Popular Beachfront Condo directly on Simpson Bay beach in St. Maarten

Beautifully decorated 2-bedroom, 2.5 bath villa is in a well-designed, cozy, gated private community with 24/7 surveillance. Security guard from 10pm to 6am. Barefoot is one of the prime locations on the beach. Next to the pool and facing the beach, that is a few steps away from your front door, with island gardens and views beyond.
Currently load shedding is going on until end of September 2024. Usually between 2pm- 5pm.


This condo feels like it is on its own separate island directly on the beach with a pristine view of the crystal blue waters that offers a gentle glide as you enter the water, for ease, relaxation and nature at its finest.

Living area is open and comfortable with lounging chairs that invite you to relax/ look out at the ocean and enjoy your evenings, with a nice cocktail or drink.

Sylvia or Daryl will be your host for any questions you may have once you arrive into SXM, staying at one of the best condo's on the beach.

Amazing view
Once you walk onto the property, the view of Simpson Bay tells you you made the right pick! Sylvia's instructions made it very easy to get your self settled and start your relaxing vacation. The condo is perfect with all you could need for a beach vacation. We spent alot of time on the beautiful beach a few steps out the door and getting to know the island. Was a great vacation!

Another Great Experience
This was probably our 8th stay at Barefoot and our 9th at Palm Beach Condos and if we could have booked for next year we already would have but it's completely booked for next year already! And no wonder, it's the perfect location Simpson Bay, and a fantastic beach front indoor-outdoor living experience. The unit is well equipped, well maintained, updated and clean.

Breathtaking Sunsets!
What a beautiful spot!! The condo was everything that Sylvia promised and more. It was clean, spacious, beautifully decorated, pleasantly stocked with spices, coffee and even a bottle of wine. Sylvia provided so much information regarding restaurants, attractions and she was incredibly prompt with her messages to any questions. I loved the beach access, patio with beach views, private sitting area and pool just around the corner. This place was just wonderful :)

Paradise living
Sylvia did an outstanding job on hosting us in SXM. She connected with us weeks prior, gave us ideas and recommendations on where to go and what to see. She has a property that is gorgeous, overlooking the blue ocean waters and her accommodations were second to none. Sylvia checked on us frequently to make sure if there was anything that needed her attention. All in all, this won’t be our last time visiting the friendly SXM island as we will definitely be back and hoping Sylvia will be our host. Highly HIGHLY recommend.

Ocean front family vacation
Beautiful stay! Sylvia & Daryle were responsive and very friendly. Sunsets amazing! Very comfortable and kitchen is stocked with so many spices. We ate dinner out everynight but had breakfast & lunch there. They have everything you need and if they don't, i'm sure they would get it. We had a small problem and they were at the condo ASAP. We will definately love to come back!

The condo could not have been more perfect! We had an issue unrelated to the unit but Sylvia was wonderful to help us work through it. Beaches were great and the food was good everywhere we went. Two favorites were the Lazy Lizzard in Phillipsburg and Dinghy Dock right by the condo.

The condo is conveniently located in Simpson bay with a beautiful beachfront setting and steps from a spacious pool. Quiet setting with a semi private porch overlooking Simpson Bay. The condo is nicely decorated and well furnished with all the kitchen amenities you need. Our host Sylvia made our stay seamless with an attentive greeting and prompt to respond to any questions or concerns. I highly recommend this beautiful condo.

Exceeded all expectations! Awesome place
I can’t say enough about Barefoot and Sylvia. I have come to St Maarten for 30+ years with my husband and family and have stayed in different places on the island and Barefoot is at the top. This was a special birthday trip with girl friends and I wanted a special place where we could step out in the morning and have coffee watching the waves, have a shady place to read and nap right on the beach without big crowds, feel safe and get to my favorite places easily. Barefoot was that and more. Sylvia had a birthday cake waiting when we arrived. We had massages on the veranda and it felt private,we had the pool pretty much to ourselves and loved the shower after coming off the beach. I recommend it highly right down to the car rental place she recommended. Sylvia pays attention to all of the details. Can’t beat it!

Paradise! Pictures Does It No Justice!
Where do I start with this review?! Too much to say about Barefoot Palm Beach Condo and the host, Mrs. Sylvia! From the start of my inquiry nearly 2 months before arrival, Mrs. Sylvia was extremely prompt in her responses. This was a special surprise birthday trip for my wife and she made it extra special and went more than above and beyond any host we have encountered before now! Once we arrived she made herself available to meet us as we arrived late evening, unusual for any host we have had with previous VRBO stays. Listen! If you are thinking about booking this immaculate condo, think no longer just do yourself the favor and book it NOW!! As many others have said, the pictures on the listing honestly does no justice for the in-person beauty of Barefoot and its' incomparable location in Simpson Bay! Every detail thought of within from the decor to all the amenities. The bedrooms and bathrooms are perfect. She has literally thought of every amenity for her guests. The condo is well stocked with everything you would have in your own home, to include strong Wi-Fi signal and 2 big screen TVs with plenty of available channels to watch. The location is to die for! Conveniently located in Simpson Bay minutes from the airport and just far enough away from the hustle and bustle, but close enough when you want to explore the area. We thought that we would hear the planes landing/taking off all day/night but that was not the case at all! It is extremely quiet and relaxing and the planes we did hear wasn't a nuiasance. The beach is literally a step out the gate and your feet are in the sand! The view of the beautiful turquoise water and the many yachts from the beach, the porch, or even the big bay windows from inside the condo was one of the highlights of our stay! The wrap around porch overlooking the beach is as serene as it gets! Plenty of outdoor seating and a whole storage box of beach chairs and an umbrella for your use. The grounds around the condo are immaculate and well manicured; the pool is inviting as well. There are also two beach restaurants within walking distance from the beach @ Barefoot. Overall, there are really not enough words to describe our stay @ Barefoot. It was magical to say the least. We have forever memories as a result of our stay, and Im sure you will too!! Thank you Mrs. Sylvia.

Absolutely Wonderful!
Our stay in Sint Maarten was absolutely perfect! Our condo (which felt more like a house - inside and out) had everything you could possibly need for vacation. There were several beach towels, sunscreen, beach chairs, pool noodles, snorkeling gear, binoculars, info on local attractions, and everything you could imagine in kitchen. This is been the best stocked rental we have stayed in and the level of comfort the host provided while we were there was top notch. In addition to the rental property itself, there is also a well manicured lawn and pool area to enjoy. Directly in front of your condo is a beautiful sandy beach with gorgeous turquoise. The condo complex is surrounded by a security gate and has a nightly security guard to offer an added bit of peace of mind. The condo is situated about blocks from a main strip that offers restaurants, grocery stores, bakeries, etc. We felt completely safe walking the area through the day, as people are so very friendly on the island (but as always... use good judgement & pay attention to your surroundings). An all around kiddos to our host!

Our second stay at this beautiful property. It was as amazing as our first. Beautiful condo facing the beach with a little bit of private beach right in front. (We’ve nicknamed it Barefoot Beach!). Owners and property managers are so easy to work with and very accommodating. Right in the heart of restaurants and nightlife and a nice quiet beach. Cannot recommend this property highly enough.
