If you are considering visiting Martinique, look no further! Our family of five just returned from an absolutely wonderful vacation. Sylvie and Christopher were friendly and welcoming, had great advice, and were just a pleasure. Rue du Surf is a charming beachside community, very safe, with plenty of happy surfers. Their home is beautiful - updated kitchen, well maintained, private back yard with a pool and colorful landscaping and just a very comfortable place to relax and enjoy. There are two bedrooms on the main floor (queen and one with two twins) and a master suite with a king size bed and it’s own bathroom upstairs with brilliant ocean views. It is the best location to Tartan’s well known surfing beach - less than 100 yards before you touch the water, with a surf shop three doors down that offers lessons. We were also pleasantly surprised to hear that the property abuts a national park, with a delightful network of trails including one to a lighthouse with breathtaking views.
When you visit, be sure to rent a car. Once at the house, outdoor activities can all be reached by foot but a car is needed for shopping and there is a dedicated parking space. If you have never visited Martinique, the roads are better than many areas of mainland US - much better than other Caribbean islands.
Hope this review persuades you to consider a visit, send our new friends in Martinique a warm bon jour, and have a wonderful stay!
