Map of St Martin / St Maarten

The Simpson Beach Condominiums are located on the beach between the airport and Pelican Key. For those of you familiar with the island, it is shortly before the drawbridge over the lagoon canal (on the ocean side of course).

The Simpson Beach Condominiums are directly on Simpson Beach on the Dutch side of the island. This long sandy beach stretches all the way from the airport to the entrance to the lagoon. It is the longest beach on the island. There is an abundance of seashells near the condos. Water sports are available nearby.

The condos are in a quiet residential neighborhood with a mixture of private homes and vacation properties. Within a very short drive or walk, you will find a bakery, bank, restaurants to eat in or carryout food, sports bar, grocery store and more. When booking with us we will send our own information on island activities, restaurants and much more.
