Terres Basses, Terres Basses
This delightful “jewel” is situated on a hillside overlooking the ocean and the Simpson Bay Lagoon with one of the best views on the island! The pool deck is a perfect place to enjoy this 180-degree view during the day or at night under the stars. It’s great for lounging by the pool, enjoying a glass of wine with friends, or a romantic dinner with that special someone.
During the day, the pool is an excellent way to cool off, swim some laps, or relax on a float reading a book. Just a short 3-minute walk from Bijou, is Baie Rouge, one of the most beautiful beaches in St. Martin, where you can go for a swim or snorkel in the warm, crystal clear, Caribbean blue water. Then you can lay out your towel on the sand, so you can enjoy the warm sun, ocean air, and sound of the water.
(Rates are based on a 2 person stay. There is an additional $20/person/night for more than 2 people.)
At the villa, the remodeled kitchen has all the amenities and is an enjoyable place to fix a meal if you want to take a break from eating out at one of the many wonderful restaurants in St. Martin. Barbecue fresh fish on the patio grill for a real treat!
During the day, you can open the shutters onto the pool deck for an open Caribbean living experience, filled with sunshine, tropical air, and views of the water and beautiful garden surrounding the villa. Together with the open floor plan, this creates an enchanting, spacious, and carefree ambience. There is often a cool breeze that comes up the hill from the ocean and lagoon, helping to cool the afternoons.
In the main house, there is a master bedroom with a king bed and en-suite bathroom; and a smaller bedroom with a queen size bed and bathroom across the hall that is perfect for one adult or two children. There is a separate studio cottage with a king size bed, bathroom, and small kitchen just a hundred feet from the main house. This is ideal for another couple, a single relative, or a teenager who wants some space! All bedrooms are air-conditioned.
The Baie Rouge area where Bijou is located is safe, with a gated entrance during nighttime hours. It is just a 15-minute drive from Princess Juliana Airport, and grocery stores are conveniently located just 5 minutes away by car. Marigot, the capital of the French side of St. Martin is a short 10-minute drive, and Grand Case, the “gourmet capital of the Caribbean” is a 20-minute drive.
Included in the rental is a bi-weekly house cleaning but arrangements can be made for cleaning services more often if desired. Our friendly, on island contact and housekeeper, Cindy, will be attentive to your needs. The owner is always happy to answer any questions or concerns you may have. We want your stay at Bijou to be an enjoyable and memorable experience.
Bijou is waiting to welcome you to paradise in St Martin where you can unwind and totally relax. Here you will let go of the stresses of everyday life as you enjoy island life, recreation, and dining. When you return home you will feel sad to leave but fully rejuvenated because of your time at Bijou!
This was our second visit to Bijou (first one since the hurricane) and everything was as nice as before. The owner and her onsite staff are very nice and respond quickly. It's in a great location for most of the better beaches on the island. Only minor issue is that the TV is not cable anymore; it's only streaming services so if you need to watch sports or news, you might be out of luck. Two fantastic restaurants to recommend; 1) Be Kool - fantastic French food and pretty reasonable, too. 2) Spices of India - you can't find better Indian cuisine in the US compared to this place. Surprisingly fantastic.
This was our second stay here, and we opted to stay twice as long- need we say more?
Villa Bijou was just what we needed. Very relaxing and comfortable. Location was perfect for us. I’m a Chef, kitchen was perfect and had everything I need to prepare meals. And a lovely set of sharp knives always makes me a happy camper. The only thing we missed a little was not having cable or satellite at the Villa so we could watch The Masters Tournament, no big deal, it got us away from TV and more pool time…
This is a great property. The view is special. To get up every morning and see this view is special. The property is convenient and Baie Rouge was great while we were there. It is nice that the community is behind a security gate at night. We will definitely be back. Thanks to Lyndy and to Ed for all the help!!!
We greatly enjoyed our stay here. The house is lovely, the pool very nice, and the views are stunning. The location is also very convenient, a short walk to the beach and a short car ride to the bakery, shops, restaurants etc.
The house was beautiful. Had everything we needed and more. Especially loved the welcome basket, the extra left over sunscreen and bug spray from other guests and ALL the spices we had to cook with. This place was the best stocked house we have ever rented. Quiet area and view was beautiful. The beach was fantastic as well. We didn't want to leave.
I agree with most everything stated in the other previous reviews. We traveled all over the island and were pleased with how this villa's location made us feel safe and how it is proximate to Marigot, the airport, Grand Case, several very nice beaches, a variety of restaurants, two mini but well stocked supermarkets, a gas station, and a COVID antigen testing popup site which will provide for only $40 exactly what Americans need to return to the USA. We enjoyed watching the iguanas in the garden, swimming laps in the long pool, dining and reading on the covered patio, and cooking with the nice outdoor gas grill and in the well-stocked kitchen. Cindy the housecleaner was lovely. We fixed Christome the gardener some lunch and enjoyed chatting with him - a nice, gentle man. And house manager Ed and his wife Kate were responsive, friendly, and very helpful with recommendations on beaches and restaurants. Lyndy's restaurant recommendations in her house guide were also super helpful. The nearby road can be loud at times, but it was only a now and then thing and we were generally able to tune it out. We would return.
Thank you to Lyndy and Ed for accommodating us. Looking forward to our return.
Great hosts, spectacular views, steps from Baie Rouge, awesome pool!! This is a great rental, as can be seen from all the renters who have returned- Highly recommended!
Great place to stay in Baie Rouge area. Amazing views and proximity to the one of the best beaches in Saint Martin. What else can you ask for...?
