Great spot on the water!

Very good location, as there are hiking trails nearby, and close proximity to Anse Marcel, Orient and Grand Case, to enjoy the beaches and the food. The scenery from the back patio/pool, overlooking the water, was exceptional. With Pinel island, just right there you can take a short kayak ride (provided). Latetia, was very responsive and helpful. We would definitely come back!

Very nice location for quiet stay in St.Martin. Rental Car is a must. Drive from the airport at rush hour (4 to 6 PM) will exceed a hour for just under 9 miles. Hostess Sabrina met us at the villa and provided an excellent tour of the property and advice on locations to visit. Check out was easy as well. AC is only in the bedrooms, Ceiling fans in all rooms though. Pool is very relaxing and a great place to soak up the sun! Kayak or use the water taxi to Pinel Island. Grad Case is about a 10 min drive with lots of waterfront restaurants and shopping. Orient Bay is also about 10 minute drive. Overall Great Relaxing stay and would recommend it for those not wanting the "resort hassle"

Fantastic home exactly as advertised

Stay here if you want a location away from the crowds a bit and right on the ocean. Pinel Beach is a short kayak ride away, and to the north is Anse Marcel beach which is fantastic and has a great hiking trail nearby. A car rental makes this location great with easy car access, and nothing on the island is far away. Good access to Grand Case and Orient - two fabulous areas. Can't say enough good about this one and hope to go back soon! Thank you to Laetita, our hostess' sister for looking after us!

Open-Air Natural Home

We stayed in Cul-de-sac in July of this year and had a great time exploring the hidden beaches all around the island. We were given directions to find the house- thank goodness because google maps did not load the whole week- that was tucked away and a grocery store was a few minutes drive (be prepared to use Google translate as most labels are in French). The bedrooms were very clean, had working A/C, and were comfortable to sleep in at night. The master bathroom is also a cool touch to the home- very natural and detailed. The living space, kitchen, and hall bath were open air only, so it got warm in those spaces but we weren’t at the house much during the day and it felt much better at night. The pool was apparently treated a few days before our arrival, but we did not use that space. The host has her sister that lives close by to help if you need any assistance during your stay. I will note that we had issues with power outages that were impacting the whole island that were not expected before we booked (this was obviously of control of the host and she was willing to cater to our needs and understanding of the problem - but be aware and do your research about the island). The home gave very open and welcoming vibes- Thank you.

Beautiful place

We loved the views and proximity to Pinel island. Host was very friendly and responsive. There were no bugs (altho a few tiny ants will find their way into the kitchen if food is left out) as one reviewer claimed. The pool was very clean and is maintained weekly. Beds were comfortable. I wish there was air conditioning in the living room (all bedrooms had air). Also would prefer some windows in the garage-like doors in the living room, but we tend to go to bed early. Opening up these large doors to view the water in the mornings was wonderful.

A Magical Week in Paradise!!

We all enjoyed our first week of December 2023 at this wonderful Villa. The view is spectacular (even better than the pictures) and we truly loved relaxing on the comfy lounge chairs overlooking the Caribbean Sea and taking dips in the lovely pool! The furnishings were so unique and rustic and all 3 beds were very comfortable! Air conditioning in the bedrooms worked great and we all slept very well! We rented a car and was able to enjoy the nearby beaches, restaurants and grocery shopping. The owner’s sister Laetitia greeted us when we arrived and was very helpful and kind. Overall, I would highly recommend this little piece of paradise and hope to return someday.

You will need a car though and we found many places to eat le garden is great and oriant beach has 12 restaurants in a square.

Beach Vibes

As soon as you arrive at this villa you are instantly put into vacation mood. The open kitchen, beautifully crafted wood details throughout. You can spend hours on the decks and in the pool enjoying the view and the activity in the bay. Kayak around and meet some turtles. Make sure to spend a day at Pinel. A few minutes away to great restaurants, shops and activities in Orient Bay, Anse Marcel and Grand Case. Thanks to Sabrina and Laetitia who made sure everything was great. It was hard to leave!

