Just to clarify, Cupecoy is on the Dutch side; your original question mentioned a villa on the French side? Still, if you're looking for close proximity to the nightlife, Dutch side is definitely better. You can always travel to the French side beaches easily during the day, and the beach at Cupecoy is clothing optional. You might want to look into Porto Cupecoy; there's another thread here that has some links to rental information there. It's a beautiful place and conveniently located.
