The Neighborhood: Cupecoy

Cupecoy sits at the western tip of the Dutch side, at the French border, where sandstone cliffs and sea caves drop down to a small beach. Most homes are condos in gated residences and in the Porto Cupecoy marina village, with Mullet Bay Beach and the island’s golf course next door. Maho’s restaurants and the airport are a few minutes away.

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.
