Simpson Bay Apartment | Top of the art penthouse on the beach - 4000 sq. ft of luxury

3 Bedroom Apartment in Simpson Bay

Le Papillon Penthouse enjoys one of the best locations on St. Martin, with many wonderful restaurants nearby and a beach that is close to private and ideal for long walks.
The building itself was finished in 2014 after a few years of planning. It was designed and built by a doctor who owned the property. The building is so well made that even with hurricane Irma we had minimal damage.
Simpson Bay Area is a great place. It is a nice combination of tourism and local culture. It used to be a fisherman's village and it still holds some of that charm. It is easy to walk to restaurants and shops so people do not need to rent a car to go to places. But when you are in the apartment or on the beach you are completely away from any outside world.
Overlooking the entire Simpson Bay beach, the comfortable 4000 sq. feet penthouse is equipped with everything a visitor might need. The long list of our luxurious amenities is shown below.

Summary: Absolutely loved my stay at this VRBO vacation home! The property is absolutely beautiful and in a fantastic location — everything was so convenient yet peaceful. The home was spotless and had everything you could possibly need to feel completely at home, making the stay super comfortable. Communication with the host was a breeze; they were quick to respond and incredibly helpful. The parking was easy and hassle-free, which made coming and going stress-free. Plus, the view from the home was stunning — truly the perfect backdrop for a relaxing getaway. I can’t recommend this place enough and would happily stay here again!
