Simpson Bay Apartment | Le Papillon on the beach

2 Bedroom Apartment in Simpson Bay

Le Papillon 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.
Overlooking the entire Simpson Bay beach, the comfortable 2150 sq. feet apartment is equipped with everything a visitor might need. The long list of our luxurious amenities is shown below.
Guests are welcome with a drink. Selection of drinks can be found in the fridge and in our free mini bar.
A great selection of restaurants can be found within convenient walking distance. To name a few:
Skip Jack - local fisherman's restaurant; Bamboo - amazing sushi and more; Top Carrot - vegetarian and healthy meals; Avantika - very elegant place with Thai cuisine; Sale & Pepe - great Italian place; Toppers - American cuisine; Yacht Club - a great place to watch boats coming into lagoon and drink; Pizza Italy - another Italian cuisine; Palapa Grill - known for great steaks and more; Atlantico - an amazing bakery
Some restaurants can even be accessed without putting your shoes on. That includes Karakter, Mary's boon and El Zafiro. They can be enjoyed right on the beach.
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. We had lots of decorative damages but luckily nothing major.
Simpson Bay Area is a good place to be. 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 at the same time when you are in the apartment or on the beach you are completely away from any outside world.

Summary: The condo was right on the beach and the area was very practical for just walking to restaurants. The parking area was very safe & protected for our rental. The view was spectacular! Everything was to our liking. We got to relax…the most important requirement.

Summary: This a fabulous place to stay on St. Martin. The apartment is beautiful, clean, well stocked and steps from one of the best beaches on the island. Cafes and restaurants are easily walkable.Simona is a great host. We had two small issues that we texted her about and they were resolved within a couple of hours. She is very knowledgable about the island and has great suggestions.

Summary: Family of 4 with a 7 day stay. Absolutely loved every second. Very easy beach access and wow what a view. Great location to restaurants. Communication was very good and the additional boat trip was so worth it. Would stay here again for sure.

Summary: We stayed in this property for one week in April 2025. There were four of us, two adult adults and two teenagers. There was plenty of space for everybody. This rental was amazing. Pictures are accurate, but don’t do the place justice as the view is fantastic. And having the beach outside of your door is just chef’s kiss. Arrival and departure instructions were spot on. The property manager was very easy to connect with. The property was also very convenient to the main airport. The property felt very safe and secure. The elevator was super helpful as the entry was on the third floor. There was ample safe parking (consider renting a small vehicle as the parking lot is small but adequate). Property is walkable to some fantastic restaurants and a small convenience store. We would definitely rent here again.

Summary: Excellent place to stay. Beautiful property inside and out. Pretty much your own private beach. Communications with owner were answered promptly. We drank our morning coffee on the beautiful terrance overlooking the beach. We will definitely go to this place again.

Summary: We had a wonderful stay at Le Papillon. The apartment was beatiful, spacious and impeccably decorated. The incredible porch ran the whole length of the apartment and looked right out onto Simpson Bay, the beach, the boats and the sunsets. The private steps down to the beach were an added bonus. Simona was a great host. We had one snafu with a grocery order that she jumped in and resolved in less than a day. We can't recommend this place enough!

Summary: The pictures don’t do the condo justice. Everything was immaculate and Simona was a pleasure to deal with. The building is super secure, the location perfect, the views to die for and the beds absolutely amazing (seriously where can one purchase these mattresses). Everything one could need is provided and this truly was a great place to call home while on island. I will definitely return again to this beautiful home!!
