This apartment is located in an excellent spot. Being in a residential neighborhood while being at walking distance from the beach, restaurants, bars, casinos, activities and supermarkets you have everything right at your doorstep. This is a perfect 1 bedroom apartment with 2 full bathrooms. You can stay here as a couple or invite some friends to share the space as we have a very comfortable pull out sofa.. This place is great for couples, families, friends and business travelers. Pelican is a quiet neighborhood just around the corner of all action you might be looking for. Super close to casinos, restaurants and for instance the Red Piano. Of course the beach is at minutes walking distance too. There are so many things to do in less than a 5 minute walk or drive. Of course you can rent a car (smallest are at about 25/35$ a day) as there are so many places to visit at both sides of the island. Numerous bars, restaurants, supermarkets, activities, marinas with ferries to other islands are close to home. There are shops, spa's, a golf course, marinas with ferries to other islands, water sports and a movie theater. The capitols Philipsburg on the Dutch side and Marigot on the French side offer duty free shopping and local markets. Visit Pinel Island for a great day on the beach or go to Grand Case for a French dining experience. One of the things St Maarten is famous for is the sight of the planes landing on Juliana airport. Just past the airport you will find the famous Sunset Beach Bar and Driftwood bar where the planes practically land on your head. Sint Maarten is experiencing issues with the electricity company. The outages vary and are not always predictable. We have battery operated fans and lights for when this occur. We would like to inform our guests in advance.
