Breathtaking views of the ocean. It was hard to leave. Stunning house. Everything was beautiful and worked great for our family. Cindy the housekeeper is amazing. Can't say enough good things about the home.

Perfect – Relaxing Vacation My wife and I have visited the Caribbean before and stayed in upscale resorts. We even rented Villa Carisa for 8 days in 2017, just before Hurricane Irma. After some new research we decided to revisit Villa Carisa in mid-June. What can we say other than – spectacular and extraordinary. The pictures on the web site are accurate but they do not truly capture the quality of the villa or the beauty of the setting. Walking into the villa is a breathtaking experience. You have heard of infinity pools, well Villa Carisa has an “infinity living room.” The view of the bright blue water is magnificent. As described in the materials, the villa has a stunning pool and jacuzzi. The sound system is awesome. The kitchen is well equipped. We ate EVERY meal during our seven day stay outside under the gazebo. We knew the beach was going to be secluded but, in many ways, it seemed that we had our own private one-mile beach. The Baie Rouge sand is soft and there are large rocks on the beach at the entrance to the water, but there was more sand this year than in 2017 and many of the rocks were covered. Fortunately, there is a 100–200-yard stretch of pure sand right in front of Carisa which made easy access to the beautiful blue water. We had also heard concerns about seaweed in the Caribbean. Not to worry, the water was pristine. Finally, we found a great place right in front of the villa to snorkel, which we visited many-many times, with lots of brightly colored fish. We walked the beach several times each day. We also visited several other beaches on the island but always found Baie Rouge to be our favorite. We did find seaweed at Orient Beach. We went grocery shopping a few times to make sure we had all the food and drink we needed for our visit. We also used the St. Martin Blue website to order meal delivery to the villa. It was the perfect way to have gourmet food on a beautiful beach with the best views on the island under the gazebo at our villa. We especially liked the Paella Valenciana. Thank you to all who made our stay so very extraordinary: Cindy, the delightful housekeeper, and a wonderful concierge team. Villa Carisa is the top property on St. Martin for two to four guests. We give it the highest possible recommendation. We look forward to visiting again for what we are sure will be another perfect vacation.

Villa Carisa is absolutely STUNNING. The villa is exactly as it appears in the photos and really exceeded our expectations. The decor is minimalistic and makes the villa feel so peaceful. We were greeted by the wonderful housekeeper, Cindy, who gave us the grand tour and allowed us to pick our bedroom (since we only reserved one). She was so kind and answered all of our questions, as well as entertained our "ooh"s and "ahh"s as we walked around the property. We did not feel the need nor want to really leave the villa. We made breakfast and lunch at the home every day and ate out only once- otherwise we got takeout for dinner and brought it back to eat at the outdoor dining table. You cannot beat the views at Carisa! Cindy gave us flexibility with her schedule, allowing us to let her know if a certain time was better for her daily cleaning. She kept the villa looking beautiful and always asked to make sure we were doing well and did not need anything. Also- the property is very secure. You have to be let into the gated Baie Rouge Residences community by a guard and then the home itself has a gate, which opens with a clicker, which you are provided, or may be opened from inside the house if you are home. We felt very safe and secluded, which was what we wanted for this vacation. You will have the most magical time in Saint Martin if you stay at Villa Carisa! It absolutely was the best vacation we have ever been on.
