Lune de Miel Villa, St. Martin villa review
The villa was just as advertised. No surprises. We are very active and adventurous, which typically means that we are on the move in the morning looking for the next beach, hike or local attraction. For the first time that we can remember from any of our many trips, we spent one entire day at Luna de Miel just lounging, listening to music and hanging by the pool. The view is beautiful and we actually stayed at the house for sunset one evening. That says a lot, as sunrises and sunsets are our thing and are always on the lookout for the special view.
We have stayed in this neighborhood at other villas, this is likely our favorite. The location is convenient to great beaches, the market is 5 minutes away and even though we never go to the Dutch side (there is Kentucky Fried Chicken at home) the airport is very close, allowing for maximizing checkout day.
This is our 3rd time working w/Betsy & Lori. It will be a no brainer to call them again…every detail is always covered. Can’t say enough about their professionalism and knowledge of St Martin

My experience with Betsy was excellent. She took care of the planning and everything went smoothly. We had a problem with the sewer line, but they came quickly and corrected it. I’ve used Betsy before and will continue to use her in the future.
My experience with Betsy was excellent.

Beautiful and relaxing
Lune de Miel Villa, St. Martin villa review
The Lune de Miel Villa is wonderful. The bedrooms and baths are spacious and comfortable, with amenities provided. The kitchen is equipped with everything you might want or need and the welcome basket greeting us was greatly appreciated. It isn’t far to access dining, groceries, or a variety of beaches. But you might not want to leave the yard with dining and lounging areas, a grill, and beautiful landscaping. Yet all this pales beside the ocean view and pool! The hosts provided a wealth of information regarding dining, shopping, and activities on the island. Highly recommend!!
They were so very helpful and proactive about logistics and info. They made everything operate perfectly smoothly.

Perfect for a small family or 2 couples
Lune de Miel Villa, St. Martin villa review
This was our second time renting with Betsy at Wheretostay.com and our second time on St. Martin. We had such a great trip the previous summer that we knew we wanted to return. We booked very last minute this time, but Betsy was wonderful to work with (again??) and guided us to this adorable villa. Just my husband, our teenage daughter and myself for a spring break trip at Easter.
Our flight was delayed, but we were still greeted with a car and driver when we made it through customs and the airport (current renovations to the airport made the process a bit slower than the last time we visited). We arrived at the house and were nervous as our rental car was there, but the keys were not. However, after settling in, enjoying a complimentary beverage left for us in the fridge, a representative from the rental car company arrived with our keys and we were set to enjoy our home away from home for the week.
The villa is set up with the bedrooms on opposite ends of the house, perfect for a teenage daughter who wants her space or if you were to go with two sets of couples. The beds were comfortable and large. I wish there were more pillows for sleeping, but we made do and slept great. The shutters allowed us to sleep in even with the sun rising early in the morning.
The kitchen is open air, so be prepared to sweat a bit if you want to cook. It wasn’t a problem for us though as we rarely ate more than breakfast at home. Too many great restaurants to enjoy!
The pool and the view are the reason this villa is worth the price tag. No, you’re not on the ocean, but seeing it in the distance as the sun sets while enjoying a glass of wine/cocktail, is pretty spectacular. And the pool is the perfect spot to take a break from the beach or enjoy a night swim!
The closest beach is about a five minute drive. We loved going to Baie Longue. You can call ahead to La Samanna and request chairs with an umbrella. It’s a hefty rental fee, but worth the splurge!
We’d definitely recommend booking with Betsy and staying at Lune de Miel or any of their other rentals in Terres Basses.
Betsy is always a pleasure to work with and is quick to respond to any and all questions. She definitely puts my mind at ease that we’re making a good choice on our rentals. She hasn’t steered us wrong yet!

Cathy and I had a perfect time at the villa. Jean, Lori and all her colleagues do a great job of getting everything ready for a vacation, answering all questions, taking care of all preparations - having our rental car at the villa when we got there, having a driver pick us up at the airport… And of course - the villa. Beautiful, spotless, an amazing pool, remarkably quiet, peaceful and private. Everything was truly perfect.
Jean is the vacation queen.

Wonderful Luna de Miel
Lune de Miel Villa, St. Martin villa review
This was our first visit to St Maarten and we loved our stay on the island and particularly our villa, Luna de Miel. The villa was very well appointed and prepared by the onsite team and made our stay amazing. What we like the most was the layout of the villa…it is divided into two private bedrooms separated by an al fresco kitchen. As it was just us, we stayed only in one side of the villa, but if you had another couple, there would be plenty of space and privacy. The pool is large and very refreshing and we particularly enjoyed the massive covered space that protected you from the sun plus offered a nice view of the bay. My only suggestion would be to slightly trim some of the vegetation to allow a better view.
We have worked with Andrew and his team on multiple occasions, and I don’t think you could find a more professional and knowledgeable team to help you select your villa and make sure all the rental details are covered. They take such good care of you from the time you touch down to departure.
A couple of suggestions…make sure you bring the correct power adapter and conversion plugs as most of the villa is 220 with some weird plug that didn’t seem to work with our conversion kit that included traditional European plugs. Adapters can be found at the conveniently located Carrafour Express in Cupecoy.
Also, suggest you get some guidance and suggestions from Andrew and team on how to best handle the crowded airport.
All in all a great trip—thanks team
As noted above, the WhereToStay team is wonderful to work with and they make sure all the preparation and details are covered. Even if you have a travel hiccup, they coordinate with everyone and make sure everything flows smoothly.

What An amazing villa
Lune de Miel Villa, St. Martin villa review
I’ll start by saying that I was so pleased by the planning process prior to our trip. Betsy and the where to stay team made things so easy. When we arrived to our villa, we are so excited to see how gorgeous it was. Perfect our group of 4. Spacious, yet intimate. Our staff was also amazing. We didn’t need to think about much. I’ll definitely be using where to start for future travel. Thank you!
Betsy was so amazing. She answered any question I had in a timely fashion and stayed on top of getting us all the details we needed. It’s a pain traveling during Covid but she definitely made it alot easier

The views were amazing, and the privacy was perfect.

Lune de Miel Villa, St. Martin villa review
This was a fabulous villa. I had a wonderful stay. It would very difficult to find fault with any aspect of this superb setting and designed villa for a couple.
Sadly, there was construction next door. Once we remained in the Villa during the day, the noise and reduced privacy was not good.
