Good Luck on your home and possessions. Timeshare owners like us only have a limited stake as far as property and possessions on Sint Maarten, but we consider it our second home during the Winter for two weeks. We have been returning since 1984. We did return in February after Luis in 1997, and one of our units was unusable. It was later repaired, but the rest of SXM was still recovering. We felt good to help the economy there by using the available services - auto rental, restaurants, general shopping. Are anxiously waiting to see if we can return in Feb of 2018.