A little slice of paradise

We have just returned from a magical week at La Cabane. The villa is beautifully presented and stylishly finished. It is clearly a much loved second home, the kitchen is super well equipped and there are personal touches everywhere. The location is awesome, it is literally nigh on impossible to tear yourself away from the view; however the draw of the fabulous beach and restaurant at Pinel Island (just a short kayak away) will just about do it. We had turtles swim around us when we were kayaking over to the island and enjoyed probably the best lobster I have ever eaten at Karibuni (on the island), washed down with some delicious rose and all served with a genuine smile. Heaven!!

Relaxing Getaway

My family of 5 adults had a lovely week celebrating New Years at Ma Cabane! The location was peaceful in a quiet neighborhood with beautiful homes all around. We loved spending the day lounging by the pool and taking the kayaks out around the bay(lots of turtles to see!). Our favorite thing was kayaking to pinel island and renting beach chairs at Karibuni for the day, and having lunch at the great restaurant, based on all the other reviews- we went multiple times! We also loved checking out the beaches at anse marcel and orient bay which are only 5 minute drives away. You definitely need a rental car but it was so easy to drive around the island, with most places under 20 minutes away. We ate at the local restaurant down the street, Hercule, and had a delicious creole meal and loved getting pastries or sandwiches at French Bakery. Also nextdoor was, Governuer the local rum distillery where you can do tastings. Our favorite meal was at Le Pressoir, a 10 minute drive away in Grand Case with a nice town to walk around! We would definitely recommend staying at this lovely home, it had all the amenities we needed for a relaxing vacation!

Even Better Than the Pictures!!!

This might have been one of our favorite vacations ever and we travel a lot! ❤️. The house was clean, the view was more than spectacular and the host was fantastic and responsive.... Plus it feels so private! Being able to watch the sunrise over Pinel was the perfect way to start the morning. The location is excellent and just a short drive to Orient and Grand Case where your options for amazing food/drinks are endless it seems. There is also a grocery store, bakery, pharmacy, shopping etc within a short driving distance as well. It's also very close to the Petite Caye hike and just a short kayak to Pinel Island. The private pool was nice in the afternoons. The breeze with the doors open was incredible. We loved all of the outside seating and the hammocks, the beautiful flowers on the walkway in etc.. I could go on and on about all the nice things about this place. You guys- I have been back a week and I miss this vacation house so much already. This is a wonderful place to stay and we can't wait to go back. ❤️ Just book it already - you won't regret it!

A piece of paradise that l hope to return to!

The Villa was exactly as portrayed in reviews. We could hardly drag ourselves away. The directions from the airport were exact. The hostess was gracious, met us at apartment with lovely cold beverages and explained all we needed to know. We enjoyed kayaking off the property, visited beaches, shopped etc. There is adequate snorkeling eqt in a closet. We were able to see beautiful fish and turtles! The pool was so refreshing. Bedrooms were so cool with air conditioning. The kitchen was fully equipted. Absolutely a wonderful week in a time warp. Pinel is close enough to kayak to for reasonably fit peeps. We frequented the French Bakery daily and bought rum from the local rum tasting business. Local grocery store has anything and everything that you can desire. Orient BEACH was so close and we had an incredible day at Aloha. Ask to have your umbrella and beach chairs included in your lunch. Enjoy the iguanas, local goats and donkeys, gorgeous birds and nature. Once you arrive you will be hesitant to leave. Our family enjoyed this beautiful open air villa and look fittest to returning. Thank you!

Great Family Vacation!

We stayed at Ma Cabane in June 2022 for my daughter’s graduation trip. The house is very clean and comfortable, the location is perfect. There is not much within walking distance, so a car is needed, but I liked being a little bit off the beaten path in a residential area. The kayaks were awesome to have, but a few have holes, so be sure to test them out before paddling away. Some of the outdoor swings and seats in the listing photos are not there. Pinel Island is beautiful and the restaurant there is fantastic! We also enjoyed paddling out to the other island that’s directly in front of the property, and had a great time exploring the sandbar and snorkeling around the rocks. For local restaurants, I recommend Hercule in Cul de Sac and Orange Fever at Orient Beach. Both had delicious food, friendly service, and reasonable prices. The house is super well equipped. They even snorkeling gear available! The only things I would have like to have had is more soft-seating inside and out - there is a small couch inside and outside there are sun lounge chairs - a nice outdoor couch would be perfect, extra blankets for the beds, and a gas or charcoal grill. The grill that’s available is a little homemade charcoal setup on the lower tier of the patio, and a electric griddle type thing that blew the circuit when we tried to use it. Overall the house was wonderful, the location was peaceful and perfect, and I would definitely stay there again.

