Turtle Nest

Property Description

Turtle Nest welcomes you with the gentle charm of its lush tropical garden, leading you toward a breathtaking panorama of the Caribbean Sea. This incredible villa is set on a slight rise at the edge of Baie Longue beach in Terres Basses, Saint Martin. The villa takes its name from one of nature's most extraordinary sights, the nesting sea turtles that return each year to lay their eggs on the soft sands directly in front of the property, a quiet and protected ritual that adds to the natural wonder and serenity of this seaside haven. Perched on a gentle rise along the pristine shores of Baie Longue Beach, Turtle Nest offers an uninterrupted view of a horizon painted in dazzling shades of turquoise and sapphire. From its vantage point, you can admire the silhouettes of Saba, Statia, St. Kitts, and Nevis on a clear day, floating like jewels on the distant sea. Sailboats, yachts, and cruise ships glide across the water while planes descend gracefully in the distance, creating a mesmerizing blend of movement and tranquility. The villa's contemporary Caribbean architecture makes the most of its idyllic setting, seamlessly merging indoor and outdoor living. Wide glass doors vanish into the walls, opening the elegant interiors to the sea breeze. Sand-colored tiles flow from room to terrace, blending naturally with the beach beyond. Expansive covered verandas provide ample space for al fresco dining and lounging, while the stunning infinity pool seems to melt into the ocean's edge. The pool terrace, furnished with oversized daybeds and loungers, invites you to unwind beneath the sun, and a charming gazebo by the shore offers bar-style seating, a dining area, and a barbecue, ideal for sunset gatherings. Inside, the open-plan design exudes understated elegance. The decor balances modern sophistication with old-world Caribbean charm, featuring handcrafted shuttered doors, vaulted ceilings, and a soothing palette of cream, white, and taupe accented by vibrant island hues. The living and dining areas flow into a sleek, fully equipped kitchen. Entertainment options include a flat-screen TV, Wi-Fi, and an outdoor sound system. Turtle Nest's four bedrooms are of equal size; two at each end of the main house, all with sea views. Two have private terraces. Spacious and serene, each room's decor blends a neutral palette with vibrant art and accessories. Spa-style bathrooms, in taupe and creamy tones, have walk-in showers and designer accessories. One has an outdoor garden shower. You are secluded, yet very close to amenities. You are steps from Baie Longue beach. It's a short drive to Baie Nettle's restaurants. In 10 minutes, you reach the charming French capital of Marigot with restaurants, shops, and galleries, historic buildings, and the Creole Market. Drive 25 minutes to Grand Case and Philipsburg's shopping haven. A mere 10 minutes to the international airport.

Fourteen Days In Paradise

Overall, it was a remarkable and memorable experience. The villa and its location were beyond compare. Our entire itinerary went without any hurdles which made for a stress-free vacation. The staff at the villa were very accommodating and kept in touch with us each day to ensure all was in order. The villa was beautifully landscaped and provided total privacy. The only issue we had was with pest control. We were frequently plagued by small ants in the kitchen area and small biting flies in the patio area. The furniture in the main living area may need to be updated. Otherwise, everything else was great. We were also extremely pleased with the choice of our chef, Laura Uny. She was very gracious and professional, provided some amazing dishes of varying cuisines, and made our dining experience most memorable. She is to be commended. Our driver, Fitzroy, was very reliable, friendly and was always prompt in our pickup times. Our stay was one for the books! Many thanks for putting this together.
