The Horny Toad Guest House, Beach guest house in Simpson Bay, Sint Maarten
The Horny Toad Guesthouse is a beachfront property with eight rooms in Simpson Bay featuring views of the Caribbean Sea, Saba, and Statia. Each room includes a patio or balcony and comes equipped with modern amenities.
The property was founded in 1982 by Betty and Earle Vaughan as a family operation. Their daughter Debbie and son-in-law Doug Gorton assumed management in 2017 and have continued operating it.
Regular guests often return year after year, creating a sense of familiarity and community within the property. This continuity shapes the character of the place and transforms it into something more than just accommodation.
The property is just minutes from the international airport, making arrival straightforward. It provides secure parking, daily room cleaning, and beach equipment including loungers and umbrellas.
The property caters specifically to adults, creating a more relaxed environment than many other beach accommodations on the island. A low seawall shields it from direct wave action while maintaining open ocean views.
