Hey, look, I've traveled for the better part of six decades and this is what I've learned. 1. Get what YOU NEED and WANT when you travel. Which means, IF you want to go to St. Martin and spend 24 hours INSIDE YOUR HOTEL ROOM, want ROOM SERVICE because you like to stay inside EVERY WAKING HOUR, then spend $1000... More

If you are looking for a fancy hotel, then look elsewhere. If you are looking for an endless list of amenities, then look elsewhere. However, if you are looking for a decent place to stay that is convenient to one of the world's greatest beaches, this might be the place for you. The outside of the buildings are faded with... More

We just came back from a short trip to St Martin. We were suppose to stay a week but came home early. The safety of the drinking water concerned me as the electricity and water kept going off at the complex we stayed at. The American Air Lines flight from Miami was quick and efficient. The rental car company was... More

We just returned from 2 weeks staying at Mt. Vernon. We can attest that our Studio was immaculate, functional, a direct view to the ocean with a balcony. For persons that are in reasonably good health, and don't require "attention" one cannot go wrong with renting a unit. The exorbitant rates that places in Paradise command keep those hard working...

We found out about this condo at the site VRBO.com. Like many of the previous posts we also rented from Amaury and Thibault Meziere. First let me say that the brothers are very helpful, outgoing and responsive to your requests. They were very accessible by phone and email and always took the time to make sure that your every request... More

We rented a studio in the Mont Vernon for two weeks in April, and will definitely return as it suited our vacation needs. It was in a perfect location - a two minute walk to the beach, and with a wonderful ocean view. And while the kitchenette was a bit cramped, we were able to prepare simple meals which we... More

My wife and I rented an apartment over New Years week 2012. While the resort needs some repairs we found our apartment to be clean and in excellent condition. We had an outstanding view of all of Orient Beach and the lagoon. We had a secure wi-fi connection and experienced no problems. A car is a must. I highly recommend... More

As stated previously...this is not a hotel and has no services except for a pizzeria and laundramat on site. There is no room-service, lobby, nightly entertainment. You are basically renting a small apartment. We loved our experience at Mount Vernon as we had a great condo with a spectacular view. We rented from the brothers, Amaury and Thibault who own... More

After reading some of the reviews I was worried about our stay there. Once we arrived and saw our room and the views from the resort I was glad we chose it. Located at the quiet end of Orient beach it is in a perfect spot. If you want to lay out with very few people on the beach it... More
