Our Dream Beachfront Getaway!
Staying at The Great Escape was everything we’d hoped for and more! This penthouse condo is perfectly situated right on Simpson Bay, offering breathtaking ocean views and the most incredible beachfront access. Waking up to the sound of the waves each morning felt like a dream!
The condo itself is spacious, clean, and beautifully decorated. The bedrooms were comfortable and quiet, providing everyone in our group with privacy and relaxation. The balcony quickly became our favorite hangout, perfect for morning coffee and unwinding with a sunset cocktail.
We loved having direct access to the beach, where we spent countless hours lounging and swimming, and the pool was also a treat. Plus, being just minutes away from fantastic restaurants, shops, and nightlife made exploring Simpson Bay a breeze.
The host was friendly, helpful, and quick to respond whenever we had questions or needed recommendations.
This truly was a Great Escape, and we can’t wait to return to this slice of paradise! Highly recommend this penthouse for anyone looking for an unforgettable beachfront stay in St. Maarten.
