Luxury Villa w Spectacular Ocean Views, private pool/Hottub, Walk to Beach

Open air tropical living in this French style villa boasting expansive ocean views of dawn beach, tintamarre, st. barths and saba (225%) from all rooms. Villa Valhalla is just a short walk to Dawn Beach and the JW Marriott Resort where you can enjoy famous island cocktails and relax poolside. Our housekeeper, Catherine, is a treasure and will meet you upon arrival, cater to your every need and is available to cook a memorable Caribbean style meal at the house.
Valhalla is located on the quiet side of the island, in a gated community, on a beautiful hill overlooking the ocean and ensuring complete privacy. Our house is designed for pure relaxation. Enjoy your morning coffee with a freshly baked croissant from the local french bakery while relaxing on the shaded patio enjoying the views which just might include some frolicking humpback whales. Soak up the sun on our chaise lounges on the pool deck or soak your worries away in the Jacuzzi hottub. Valhalla turns magical in the evening with soft lighting around the outdoor dining area and pool as you overlook the beach and the lights of Oyster Pond. Cool oceans breezes make outdoor living comfortable. Large open floor plan includes living/dining room area with cathedral ceilings connecting to kitchen with ocean views. Pocket sliding glass doors that disappear into the wall create the feeling of living outdoors, allowing ocean breezes to sweep through the house as you move from inside the house to private deck and swimming pool area. The well equipped kitchen includes a 4 seat bar, pocket doors that open to patio, pool and direct beautiful ocean/beach views as you cook your meals. There is also a table area inside pool (plastic glasses only please!!) Large lawn provides additional sunning and recreation area.

The perfect vacation spot
Our family needed a location for rest and relaxation, with the ability to walk to the beach an easy access to the rest of the island for exploration. Villa Valhalla exceeded these expectations is all ways, with the sole exception of there not being a supermarket within walking distance - or a 5 minute drive. But nevertheless, all had a gratifying and relaxing week.

Extraordinary views
This villa was beautiful everything about this villa beat my expectations. The villa was even better than pictures . My family of 7 stayed here 11 days and we felt like we was at home the whole trip. Loved waking up every morning to the views of the ocean. Mrs. Daphne answered all my questions and was very helpful. Mrs. Catherine was wonderful. Great villa!

Beautiful Island Home
We loved staying on this property! The views are absolutely gorgeous. We were highly impressed that the kitchen had been updated from the pictures listed and was great for entertaining our large family. The back patio and pool were our favorite place to start and end the day, the breeze and view of the ocean were so relaxing. The beach you can walk to from the house was a nice beach with a little bar you can sit at. You could just hang at this beach for the week or if you like to explore, I recommend renting a car like we did and check out a different beach each day.

Dream Family Vacation
This estate is everything as described and even more than you can imagine. Pulling into Dawn Beach Estates and driving down to view the ocean is breathtaking. The views from every back window of the house are like a dream. We loved the entire house. Every guest was happy with their room and amenities. We used the pool and hot tub every day. The kitchen supplied us with anything we could have needed. Our quick trip over the back road to the bakery was exciting. The house is located central to everything on the island. Dawn Beach is beautiful and quiet and the walk is easy enough for the entire family. My only regret is that we didn’t stay longer. 7 days isn’t enough! Highly recommend this house for anyone looking to relax and explore St Martin!

Gorgeous views, wonderful family vacation
We just spent Christmas week at this fabulous home. Loved the pool and the views. Home was spotless, up to date and perfect for our family with adult children. Easy spaces to hang out in and just relax. Daphne was helpful before we arrived and Ken and Catherine answered any questions we had while there. We ventured to beautiful beaches on a few days but were content to stay at the house as well. Did lots of meal cooking at home with our group of 7 and it worked our quite well. Highly recommend this vacation home!

Girls vacation!!
The property is beautiful, views are stunning. Local restaurants are ample and wonderful. Bedrooms are cool and comfortable. The villa is stocked with many amenities. We did not take advantage of the staff for cooking or recommendations, but I feel they would have been helpful with both. The pool is deep and refreshing, however in December it is only half in the sun, perhaps other months are different. We rented a car, which has nothing to do with the house, but must mention-the roads are narrow and steep, factor this into your vechicle selection. Do not drive up or down the steep hills if they are wet. We loved our trip, as well as our stay, and hope to be back!!!

Valhalla Paradise
This home is amazing… beautiful view of Dawn Beach and Oyster Cove. It fit our family of 5 perfectly, plenty of room for everyone. The beds are a little firm but that didn’t bother us, we slept very well. We swam in the pool everyday, and in the evenings we enjoyed the hot tub while listening to the sound of the waves. Pierre and Catherine are lovely people, we enjoyed talking to them during our stay. Pierre made several recommendations, all were outstanding. We weren’t quite ready to leave; we easily could have stayed another week. There is so much to do on the island. Overall, we were very happy with this home, and will definitely be back soon.

Beautiful home in Paradise
This house is fantastic! Just spent a week there with my parents, my brother and my 2 adult children. We kept pinching ourselves as the views were amazing! Fabulous sunrises each morning and a gorgeous view throughout the day. The neighborhood was quiet and conveniently located halfway between Phillipsburg and the French side. Dapne was wonderful to work with, and the crew in St. Martin were great - the house is kept immaculate and they come and clean the pool every other day. Couldn't ask for anything more. A great way to celebrate my parent's 60th wedding anniversary.

