Beachfront Creole villa with incredible ocean views and private plunge pool

Built just a few years ago Maison Vue Des Iles has the character and appearance of a traditional plantation property. The shared private drive is gated and the gardens have a fine collection of tropical plants. Behind the house is a wind-cut granite outcrop covered in Bougainvillea. The interior is a real contrast, the decor is a modern take on colonial style, with white walls and sofas softened by wooden floors and furniture, a mezzanine level doesn't obstruct a view upwards 30ft to the rafters. There are huge oil paintings by local artists (including our famous neighbour Raymond Dubuisson) to provide color, none however can compete with the vivid turquoise of the sea that can be seen straight ahead through the folding veranda doors. Stepping through is breathtaking, locals believe there is no more beautiful spot on what is a tropical island paradise. The property has a range cooker, fridge, dishwasher, laundry and library. Most of your time will be spent outside relaxing in the infinity plunge pool, snorkelling in the ocean or looking at it from the pool, sun deck or veranda.

Spectacular views - BUT be very cautious
The location and views are spectacular and completely as described, sadly this is where it ends in the luxury section, the pictures of the property are very old, and not representative of the current state of maintenance. We found the entire property to be lacking and all issues mentioned by a very few other travelers to be correct. On arrival we were told that the shower in one bathroom was not functioning - this was a major let down, and as it had been a problem for a while, we should have been informed in advance and given the opportunity to cancel and book elsewhere. The upper patio was wonderful with spectacular views and good furniture, but the stairs to the lower deck, and the deck itself was deteriorating and the handrails were rickety and a health hazard. The nice deck furniture from the pictures have been replaced by plastic sunbeds and chairs. The pool was a disaster - the overflow system was not used so the surface was dirty, and the pool was murky and with algae growing. The furniture inside were not luxurious at all - beds are not true king size but doubles, but OK comfortable. There were lots of other issues - no hand soap, only limited drinking water provided, only small amount of shampoo available. Our greatest shock was discussing the failures with the host, and being offered compensation, provided we did not leave a negative review ! This we reported to VRBO, and this might explain the continuing positive reviews, on this outdated and overpriced property.

Amazing property in all respects and excellent interactions with the owner, property managers, cleaners etc. Would highly recommend. Only slight caution would be for a family with small children--would need to be supervised as the pool is in a beautiful but elevated position and the beach/coral next to the house can be a little challenging to swim in when the sea is rough (we were there in the windy season), but our teenage children loved it!

Private Piece of Paradise at the end of the road.
The house and property are gorgeous. Once you arrive you do not want to leave. When you enter it is difficult to know where to look. The doors are open with an expansive ocean view and the most photogenic little island just to the left. The white walls of the house are covered with original oil paintings, most by local artists. The house is, literally, at the end of the road.. very private, on single track road which requires careful navigation. There is some of the best snorkeling I have experienced just down the steps from the house. The fish were exquisite but it was the vast variety of clean, colorful and unbroken coral that fascinated me. We cooked several dinners in to the enjoy the home and ocean view. The kitchen was fully equipped. There are many games for evening entertainment and the A/C in the bedrooms was a welcome relief. It is the tropics so expect heat, humidity, a few bugs, cute skinks and geckos. The skinks and geckos are another source of entertainment. We spent hours in the pool enjoying the view. It is the best spot on the island, in my opinion. It is very easy to explore the rest of the island and La Digue, from here, before returning back to the peace and quiet at the end of the road. The host was easy to communicate with and answered all my questions promptly. When we arrived there was little welcome pack of island treats, which we enjoyed.

Perfect Location for those seeking tranquillity and a gorgeous view
We had high expectations and were positively surprised. The cottage is set at the end of a road, and offers total tranquility. The reef in front of the house is probably the best snorkeling spot on Praslin (so we were told). In the house we found everything in perfect condition, and every day the housekeeper took care of the place, bringing our stay close to a hotel stay. Our only word of caution is for those who do not like to drive narrow roads and for those who cannot walk a few stairs. Also, we founded the sea to be quite challenging for our 10 year old son. For younger children the snorkeling might be too difficult. We would certainly stay here again if we come back to Praslin.

Paradise!
Amazing property on a beautiful beach next to a small island. A car is a must, and the drive to town at night a little challenging first time around. Raymond the neighbor next door is a talented artist who is very welcoming, and has two tortoises on his property! We purchased a beautiful painting from Raymond as a remembrance of our honeymoon and stay. We were there for 5 nights during the middle of our honeymoon, and wish we had stayed longer. Ryan was superb helping us with car/pick up/directions/advice/restaurant reservations, etc. what a kind man! Plan on returning, maybe with friends next time.

Island Paradise
Maison Vue Des Iles is the place to be if you want a totally private, relaxing holiday with a view from the verandah to die for! My wife and I spent most of our time enjoying the view, which included a stunning little island right in front of the villa, crystal clear water, rolling surf and colors only seen in magazines: glistening white sandy beaches, unbelievably green vegetation and the magical blues of the ocean. Claudette and her team (Ryan and Debbie) made our stay dream-easy, from the beginning of the booking process through to the end of our stay. We were collected at the airport and driven to the villa, the rented car was delivered there, we were shown the property and the normal ins and outs of the various electrical implements (which included dishwasher, washing machine and tumble drier) and were helped getting online for our internet addictions. All in all, our weeks' stay there was one of the best breaks of my life and I can recommend this property absolutely wholeheartedly. Thanks so much Claudette - we will cherish these memories forever.

