La Provencale, Terres Basses, St. Martin Vacation Rental

 

Enjoy Caribbean living at its finest at La Provencale, an expansive, luxury hillside villa sprawling over two levels, with commanding sunset views of Long Bay, Plum Bay, and the Caribbean Sea beyond. Having recently undergone a major renovation, including a redesigned pool, an expanded al fresco gallery, the addition of a second sun deck, and new furnishings and décor throughout, La Provencale offers many opportunities for relaxing or entertaining with grace. Four spacious bedrooms, all air-conditioned with private bathrooms en-suite, are complemented by an oversized, air-conditioned Great Room complete with a large plasma television and Bose DVD/CD system, a true chef's kitchen, two large sundecks, and a delightful gazebo for outdoor dining and relaxing. Lounge at one of the two in-pool tables, or activate the "endless pool" current generator and swim forever. Bring your iPod, hook it up to the villa's audio system, and enjoy your favorite music in the gazebo, around the pool, or on the lower sun deck. Grill succulent steaks and local seafood on the brand-new Viking gas outdoor BBQ. Stay connected with wireless broadband internet access throughout the property.

 

La Provencale is located 12 minutes from Marigot, 5 minutes to the nearest grocery store, and 3 minutes to the beach.

 

ABOUT ST. MARTIN/ST. MAARTEN:

St. Martin (the French side) is known for its beautiful beaches, clothing stores, shopping, and rich French and Caribbean cuisine.  The official language is French, but English is commonly spoken.  The Dutch side (St. Maarten) is known for its festive nightlife, casinos, and jewelry stores.  The official language is Dutch and English.  This all adds up to a tale of two nations that offer the best of both worlds ... activity and leisure.
  
Terres Basses (French for Lowlands) is located at the westernmost end of the island beyond the Simpson Bay Lagoon. It is home to some of the most exclusive villas on the island and features two of St. Martin's prettiest beaches at Plum Bay, Baie Rouge, and Long Bay.
  
The capital city of Marigot is perhaps the most French in spirit of all the cities in the Caribbean. Colonial houses stand beside smart cafes and bistros, pastry shops and luxury boutiques, and in many ways it looks just like any of the French market towns you might expect to find on the Continent. Visitors can enjoy a newly built shopping center at the foot of Fort St. Louis, with luxurious boutiques. At the southern end of town down by the harbor is the Marina Port la Royale, elegant stores with the latest in European designer fashions and fine jewelry, all free of tax. The official currency on the French side is the euro.  However, every store on the island also accepts the United States dollar. The entire city is only four streets wide, so it is very easy to get around.
  
St. Maarten’s (the Dutch side) Princess Juliana International Airport (SXM) is served by Air Caraibes, Air France, American Airlines, Air Transat, BWIA, Continental, Corsair, Delta, Dutch Caribbean, Jet Blue, KLM, Liat, United Airline, and US Airway.  There is also a small airport on the French side (St. Martin) of the island at Grand Case, Lâ Esperance Airport, for small jet and propeller planes serving neighboring Caribbean islands.
