It’s a common phenomenon that those who go on vacation to consider cancelling their flight back home and staying forever, especially in the Caribbean. The islands have a slower pace of life, warm breezes, and the sound of rolling waves in lieu of bustling traffic. While this might seem like a distant fantasy right now, it’s closer to reality than you think. Some of the savviest travelers we know have taken the leap to purchase a villa of their own. That pool? That terrace? That view? All yours! These four homes in St Martin’s exclusive Terres Basses neighborhood available through our friends at Carimo are some of the hottest on the market right now, ready and waiting to make your dream of living in paradise come true. 

1. Marine Terrace 

The views at Marine Terrace never get old

Listed at: $4,180,000
Bedrooms: 5
Why you’ll love it: It’s all about the pinch-me vistas at Marine Terrace, where views of neighboring Anguilla, the town of Marigot and the glimmering Caribbean Sea are visible around the clock. Natural sunlight pours throughout the home, thanks to floor-to-ceiling retractable doors stretching across the exterior. Dip into the expansive courtyard pool that stays naturally warm before taking in the spectacular sunset from the villa’s gazebo that juts out over the cliff.

Why you’ll love it: The magic starts with the uninterrupted ocean view from the multi-level pool and terrace, and the pretty sunsets you can see from each of the four bedrooms.
