We recommend renting a car on St. Martin, as it is difficult to get around without one. Jeeps and enclosed cars are available for approximately 50 to $60 per day during the high season, and slightly lower during off-season.
It is important to let WIMCO know your complete flight itinerary, or have WIMCO's Air Department help plan your flights, so that you can be met at the airport. A representative from the island management firm will be on hand to accompany you to your villa. Check-in time is generally 3:00 p.m., and checkout time is 12:00 noon. Please be considerate to the maid and the next guest by leaving the villa on time.

WIMCO can arrange for catering services to occasionally prepare meals in your villa, but we require sufficient notice to make these arrangements. There are also numerous excellent restaurants offering exquisitely prepared gourmet meals.
Please let us know well in advance if you require this service, as well as the hours necessary. Babysitting is difficult to arrange and have on an all day basis. Please indicate the need for a crib or an extra bed for children as well.
