| If you are looking for the PERFECT spot to escape in understated elegance you have found it. The views and accomodations are only out shone by the gracious ways of Maryline and Alain. The pictures are beatufil but the real thing is amazing. It really is like waking up in paradise. Each reccomendation this lovely couple gave took our experience to a new level. We hope to return to this delightful Bungalow in French Cul de Sac many, many times! Thank you Maryline & Alain. |

PERFECT! The villa is spacious comfortable and has
a great feel; The Air conditioning is great if you get
to hot. We really enjoyed the large porch with
hammock, table, chairs and another sofa.. and of
course the amazing view of the ocean. Two minute
walk to the beach. Maryline and Alain thank you for
your great hospitality and kind open nature. I
recommend your villa to everyone.. I just hope it is
available when Gerald and I return for our next
visit. |

Hello Maryline
We had a great vacation July2009. We wanted to vacation in a small island in a quite spot. Your home in St. Martin, French cul-de-sac fit our needs . I enjoyed the beautiful view from the porch, my daughter slept in the hammock, we all liked dinning out on the porch. Your home was very comfortable and met our needs. We enjoyed going to Marigot and the market buy fresh food and able to cook with ease. I particularly enjoyed my walks with in the compound, I felt safe with the gated entry. The arrangement for us get in and use the house done with great care. Best thing was the fresh baguette when we arrived tried after a long flight. Every beach and spot around the island was spectacular. I recommended your home any one who wants to see St. Matrin or looking for quite beautiful hide out away from it all
Thank you for let us use your home

| This was truly one of the most wonderful, peaceful and relaxing vacations we have ever taken. This bungalow is ideally situated and, in our opinion, a bargain. You are close to everything on the island yet have your own peaceful setting away from the hustle bustle of the "resort" atmosphere. And, on top of all of that, you get to meet two wonderful people in Maryline and Alain. We feel that they are our friends for life. They will help you with whatever you need and point you in the right direction for the best time of your life. A week went by too quickly and we are already thinking about our next trip there.Please feel free to email us for more information. |

| This beautifully appointed studio is the equivalent of a one bedroom apartment. The photos are accurate and, if anything, do not show the full beauty of the place. Inside and out it is extremely satisfying. The owners are accommodating and charming. Could not have been better. Definitely a "return to" place. |

We stayed at Maryline & Alain's place for a week in
Feb 09 and had a great time. The villa is at least as
good as all the previous comments suggest. The
pictures are accurate but the reality is even better
than the pictures. The location is delightfully
peaceful but (on most days) is only ten minutes
drive to Grand Case and less to Orient Bay. Much
better value than two "bargain" hotels we stayed at
on Saint Martin.

Maryline and Alaine,
Your beach bungalow was marvelous for us....the two weeks we were there have been our best yet. The room is much bigger than I would have expected. Your hospitality was greatly appreciated. We certainly will stay with you again when we return to St. Maarten....cheers!!! |

We recently stayed at Maryline and Alain’s place in Cul de Sac. It was simply ‘great’.
Here’s what it is: A very clean, nice size villa with a private porch that has an amazing view of the bay. It was exciting to wake up every morning, open the shutters, and see the great sight. Truly beautiful. In addition, there is a small fridge and toaster oven so we bought some amazing meats, cheese, and breads and had that for breakfasts and lunches. It’s located in a quiet part on the French side of the island. It’s very close to Orient Beach, Anse de Marcel, and the ferry to Pinel.
Here’s what it’s not: A resort. It doesn’t have all the amenities (ie no pool, not right no big beach with beach chairs). No concierge desk although Maryline and Alain would be happy to help point you in the right direction.
All this being said we much preferred to stay here. Rates were very reasonable and Maryline and Alain really added to our overall vacation, one night even having drinks at their place and then going to dinner together. Where are you going to find that at a resort?
In summary, we can’t wait until we can return and stay here again!

| We (myself, my wife, and 6 year old daughter ) had the pleasure of staying 8 nights in this beautifully situated bungalow August 2008. The elevated view out the sliding glass doors and large , shaded covered porch with hammock opens up to lovely Pinel Bay and Island ( post card quality view ).. The bungalow is large and very well maintained with all the amenities needed for a comfortable holiday. This place is excellent value for the price. It is also perfectly located as it is only a 5 minute drive to Orient Beach and Grand Case. Maybe a 10 minute drive to Anse Marcel and Friars Bay/ Happy Bay. The owners live next door and are charming, helpful, and will answer all your questions about the island. |

| We enjoyed our stay very much. The bungalow was very comfortable and the view from the balcony was beautiful. We also found the Cul de Sac area to be one of the most peaceful places on the island. Thank you. |
