WELCOME TO THE OCEAN BEACH PARADISE!
www.tropicalbeachparadise.
Sailing: Gorgeous anchorages are La Samana, Bay Rouge north end, Friars Bay, Happy Bay, the rocky island in Gran Case, Tintamare, Pinel. I will send some pictures.
Please consider also for the future a week staying in my villa with 1 or 2 sailing day trips together with me. You will enjoy the much bigger space of a house, a pool deck and beach right at the house.
A Grocery with liquor department is 50 mtrs from the northern end of the Dawn Beach.
Large food markets are in Philipsburg 5 miles drive. Special liquor stores are in Philipsburg in the Front Street.
There are a lot of different liquor bottles left from other guests in the bar of the living room.
One bakery is in French Oyster Pond. Another one in Orleans and one in Philipsburg. The food markets Fresh Market and Gran Marche have bakery departments.
Advantages of a beach villa: Everybody of your party can swim anytime in the Ocean at one of the best beaches in the CARIBBEAN. That is much more confortable than asking the others about using the car, driving to the beach, searching a free parking lot, changing wet clothes in the sand...........Beach chairs and umbrellas are for free.
And you have the best location of the island in my villa. Please divide the price difference by the number of persons and days and check if it's worth for your most important time of the year. You can have accomodations with pool all over the world. Why do you fly so far away to an islands with some of the best beaches in the Caribbean if you don't stay right at the beach?
The beach in front of the Ocean Beach Paradise property is almost privat for you. A part of the beach belongs to that property. There are only beach chairs from the Ocean Beach Paradise. Sometimes there are some people walking at on the beach near the water. Aproximately 0-10 per hour. The whole southern part of the Dawn Beach is not crowded.
To the Westin with restaurants and casino you can walk easy. To 2 restaurants Busby's Beach Bar and Bou Bou at the left side of the beach it's easier to use a car especially in the night as thre are some rocks between. There is another nice restaurant nearby at the other side of the Oyster Bay - Captain Oliver's - very short drive - hard to walk.
You can rent a Cellular phone from for US$50 for the week from the owner.
The number is +1 599 5260220. You can use it also for island calls or international calls.
You can forward your calls to that number. Prepaid cards are available form US$10.
You can rent for the same price also a WiFi phone for Skype from me with flat rate in 40 countries.
If you have a Skype account and a US Skype-In number than you can forward the
calls to the US Number and the WiFi phone will ring. You can use also your laptop for it. If you are offline with Skype
than you can forward Skype for about 0.20 US$/minute to the Cellular phone. You need a Skype out credit of at least $10 for it.

Where would you rather spend your vacation?
Hotel Room or Vacation Rental?
Most private vacation rental homes offer considerably more space than you will find in the typical hotel room often at a reduced cost. Now, families can vacation together and still have "room to breathe."
Private homes offer excellent flexibility. Unlike a typical hotel room, most private vacation rentals include kitchen facilities with one or more kitchens. You don't have to eat out for every meal (but of course you can if you want too!).
Vacation rental homes often contain many personal & convenience items that will increase the comfort of the guest.
Many vacation homes are used frequently by their owners and as such, they are not like the typical "sterile" environment found in hotels and other "vacation establishments".
No one gives a property more attention than its owner!
Homeowners are able to provide you with tips and hints that only the locals know.
Hotel stuff is often from other countries. This can make a huge difference in the enjoyment of your trip and saves you money and you can enjoy the most important time of your year better.
Renting a private vacation home offers the affordability, exceptional value, and personal attention that you deserve.
Hotels are asking for 25 % tax and service charge - for a villa is only a small tax.
In Hotels you have to pay for internet - in the CARIBBEAN BEACH PARADISE and OCEAN BEACH PARADISE it's free
You have to make sometimes longer phone calls to North America? 1 hour free of charge - no problem. Ask Hans for a WiFi phone.
In a villa the rest of your familiy or friends is only one or some doors away without walking over a public hotel floor or using the elevator.
If you like a drink just open one of your fridges. Must not pay or sign for f.e. $7 per drink and person like in a hotel.
Hotel guests told that they are feeling like in a prison
The hotel closeby has no beach umbrellas as the CARIBBEAN BEACH PARADISE and OCEAN BEACH PARADISE: 360 degr. nice view.
The hotel guests can rent a Cabana für $30 - do you want to stay in a tent?
More advantages:
Washer and dryer
blender
iron and ironboard
the maid can braid your hairs
must not share the pool with many other hotel guests
Icemaker in each studio
Inbetween doors for some rooms
private common living room for the group
cook on request
Barbecue
Parking your car directly at the house - save your time every day, anytime you are driving.
Almost private beach (one of the best beaches in the Caribbean) in front of the property - the CARIBBEAN BEACH PARADISE and the OCEAN BEACH PARADISE provides that.
The maid does sweep and mop the floors, she cares for the beds and towels and dishes. You have also a dishwasher. Maid service every other day is included. More service: please ask. The maid can also cook for you or braid your hair.
Unlike the west side here is no problem with mosquitoes inside and outside the house. There is always a breeze and mosquitoes don't like wind. The windows have mosquitoes screens.
Compare with other beaches: At Orient Beach there is no villa directly on the beach. You have to drive or walk a long way to the beach. The Orient Beach is very crowded. The OCEAN BEACH PARADISE is a beach vacation villa and the beach next to the villa is almost private and that part of the Dawn Beach is very uncrowded. At the Orient Beach are motor boats. At the Dawn Beach there are no motor boats. At Orient Beach you are far away from the town. Next to the Orient Beach is the Gran Case Airport and the planes do start near the Orient Beach. At the Dawn Beach is no Airport. If you like to drive from the Dawn Beach to the Orient Beach it's just 15 minutes. The location of the OCEAN BEACH PARADISE and the CARIBBEAN BEACH PARADISE - name for both: TROPICAL BEACH PARADISE www.tropicalbeachparadise.com with the marvelous view is one in a million.
Proposals for Christmas/evening are
Cheri's Cafe with live music and dance at Maho Plaza behind the Airport or

Restaurants nearby:

Currencies
You can use dollars and euros. On the French Side the exchange rate is different in each shop. Some shops and restaurants on the french side offer 1 euro = 1 dollar. Some offer exchange rates better than the official exchange rate 1.22 (June 2010). Than it's better to pay with dollars. And cash in US$ is cheeper than credit card in EURO. On the gas stations at the dutch side the currency is guilders. 1.75 or 1.78 Netherlands Antilles Guilders (NAF) = 1 US$. They is maybe written: Sales are in $. But it’s in NAF.
On the dutch side in most shops it's better to pay with dollars. The largest Food Market on the dutch side Le Gran Marche and some other shops have prices in NAF (Netherlands Antilles Guilders = florines). They calculate with the exact exchange rate 1.8 NAF = 1 US$ or with 1.78. Therefore you can pay in US$. On Sunday afternoon the are some Groceries on the way from the airport open. One of the bests is on the right side nearly opposite Rancho Steakhouse before the bridge. The large food markets are closed on Sunday afternoon.
Major credit cards are excepted on the whole island. There are many ATM machines for Cirrus, Maestro and Credit cards.
The Ocean Beach Paradise and the Caribbean Beach Paradise are one of the safest properties on the island.
