Here is a map of Mont Vernon. http://www.st-maarten-vacation.com/media/560775/mont-vernon-residence-st-martin-map.jpgI think we stayed in the St John building and the view was decent. It would have been better if we were on a higher floor. I have heard people say the hike up to some of the buildings is steep. Ask the owner if any of the photos on their site is your actual view. We didn't hang out at the pool so don't know about the topless situation. There were very few, if any people on the beach so your wife should feel comfortable going topless on the beach and it is perfectly acceptable to do so.

Parking has always been a problem there. That is the main reason we do not even consider staying there any more. If you do not venture out at night, you might find a parking spot before 6:00 P.M. Otherwise the local people that live there come home from work and many have two cars so it is hard to find a spot. One night we had to park on the road close to Sol e Luna and walk back to the condo.

We've never stayed there ourselves, but I suspect, like anything else, ease of parking would depend on the season. Off season, no problem parking, during high season, possibly a problem.

We just got back from a 2 week stay at Mount Vernon. Our studio was in the Antigua building, 3rd floor, great view. Here is a photo taken from our balcony. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Ah01d...2/IMAG00446.jpgThe seaweed you see in the photo was typical for the entire time we were there. They raked the beach with a tractor or by hand occasionally so there was always some clean sand between the pool and waters edge. However, very few people used the beach. There was no odor from the seaweed. Some condo owners have access to reserved parking spots but most parking is first come, first served in lots with undesignated spots. We were offered a reserved spot for an additional fee but chose to take our chances. We managed to find parking in the upper lot nearest to our unit most of the time but we did have to use the lower lot a few times. This may not be the case during high season.
