Grand Case Hotel Guide - Happy Bay Beach hotels in Grand Case, Saint Martin.

"This is a fantastic location. The beach is your backyard!The property is exactly as pictured on VRBO website with no AI touch-up. Cofa (our local contact) was delightful to work with. Next time we are in Saint Martin we'll make sure to schedule a little longer so we can extend our stay here. We highly recommend this property."

"Where do we even begin. The home was gorgeous and very well appointed with a fantastic view overlooking the ocean. Lots of nice retractable awnings for shade as well. Julia was a great host. Very responsive and accommodating to all of our needs. The turtles she has in the yard were a big highlight for us. Watching them eat and roam everyday was so fun to watch. She has many of them big and small. The beach is about ten minutes walk from the house to get to friars bay and then another 8 minutes over the mountain to happy bay( worth the walk). Happy bay is the nicest beach we saw by far all over the island. Very serene and quiet and untouched almost by tourism which was refreshing to see. The pool at the villa was great and so refreshing to hop into after long days at the beach. I would 1000% percent stay here again and highly recommend to my friends. Great vacation all around and we are so happy we chose to stay on friars beach vs other more popular beaches. Less hustle and bustle. Thank you Julia for the fantastic stay. You are an amazing hostess! "

"The apartment was clean, and in an amazing location "

"Beautiful apartment with wonderful views from all rooms including large terraces overlooking the beach."

"The ratings and reviews are a bit misleading. The hotel is a cute, friendly but very basic hotel in a truly excellent location. You are mainly paying for the location, maybe overpaying. Grand Case is a terrific area for wonderful restaurants and bars, and the beach is very nice. And there are lots of nice little shops. The hotel itself however: it is small only 8 rooms; Most of the rooms open directly to reception or the restaurant and we could hear every conversation at reception through our door; Our room was quite musty smelling--This is common in the tropics and we can live with it, But it is not pleasant; There is no place to hang a hand towel; No place to hang bath towels except maybe the same hook as the robes; the sink mirror is weirdly high so my wife could only see about half of her face (5'4"); The view and balcony were terrific; there is no drinking water except for a fee; Same with coffee; There is no refrigerator. We only ate breakfast in the restaurant. It was very good. But the whole area is known for the variety of restaurants so the restaurant did not win out over other options. I should mention that the beach staff were attentive and we enjoyed the loungers. We would stay again, but not before examining other options since the value was pretty poor."

"Clean, modern, tastefully renovated, comfortable, spacious apartment, with two large and separate bedrooms. Well stocked with kitchen utensils, beach towels, Wi-Fi, and streaming apps. Great location near the beach and restaurants. (Tip: find the fine beach at Happy Bay.)The problem: the host, Henri, was unresponsive. He manages many apartments and pays little attention to this one. Don't expect entry instructions until the last minute, or answers to questions. There was no hot water when we arrived. We reached the supposed caretaker, confusingly named Henry, who said he had quit because of disagreements with Henri. Fortunately, Henry (ex-caretaker) did diagnose the hot-water problem over the phone (circuit breaker switched off), so we fixed that issue quickly. And, and after we complained, Henri (host) did bring soap and shampoo, which were missing when we arrived. We're just lucky no other problems arose."
