Might suggest you check out Le Petit and L'Esplanade, sister resorts in Grand Case. Beautiful properties, expertly run.

There are many Oyster Bay Resort owners who have weeks available, mostly studio size for sale,, including me. You can check Jeff Berger's Newsletter for some additional rooms around the Island for rent.
Next SXM visit -November 2023. Also January 2024.

Never booked that rate, but I personally would HATE it, having the possibility of having to move during my stay. From your original note, you are only wanting 4-5 nights and having to move during that period would be awful, to me. By the way, why such a short stay? It's hardly long enough to de-stress?

I don't think that Esmeralda is open yet?? Did you try Le Petit or Esplanade?? Le Petit is on the beach, but doesn't have a pool. Esplanade has a pool, but not on the beach. Both are really quality places.

Do the rooms at Sol e Luna have a view of the water? I ask because I don't know, and the original poster wanted someplace either on the beach or a view of the water.

Regarding the condition of the villa, yes, a villa rental agency is a good idea for that concern. I might recommend St Martin Blue as a great villa rental agent. Any good villa agent should have inspected the villas they rep PERSONALLY, especially since Irma. Regarding security, many or most have a gate, some within a gated community and many or most have metal roll down shutters that you can close at night or when you leave, if you want. Those security questions, again, a good villa rental agent should be able to help you with.

Is your OBBR timeshare for sale or rent? Thanks!

From our experience Grand Case Beach Club meets everything you've mentioned restaurant jutting over water with view of Anguilla, Creole Rock, and two beaches, one at left of restaurant (no shade) and Grand Case Beach to the left which curves through the town.
Drinks on the beach in loungers with very thick comfortable cushions, waterfront units (but cannot walk directly onto sand from units) with more loungers on grass overlooking ocean, stairs and/or ramp onto sand. Garden units (lower rate) water view but walk across cobblestone area about 50 feet aprox.
Gourmet restaurant on property, breakfast included in room rate, lunch & dinner at your cost. Walking distance to other gourmet restaurants, small casual restaurants, outdoor Lolo's for BBQ overlooking water.
Look at GCBC website for photos. Alas rates start at $400 per night with 3 night minimum. And yes, there's a "room hopper rate" for less but personally, I wouldn't want to have to move once settled in. You could luck out and only move once as we did but that was on a one week stay and I wouldn't do it again for a small savings.

RonDon--please re-read their response. The 'room hopper rate' is the ONLY one that is available for when they want to travel and they don't want to do that.
Plus, now they are looking at villas...
