Fantastic

We had a very enjoyable week at Villa Pinel. We've rented many places in many locations over the year, and this villa is far an away the best stocked, maintained and presented we have experienced. Everything you need is there for you - it is a good kitchen for making a nice dinner, and the gas BBQ is in like new condition. Anything we could think of was close at hand.
The view is absolutely stunning -the pictures do not do it justice! Our children really enjoyed the pool, which is large and was always refreshing.
We took day trips in our car to many of the popular locations on the island (you will want a car) but enjoyed most the lazy days where we simply kayaked to Pinel Island in the morning and enjoyed the service at Karibuni. Pinel Island is a very special spot.
Veronique is running a very professional operation, it is like checking in to a boutique hotel, but the space is all yours. We will be back.

Wonderful stay at Villa Pinel

We had a very enjoyable stay at Villa Pinel. Veronique was great to work and very responsive to questions / concerns before and during our stay. The photos represent the villa well and the property is nicely maintained. I never grew tired of the view of the bay! The A/C in the bedrooms worked great and the beds were comfortable. I was impressed by how well stocked the kitchen was with dishware, glasses (all kinds!), and silverware. Lots of bowls, pans / pots, utensils, and decent knives for cooking too! A good array of spices and pantry staples in the cabinet. It was very easy and fun to stay in and cook dinner! You will need bug spray as the mosquitos were hungry during our visit but it didn't dampen our time outside. It was very easy livin' at Villla Pinel!

PERFECT Family Getaway!

Wow! This villa was everything we hoped for and more! Veronique was wonderful to work with leading up to our vacation as well as while we were there. The villa was perfect for the 7 of us and the view was absolutely incredible! The location was perfect and we loved going into Grand Case and Orient Bay for dinners. We loved using the kayaks and went over to Pinel Island 3 times during our stay (the beach was one of our favorite)! Veronique also helped put us in touch with Chef Jerome who cooked one of the best meals I have ever had on our last night in the villa. We cannot wait to be back one day soon and would highly recommend this villa for anyone considering visting SXM.

Everything we hoped it would be... and more

Four couples shared Villa Pinel and we had a fabulous time. Veronique delivered on every representation made in the listing. Nothing was overstated. The Villa itself is even more beautiful than the photos portray. The bedrooms and living space were roomy and comfortable, and the amenities(kayaks, grill, maid service, kitchen provisions , towels, etc.) were plentiful. On the rare occasion that something we desired wasn't readily available, Veronique was immediately accessible to assist.
The Villa's location is outstanding. It is a little off the beaten path, so it would be relaxing for those who want to enjoy a little solitude. Our group was looking for activity and good food and drink, however, and remarkable boating, paddling, hiking, climbing, snorkeling and other activities were at our doorstep in the Reserve area and Pinel Island. Extraordinary restaurants were available at nearby Grand Case and Orient, but our favorite meal of the trip was an impromptu lunch prepared and enjoyed on the Villa porch when we acquired a beautiful Mahi from Veronique's son, a fisherman who docks his boat at the water's edge.
I had some reservations about mosquitos based upon reviews I had read before our trip, but they were not an issue for us at all during our trip.
We rarely return to the same vacation location twice, but I am sure that we will make an exception for Villa Pinel. It was an outstanding experience.
