We were two couples who very much enjoyed our 12 day vacation in this great part of Guadeloupe. The owners were very easy to communicate with by text (in English, as our French was not too good). Sainte-Francois and the peninsula of Pointe des Chateaux was the right place to be. The view from the deck/pool area is spectacular and the house, although in a gated community, was very private. We found the house to be very clean, neat and well equipped. We were met by Marie-Helene who and made the house welcoming with fresh flowers. The breezes always blew and although there was AC available in the bedrooms we never needed it. We loved exploring the many hiking trails that meandered along the coast line just behind the beaches. We walked from the Pointe to the house in a couple of hours. We went to different beaches ... up to Le Moule, to Sainte-Francois and over to Sainte-Anne. Some were more swimmable than others because of the coral but always beautiful. Drove over to Basse Terre one day to explore the volcano. The roads are good, the driving was comfortable and there was always a fresh baguette to buy! We highly recommend this house and Guadeloupe.
