We have never found the airport noise to be intrusive; however we've not stayed at Mary's Boon so I'm not sure how soundproof the rooms are. The airport isn't open late so there should be little noise to disrupt your sleep. However, some have complained about the loud music in that area in the evenings.
We stay at Beachside Villas further down the beach toward the arrival end of airport west of Mary's Boon and have not been bother by airport noise. In fact it's fun to watch planes land. Children especially enjoy it.
Many hotels in Simpson Bay and Maho area are subject to planes so unless you stay in Phillipsburg or Orient Beach you won't get away from planes. Even on the French side in Grand Case there are planes that fly right over the hotels and villas.

I'm having a really hard time figuring out where this is. Never heard of the property before. Personally, we have never thought the airport noise was intrusive at all, enjoyed watching the planes. IF it is right next to HighBar, I would be a lot more worried about noise from the BAR than from airplanes. There are no large airplanes landing after about 6 pm, or before 9 AM. From what I understand, High Bar is supposed to be open WAY late at night, playing probably techno music.

Described as walkable to Maho Beach so that would eliminate the Kim Sha Area...and...the beach pics confirms that ..VRBO map is kinda more specific...
That's not near Highbar on Welfare Road. I'm confused. So from what you know Boucharda, is he going to be on the same beach as Mary's Boon and able to walk right out to swim or not?

Look at the pics..waaaay too rocky..not on Simpson Bay Beach BUT is on Simpson Bay. From the VRBO site "Mary's Beach Villa is a newly built 4 bedroom property, located directly on Burgeaux Bay Beach." ok got it. I guess the qstn about plane noise confused me. I though it was near runway end not Burgeaux Bay which IS rocky.

Burgeaux Bay Beach is on the other side of Beacon Hill from Simpson Bay Beach. Very rocky.

You know, I wonder, based on it being on Burgeaux Bay, whether this is the property that used to belong to Andrea Kaspar?

I thought Topper bought that and was going to build some apartments? Burgeaux Bay was the location of their property and it was a somewhat rocky beach area.

JD--That was what I had heard, that he was going to build some condos or something, but he got sued because the area had land restrictions that it was for single family residential use only. Just curious with regard to that, as there's not many properties on Burgeaux Bay.
In the esoteric, I don't care for the looks of the place, but that's probably just me. Small, bland, etc. Way too much money per week for what it is. Looked to be about $8K per week. Not sure where the one person said $21K per week?

Just a swag but ‘blocked’ could well mean not allowed due to preexisting deed restrictions or possible zoning restrictions though they probably wouldn’t apply to certain individuals.

Pat--IF the property is the one that used to belong to Andrea, I understood there were deed restrictions there on that property, which is why Topper wasn't going to be able to build condos. Silly me, I thought that meant that a person could still build a single family house, but use it as a rental property. Hopefully Lesley will chime back in.

Lesley--just to be clear, are you saying that the owner should not be able to rent out this property?

Boucharda--yes, I know it is a new property. IF it is the place I am thinking about, Topper bought it and planned to build townhouses there, and either he or someone else demolished the buildings that were there. I have no idea if he still owns it or not.

Maybe I am off base on this but if the property is owned by a private party why can't that party rent it out as needed. It does not become "commercial" like a bar etc. It's still a private residence up for interval rentals...
I should add that I really don't think the OP thought this would go as far as it did....a simple question asked spurned some interesting responses...37 of them

boucharda--I don't know, doesn't make sense to me either. That's why I asked Lesley to expound further. Agreed, the OP got a lot more than they bargained for!!
Family Traveller--to ME, regardless, they want entirely too much rent for this property. The rooms are small, the decor is kind of meh, the beach is rocky, etc. In my opinion, there are much better places for rent for less money, depending on how many bedrooms you actually need. I guess the primary pull of the place is that it is directly on the beach, and I get that. Not to make a stupid suggestion, but you can't get a better location on a beach than Beachside Villas. Admittedly, not a private villa and you wouldn't have your own private pool, but the beach is one of the very best on all of ST. Maarten/St. Martin.
