Wonderful stay. Highly recommended
First time at this property - it did not disappoint. This was our first time back in St Martin since the 2017 hurricane. We loved every minute of our 10 day stay. The villa was clean, well appointed (everything you need if you’re cooking). The property manager (Maryse) met us on arrival to provide keys, briefing etc. she was always available to answer any questions :) I would recommend this villa

Luxurious perch atop Oyster Bay
Patrick and Mélanie are truly wonderful hosts and people. They made us feel welcome and spent just the right amount of time showing us all of the features of the house. They really are dear people. The house is spectacular. From its private perch atop the hillside overlooking Oyster Bay, its spacious and luxurious layout to its proximity to fine stores and restaurants. From this location you are able to take a short walk to a fine French pastry shop, which also doubles as a wonderful grocery store and a morning coffee shop. In addition, you can walk to three different top notch restaurants, two French and one Italian. Dawn Beach is also close by with its crystal clear turquoise water and warm welcoming sand. You really don’t need to go far to have a wonderful time, or just stay at home and lounge on the big and wide patio deck, facing the ocean and cool off in the beautiful pool. On those days when you don’t go out to eat, the kitchen in the house is fully equipped and modern. Everything you need to cook and prepare wonderful gourmet meals is available. You are a short drive away from great French supermarkets like Leader Price or Carrefour. Everything about this rental was a 10! We hope to come back to stay at Mélanie and Patrick’s property again.

Magnificent Oyster Pond Marina Views
We were exceptionally pleased with the property. The views of the Oyster Pond Marina are stunning. Sunrises from the patio area were gorgeous! The entire check in and check out process was very easy. The property manager met us at the house and walked us through everything. The owners stopped by to meet us halfway through our stay to verify that everything was going well. We found that to be a very nice touch. They even offered some suggestions for dinners in the local area. The house is very spacious with a fully equipped kitchen, dining area, living room, three bedrooms, 3 1/2 baths, and laundry area. The outside patio has both covered and open areas. There was ample seating outside for eating, social gathering, and pool lounging. We're very much looking forward to staying there again!

Amazing
This is the second time we have stayed at this villa. The owners and host Maryse are very accommodating and answer any questions quickly. It is decorated beautifully and the pool and view are amazing! We were here 2 weeks with our kids and parents and had plenty of room. We didn’t even leave the house a few days. It’s in oyster pond which is our favorite part of the island to stay on. Not sure we will ever stay anywhere else but this villa!

Seize the day!
Beautiful experience overall from booking to our correspondence to our stay. Very accurate description. Wonderful location. Booking a car when you get here is a must due to the location of the property in the hills. Maryse the property manager is very helpful with that. Fabulous pool overlooking Oyster Pond. Fully equipped with everything we needed for our stay. Patrick and Mélanie (property owners) were always available and responded quickly with any questions we had. We would highly recommend this property

Wonderful home with wonderful views!
Carpe Diem was perfectly suited for our family of four. The upper level gave our 2 young adult kids their own rooms along with bathrooms while we thoroughly enjoyed having the master suite on the main level with walk out to the pool deck. The views from the deck were lovely and watching the sun come up was a treat. Although there are some dining establishments in the near vicinity...our favourite was Big Fish (highly recommend) at the Oyster Pond resort which was a 10 min walk, having a car is essential to visit any of the nice beaches as the ones near Oyster Pond are less than desirable. During our stay there was daytime construction going on next door, with a new build going up, so heading off to explore the beaches during the day was a good alternative. Melanie and property managers Cathy and Maryse were all lovely and accommodating and all communications were very efficient. We would definitely recommend this beautiful home and hope to return at some point in the future!

Incredible experience!
A couple friends and I stayed at Patrick and Melanie's villa for 3 weeks and we had really a perfect experience. The home and the views are exactly as pictured/described. If something went wrong (which wasn't common), the property manager or the owners themselves were extremely responsive. The location is near a bunch of amenities but is tucked enough away from the hustle around us. They did recommend we have a rental car which was a great suggestion as we used it often but nothing is ever too far...Phillipsburg a 15 minute drive, Grand Case 20. We couldn't have enjoyed ourselves more!

The view is incredible. The 3 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms were really handy. The pool is a must have.
In a beautiful location overlooking Oyster Pond. A bit of construction going on as there is still rebuilding going on from the hurricane 5 years ago. Nothing so much to bother us. From this property everything is only a max of 20 minutes away.

Gorgeous view
We have been going to the island for many years and stayed at many villas. This one is hard to beat! The house is spacious enough for a family. We had 4 adults and 2 kids. The pool was wonderful and the views are spectacular! Will definitely be staying here again soon. Maryse was available whenever we needed her and the check in and out process was extremely easy.

Winter getaway
After 2 LONG years, we finally completed our dream vacation. This is a beautiful home with amazing views. The renovations were great and the pool was perfect to relax in after a hard day at the beach. Although, we did have to sweep the floors and wash the counters, plus sand in the shower, was not the best, first impression. Overall, would not hesitate to stay here again. Todd M
