Charming seaview studio in French Cul de Sac

Our studio is located in Cul de sac in the heart of the Natural Reserve, in a very calm and secured neighborhood.

It is connected to our house but has its own entrance. You will enjoy the wide terrace in the tropical garden and the stunning ocean view of Orient Beach and Green Caye island. Another asset is the privacy and quietness of this charming place.

The studio is equipped with a very confortable King Sized bed as well as a convertible sofa for relaxing or welcoming an extra person if needed (+18 euros per day).

Our kayak will allow you to venture around the beautiful bay of Cul de Sac and reach our sisters islands of Pinel Island and Little Key: turquoise water, terrific beaches, delicious restaurants, sea turtles and more!


The studio is in a very central location. The little fisherman village of Grand-Case, its gastronomic restaurants and authentic beach is only a mile away.
The quiet beach of Anse Marcel is 5 minutes away and the famous Orient Beach is less than a 10 minutes drive.

The swimming pool is private (only one studio), large, freshly renovated, and salt treated (no chlore). From it, the ocean view behind our Tamarin tree is really enjoyable.

The studio is perfect for couples and nature lovers.

Paradise found

Perfect secluded paradise. Everything we were looking for. Quiet, clean, and away from the nightlife. The kayak for a trip to Pinel Island was perfect. The water filter was a pleasant surprise so we had great water to drink. The host was great and gave us all we needed including a welcome gift of a nice bottle of wine.

Cozy hide-away on French St Marten

We had everthing we needed for our stay. A lovely little kitchen let us stay in and cook after grocery shopping nearby, but also many nearby restaurants available. I was quite entertained by the antics of the little Bananaquits that came to feed, and the Antillian Hummingbirds were a special treat. The pool is clean and lovely for a swim and there are nice loungers to sit in the sun. A 2 minute walk to the community dock and we tandom kayaked across the bay to Pinel Island and had drinks there. Just a 15 minute walk to Orient beach and a 10 minute drive to Anse Marcel beach, which is lovely for swimming. I do recommend having a car for your stay and there is reserved parking. The owner is lovely and very helpful and accommodating.

We will be back! Incredible place!

Overall, 5 starts. Everything about this property met our expectations and more... Françoise and Yves are amazing hosts. Always available to answer questions (before the trip and during our stay). Accuracy of the information provided: pictures of the property and also direction how to get to the property. We suggest to rent a car. Easier to travel around the island. 10 min drive to Orient Beach, 8 min drive to Anse Marcel and less than 30 minutes to the most beautiful beaches or daily / evening activities, French and Dutch sides. Easy access in and out of the gated property which makes it super safe. Kayak available for water adventures to the Pinel Island or to see turtles, fish and stingrays. Pool on the property is clean and a good and relax time under the sun or to chill during the evening. Françoise and Yves were very accommodating and gave us many recommendations on restaurants, beaches and activities. They are amazing and friendly people. We particularly enjoyed the outdoor kitchen. Everything you need to cook a few meals and feel at home. Less than 10 min access to a big grocery store, wine stores and french bakeries and more. The cottage was clean and spacious. Gorgeous view facing Orient Beach. You can hear the waves. Everything you need for an incredible couple getaway. Thank you Françoise and Yves for your extraordinary hospitality. We will be back!

3rd visit to the studio, as always clean and very well maintained. Wonderful to see Françoise and Yves again. They are such great hosts, very warm and friendly. We enjoyed the outdoor kitchen and simple grilled dinners. Pinel was great, even with the unusually windy days.

Had a very nice time!

The studio apartment had everything we needed for a relaxing week! The kitchen area is very well stocked for making a few meals there during the week, and having a full-sized refrigerator was very handy! We had fun taking the kayak over to Pinel, and the neighborhood seemed very safe!

Un vrai petit paradis!

Excellent séjour passé chez Françoise et Yves, qui sont des hôtes très réactifs et attentionnés. Nous avons accès à leur piscine à notre convenance, ce qui est très sympathique de leur part.Le studio est en réalité plus grand que ne le laisse penser les photos.Très bien agencé, très propre et très joliment décoré par des peintures locales.Le vrai plus est la mise à disposition d'un canoé pour découvrir toute la baie et se poser sans contrainte sur les deux petites iles très proches, tout en admirant au passage les tortues!Nous espérons avoir la joie de revenir!

Ein kleines Paradies

Francoise und Yves sind hervorragende Gastgeber - zurückhaltend und ruhig, dennoch jederzeit erreichbar. Die Unterkunft hat alles, was man benötigt. Das Kajak ist top. Durch die wunderschöne grüne Umgebung sind leider Mücken vorhanden. Aus diesem Grund empfiehlt es sich, genug Mückenschutz mitzubringen. Die Zuckervögel und Kolibris beobachten zu können, ist eine wahre Freude. Wir hatten eine tolle Zeit :-)

We LOVE this place!!!

This was our 3rd visit to Francoise's studio in Cul de Sac, St Martin, staying for 2.5 weeks. Absolutely love the studio itself, the gorgeous view of Orient Bay and Pinel Island when you walk out onto the patio. The place is exceptionally clean and well-appointed, the bed is comfy, the A/C and fans offer excellent cooling after a long day at the beach. The studio is close to Grand Case, Orient Beach, and Pinel Island. The best part of our stay and of this property is the owner Francoise and her husband Yves. Francoise is an absolutely delightful lady, so very gracious and kind, and a great communicator, checking in every so often to make sure things are good, to see if we needed anything. We would rate our stay with Francoise higher than 5 stars if we could!! Cannot wait to return!

