Joecool.... we stayed in the villa Etoile de Mer at Shore Pointe a few years ago... we found it to be an extremely satisfying choice.... we liked the villa itself, the view of Cupecoy Beach and the closeness to so many things... the one thing that we did not like were the stairs coming in and going up to 3 of the bedrooms... the entrance stairs was no problem, as we just came in and out by the caretaker's entrance... typically, we have stayed in villas in Terres Basses, but I wanted to stay in these units one time... this particular unit is right on the beach and has a walkthrough gate (locked unless requested to unlock) that is right beside it that goes directly to Cupecoy Beach... If the sand is there and Dany is cooking, this cannot be beat. Fields of Ambrosia was also mentioned... spectacular view and enjoyable stay for us years back... I think there has been some updating on this one, but it is not fully a/c.. we only stayed the one time, but it was one of our first villas and one of our favorites... if a villa fits, they are hard to beat... I know nothing about current conditions of any properties.. We have rented 9 different villas from Carimo over the years and would use them again if available. Have only talked in general with them since the storm... If health improves, we hope to someday make our 35+- trip to SXM... Don't hesitate to contact if I can answer any questions that might assist.
