Very enjoyable stay!
My partner and I spent four nights (April 17-20, 2018) at this condo. It was exactly as represented on the website and we had a very enjoyable stay. Some specifics:
First, the condo is located within a hotel resort complex. About half of the buildings are dedicated to traditional hotel use and the other half are "Marina Residences". The main difference with the hotel rooms and the condo residences is that the condos have a small kitchenette on the balconies/terraces. The complex is charming, relatively well-maintained, very lush plantings and landscaping, two swimming pools, a restaurant & bar (we did not use either) and small area of sand with steps down into the ocean - not a traditional beach. We found the resort staff to be helpful and very tolerant of our poor French language skills. The area of Pointe du Bout is touristy, but we found it to be relaxing and discovered several nice restaurants & bars. The Village Creole shopping area with shops, restaurants and bars is only a three minute walk from the property via the marina area. There is a small grocery store in the Village Creole, a small pharmacy, a drop off laundry place, along with the other shops. We did not have a rental car for this trip, so having those type of businesses was very convenient.
The condo owner - Boris - is a very nice young man. He was responsive to my multiple emails in setting up our vacation. He met us at the condo to walk us through the operations of wifi (free, but sloooow), tv, air conditioning system, and other things at the condo. He met us on our check out day and there was no problem in getting the security deposit returned to us within about a week. He is a good HomeAway/VRBO owner and delightful to deal with.
The top-floor condo was clean, bug free - no mosquitoes or any crawly type insects, and comfortable. The bed was comfortable with nice sheets and pillows. Everything worked as it was supposed to and there was adequate closet and drawer space for the two of us. There is a queen-size bed and a single bed that doubles as a sitting area during the day. The condo was comfortable for two adults - three adults might feel cramped - and a child. The view from the balcony was wonderful - it overlooked the marina next door and we enjoyed watching the tourist boats (diving, fishing, dolphin watching) leave in the morning and come back in the afternoon. The small kitchenette has all you would need to fix simple meals.
We will stay here again!
