Family Adventure
Posted Dec. 10, 2024 on HomeAwayPerfect Villa for our family of 6 adults and one 4 year old.
Housekeeper Catherine does a great job maintaining the Villa and is also a wonderful chef. She prepared and served a four course Thanksgiving dinner that we all loved.
A few problems with air conditioning and the hot tub were handled by the property manager Pierre as well as could be expected. Villa needs to upgrade beach chairs but otherwise is very well equipped. We’ll definitely be back!

Amazing
Posted Nov. 25, 2024 on HomeAwayOk, first and foremost, Mr. Pierre is the man. He is the property manager and he did not disappoint. Ms. Daphne is an excellent communicator. Ms. Catherine is sweet and informative.
Location… YOU WILL NEED A CAR AND SOMEONE WHO IS NOT AFRAID TO DRIVE. The roads are steep, curvy and some are not in the best condition. But the house will make it worth the drive.

Family getaway
Posted Aug. 28, 2024 on HomeAwayGreat property, very comfortable and clean. Pool was perfect! Short hike to Dawn beach. Roads are a bit challenging to drive but a car is a must. Host is awesome and very easy to communicate with and is very accommodating.
Pool service every day and housekeeping 2xs a week. Will definitely be back.

Graduation trip for our son
Posted Jul. 15, 2024 on HomeAwayMy husband and I took our son and three friends to celebrate his high school graduation. This house has THE best views! Daphne was easy to communicate with and very quick responding. Pierre lives just up the street and he was so helpful with things to do and where to go. The AC in one bedroom didn’t work the day we got there and by the next day it was replaced. Catherine is the sweetest and we paid Omar (pool and lawn guy) to drive our group downtown one evening. We had a nice steak dinner and hit the casino and Moon Bar. He stayed out late and brought us back safely. You definitely need to rent a car as most reviews say, the hills are no joke! We waited until we got there to unload luggage and then we headed to a grocery store. We never cooked meals, but the kitchen has everything you will need if you choose to. If you’re planning to go to a beach for the day I recommend Orient Beach. Daphne told us about it and she was right. It has all the activities, restaurants, shops, etc and it’s not a far drive. There are outdoor showers there as well. Ladies or men with long hair, I wouldn’t worry about dolling up too much because of the wind and humidity. Bring lightweight clothes! You will not need your fancy outfits except for maybe one evening out on the town. All bedrooms have AC but the main living area does not. We kept the windows/doors open so it’s a constant warm breeze. The pool and hottub are wonderful, especially at night. We will be back!

Pierre and Catherine are gems are make the experience at our villa so wonderful. We would love to welcome you back next year - come a bit earlier in the season and the weather will be a bit better!!

Beautiful home, Stunning View!
Posted Apr. 17, 2024 on HomeAwayWe stayed at Villa Valhalla with our 3 teenage kids and another family of 4. The house was beautiful, clean, well stocked with stunning views! Plenty of room for us all. It’s located in a safe and quiet neighborhood overlooking Dawn Beach. Everything was as stated from the website, except the kitchen has been updated and looks great. We had excellent communication before and during the trip. We were able to walk to the beach, and had dinner at the new JW Marriott. It was nice to have a close option on a night we didn’t want to drive or cook. We have nothing but great things to say about everyone who helps care for the home, all so pleasant to talk to. They were very accommodating to us. We have stayed on the island before and did feel this was a nice location, split between the French and Dutch side so other than the airport, most restaurants and beaches we wanted to visit were no more than 20 minutes from us by car. We personally love renting a car to see the whole island on our vacations. We also love a nice, quiet spot to come back to each evening and thoroughly enjoyed our time at the house, using the pool and hot tub all week. You won’t be disappointed with this house, would definitely recommend!

Dream Family Vacation
Posted Mar. 2, 2024 on HomeAwayThis estate is everything as described and even more than you can imagine. Pulling into Dawn Beach Estates and driving down to view the ocean is breathtaking. The views from every back window of the house are like a dream. We loved the entire house. Every guest was happy with their room and amenities. We used the pool and hot tub every day. The kitchen supplied us with anything we could have needed. Our quick trip over the back road to the bakery was exciting. The house is located central to everything on the island. Dawn Beach is beautiful and quiet and the walk is easy enough for the entire family. My only regret is that we didn’t stay longer. 7 days isn’t enough! Highly recommend this house for anyone looking to relax and explore St Martin!

Fantastic Villa
Posted Jan. 9, 2024 on HomeAwayThe view is amazing, so beautiful, 180 degrees of beauty St Barts and Dawn beach area. Dawn beach is beautiful and easy to get to. Quick walk down and over the stairs. The roads are no joke and very steep and narrow. But you will run into that for any house with a view like this. We would've preferred a rental car with ground clearance. There are restaurants nearby but definitely driving distance except the bar/resaurant at the beach. The owner had blow dryers, books, games, floaties for the pool, great internet, a well stocked kitchen, and beach towels. The housekeeper refreshed the beach towels twice during the stay, such a luxury. All things that make a great beach house. We really appreciated the services of the housekeeper and pool professional, and Pierre the house manager. They check to make sure you know how to work everything and keep it in good order. Daphne the owner stopped by to check in on us too. So nice! The pool is really great we used it to cool off. We were there New Year's and it was 75 degrees. People that enjoy firm beds will be very happy. I would go again tomorrow if I could, it's so great.

The perfect vacation spot
Posted Dec. 30, 2023 on HomeAwayOur family needed a location for rest and relaxation, with the ability to walk to the beach an easy access to the rest of the island for exploration. Villa Valhalla exceeded these expectations is all ways, with the sole exception of there not being a supermarket within walking distance - or a 5 minute drive. But nevertheless, all had a gratifying and relaxing week.
