Prefer to have more space and privacy than most standard hotels offer?  Consider renting Mama Jean's  or 2 Kerkweg.  These unique properties offer an alternative way to enjoy what Statia has to offer--and both very affordable!
 

Mama Jean's has been a favorite for years with the budget traveler.  Mama Jean is a real person, a colorful older woman who loves meeting people and sharing her special property with them.  You will probably be the only guests!  An authentic Statian 'open air' cottage allows you to walk out the door to a natural kitchen and dining area within the garden--original hearth and stone work add to the charm.  Mama Jean is one of the island's calabash painters--a unique art form of painting on local fruit that resembles gourds.  She'll even let you paint one of your own.  The property is located near The Quill hiking trail with panoramic mountain and ocean views.  There's a shared bathroom between cottages and an outdoor shower.  Simple and clean--no frills like airco, tv or phones--a more natural retreat!  The price of this cute alternative is hard to beat anywhere in the Caribbean!

In cooperation with the St. Eustatius Historical Foundation, a number of original Statian cottages have been restored over the last few years.  2 Kerkweg is one of these cottages.  Imagine an 18th century home including the original brick fireplace and mahogany cabinets.  Relax in the charm of yesterday but enjoy the modern conveniences of today.  A queen size bed in the master bedroom and two twins in the second bedroom makes this two bedroom, two bathroom cottage comfortable for two couples or a family but still affordable for just two persons.  Conveniently located in the Core of Upper Town, you can easily walk to shops, restaurants, bakery, the Museum, Library and diving.  Views to Fort Oranjestaad and the sea, also fully air conditioned.
