Cul de Sac, Collectivité de Saint-Martin
Our condo “The Sea Palm” is located on Orient Bay Beach, French side, Saint Martin- regularly voted among the top beaches in the Caribbean – offering a 2 mile long white sand beach and year-round warm turquoise waters. The condo is located in the Mont Vernon residence on the quiet North end of Orient Bay with direct beach access. Both the pool and beach are at your feet, less than 1 min. From the condo. A 10-15 min stroll down the beach will take you to numerous restaurants, boutiques and water sports.
“The Sea Palm” is located on the second floor in the “Saba” building of Mt Vernon- which is front row, with unobstructed magnificent views of Orient Beach, neighboring islands and mountains. The spacious 86 sq ft balcony is the perfect spot to enjoy breakfast, cocktails, and romantic dinners. The balcony sliding glass door opens all the way up and hides behind a sidewall pocket- creating a gorgeous indoor/outdoor space. “The Sea Palm” has been completely renovated (October 2023) and refurnished in a tranquil contemporary style. It has a unique layout with a separate bedroom. The bedroom has a European queen size all new bed with mattress topper, closets on both walls, and storage for suitcases. Convenient en-suite bathroom, which can also be accessed from the living room. The living room has a sleeper sofa for 1 or 2 additional guests. Fully equipped kitchen cooktop, oven, microwave etc- you can cook meals while enjoying the breathtaking view and listening to the ocean. Smart TV and reliable fast WiFi (fiber-optic). There is a washer in the condo as well. Sheets, towels and beach towels included.
The Mont Vernon residence has 24/7 security and underwent a complete renovation the past couple of years, including a brand new waterfront pool (and wading pool!) with complimentary lounge chairs. The residence also has beautiful tropical landscaping and walkways, a tiny grocery store, a pizzeria (with excellent pizza!) and 2 parking lots. A 10-15 min stroll down the beach will take you to numerous restaurants, boutiques and water sports. Close to several supermarkets, Orient Bay Village with restaurants and shops, Grand Case- the French gourmet capital of the Caribbean with a lot of restaurants from fine dining to feet in the sand dining, and close to boat that will take you to Pinel Island (which you can by the way paddle board or kayak to instead if you want!). Whether you are looking to just chill at the beach/pool, or like kite surfing, paddle boarding, snorkeling, diving, hiking, zip lining, or french/creole cuisine- this is the perfect place. Paradise awaits…
Note: There are stairs on premises. We also recommend renting a car.
This was our 4th time visiting the island and the second time staying at Mont Vernon. We always look for a more local, quiet spot to stay and this is truly it. Line and Marc, as well as their property managers, were wonderful hosts making sure we had everything we needed, even providing a pack and play for our 1 year old. The unit itself is beautifully renovated, had a perfectly stocked kitchen, and a separate bedroom (which many of the other rental in this complex do not have). The views from the unit are beautiful. It’s a short walk down to the newly finished pool. The market and pizzeria were so wonderful to have. Especially having a baby who goes to bed early. We were able to order from there several nights and enjoy dinner on the terrace. When our flight was delayed going home, Line and Marc were so generous to accommodate us for an extra night. We were very pleased with everything and would highly recommend for future visits. Thank you for hosting our family!
There is a wide range of nearby restaurants that are just a short drive ( 5 mins) or a beach walk (15-20 mins). We made this this walk easily 1-2x per day. Pinel Island is a must-see. Plan ahead by reserving chairs, so you have a place to call home when you arrive. The short ferry was quick and simple, but I would have also considered renting a kayak if it were available. (also need to book ahead). We would definitely stay here again!
The managers of the property were so wonderful and kind. The owners were so helpful and quick to respond. Right on a beautiful beach. Not a lot of restaurants and night life in that area but very peaceful.
