Nettle Bay Villas for Rent

Nettle Bay (Baie Nettlé) is the narrow strip of land just west of Marigot — calm, shallow water on the lagoon side, the open sea on the other, and the French capital's market, shops and Anguilla ferry within walking distance.

Nettle Bay (Baie Nettlé) runs along the thin spit of land between Simpson Bay Lagoon and the Caribbean, immediately west of Marigot on the French side. It is an unusual double-aspect setting: the lagoon side offers flat, shallow, sheltered water — calm enough for small children and a favourite for kitesurfing and windsurfing lessons — while the seaward side has a sandy beach with views toward Anguilla and the sunset.

Its big advantage is convenience. Marigot, the French capital, is right next door: the open-air market on the waterfront (busiest on Wednesday and Saturday mornings), Fort Louis above the harbour, a good range of restaurants and shops, and the regular passenger ferry across to Anguilla all within a short drive or a walk. Princess Juliana International Airport is roughly 15–20 minutes away, Grand Case and its restaurant row about 10–15 minutes, and Orient Bay around 20 minutes. Villas and condos here range from lagoon-side properties with dock access to beachfront homes.

Nettle Bay is for travellers who want a central French-side base, calm water for the family, easy kitesurfing, and Marigot's market and ferry within walking distance. See the Nettle Bay properties Coral Villas manages below.