Amazing property!
This stay was over a year in the making (thanks Covid) but it was well worth the wait! We have visited St Maarten a few times before but this was our first time staying in a private property and in the Dawn Beach area. Daphne and Catherine are both super helpful, easy to communicate with and we never had any problems getting in touch. The property itself is simply amazing...the views are incredible, the pool was wonderful, and the breeze coming off the ocean was refreshing! Honestly, Villa Valhalla was so wonderful we spent about 75% of our time on the deck, in the pool, or in the living room with the doors open, enjoying the breeze. It was perfect for our adult family vacation and we 1000% would love to come back again!

A picture-perfect location!
I could not have asked for a better place to stay in St. Maarten! The house was perfectly sized for our group (7 Adults), and we did not feel like we were on top of each other. The housekeeper, Catherine, is extremely friendly and helpful. She always made sure we knew when to expect her or the property manager around the house. My group did not only celebrate my birthday while there, but we always celebrated our friends getting engaged at the house. With the beautiful views of the deck and the lights from the town across the water. It was a picture-perfect moment.

Beautiful home, Stunning View!
We stayed at Villa Valhalla with our 3 teenage kids and another family of 4. The house was beautiful, clean, well stocked with stunning views! Plenty of room for us all. It’s located in a safe and quiet neighborhood overlooking Dawn Beach. Everything was as stated from the website, except the kitchen has been updated and looks great. We had excellent communication before and during the trip. We were able to walk to the beach, and had dinner at the new JW Marriott. It was nice to have a close option on a night we didn’t want to drive or cook. We have nothing but great things to say about everyone who helps care for the home, all so pleasant to talk to. They were very accommodating to us. We have stayed on the island before and did feel this was a nice location, split between the French and Dutch side so other than the airport, most restaurants and beaches we wanted to visit were no more than 20 minutes from us by car. We personally love renting a car to see the whole island on our vacations. We also love a nice, quiet spot to come back to each evening and thoroughly enjoyed our time at the house, using the pool and hot tub all week. You won’t be disappointed with this house, would definitely recommend!

Beautiful view!
My family and I spend 8 days at Villa Valhalla after Christmas. Daphne was so flexible - allowing us to alter our dates after we had some trouble with flights. She also made great recommendations for a New Years Eve event at Orient Beach. The villa is fantastic and the open doors and constant cool sea breezes made it idyllic. Highly recommend the lolos in Grand Case and Marigot, as well as Oasis Grill. Only hiccup to our trip was a pizza order to Mamas that never arrived on our first night 🙁 and some travel delays at SXM - which is just the way of the world right now with COVID protocols and crazy weather. Recommend getting a rental car as grocery stores and restaurants are generally 15-20 minutes away. But, the beach bar at the Westin is only a 7 minute walk. Would highly recommend Villa Valhalla to all!

Absolutely Perfect!
Valhalla is absolutely stunning! The views are incredible! We couldn’t ask for a more perfect experience from start to finish. Daphne was wonderful to work with and answered all our questions throughout the reservation process. Catherine is such a lovely person. She was always concerned that we had everything we needed. We had some great conversation with her. She is a gem! The home was exceptionally clean and well maintained. We cooked several evenings and the kitchen was well stocked with any utensils/dishware/cooking items necessary. There was even a very nice array of seasonings and spices available. We enjoyed the walking proximity to Dawn Beach ( about a 5-8 minute walk). You are on a hillside so the walk back gives a nice little workout! It’s a great location and easy to get to both sides of the Island. The pool, hot tub and beautiful deck made it difficult to want to leave the property! This was a great vacation for our family and we would highly recommend Valhalla to anyone looking for a private, comfortable, vacation getaway.

Amazing vacation home!
We did our best to get out and explore, but spent a-lot of quality time at the Villa as well. My Dad (turning 70 this year) and my 2 year old daughter enjoyed the pool at least once each day. We went to bread and butter for fresh croissants and pastries almost every morning as well, and my mother couldn’t get over how delicious the fresh baked goods were. This is listed in the house description, but we had a pretty scary experience driving down the steep hill during a short rain downpour so please heed that warning and take an alternate path or stop for a cup of coffee while the road dries! Check the tread on the rental car tires as well. The host responded very quickly to every question that we had. We were disappointed that the in home cooking experience wasn’t available anytime during our stay, but there is no shortage of great food across the island. We definitely recommend staying at Villa Valhalla if you are looking for a quiet and luxurious way to spend time with friends and family.

Graduation trip for our son
My husband and I took our son and three friends to celebrate his high school graduation. This house has THE best views! Daphne was easy to communicate with and very quick responding. Pierre lives just up the street and he was so helpful with things to do and where to go. The AC in one bedroom didn’t work the day we got there and by the next day it was replaced. Catherine is the sweetest and we paid Omar (pool and lawn guy) to drive our group downtown one evening. We had a nice steak dinner and hit the casino and Moon Bar. He stayed out late and brought us back safely. You definitely need to rent a car as most reviews say, the hills are no joke! We waited until we got there to unload luggage and then we headed to a grocery store. We never cooked meals, but the kitchen has everything you will need if you choose to. If you’re planning to go to a beach for the day I recommend Orient Beach. Daphne told us about it and she was right. It has all the activities, restaurants, shops, etc and it’s not a far drive. There are outdoor showers there as well. Ladies or men with long hair, I wouldn’t worry about dolling up too much because of the wind and humidity. Bring lightweight clothes! You will not need your fancy outfits except for maybe one evening out on the town. All bedrooms have AC but the main living area does not. We kept the windows/doors open so it’s a constant warm breeze. The pool and hottub are wonderful, especially at night. We will be back!
