This newly renovated villa, Rising Star, is a 4 bedroom, 4 1/2 bathroom home located in the gated community of Tamarind Hill Estates on the Dutch side of St. Maarten near the French/Dutch border.  The villa offers great views of the ocean and the neighboring island of St. Barths.

The villa is set on one level, offering contemporary furnishings.  The indoor living areas are spacious, bright and crisp with high ceilings.  There is a flat screen television with cable TV, DVD player, stereo system with CD player and iPod dock.  The villa offers complimentary wifi access as well.  The indoor dining area has seating for 8 persons.

Large sliding doors are throughout the villa to showcase the great views, and they open onto the terrace and pool area.  The pool area is furnished with comfortable lounge chairs for guests to sunbathe, and there is also an outdoor dining area for 8 persons.  This is truly a wonderful place to relax, sunbathe, sip on a cocktail, and enjoy island life.

Each of the four bedrooms offers ocean views and en-suite bathrooms. Each bedroom has a premium king or queen bed. In addition, there is a 1/2 bath outside on the terrace by the pool area, plus an outdoor shower.
