My fiance and I recently rented this condo in the Nettle Bay Beach Club for 11 nights. Prior to our arrival, the owner, Mr. Constant, was always prompt in responding to my emails and was very helpful with any questions we had. The condo was recently very nicely renovated, was extremely clean and well-maintained, had several modern appliances, and had a full wall of sliding doors which opened up to an amazing view of the ocean (which is just steps away from the deck and is very private)! The community itself is very peaceful and safe, with friendly security guards that constantly walk the premises. This condo is on the French side of the island, which is quite different than the Dutch side, so we found ourselves spending more time on the Dutch side, actually, due to the fact that there are a bit more restaurants (and more moderately priced) on that side. However, we did use the condo kitchen to cook several of our meals, and Marigot itself (which is just a few minutes up the street) offers a handful of wonderful restaurants. Probably one of our favorites was La Croissanterie - a delicious breakfast place overlooking boats in the harbor! In addition, Grand Case is about a 10 minute drive away and contains some excellent French restaurants overlooking the water. Our favorite was Calmos Cafe, which is a laid back restaurant/bar with tables right on the sand and live Spanish music 2 nights per week. Overall, we would highly recommend this condo in Nettle Bay! Elisa, the onsite property manager, was extremely friendly, helpful, and accomodating! She spent almost an hour talking with us on our departure day, giving us various suggestions for our upcoming honeymoon to France :) We greatly enjoyed our time in St Martin and in this condo!
