Princess Heights 402
"Superlative views of St. Barts" is how one renter described the view from unit 402. From the time you walk in through the mahogany front door, you'll know why this luxury boutique hotel with its granite counter tops, recessed lighting and marble floors, is consistently rated by visitors as one of the top rental experiences on the island. But don't get used to the comfort inside, for outside, a whole new world awaits!...

A short walk or drive down the hill will put you on Dawn Beach which you’ve already seen from the balcony. Rated by many travel magazines as one of the most beautiful beaches in the Caribbean, you can relax under the palm trees or find great snorkeling right off the beach. But tear yourself away and don’t limit yourself to just this beach, as there are dozens more, just a rental car drive away! Visit Orient Beach, the most famous on the island with many bars, restaurants and activities. Then there is Pinel Island, a 10 minute ferry ride from French Cul-de-Sac, with warm, calm crystal clear water. Or go to Plum Bay (Baie aux Prunes in French), our personal favorite and you’ll find a nearly deserted beautiful mile long beach. It’s almost like having your very own beach in paradise! There are many more beaches to discover as well, each as beautiful as the next! You may want to take a day and cruise to Anguilla or St. Barts, both beautiful islands which you can see from St. Maarten. And when you return to the condo, take a dip in the Olympic size pool, which is never crowded, or relax on the large covered balcony with a cool exotic drink. But don’t try to do it all, you’re here to relax and recharge. And there’s always next year!
Unit 402 is a spacious, 1000 sf, 1 bedroom, 1 and 1/2 bath condo. Over the last year the unit has been repainted, new central a/c unit has been installed and the kitchen has been upgraded with stainless steel appliances, blender, and a coffee/cappuccino machine. New living room furniture includes a queen size pullout sofa and an over-sized single pull out chair, both with extra plush mattresses. There is a new flat screen TV and DVD player and free broadband internet. The bedroom has a new king size pillow-top mattress, 500 thread-count duvet comforter, flat screen TV and DVD player.
With a full kitchen, you can easily eat meals in, though the island boasts many world class restaurants. Grand Case is well known throughout the Caribbean and the world for its restaurants. But there are many other fine restaurants throughout the island. And if you’re on a budget try the all you can eat ribs at several different locations. We always eat at Mark’s Place on the way in from the airport, where you can get all you can eat ribs, salad, rice or scalloped potatoes for $12/person! It’s not to be missed! Then pick up any groceries you might need at Le Grande Marche next door.
