We loved the large terrace with a big table. The pool was an ongoing attraction for the kids. The water in front of the house was a nice background, but for swimming you need to go to another beach. The island is large and offers a lot of things to do.

This house is in a very good location, about 4 km from a nice grocery store and very close to restaurants. The house itself is as we expected, It had everything we needed I’ll do we would’ve like to have a few more pillows and some blankets. The communication with the owner, Yohan, was good, although he didn’t always reply within 24 hours, we always manage to get our answers, Corinne was very nice also. So overall we enjoyed our stay but unfortunately we can’t say that we would go back just because of the neighbour’s dog who woke us up 8 mornings out of 11 mornings at around 6 AM but that is not Yohan‘s fault 🙁.

The house has 5 bedrooms, 4 upstairs and one down, two with en suite bathrooms and a third in the hallway. We travelled there with 11 people and 4 families so the layout worked pretty well, the first night no one wanted the basement bedroom but it was in high demand by the second day. A/C in all the bedrooms was great if you like it, but it was normally cool enough with great breezes that you could leave all the windows open and sleep comfortably. We had no issues with bugs at all, the only critters we saw were iguanas. There was a lot of kid stuff there, 2 pack and plays and a high chair that we didnt know about which were helpful. The kitchen was well equipped and there was a fantastic huge outdoor dining table overlooking the ocean and the pool which was just perfect for an island house. Internet was really good, we never watched the satalite but brought our Apple TV which was great to chill the kids in front of after a long day in the sun and it worked with no issues there. On the complaint side, the beds were all as hard as rocks and pillows were more like small couch cushions. The furniture in the living room was a bit sparse and the living room's central location in the house meant that if one kid in our party (which had 4 under 4)was up, everyone was up. The beach they are near by is scenic but not big, sandy or good for laying out etc. St. Francois was about a mile away, too far to walk with the kids and too narrow of a road to walk at night so we ended up having to drive everywhere, often very short trips such as to the bakery Aleonard for fresh bread but they only took about 3 mins. Maryse the caretaker was fantastic and took care of the small issues happily. Her husband catered a delicious meal called Chicken Columbo for the night of our arrival which was so welcome and they even put milk and other groceries in the fridge for us so we didn't have to run out first thing too. At the end of the day, we had a great stay and would definitely stay there again.