6 jours réussis dans une magnifique villa
Nous avons beaucoup apprécié la villa « vue des îles ». L’accueil est professionnel, à l’aéroport de Praslin (taxi envoyé et pris en charge). La villa est grande, bien équipée et décorée, et calme. La vue est magnifique sur l’océan. Quel plaisir, par exemple, de déjeuner face à la mer ! Le ménage est fait tous les deux jours. La piscine est petite mais très fonctionnelle. Les enfants ont apprécié. Le village d’Anse La Blague est un atout également : belle plage, contact facile avec les habitants, épicerie pratique pour dépanner. Quelques petits inconvénients mais mineurs : 1) la route d’accès depuis Baie St Anne est étroite et escarpée 2) le côté très lugubre le soir une fois la nuit tombée. Le calme vaut aussi la nuit, mais parfois on se sent seul au monde. 3) pas mal de petites bêtes et d’insectes cohabitent avec vous jusque dans la villa : lézards, blattes. Nous avons même eu un énorme mille-pattes. 4) La plage de la villa est petite et surtout impraticable du fait des vagues. Il n’y a manifestement pas de barrière de corail à cet endroit. Mais les plages ne manquent sur l’île. Une nouvelle fois, notre bilan est largement positif, et c’est inconvénients restent mineurs. Nous recommandons cette villa.

Unbeschreibliche Lage vom Maison de Vue des Iles! Sehr großzügiges Haus mit allen Annehmlichkeiten und ein sehr gepflegtes Anwesen. Housekeeping nach Absprache und Bedarf sehr sorgfältig. Der Verwalter vor Ort ist umsichtig und immer erreichbar. Die Anfahrt ist ein wenig abenteuerlich wegen der der anderen Art und Weise, wie auf den Seychellen Straßen gebaut werden. Den kostenlosen Service des Hauses, sich bei der Anreise abholen zu lassen, sollte man unbedingt in Anspruch nehmen.

Wunderschönes Ferienhaus!
Abgesehen von dem einzigartigem Haus und dem atemberaubendem Blick auf das Meer, ist die Lage wirklich perfekt. Das Haus hatte keine Mängel vorzuweisen und auch der Garten war sehr schön gepflegt. Der private Zugang zum Meer war unser absoluter Favorit zusammen mit dem Infinity-Pool. Auch die Einrichtung des Hauses war unvergleichlich. Keine nervigen Fliegen oder Spinnen. Nur der Weg zum Haus war ein Abenteuer für sich, aber machbar. Sehr Empfehlenswert!

Belle vue
Nous sommes arrivés à Praslin après 15 heures de voyage. Ryan devait venir nous chercher à l'aéroport, il nous a envoyé un autre taxi, sans plus d'explication… Après avoir récupéré notre véhicule de location, nous nous sommes dirigés vers Anse la Blague et la maison vue des Iles. La conduite aux Seychelles se fait à gauche, c'est une habitude à prendre, un peu déconcertant au départ. La route qui mène à la maison (3 kilomètres) est en fait une piste bétonnée d'une largeur d'environ deux mètres au maximum, sans accotements avec des fossés d'une profondeur d'un mètre pour l'écoulement des eaux de pluie. Inutile de préciser qu'il est impossible de croiser un autre véhicule sans se garer dans les deux ou trois emplacements présents sur les trois kilomètres. La route est abrupte et dangereuse (attention aux bus !!). On a failli accrocher le véhicule plusieurs fois. Arrivés enfin à la maison Ryan nous attendait et nous a fait visiter. Il est très professionnel. Nous sommes arrivés un dimanche, les commerces étaient fermés, Ryan nous a dit qu'il y avait de la nourriture au frigo (10 œufs et une bouteille de vin). Pour 3 personnes inutile de préciser que nous n'avons pas frôlé l'indigestion… La maison est conforme aux clichés, elle est agréable. La femme de ménage passe tous les jours et reste environ 3 heures, c'est quelqu'un de très discret et sérieux. La connection WIFI est bonne aucun problème pour surfer ou consulter ses mails. Trois ou quatre chaines de télévision francophone sont à votre disposition. L'équipement de la maison est complet mis à part le four micro-onde qui est absent. On a envoyé un mail à Claudette pour lui en faire part, visiblement ça ne semble pas être sa préoccupation, c'est dommage de mégoter pour un appareil à 50 euros d'autant que c'est plus pratique que de faire réchauffer ses aliments "a l'ancienne" dans des casseroles sur la gazinière… Si vous recherchez le contact humain, oubliez, la propriétaire ne nous a pas fait l'honneur d'une rencontre pas plus que d'un coup de fil pour souhaiter la bienvenue. Franchement c'est la première fois que je vois cela depuis 30 ans que je voyage. C'est dommage de considérer la location comme un business, un minimum de convivialité est toujours appréciable... Pour résumer, si vous avez un chauffeur, si vous n'avez pas d'appréhension en voiture et si vous ne souhaitez aucun contact humain avec qui que ce soit, allez passer quelques jours dans cette villa à la vue exceptionnelle.

Ein Traumhaus inmitten einer traumhaften Kulisse an einem kleinem Privatstrand!
Ein Traumhaus inmitten einer traumhaften Kulisse an einem kleinem Privatstrand; das war unser erster Eindruck und dieser hielt bis zum Schluss unseres Urlaubs. Das Haus ist in einem gepflegten Zustand und gut ausgestattet. Für die Lage und um die wunderschönen Strände der Insel zu besuchen, ist ein Auto unentbehrlich. Die Villa ist ideal für Urlauber, die die Ruhe und Abgeschiedenheit suchen, die Natur lieben und gerne schwimmen und schnorcheln. Das einzigartige an diesem Ort ist der atemberaubende Blick auf das weite Meer und der herzliche und aufmerksame Gartner. Organisation und Kommunikation mit der Vermieterin Claudette war Top! Wir haben uns sehr gut erholt und können Maison Vue des Iles uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen!