Mooie studio

De studio was zeer compleet en schoon. Francoise is een zeer vriendelijke gastvrouw. We hebben een heel fijn verblijf gehad in Cul de sac. 1 minpunt: het zwembad ligt bij het huis van de verhuurder (Francoise) en niet bij de studio zodat het voor ons niet een prive zwembad was.

Back in Saint Martin

Our return visit to St. Martin was most enjoyable staying at Cul de Sac. The property was as advertised. A quiet peaceful setting. We very much enjoyed the outdoor space and access to the pool. Francoise was there to meet us upon arrival and was very friendly. Our only recommendation would be that it would have been great to have available a couple of beach chairs. Most days were spent visiting the many lovely beaches on the island. Chair rentals are accessible at most beaches, but at 20-30 Euros per day the cost can add up. The small cooler made available to us was most appreciated. Overall a great time back on the island.

The most beautiful place we have ever stayed!

My wife and I stayed here for a week and I cannot possibly express in words how wonderful it was. From the beauty of the surrounding landscape to the all the tips and ideas provided to us by the homeowner. We were given total privacy unless we asked for anything at which point all was provided promptly. The location and security of the house was wonderful. The pool was fantastic and we so enjoyed the outdoor kitchen and wildlife. If you plan to go to St. Martin, plan to stay here!

Peaceful and quiet, enjoyable!

Just as the photos show, even better. Excellent place- clean, ample, good bathroom. First time on an open kitchen environment, close to nature and very well appointed. We cooked several nights after being out on beaches nearby. Kayak an enjoyable experience. The secluded studio is located in a not so easy to find Cul de Sac area, but a truly enjoyable and repeatable experience, tried to stay 2 extra nights but no airline availability. Francoise and Ives are excellent hosts now we can call friends.

Excellent location, extremely clean, all you need!

Françoise & Yves are wonderful! The studio was extremely clean, fully stocked with all you would ever need, and wonderfully located! The kitchen had all you needed to cook with. A grill, 2 burners, LARGE toaster oven, microwave, dished, glasses, washing up liquid, spices, utensils, coffee pots, all in a covered outdoor kitchen. The bedroom was large, there’s a sitting area (pull out love seat) , storage for clothes & suitcases, along with a small table & chairs. The bathroom is HUGE along with a good sized shower. The pictures make the shower look very small. Everything was immaculate & clean including the outdoor salt water pool. You have your own private entrance to the property & walk way. We had privacy, but when needed Françoise & Yves were there to answer any questions we had. The grounds are beautifully manicured with many varieties of plants bushes and flowers. The house is absolutely stunning. We also had use of a 2 person kayak to explore or paddle out to Pinel island, a must do! The location was quiet, relaxing, and perfectly located to lots of excursions & restaurants the island has to offer. An absolute little gem to stay. We hope to be back and visit Françoise Yves & the wonderful island of St. Martin soon!

Wonderful Relaxing Getaway

We had the opportunity to spend two weeks at this sweet studio. It is a private cozy quiet spot with lots of nature around. We never feed sugar to birds before, but it was great fun. We thought we might Kayak to Pinel Island once or twice, but after discovering how incredible the sand bar, Petite Clef, and Pinel Island were on our second day, we Kayaked almost everyday after. A true must do. We really enjoyed the outdoor kitchen space and cooked / grilled several small simple meals. Sunrise at the community pier is spectacular. Took a couple of dips in the pool, very nice! Françoise is the best. She is such a lovely person as well as an excellent host. We thoroughly enjoyed our conversations with her. Dale/Jan - Ohio

A gem

Just as good as the photographs if not better. Compact yet spacious and well equipped. Françoise was a charming and generous hostess close at hand and helpful whilst allowing her guests their privacy. We did not have a car as it was a short stay and swimming, walking and kayaking to the island kept us entertained. Thoroughly recommend this rental.

A true house in paradise! With fantastic hosts ❤️

What a beautiful place with wonderful hosts, Françoise and Yves. The day with them on the katamaran was the highlight of our trip. There is an outdoor kitchen where we had coffee every morning and cooked a few dinners. Their pool is inviting and we used it most afternoons after spending the day at the beach. There is a grocery store and a little town (Grand Case) close by with many restaurants and shops and a beautiful beach only 5 minutes away, Anse Marcel. You can even kayak across to Pinel Island, which we did twice. Our stay was magical, relaxed and memorable.

Happy to be back!

This was our second visit with Francoise and her family in their studio rental and we enjoyed our stay just as much this time as we did 8 months ago. We had flight issues from the US and ended up not arriving until 2 days later than initially planned but Francoise was kind enough to extend our stay two days on the back end allowing us to fully enjoy the 10 days on the island that we had originally planned for. The property is as lovely as it looks in the photos - the inside is spotless, well-appointed, and a wonderful relaxing spot to come back to after a day on the beach. The location is perfect for us - we spend most of our time on the French side of the island and the studio is less than 10 minutes from Orient and Grand Case, and maybe two minutes from the Pinel Island ferry parking lot. Amenities are plenty - grocery store, wine/cheese shops, clothing, etc. all within 5-10 minutes. Marigot is perhaps 15-20 minutes, depending on the time of day but it's an easy drive to get there. Francoise and her family are excellent hosts - available but in no way intrusive. They are warm and welcoming, and we were also happy to see Jazz (the dog) again as well. If you're looking for a quiet relaxing spot to spend downtime while you're on the island, this property fits the bill all the way around!
