| My husband and I just returned from a wonderful stay at the Hummingbird. This was our first trip to St. Maarten and we thoroughly enjoyed our trip. The island is beautiful and the cultural diversity is a bonus. We would highly recommend Vista Marina. The property is so well-maintained and efficiently managed. We enjoyed getting to know owners Christine and Skip and took their recommendations to find several outstanding restaurants. Car rental has never been so convenient. We were met at the airport, driven on an informative tour of the island, did the paperwork on our deck overlooking Oyster Pond, and were met at the airport drop off and simply turned over the keys! What a plus. We hope for a return stay soon! |

My husband and I just returned from a fabulous stay at the Hummingbird Guesthouse. It was EVERYTHING the ad said... and more. The accommodations were very comfortable, roomy and of good quality. We loved the large veranda to sit outside and enjoy coffee in the mornings and cocktails in the evening. Christine and Skip were the perfect hosts who made us feel welcome and were helpful. We highly recommend the Hummingbird and are definitely planning on returning.

It is my privilege and delight to have the opportunity to spend time in this beautiful apartment.
I am a painter and come sometimes not just to visit the owners who are great friends, but also to paint the stunning views from the poolside or terraces.If you'd like to see these images or other prints of St Martin, I exhibit at the Harmony Nights in Grand Case on Tuesday evenings until the end of March..or get in touch through my email address.
This apartment is like a paint box..rich in color, sumptuous in decor, and be assured you will receive not only a warm welcome but will feel you are in a separate and luxurious paradise. |

My fiance and I stayed at the Hummingbird Guesthouse this past December and split our time between the Guest House and the Westin, just down the road, with the rest of his family. What a wonderful addition the villa was to our stay. We spent relaxing mornings on the porch, overlooking Oyster Bay and checking our email. Other mornings were spent cooking breakfast for his family before we went out to explore the island. Because half of his family had rooms at the Westin, we spent a good portion of time taking advantage of the Westin pool, beach, restaurants and casinos. The dogs were a great addition as well and several photos are included in our vacation photo album!
10 stars for Hummingbird!

| The Hummingbird House was a great find for my two sons and their fiances to share. The couples split the week as the rest of us were a mile away at the Dawn Beach Westin. The kids each made us a delicious breakfast and it meant we had a big fridge for leftovers and snacks. The view is truly spectacular and the pool and terrace are great places to chat, read and relax. The kids particularly enjoyed the dogs and free wireless access. The bedroom is lovely with tons of closet space - the bathroom is huge and the kitchen is very well equipped. It was truly a home away from home. It was a fantastic find and added to an amazing week. We celebrated our 35th anniversary two days after the couples surprised us by announcing their engagements!!! You will surely enjoy the Hummingbird House and the excellent staff that comes with the property. |

My husband John and I enjoyed the coziness of
Hummingbird. We loved the gardens, the pool, the
dogs, and the views. A very comfortable spot that
felt like home. Private with great help and
hospitality from Sandra, Homere, and Christine, the
owner. Since the island is small, it's an easy drive to
anywhere. We particularly enjoyed nearby Oyster
Bay beach for the snorkeling. |

Having had the privelege of staying in this wonderful place...I felt as If I had found paradise.....a beautifully appointed and decorated apartment, with lush fabrics, a luxuriously large and comfortable bed with a mass of colorful cushions on it, and a sense everywhere of opulence, comfort, peace and tranquility, combined with an atmosphere and decor perfect for the Caribbean. The spacious and private terrace is an added luxury and the pool below, the amazing garden and breathtaking views beyond, complete my idea of Heaven.
My only sadness, was that I had no one to share it with as it is a place for romance personified....

| My husband Steve and I stayed at the Hummingbird for the first time last March. It was our second trip to St.Maarten and we didn't want to stay in a hotel. I found the villa on line and from my first inquiry I knew that this was the place for us. The pictures that you can view on different links are very accurate and so is the description. The grounds are lush and tropical and beautifully maintained as is the swimming pool. We rent a car for the week and go to different beaches every day and it's a great location to head out from. By the time we arrive home it's nice to know that we can stay in and make a meal while enjoying the beautiful view. Of course there are plenty of places close by to go or you can venture to Grand Case or Phillipsburg for the night. It also really nice to be greeted by the dogs each day - love them!! By far the best part of Vista Marina is the incredible hosts Christine and Skip. Their home is on the property, but you don't even know they are there unless you want to and trust me once you've met them you want to see them. We are going back again this March and we can't wait. During our visits we have seen alot of the island, but after our stay at the Hummingbird last year we have no interest staying somewhere else. If you are looking for a place to stay that you can say "let's go home" instead of "let's go back to the room" then you should seriously look into this wonderful gem - we felt like we really lucked out when we discovered it. |

My wife Penny and I have stayed in "The Hummingbird" for the past two of the seven years we have been coming to SXM. The grounds are as beautiful as described. The Hummingbird suite is exactly as the pictures describe it, as well. The grounds and rooms are exceptionaly clean and the staff(Sandra and Homere) and Christine, the owner are as helpfull and accomadating as can be. I reccomend it highly.
Penny and I enjoy the location because it is in a more residential setting and although it is amid many other Villas the foliage makes it feel very quiet and secluded.
A minimum of exploring turns up many excellent places to dine within sight from the balcony. A short drive to Phillipsberg opens up another entirely new selection of dining and shoping experiences.
The beaches are also exceptional.
I have gone on enouhg. as you can tell Penny and I will be back at our usual time in 2008 and for the forseable future as well !!
