Zwei Wohnungen In Einer Im Cupecoy Beach Club, Cupecoy, Sint Maarten

A ground-floor condo at the Cupecoy Beach Club, on Cupecoy Beach at the western tip of the Dutch side, laid out as two separate units: a studio and a one-bedroom apartment. Together they offer two bedrooms, three bathrooms and about 1,600 sq ft (149 m²). Recently renovated and sold fully furnished. Asking price US$625,000. Listing ID 11220.

THE PROPERTY

The two units sit directly across from the pool. The owner can live in one and rent the other, rent both to separate guests, or open them up for one family. In a residence made up mostly of two- and three-bedroom condos, this flexibility is uncommon.

THE RESIDENCE

THE NEIGHBORHOOD: CUPECOY

Cupecoy sits at the border with the French side, where sandstone cliffs and sea caves drop to a small beach. Most homes are condos in gated residences and in the Porto Cupecoy marina village, which has a supermarket, restaurants and yacht berths on the lagoon. Mullet Bay Beach and the island’s only golf course are next door; Maho’s restaurants, casino and nightlife, and the airport, are a few minutes away. A medical school and an international school give the area a year-round community.

BUYING IN CUPECOY

Cupecoy is on the Dutch side. Foreign buyers purchase freely, in their own name or through a company. A civil-law notary checks the title, holds the deposit (usually 10%) and registers the deed. Transfer tax is 4%, paid by the buyer, and total closing costs commonly come to about 5.5% of the price. Our buyer guide on [hidden information] explains each step.
