Not sure what you mean exactly by 'central Orient area', but you might check out Bruno's Villa Margot or O Paradis . If you mean, in the central village area, this doesn't fit, as it is roughly above where LaPlantation is, up the hill above Orient. Otherwise, if it's available for when you want, it's a very good option. Jacuzzi at the villa, shared pool for the villa and the bungalows. Bruno and Geraldine are very accomodating hosts!

Many people here have stayed at Paradise Bungalows, including us, and enjoyed it very much. We toured the villa and it looked very nice and comfortable also.

Website paints a very nice picture. Here is our hesitation, most of our meals would be eaten outside the villa, that being the case, would these accommodations be overkill since you would be paying for a kitchen?

Well, if you look at the accomodations in the area, virtually all of them have a kitchen, AND Bruno's Bungalows are cheaper than most of the rest of the places in the area, so that is a non-issue, to me.

JGUN - If you have any questions about Sarabande or Mango, please send me a PM. I'll provide any knowledge I can. Wishing you a great trip. We have also stayed at Villa Coccinelle which is located between Sarabande and Mango, just up higher on the hill.

If none of the other recommendations fit your needs, try Bluefish from saintmartinrentals.com. We stayed there for two weeks this last February and it was great. Spotless, all the stuff you need. Living room window/patio looks out over Kon Tiki. There is a back gate you have access to so you can just walk to the beach in a couple of minutes. King BR with full bathroom downstairs, king BR up, 3rd BR up with two twins, full bath up. Dishwasher, plus washer/dryer combo. Only caveat it is on the second and third floors.

JGunn, Sunrise is my favorite villa in Orient. Great location, superb views, and well designed. FYI, while it is not required I do recommend a 4x4 due to the steep approach. A regular car is fine but if it rains with the occasional passing shower, I would anticipate it could be slippery. The villa is available from February 1st until the 12th then from February 20th until March 1st. The weekly rates can be found here: http://stmartinblue.com/villa-sunriseSame rates for 2016 apply as high season 2015. You would be locked in to those rates before the anticipated hike this summer. As a TTOL member we can include a free rental car that is delivered to the villa. (Hyundai I10 excluding gas, tax & insurance- upgrades are available for additional charge). Airport pickup, welcome provisioning, orientation and a personal concierge is included as well. Let me know if I could be of any further assistance. Rob
