Villa was amazing, clean, and perfect for my family, which included my 72 year-old mother and my two children ages five and seven. While we couldn’t go on the beach because of the sargassum, the villa was in a great location to get to other beaches since we run in a car. We really enjoyed staying there and enjoyed talking to Presley who took care of our pool each morning.

Beautiful house in nice location, but a few bumps in our vacation
We were very excited about this beachfront property on one of the nicest beaches on the island. Unfortunately, nature had other plans and decided to provide us with a plague of unending and fetid sea algae called sargassum. As a result, Dawn beach was completely non-usable and the pool and patio area were difficult to enjoy due to the hydrogen sulfide gas emitted by the metrics tons of algae stacked up on beach. We rented the property for two weeks and had initially hoped it would clear out during that time, but it will likely make this beach challenging for many months. The owner forgot to pass our two week reservation along to the concierge or property management. This resulted in them being completely unaware of our arrival and the property not being ready at check in. I tried repeatedly contacting the owner prior to arrival but never got a response. I tried contacting the property team prior to arrival, but they were confused because they didn’t see my booking. Despite this, the management team had everything spiffed up after a couple hours, and held our luggage while we went to buy groceries. Overall, the house, amenities, property management, and house keeping staff were EXCELLENT. This place would have been perfect without the sargassum and with better communication from the owner to the property management team and me. We drove to a dozen other beaches that were not impacted by the deluge of algae. My family and I had a great time and got to enjoy the island.

Villa Alabaster is a Pearl in Oyster Pond
We had a fantastic time and loved the accommodations. The Villa is much bigger than the pictures allow and it was perfect. From end to end, the experience was seamless. From the front office staff to the daily pool and home cleaning experts to the beach crew.....everything was seamless and well maintained. I highly recommend Villa Alabaster and will stay there again!!

7k But No Communication
Arrived at villa and was shown around by a nice young lady from the resort. Changed into our bathing suits to enjoy the pool and beach to find the sargassum that was plaguing the Caribbean, very unfortunate. After a couple of days with no respite in the foul smelling grass in the beach, I sent a message to the owner for alternative beach suggestions so we could avoid the seagrass. After no respose for a couple of days, we spoke to some locals and they gave us some good ideas on the French side of the island. On day 8 of our trip, the AC stopped working in the main living area. I again messaged the owner after contacting the resort front desk with the issue. No response again. They came and reset the system and that worked for a couple of hours and stopped again. When we went to bed last night, it was 28C/83F in the main area. Finally, we decided to grill out our last night and found the grill didn't even work. Luckily, I was able to borrow the igniter from the neighbor to cook dinner. I messaged the owner again this morning on our checkout day urging her to have the AC permanently repaired before the spare next tennant staying here, surprise, surprise, no response. Disappointing.

Perfect for guest with young children
There was 7 of us. Grandparents in their 60s, two adult children with their wives and one granddaughter 7 months old. The unit was extremely clean, and spacious. Each couple had their own bathroom. All three bedrooms and bathrooms were good size especially the master which had a wall of sliding glass looking out over the pool and beach. Spectacular!! Being in the villa was perfect especially when the baby took her naps. We brought the baby monitor outside by the pool to listen and watch her while she napped. (can't do that in a hotel) The backyard was the pool and just about 75 feet from the pool was the ocean. The restaurants were literally only about a 100 yard walk on the sandy beach. The two restaurants were perfect for us. One being casual with huge selection. The other being business casual dress. I highly recommend this property. FYI. We are clean freaks and always skeptical about renting a property thinking it may not be clean. Nothing to worry about here.
This is an amazing villa ! Very clean and very lovely ! The pictures of the add does not do justice ! Much much nicer in person. The view is breathtaking and the staff is wonderful ! I highly recommend anyone to book this villa !

More beautiful than the pictures
The home is beautifully equipped, very comfortable, clean and a great layout. Our only issue was the seaweed, it seemed to be only on this beach. The beach was cleaned every morning and I know they did all they could, so not the fault of anyone, just that we couldn't really go in the water here. Having access to Oyster Pond was a huge bonus with a store, restaurant and bar was fabulous. We did it all though, perfume, zipline, golf on Anguilla (beautiful beaches there), private yacht charter and more. Overall, a fabulous vacation. Rain showers every day, but not for long, it was actually a nice break from the sun for a while each day. Thank you to our hosts, who communicate fabulously. No luxury at the house is overlooked.

From the moment we walked out of the airport everything was amazing. The resort had transportation waiting for us. There was no real check-in like most resorts, the taxi driver walked us right to our villa and vacation began. On this trip we chose not to rent a car so we hired Claudette Fritz to take us everywhere we wanted to go which was much cheaper than car rental. The house was amazing to say the least. The pool was very well kept and only a couple steps from the beautiful white sand. We will be staying here again.

The view from this property strikes you the minute you walk in the front door. All you can see is your pool, the beach and then St. Barth off in the distance. The property is very well maintained and easy to find. It is well located between the French and Dutch sides of the island. The restaurant Big Fish is a 30 second walk from the front door and was delicious. Overall a great place to stay in St. Maarten.
