The photos do this property NO justice. The apartment is so cute, and so well appointed: internet access, an entertainment system and flat television, a good sized kitchen, a comfortable living area, 2 cute bedrooms (the master has aircon), and a large, well lit bathroom. But we practically lived on that magnificent patio, which had a large, comfortable sofa, a dining set, a mosquito net and a breathtaking view of Plage du Coin. This apartment is a second floor walkup, so it may not be suitable for persons with mobility issues. It was perfect for our romantic getaway, and we would also choose this apartment if we were travelling with our children.

You are only a few yards from a nice, open stretch of beach, and the water is so warm! It is great for playing, relaxing or having a swim. Further down in both directions, Plage du Coin is full of charming bars and restaurants, but it was also an easy walk to the Carrefour Express, or a quick drive to the larger market in Saint Pierre for groceries (secure parking was included with this rental). We took most dinners at the lovely Le Petibonum, just a short walk down the beach. This was partly because we were so pleased with the food, drink and staff, and partly because we visited during the off season: many restaurants were only open for the weekend, but Le Petibonum was open every day. Plan accordingly if you do not wish to eat out, and make sure that you purchase your food and seasonings ahead of time. And for goodness sake, put everything away when you are not using it: ants are everywhere in Martinique, they cannot be avoided and they will find your food if you leave it sitting! François provides a secure box for bread and pastry, there are sealed containers for sugar next to the stove, and there is room in the refrigerator for anything that needs to be put away.
