The Neighborhood: Maho

Maho is the island's liveliest corner, at the end of the airport runway. Maho Village puts a casino, restaurants, bars and duty-free shops within a few walkable blocks, with Mullet Bay Beach and the island's only golf course next door. Princess Juliana International Airport is minutes away. It suits buyers who want energy and convenience rather than seclusion.

Owning and Renting

Maho has strong visitor traffic year-round, and the residence offers a rental program. Ask us for the program's terms and any booking history, and budget for the monthly fee, insurance, utilities and management. SXM Dream Investments can advise you on rental management options.

Buying

The sale goes through a civil-law notary on the Dutch side, with buyer closing costs of about 5.5% of the price, including the 4% transfer tax: about US$71,500 on this penthouse, as an estimate.
