Hope Cottage is hidden away at the top of the hill in Oyster Pond on the Dutch side of St. Maarten. Architect designed just for the owner and his wife, this neat little villa and its lush gardens is the perfect vacation getaway for any couple and is ideal for a honeymoon or a holiday with a special friend. The views of the Atlantic Ocean and the surrounding islands are spectacular. Gentle breezes off the ocean keep you cool while sunning yourself at the lovely pool. You also are only a short distance from some of the best beaches on the east end of the island. Hope cottage is located near the French border just a few minutes from 4 good restaurants and is only 25 minutes to Grand Case, the gastronomic center of the French side and home to some fine supermarkets. You are also only 15 minutes to Philipsburg, the Dutch side capital, with all the casinos, restaurants and great shopping that is available for that perfect vacation.
