About St. Martin - Sint Maarten Vacation Rentals

St. Martin, known collectively as St-Martin/St Maarten, is a small island that lies about 186 miles east of Puerto Rico in the Caribbean. It is the world’s smallest shared island, split 60/40 between France and the Netherlands.

Despite the fact that the Netherlands’ side is smaller, its population is larger. Princess Juliana International Airport serves this quaint island, which is a haven for tourists wishing to enjoy one of the many St. Martin – Sint Maarten vacation rentals.

U.S. tourists will appreciate that English is the most common language, which makes it easy to shop in one of the island’s many duty free boutiques. Shoppers will pay with euros on the French side and guilders on the Dutch side. Some stores also accept U.S. dollars, but the exchange range will likely be significantly inflated in the islanders’ favor. In addition to shopping, St. Martin is known for its excellent food and luxury accommodations.

The Dutch side is fun loving and exotic, with a festive nightlife, casinos and guavaberry liquor. Visitors to the French side of the island should take note that some of the beaches allow nudity. Travel is generally slow, as the island is overrun with vehicles. However, cars are the main mode of transportation for tourists and inhabitants alike. Travel to some of the more secluded beaches may require the use of a 4-wheel drive vehicle.