We really enjoyed our stay at the SeaPalm SXM and can highly recommend a vacation here. From the balcony the view is perfect, overlooking the garden, poolarea and finally the ocean. The apartment is located very close to the beach where you will find all kind of watersport activities and beach restaurants. By the pool there are plenty of sunbeds and we never experienced any problems with the availability. There is a pizzaria at Mont Vernon, where they make very good pizzas. Next to the pizzaria, there is a small grocery store, where they sell baguettes and the most needful things. In driving distance you will find Grand Case with a lot of fantastic restaurants, some of them in surroundings where you have your feet-in-the-sand while dining. We used the guide from Line & Marc, which is in the apartment. The guide is very useful to inspiration for things to do and some very great nearby restaurants. Dont miss the opportunity to visit Calmos Cafe in Grand Case and of course Pinel Island! We rented a car all days at St. Maarten, this is also highly recommendable, so you can access all 37 beaches and the nearby restaurants whenever you want - you will not regret this!
The unit was fully stocked with everything you would need. The view was beautiful. All our questions were answered very quickly. Very nice accommodations. As we are seniors the many stairways were a little difficult to maneuver. Definitely not ADA accessible.
My husband and I stayed at The Sea Palm for 9 days in April of 2017 for our 10 year wedding anniversary. We truly enjoyed our stay there. The view was amazing amd it was very relaxing to sit there at night and listen to the waves crash onto the shores of Orient beach! The beach itself was beautiful beyond words. We walked it almost every day. Everyone is very friendly. Local food was delicious. Line and Mark were extremely helpful with any questions or concerns we had about the area or the condo. I would refer this property to any family or friends looking to visit St. Martin. If and when my husband and I ever get a chance to return, we would definitely stay here again. Thanks so much to line and Mark for renting out their wonderful piece of paradise!

Had a great vacation. Condo was very close to the beach. Clean, well maintained. Property manager Suzon & Jeremy were a pleasure. Condo owners were great as well any issues were taken care of immediately. Would highly recommend staying here.
We spent 2 weeks at Sea Palm (we have stayed multiple times) and continue to be impressed by this studio. Sea Palm offers everything you need to enjoy a great vacation in the Orient Beach area. The studio is comfortable, has all the amenities (wifi, cable tv, scenic balcony, etc) that you need. The property is well maintained and the owners are great to work with. This property is great for a beach getaway, girls trip, or romantic vacation for two. It is well equiped with a refrigerator, stove/cooktop, dishwasher-along with all the basic essentials. Mont Vernon offers an on-site restaurant or there are many options for dining in close proximity. If you are looking for a great property, no matter what the occasion, this property meets and exceeds all expectations in the Mont Vernon/Orient Beach area.
This was our first trip to St. Martin and I am so happy we choose this lovely condo in this quiet NE corner of the Island. I can not imagine how important this might be in high season A few notes: - Pool truly is big, clean and swimmable, and literally at the edge of the beginning of the sand beach on the ocean(the pictures are real!). - Surf and wind is pretty constant on this side, I liked it, my wife made sure we made a day to swim over on the calm side of the Island too. - It is a little hike from the parking area to the condo, so do accept the offer of help with your bags. - The furniture, kitchen and appliances are all new and the architecture of the renovation is sophisticated and efficient. - The private patio is great, had breakfast there every day. - They have it all - except washing machine, though there is a nice wash and fold in the complex, 24 hr. service. - The little restaurant and wash & fold laundry at the top of the hill in the resort is a hidden gem, try the Norwegian Pizza. - The French colonial restaurant, Sol e Luna, up the street, that Marc & Line recommend, is magical. - The etang or marsh/slough visible through the trees is a great birdwatching natural area, there is a little dock/blind off the parking area where you can take pictures. We saw a HUGE(1 M long) Iguana near there. LOCAL COLOR - If you stay over here in this area, at this condo style redo of the ex Hotel Mt. Vernon particularly, a morning or afternoon trip to Isle Pinel is de rigueur. The island, Isle Pinel, is a fun little microcosm of these windward islands with a little nature hike and then in the water service at the two bar/cafes at the little hourly ferry dock. - We spent a afternoon in Grand Case, another afternoon we spent at Grand Case Beach club so we could swim on the glassy smooth side of island - We spent an afternoon in Marigot. Plan on the market days, make time to walk around. - We drove to airport through the Dutch side, there were no 0 cruise ships in port that day so was pretty civilized. Beware of the cruise ships count when planning your time there. - If you miss American groceries try the super markets on the Dutch side, if you are an Francophile stick to the French side. - Want an adventure, and potentially loose your car rental deposit, rent a more rugged four wheel drive and go up to the top of Pic Paradis
