  Misty L from Granbury, TX recommends this vacation rental

  The location of this home is unbeatable! Located on top of a restaurant with another beach bar next door as well! Private pool was amazing to come back to after a long day of island exploring. Beautiful sunrises from the ocean can be seen from the balcony.
  
  Our family loved the options this home provided to spread out & all to have our own space, together. The private parking spot in a busy area like this was a big win also!
  
  Nightly music could be enjoyed in the rooftop pool without having to leave the rental but wasn’t too loud to allow for early bedtime either.
  
  I almost hate to share how great this place is & let the secret out since we want to go back & want it available.
  
  We will be back!

  We absolutely loved Sol y Mar. First time traveling to St. Martin and so happy that we chose to stay in Simpson Bay. The property was in an excellent location and the rental office was so responsive to all of our needs. We will absolutely be returning.

  Samantha C recommends this vacation rental

  Sol Y Mar was the perfect rental for our vacation. We had 6 adults and 2 children (3 & 1). The unit layout provided everyone with necessary privacy and also allowed us to feel together as a family. The kitchen was well stocked, the location was unbeatable, and the staff was amazing. We thoroughly enjoyed Green House Restaurant directly downstairs. Super convenient! We also frequented Buccaneer Beach Bar and enjoyed ourselves. A few things I feel worth mentioning... the noise from outside establishments can get loud (which didn't bother us- we used sound machines to drown it out). We were planning on using the crib for our 1 year old, however we did find the crib to be in poor condition and the mattress was significantly stained. BUT, due to the location and amenities you might not want to leave. Overall this was a fabulous unit. We will 100% never look elsewhere for a rental. This was amazing and we are already looking forward to returning!

  Rick D from Broadway, VA recommends this vacation rental

  The 6 of us had such a great time!! The location to stores and to the beach was just perfect. I think the best thing about it was the access to the beach bar as well as the restaurant downstairs. Also nice being served food and drink while sitting on the beach. Some sargassum but not too bad. The pool was also nice to have, but in September it gets a little warm and it is quite shallow. I think the only downside is that for some reason housekeeping comes twice a week for at least 7 hours each time. For people like us, that is just not needed. My sister in law was lying down in her bedroom trying to get some rest and the housekeeper went and knocked on her door. Small issue, but still. I don't know if we could have requested less housekeeping or not. Probably our fault for not asking. Besides that small inconvenience, AWESOME!!

  The villa was clean, had a FANTASTIC location, excellent views, and was in the center of night life. We could not have picked a better location for our stay. Literally steps from the beach, 3 restaurants, and grocery stores. Had it's own dedicated parking space which wave very helpful and the private pool was amazing. Would definitely stay again!

  James P from Andoer, MA recommends this vacation rental

  We stayed at this property and the location is awesome for walking to many restaurants and bars as well as having beach access. It has a great market a little ways down the road that carries everything imaginable. Sit out on either the pool deck or the deck facing the beach and listen to the music at happy Buccaneer Beach Club at Happy Hour. If you like being in the thick of the action this is most definitely the property for you!the management company that handles this property is second to none. Everything was flawless from start to finish.

  Mark & Julie A from Arlington, TN recommends this vacation rental

  Sol Y Mar is an exceptional villa on Kim Sha beach. After staying in various properties and locations over the past 10 years in Sint Maarten, we found our home away from home. The location can't be beat. The owners have thought of everything to make your stay enjoyable. We enjoyed sitting on the terrace every morning and watching the boats and activity on the beach.
  
  In addition, Cherise and Maia are great property managers. From meeting you at the rental car counter to escort you to the property, to having an initial stock of groceries in the villa, and checking on you along the way, their service is the best I've experienced on our many visits to Sint Maarten.

  • Manager Responded on 3/31/2021

    Thank you very much. We look forward to welcoming you to Sint Maarten for your next vacation!

  The Sol Y Mar is where we stayed for a week in January/19. The location cannot be beat! The actual penthouse apartment is absolutely beautiful. we were 8 adults. We have been to SXM several times but this was probably one of our best stays yet. Maia at IRE was excellent to deal with. Everything went smooth. The outside sitting areas are lovely in the villa. But,,,location is just about the best on the island. We have always loved the Simpson Bay area,,with so many places to eat, dance, etc within walking. I would highly recommend this place for a wonderful, clean, safe place to stay. Parking was avail. Only one suggestion is to have TV's in bedroom, as stated in advertisement for the villa. There was only one tv in the main living room. Other than that, everything was excellent.
