OVERVIEW
Welcome to Villa Five Minutes More, a luxurious hillside haven nestled within the serene, gated community of Oyster Pond on the Dutch side of St. Maarten. True to its name, this villa invites you to linger just a little longer, whether it's to savor one more sunset, one more swim, or one more toast to paradise. With panoramic views of Anguilla, Tintamarre, Pinel, Orient Bay, and more, all the way to St. Barts, the scenery alone feels like a dream brought to life.
From the moment you pass through the private gate, a breathtaking tableau unfolds over the turquoise waters of Tintamarre, Pinel, and Baie Orientale, framed by rolling hills and the shimmering horizon. Step onto the expansive terrace, where the glistening heated pool with its sun ledge offers the perfect spot to unwind, morning or evening.
Outdoor enthusiasts will love the villa's large gas and charcoal grills, an alfresco bar area, and multiple spaces for dining or lounging while watching boats drift into the harbor below.
Inside, Villa Five Minutes More exudes elegance and comfort in equal measure. The grand foyer opens to an airy great room with dramatic two-story windows framing the endless blue beyond. Under the soaring arched ceiling, plush seating invites relaxation, while the fully equipped gourmet kitchen, complete with a gas stove and high-end appliances, makes cooking and entertaining a joy. Open the wide doors to the balcony to feel the gentle trade winds and take in the moonlit views of Oyster Pond Bay.
Designed with privacy and comfort in mind, the villa's American-style layout separates guest suites across two levels. Each suite features an en suite bathroom, refined furnishings, and ocean-facing balconies or patios. The Chairman's Suite and Summer Wind Suite embody understated luxury with sweeping views, while the Nauti Suite offers a tranquil retreat for quiet moments. For a touch of retro glamour, the Rat Pack Suite charms with its private patio, playful swing seating, and a romantic outdoor bathtub, the perfect spot to soak under the stars with a glass of champagne.
Every detail has been carefully considered to ensure a carefree stay. Guests will find beach chairs, coolers, towels, and beach toys ready for use, making seaside excursions effortless. Venture out to explore St. Martin's beautiful beaches like Le Galion, Baie Orientale, and Anse Marcel. For dining, shopping, and local culture, the culinary capital of Grand Case, the vibrant nightlife of Philipsburg, and the markets of Hope Estate are all just a short drive away.
Whether you're watching the sunrise over St. Barts or the moonrise over Oyster Pond, Villa Five Minutes More offers an enchanting escape where every moment feels timeless, and every guest wishes for just a little more time in paradise.

We need more time!
We stayed at Five Minutes More. The villa was beautiful and the pictures do not do it justice. Besides a gorgeous villa with spectacular views and pool, they provided everything you could possibly think of needing. Housekeeping was spectacular. We could not say enough great things about Tina. She does it all and is so friendly. We hope to be back in the near future and appreciate the owner sharing a piece of their paradise with our family.

Not Answered
My family and I were very happy with the villa. Our concierge Ruby Khan was exceptional! She went above and beyond to make our family trip memorable and stress free. The villa was even more beautiful in person. Our concierge planned our entire trip.. Chef services, excursions, transportation and rental car. As soon as we arrived to the villa our rental car was there. The home is on a very steep hill so be sure to have 4 wheel drive. There’s a wonderful breeze throughout the main floor of the home. The views are amazing! You can see Anguilla, St. Barts and Pinel. Again, as I mentioned before.. our concierge was excellent. She was very helpful in planning our excursions. Which made our vacation even better. We had zero worries and more free time to enjoy our vacation. I will continue to use Rental Escapes in the future. If, you’re in doubt about using this company please don’t be. Much more personal than any of those other rental agencies.

Really nice!
The house is breathtaking! The layout is amazing, and the pool is a bonus. Just make sure you have a good car with 4 wheel drive to get you up there.

Rental Escapes adds invaluable value to this property!
Having never stayed at a Rental Escapes property, I was beyond pleased at the level of service (before AND throughout our stay) offered just by renting this property. The booking process was flawless and the concierge reserved us some fabulous activities. Won’t hesitate to rent another property with them in any location!

Villa Honeymoon
Everyone was helpful and professional. (Josh & Bianca were fantastic) My only problem and it may or may not be anything you were responsible for was stolen items out of my luggage. My bags didn't arrive with my flight at 11:00 A.M. and they said they would arrive at 8:00PM. Your rep kindly offered to deliver them at 9:00.(I left a $50.00 tip) After she left and we unpacked I noticed I was missing half my stuff and my wife also. My intention isn't to point fingers but felt you should be aware of this in case it happens in the future. I would book again with Josh. Thank you.

Stunning and lovely
La Mirella is more beautiful than pictured, with soaring views of Oyster Bay and the ocean. The home is well maintained and very clean and the modern aesthetic and open design really appealed to us. The house is equipped with all you might need, sat TV, wifi, fully equipped kitchen, even a local cell phone provided for your use. There is daily housekeeping, which was a surprise and Fidelia the housekeeper was lovely. I couldn't quite give 5 stars because the drive to the villa is on steep, windy, narrow partially paved and unpaved roads that are downright treacherous in rain and not for the faint of heart at night, even with a 4 wheel drive vehicle. Also the kitchen dishwasher wasn't working, although they had a backup unit running in a utility room. We just washed our dishes by hand. Our pre-trip handling by Rental Escapes was excellent. The team there was nothing but friendly, helpful and communicative leading up to our trip.

Will book again
It was so easy to plan our vacation with Rental Escapes! They not only found two amazing houses near each other for our two families but also recommended excursions for us while we were on the island. Then when we let them know what we were interested in, they took care of all the booking and follow up confirmations. It could not have been a more pleasant experience for us all. Thank you!