Romantic Bungalow with Beautiful Views

Overall very enjoyable 2 weeks at Ma Cabane and fantastic communication and assistance with the owner and her sister, who was our local contact on the island. The Positives: The location is convenient to Orient Beach, Anse Marcel and Grand Case, but you are able to feel a bit removed from the traffic and noise. We felt very safe in the area and in the home. The pool is perfect, the kayaks were a nice touch to be able to go to Pinel and stay after all the tourists were gone. Outdoor shower is always a plus. Decoration was fun and tropical. The kitchen is well appointed if you like to cook. What we wish was different/better: As we were there in August, the main part of the house was very hot. There are no glass doors, so you either have the house open, or you have to close the storm shutters, which makes the house very dark. It would be nice if they had some glass doors inside the storm shutters and added an air conditioner for the main area of the house, so you could keep it comfortable while enjoying the beautiful view, especially as the general breeze is coming from the side more than the front of the house, so not much air is moving through the house as with homes we have rented in the past on Orient Bay where they mainly face into the wind. Also, the 2nd bathroom is in the part of the house with no A/C and has an opening above the shower into the main room. It means less privacy and that bathroom remains hot when the main house is hot.

Fabulous coastal house on picturesque bay

This house is just like the pictures show you! Every morning we (my husband and I, plus another couple) opened 2 electronic garage size shutters to a fabulous view of a bay. The kitchen/living area opened to a covered patio. This gave us shade when we wanted - otherwise we were on the wooden deck, in a very well kept pool, lounging in the sun! The decor was fantastic with drift wood and coastal colors. The kitchen had all types of utensils, small appliances, dishes you need plus a washing machine. Very clean modern comfortable furniture, great stereo system, 3 airconditioned bedrooms and 2 unique bathrooms with walk-in showers. The location was great - less than10 min drive to very large grocery store, pharmacy, car rental (GreenMotion) and phone store (Digicil) where you could buy a SIM card. Four kayaks were available to navigate the shallow waters to Pinel Island or a nice sand bar in middle of the bay. Driving to Orient Bay or Grand Case for restaurants (food everywhere was excellent) is about 10-15 minutes depending on traffic which was the only drawback of the island. Recommend a car - not a very good "walking" island. The local manager was readily available by phone and text. Only suggestion is larger/thicker cushions for dining chairs and benches plus extra bath towels available in closets. Really, that's it! My husband & I rented our beach house in the Bahamas so we know what it takes to make a house functional for guests as well as stylish! Thank YOU! A+++

Piece of Paradis

Awesome stay at this little piece of paradise. We just got back from 2 weeks at this charming seaside villa. First of all, Sabrina and Lionel were great to deal with from the very beginning and very helpful. They were also very quick to respond when we had some minor technical issues which were quickly resolved. We were two adult couples sharing the house which was a good size for this number. The house was as we expected with some great amenities and an awesome view. First of all this is one of the best equipped kitchens we have ever had with quality pots, pans and utensils. We had a use of 3 kayaks which were used often to explore the bay and visit Pinel Island which is a must while in Saint Martin. They also had snorkelling equipment available. The villa is also well located with quality restaurants within walking distance and only minutes away from numerous beaches and shopping opportunities. This was our first time in Saint Martin and won't be our last. In our opinion, the French side was much more beautiful and laid back than the Dutch Side although I should warn that it is indeed very French with some people having difficulty communicating in English. A bonus of the island is the great selection of French and Dutch food products and goodies. There were also many very good grocery shopping options with every location selling beer, wine and liquor at incredible prices. FYI don't bother bringing any duty free as the prices on the Island are far superior. Finally a very special thank you to Sabrina and Lionel for allowing us to spend some time in their great villa, merci!
