Wonderful spot for a family vacation
We loved our stay at this beautiful spot! Everyone was very sad to leave after our two weeks were over. The owners went out of their way to be accommodating and we had excellent communication with them throughout the booking process. The person providing support on site was very helpful and checked in on us several times to provide information about gardener's visits, the pool cleaner and some to answer some questions we had. The house has every possible amenity - bbq, dishwasher, rice cooker, salad spinner, drying rack for clothes etc etc. We left some sandtoys and floaties + a few kitchen ammenities to pay it forward a little. The house was spotless when we moved in and was easy to keep tidy despite the expected chaos of three young children. For a stay of two weeks, it would have been nice to have had some extra sheets, towels and drying cloths available on site but we also could have been more proactive and asked for them and I know they would have been delivered right away. :) The pool is perfect for families -and is saltwater - so no yucky chemicals. We spent much of our time at the house in the outside living space and really appreciated the comfort of that area. It's quiet with beautiful views and we never saw a single bug during our stay (January). The house is in an ideal location for exploring the island and visiting the best beaches. Highlights for our family were the beaches at Salines, Dufour, Noire, Presqu'ile de la Caravelle (excellent hike up to the lighthouse and plantation ruins that our 4, 7 and 10 year olds tackled with no problems, even in the heat) and we loved our time at the black sand beach up at Grand'Riviere.
Martinique is a wonderful place for a holiday. The best of the Caribbean culture and climate with European infrastructure, recycling and grocery stores! This house was the cherry on the sundae and I am so pleased that we booked it. I recommend it without reservation. Note too that the the owners have two (three? maybe?) other smaller houses with pools in the same area - all very private and separate - but would be ideal if you were travelling with another (smallish) family or grandparents and didn't want to be on top of each other.
Thank you so much for this wonderful stay. It was an absolute treasure to have booked this spot. Count yourself lucky if you get a chance to stay here!
