Rates checked in September 2026. Under its single-fee structure, Airbnb charges most hosts 15.5%; Airbnb says other hosts typically pay between 14% and 16%. Exceptions depend on country and account type. Booking.com sets the commission rate in each accommodation agreement, and visibility programmes may increase it. This worked example uses a possible range of 15% to 25%. If Booking.com facilitates payment, the applicable payment terms and transaction cost are contract-specific. Our 6.9% cost contribution is included in the displayed total and contributes towards Stripe payment fees and refunds. Nothing is added at checkout and nothing is deducted from the owner. Fee models can change, so please check each platform’s current terms. Sources: Airbnb Help Center and Booking.com General Delivery Terms.
Popular places
Saint Martin is a single Caribbean island shared by two nations: the French collectivity of Saint-Martin in the north and the Dutch constituent country of Sint Maarten in the south. That split gives the island an unusual double personality within a very compact area. The French side is known for its beaches, quieter villages and reputation for food, with the town of Grand Case long regarded as a dining destination and Orient Bay drawing beachgoers to its long stretch of sand. The Dutch side centres on Philipsburg and the busy area around the airport, including Maho Beach, famous worldwide for the low-flying aircraft that pass just overhead as they land. Crossing between the two sides is easy and largely unmarked, so many visitors happily bounce between them, sampling French cafes one day and Dutch-side marinas or nightlife the next. Beyond the beaches there are lagoons, hills with viewpoints, and boat trips to nearby islets and neighbouring islands. The island is well connected by air, with the main airport on the Dutch side, and getting around is usually by hire car or taxi. It suits travellers who want variety, two cultures, and a lot of coastline within a short drive.

Holiday homes in St. Martin: FAQ
Book vacation apartments and holiday homes safely with BookNoFees ↗The island's main international airport is on the Dutch side, and most visitors arrive there before continuing by hire car or taxi. There is also ferry access to nearby islands. Once on the island, the French and Dutch sides are easy to move between by road, so you can stay on one side and explore the other without much fuss.
The French side is generally quieter and known for its beaches and dining, with Grand Case and Orient Bay among the highlights. The Dutch side is busier, centred on Philipsburg, Simpson Bay and the airport area including Maho Beach. Crossing between them is simple, so many travellers experience both. Your host can suggest which side suits your plans.
The island is warm year-round, with a drier season and a hotter, wetter season that overlaps the wider Atlantic hurricane season. Many visitors favour the cooler, drier months for settled beach weather. Conditions vary by year, so check current forecasts for your dates and ask your host what to expect around your trip.
Yes. Maho Beach sits at the end of the runway on the Dutch side, and aircraft pass low overhead as they land, which has made it a well-known spectacle. It is one of several distinctive spots on an island packed with beaches. Ask your host for current advice on visiting safely and the best times to go.
