Really wonderful peaceful place right by the beach in great location
We deeply enjoyed every minute of our stay in this warm and cozy house which immediately became a home away from home. We came her to spend the Christmas/New Year holidyas with our family (in laws, our 11 year old daughter, and us: party of 5 total). We stayed for 11 nights in this really wonderfully charming, warm, and cozy home. The house is even better than on the pictures. It is just a few steps (less than 2 minutes by foot) from the beach using a small path through a garden and a sand dune. So wonderful! The house has everything you need, very well appointed, sufficient equipment for cooking and entertaining, more than enough cook ware and silver ware, plates and glasses. The interior is nicely decorated and very well appointed, high quality appliances, 2 refrigerators, oven, dish washer, washing mashine, gas stove top and electric oven. Being able to use the fireplace in the living room was a huge plus, made everything so much more cozy and warm. FOr summer vacations they have a very nice outside fire place for BBQ and grilling on a very nice patio.
Spent very fun evenings playing games and talking by the fire place after a long walk at beach. The owner is extremely helpful and very responsive. The location is great, too. It is within walking distance to a very nice artisinal bakery, the local fresh produce farmers market and the fish market. Everything you need is right there including a well appointed super market.
The rooms in the house are nice and big and each of the two bedrooms is directly adjacent to a bathroom. The upstairs has a loft with two single beds and a separate bed roomwitha queen size bed - this upstair arrangement is optimal for kids.
In addition, the owner has provided 24 (!!) bicycles to choose from for all ages and flavors, including helmets, and an inflation pump to make sure your tires are well inflated before you embark on a fun bike ride to some near-by really beautiful little towns like St. Martin (20-30 minute bike ride). There is ample opportunity to park several cars inside and outside the property. The house is very easily accessible by car and in a very quiet and safe location. Optimal for families with kids. The sandy beach is beautiful and you can hear the ocean from the house, which is so nice. We have stayed at many different VRBOs across Europe and US and this house is definitely one of the very best and we will come back for sure!!!
