Neither MB or Horny Toad are very walkable at NIGHT to places to eat, etc. Agree with Islandgem's list of places, as being more walkable at night to various places.

Turquoise Shell Inn is a simple walk out the gate and about 10 steps across a small road to Simpson Bay Beach. They do have beach chairs available for guests.
Next SXM visit -November 2023. Also January 2024.

Turquoise Shell Inn is at the opposite end of Simpson Bay Beach from Karakters. T Shell is closer to the McDonald's and the boat entrance to Simpson Bay Lagoon. I usually walk to Karakters when walking the beach.

Sing, Go to WIOL.com. put in your date. There are a few places near the airport that will take a one night reservation (Mary's Boon, Sapphire) but not for long. As the high season approaches, they will all require a 2 night minimum. We have used WIOL often without any problems.

I don't think there's anything else in the area that's quite like BSV (or as nice, either....) but there is the little boutique hotel next door - El Zafiro. I don't know what their rental policies are and I know nothing about their rates. I really like Mary's Boon and would consider it for a full week but in all honesty, if it were me, I think I'd either do BSV for six nights and call it a trip or I'd consider the place that could give me seven consecutive nights instead of packing everything up and moving for just one night. This is a pain in the butt and a waste of time, IMHO. We did it once because our flight was cancelled and in the end we gained maybe 2-3 actual beach hours so we might just as well have shortened the trip and saved the expense of the seventh night elsewhere. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />

The beach is lovely at Azure, but the units do not compare to Beachside Villas. You would be better to go with BSV and stay your last night at another location.

We use Turquoise Shell Inn(info@tshellinn.com)on just about every trip where we want an extra couple days. Walkable to many restaurants. Close to airport. Steps off Simpson Bay Beach. Carter is an excellent host.

It's a little down the beach, past Mary's Boon and not ON the beach, and does not have a view like at BSV..

Liberty Inn Is only doing long term rentals. We tried to book in the spring for summer and owner told my husband only long term rentals. Don't know what they consider long term but daily and weekly rentals are no more there
