Gotaluvit got it right! The Orient Village area is a fantastic venue with super beaches, great restaurants and some of the nicest and most interesting places to stay. For more than a dozen years we have been renting villas on the hills above Orient and have enjoyed the peace and solitude that we love while on vacation. No noisy traffic or congested roads. One thing about Mt. Vernon, if you have trouble getting around or have any physical problems at all, you may want to pass on staying in this community. Hills are a real killer and the parking can be terrible. We stayed on the Dutch side twice and found the noise and traffic too much hassle for a quiet vacation.
