Recently returned from two-week vacation in Guadeloupe and stayed at Gite Courbaril where I am a regular and repeat customer. I rented the bottom unit of a lovely two-story home located in a residential neighborhood conveniently close to St. Anne which has one of the loveliest beaches in Guadeloupe. Home is subdivided into 3 individual units which are spacious and have separate entrances. I have had both the studio and larger end-unit when family arrived. All units have kitchenettes and living space is ample. Units are clean, modern, and well-maintained and each has a pretty patio surrounded by a tropical garden. Rooms are well ventilated and have AC. Parking is on street. Owners, Claude and Marie-Hélène, are gracious, hospitable, and speak English. There is a patisserie, pharmacy and grocery store within walking distance. The town center of St. Anne is a short 8 minute drive, as well as the beach and water sport activities including kite boarding and windsurfing. There are many exceptional restaurants featuring local cuisine with a French flair bordering the beach front. Gite Coubaril is a 20 minute driving distance to ferries departing from St. Francois for destination day-trips to La Desirade, Marie Galante and Terre de Haut. All and all, Gite Courbaril, St. Anne, is great destination for families, couples with small children, and singles looking for a relaxing vacation on a French Caribbean island with a spark of adventure. For those who wish to stay connected WiFi is available and free for guests. Arrangements for airport transfer or car rental are available.
