Our very first trip to "Our" island we stayed at a very remote resort near "Phburg". Although it was nice, we needed a car to get around. The other thing that bothered me a lot was the over crowded beach and over crowded onsite bars. "IF" you stay in Philipsburg, you're going to find lounging side by side with other vacationers!! Are we going to St. Martin for shopping or the most beautiful beaches in the world??? We have been staying out of 20 plus years every year for the last 11 years (except 2017-Irma) at Beachside villa's where you will want for nothing on Simpson Bay beach. You open your balcony doors and you are on your own slice of heaven!!! Did I mention the beautiful pool with lounge chairs and gazebo??? You can rent a car, but there is dinning and shopping on foot to Maho where the famous "PJIA" airport runway ! Where you can watch the planes (major carriers land 11:00 to 1400hours) take off and land! It's a real happening!! We all have our "guy" to rent a car from, for us SAX rental has great service with new fleet of all sizes to fit your family needs!
Have a great time!!! Bring lots of high number sunscreens!!!
