We have stayed at the Toad every year for the last 4 and love it. The owner and the staff are the best and they make sure your stay is perfect. The view is great and it is right on the beach. My husband and I feel that we were pampered by the wonderful staff. You will not be disappointed... More

We stayed here for three nights and loved our experience. We enjoyed the beautiful view of the water from our room and started every morning with a swim in the ocean. The rooms was impeccably clean and the service was top notch for this gem.

Stayed at the Toad and it was fabulous. Nothing fancy, but very clean and homey. The property manager Betty is wonderful and will make your stay a pure delight. She had our fridge stocked when we got there, renting a car was a breeze. The beach was beautiful and the water great. I will be going back to the Toad... More

My hubby and I stayed here for 12 days in April/May. We've stayed at many places in SXM, but never one as wonderful as here. Rooms are spotless and have everything you could possibly need. You walk out your door and you're on the beach. The owner, Betty, is incredible. A real class act! Can't wait to go back again.... More

My wife & I stayed here for 3 nights in Dec. '12, after Christmas. We enjoyed our stay on our 2nd floor room, overlooking the beautiful beach. We liked the sliding security gate, & all the amenities of our room. Betty the owner was great, & made our stay very enjoyable.

My husband and I stayed in the upper unit (#2) and his sister and her son and grown daughter in the larger downstairs unit (#5). We went back and forth between both units over the course of our 5-day stay, but I prefer the upstairs oceanview rooms. In Dec/Jan there is a lovely breeze to keep you cool (though rooms... More

My boyfriend and I really enjoyed our stay here for 2 nights in October. Betty was incredibly gracious... we had an issue prior to traveling in that we sent in our deposit by check and she never received it. She held our reservation and let us pay her on good faith when we got there. The property is a gem:... More

The Horny Toad is a deliberately small and distinctive guesthouse known for its congenial and unpretentious atmosphere. The original building is a former governor's house tastefully renovated into spacious, fully-equipped apartments. Each of the eight apartments is delightfully different, displaying a personality of its own. All rooms have fully-equipped kitchens, king size beds, complete baths with shower, and daily maid service. Fresh flowers are arranged in the units every day. The guesthouse is on the beach and provides beach chairs, towels and floats. An outdoor barbecue pavilion with two Weber gas grills, table and hammock allow you to enjoy dining beach-side. Simpson Bay beach is a beautiful, uncrowded mile-long beach - just a few steps from each apartment - great for walking, swiming and sunbathing.The Toad has been awarded Fodor's Choice Award each year including the most recent in 2012. They called us the "island's best value" on the Dutch side of St Maarten.This is a No Smoking property. No children under seven years of age, please. We can arrange to have a rental car for your use and stock your unit with food before arrival upon request. There is free high-speed WiFi in all the units and a complimentary computer with internet access and printer in the business center/reception area. Free gated parking on the property.
