If you really want a first floor unit I would not recommend the French side where everything is quiet and vulnerable (with the exception of the Alamanda resort on Orient or the Grand Case Beach Club). Stay in the bright lights on the Dutch side and take cabs to Orient and Grand Case for very memorable experiences. If you can move up one floor there are many, many rentals on the French side.
I must disagree. French side while quiet in some parts, is not all vulnerable, If I'm not mistaken last time I checked stats there was less crime on French side than the Dutch.
As well as GCBC there's Love Hotel Grand Case, Lot's of places that list on VBRO.com Nettle Bay Beach Club with little houses walk out onto sand. Le Domaine Anse Marcel, La Samana on Baie Longue. Sol e Luna has gorgeous rooms (see web site) just to name a few .
