About this property

Luxury Villa, Walk to beach, BRAND NEW 55KW BACKUP GENERATOR

We invite you to escape to a beautiful, tropical Caribbean paradise where you can rest, relax, and unwind in the privacy of your own secluded retreat. Villa Fantome is the perfect location to enjoy time with family and friends. Come experience sun-filled days by the pool, explore over 35 beaches, and enjoy a variety of activities such as snorkeling, swimming, hiking, sailing, and ziplining.

A luxurious 6 bedroom oceanview villa, Villa Fantome is located on the Dutch side of St. Maarten in the gated community of Dawn Beach Estates. The views of Oyster Pond, Tintamare, Anguilla, St. Barths, St. Kitts, and Nevis are ENDLESS. The unique multi-level design of the villa takes advantage of these spectacular ocean views from EVERY single room!  Each of the 6 bedroom suites boasts breathtaking ocean views. The moment you pull into the driveway and enter the oversized custom wood front doors, you will be captivated! The property is perfect for large groups, families, weddings, photoshoots, and corporate retreats, as there is plenty of space for everyone.

On the main floor, Villa Fantome is equipped with a beautiful gourmet kitchen featuring a spectacular quartzite island that can seat up to 12 guests. The kitchen is bright, modern, and well appointed with everything you could need during your stay. You will enjoy looking out at St. Barths while you are preparing your meals and simultaneously enjoy the breathtaking views of Oyster Pond and Dawn Beach. Relaxing in the hanging rattan chair in the corner of the room while the chef prepares your meal makes this kitchen a unique experience to remember. The chef in your group will love cooking in this large space. If you don't want to cook, you can also hire professional chef services to enjoy during your stay. We also provide a stainless steel grill for cooking outside. There is a 6 person teak breakfast table on the veranda adjacent to the kitchen in addition to the large, main outdoor dining area.

A half level down from the main floor, the living room boasts soaring 20 foot ceilings. There is a seating area to enjoy the beautiful views, as well as bar height table and chairs for a small group to gather for food or drinks. Dining al fresco will be an experience to remember at Villa Fantome, as the outdoor seating area is large enough to comfortably host up to 14 guests.

A half level below the living room, you will find the media room. The media room has a large flat screen TV and a comfortable sectional to enjoy movie night after a long day in the sun. The sectional can also easily accommodate additional younger guests as an alternative sleeping option. On this level, you will also find 3 ocean view bedrooms, each with en-suite bathrooms. Each room is equipped with a king size bed, luxury linens, custom toiletries, and walk-in showers. Located on the pool level, guests staying in one of these 3 bedroom suites will enjoy the convenience of walking out of their sliding glass doors directly onto the pool deck.

This may end up being your favorite spot in the whole house! The pool deck features multiple lounge chairs for sunbathing. There is also a small seating conversation area to enjoy cocktails.

The upper floor also features a walk out balcony and sun deck. There are 4 lounge chairs on the deck for your enjoyment. It is a perfect place to relax and take in the incredible views of St. Barths. The Presidential Suite features a king size bed, en-suite bathroom with walk-in shower, and walk-in closet. The suite also features a seating area with a convertible sofa that could serve as an additional sleeping space for a younger guest if needed.

A second master suite is located on the main floor, just beyond the kitchen. This master suite also features an en-suite bathroom, walk-in shower, king size bed, and small futon that could serve as an additional sleeping space for a younger guest.

February stay at Villa Fantome
We spent a week with 8 friends in Sint Maarten and stayed at Villa Fantome. The property was better than advertised. It really was a beautiful villa and the views were spectacular. The property manager, Daryl, was a pleasure to work with and the owner even connected us with a private chef to come in and cook for us one evening. It was an experience we won’t forget and I would definitely rent this property again in the future.

Paradise found
Villa is everything it claims to be. Beautiful property, views, and great "jumping off" location to orient beach and other areas of interest. Only drawbacks were (1)the non-heated pool but that wasn't promised. It was very windy the weeks we were there (end of january) And (2) it wasn't an easy walk to beach. That said, it is an amazing property and the owners and villa manager are very easy to access.

About the host

Hosted by Gabi Amato-Heape

Host profile image
Our family has been coming to the island of St. Maarten for over 15 years. We enjoy spending time together both at home in Florida and also while travelling. We love the water, sun, sand, and surf and have always enjoyed the low key lifestyle of island living. We welcome you to the beautiful island of St. Maarten and hope you enjoy Villa Fantome as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

Villa Fantome is a story about Strength.  Resilience.  Hope. Transformation.

On September 6, 2017, the island of St. Maarten was struck by one of the most powerful hurricanes recorded in modern history. Hurricane Irma, a category 5 storm, tore through this small Caribbean island leaving behind destruction that was unimaginable. With sustained winds nearing 200 miles per hour and a coastal surge over 30 feet, this "super" hurricane submerged entire neighborhoods and covered an area the size of mainland France. It left the island completely devastated. Homes were destroyed, businesses were gone, and lives were lost. Several days later, the island felt the effects of yet another storm, Hurricane Maria. While this storm did not impact St. Maarten directly,  it was still a double blow to an island that was already suffering.  

Villa Fantome, like many other homes, survived the storm. But what sadly remained were only floors and walls. There was no roof, no windows, no doors. The interior of the home had been completely destroyed.  After the storm, the home had been abandoned and left to the elements. The previous owners evacuated the island at their first opportunity and never looked back.  Almost one year after Hurricane Irma, the property was purchased by new owners who had the vision, determination, and fortitude to look beyond its current state. They saw the potential of this incredible property and were willing to take the risk of rebuilding.  

After 12 months of extensive renovations, the property has been completely transformed to the beautiful, luxury vacation home that it is today. We invite you to come visit the island of St. Maarten, experience the strength and determination of its people to rebuild, and enjoy the unique property that is now known as Villa Fantome.

What makes this property unique

This property has absolutely STUNNING views. Because of the multi-level design of the home as well as the way the property is situated on the lot, EVERY single room has a view of the ocean. You will be mesmerized the moment you walk in the door.

The home is perfect for large groups, with plenty of space for everyone.

There is beach access to the beautiful Dawn Beach locates below the villa. It is approximately a 5-7 minute walk from the property.
