Standing on the edge of paradise in a 3-bedroom villa in Terres Basses called Mongoose Run. Reach out to @sxmsir to rent this house or many like it.

While I'm in full winter gear trudging through the snow in NYC, I can't stop looking at all my photos from St. Martin a few weeks back. I can almost feel how warm the white sand at Baie Longue Beach is. What I wouldn't give to be walking down the beach right now enjoying the sunset.

After #Hurricane #Irma, the two restaurants on #Friar's Bay had a lot of work to do. It's now been over a year and they have rebuilt to be better than ever. This beach, which is located on the north-west side of the island between #Marigot and #GrandCase is a must visit. The water is perfect for families and the restaurants give a wonderful variety of food and drinks. Chairs can be rented as well as umbrellas. So bring your sunscreen and have an incredible time at Friar's Bay. If you are the advernturous type, then you must follow the path on the North side of the beach for about a 10-min walk and make your way over to Happy Bay. This beach is a secluded little getaway for that "private island" feel. It's a beautiful, white sand beach that offers an incredible amount of privacy. These two beaches have recovered well from the hurricane and are an absolute must-go the next time you find yourself on the island of St. Martin | Sint Maarten. Music by @joshuahendricksmusic

Looking for a fun night out in St. Maarten? You must explore The Red Piano ( @redpianosxm ). This Piano Bar will make you want to sing, dance and get into a little bit of trouble. The bartenders are incredibly nice and friendly, the singers are talented and highly entertaining. You will have a blast.

SWIPE LEFT: I had many requests for people wanting to see the status of the Dawn Beach, Oyster Pond, Red Pond, and Guana Bay area. I was able to spend a few hours taking photos from above of these regions. While it appears there is still some seaweed washed up on a few of these beaches, the water itself has cleared up. You'll also notice the major destruction of the Oyster Pond docks. Some turned over boats in the water, but from what I have heard, a lot less than before. Lots of work being done here and they have made fantastic strides.

Artist have been painting the destroyed boats that have yet to be cleaned up from Hurricane Irma. Some people may not like it, but for others it brings a little light into a dark situation. I found that I enjoyed driving by and seeing the bright colors and artwork. On this day, I stopped the car to get a closer look.
