St Maarten, and the accommodations couldn’t have been more perfect. Clean, spacious and comfortable, with a private pool and breathtaking views off both balconies, it was everything advertised in the listing and so much more. And the location is ideal — there are a number of terrific restaurants and markets with walking distance, and Mullet Bay Beach is less than 5 mins by car (or a 12-min walk). Your private parking spot is literally STEPS away from the front door, and our concierge, Stacey, was extremely helpful and responsive whenever we had a question. We loved every minute of our stay at Villa Sonrisa and can’t wait to come back next year!

Just Fabulous
Read the description of the property… John has hit it spot on! Yes the views are as pictured and described. Constantly moving with arriving aircraft and boats of all sizes. Yes the beach is just below your pool and lanai’ but it is not very usable… which keeps your condo very private. Just a short walk or ride are beaches … Mullett Bay was our favorite. Be there early for a front row seat… see FREDDY! Meet him in the parking lot…. He will fix you up. 2 chairs and umbrella for $20. Loads of fun people watching. Just up the road … towards French Side at the round a bout is the marina area several nice restaurants and grocery… casino too. Mama for great pasta and pizza. Chicken Parm is awesome! Cambuci just opposite Mama has a very small sign… cash only … but WOW. Ask about specials … Beef Tenderloin and Snapper were featured our day. And Molten Chocolate Carmal Cake for dessert. Then down the stairs to CC. All good! We didn’t really take advantage of the Sapphire Beach Club …. But the pool and bar looked nice. Yes. Stacy did meet us and was a great resource for entertainment and restaurants. Toppers Rhum your is fun. Lots of tasting and well worth the small fee. We also sailed with The Spirit Of St Maarten. Fabulous day trip. YES rent a small car. I say small because the roads are small! IMO stick to the Dutch side. Simpson Bay is full of places for est and drink. Dinghy Dock is a must see for their Nachos. Trust me! Parking is indeed 15 steps to your front door. The drive down into the gated parking garage will take you a couple times to get used to😂 And…. Buy some cat food for the shy kittens … They may greet you during your stay. I hope you enjoy this villa as much as we did! We will return!!!
