Overall, our stay was great and we'd definitely recommend the property. Just a handful of things that could be improved.
The Great
* The view and open air nature of the property can't be beat. The pictured patio with the pool honestly puts this stay in another category. We were able to keep the door to the patio open the entire time – never feeling like you were truly indoors, nor filtering the amazing sound of the waves crashing into the rocks.
* Layout is great. Views are maximized by the 2 story layout.
* Parking in SXM can be tough, so the private parking spot was a huge bonus.
* Property was centrally located to both the French and Dutch parts of the island where we chose to spend most of our time – and that wasn't just convenience. A couple of great beaches are within walking distance and the same goes for grocery.
* Kitchen was just what we needed for the light cooking we did.
* Property was well stocked with essential kitchen, bath, and beach items.
* Checkin process w/ Stacey was very simple and there wasn't hardly anything required of us at checkout.
* Mid week cleaning service did a nice job and even finished inflating a pool floaty that we had left uninflated!!
Could be better
* As others have said, the showers aren't great. We had hot water and good pressure in one shower for the first couple of days - and hot water with very poor pressure in the other. At about midweek, pressure remained what it was, but we lost all hot water. We reported this, but it was never addressed.
* The Internet is very flakey. It was down completely when we arrived and back up the next morning, but WiFi signal strength varies significantly from room to room and I found myself having to hop between three differed SSIDs on the property depending on the room we were in, but even that didn't always work.
* We never could get the Amazon Fire Sticks working correctly on the upstairs TVs. They seem to be paired with the TV remotes (the Fire Stick remotes didn't work at all), but the TV remotes didn't have all of the necessary functionality, so navigation was impossible. We fortunately brought our own Roku and made it work for post beach evening binging.
This would easily be 5 stars overall. Solid value with a view that can't be beat, but the shower and WiFi situations were a little annoying for a vacation and that's largely all that impacted our less than perfect rating.
