“Relaxing retreat”
It was fairly close on foot to 3 beaches I wanted to visit (Petite Anse, Anse Soleil and Anse Lazaire) There were a few supermarkets close by The villa itself was spacious, clean and view to the garden, I was able to see the fruit bats at sunset and even some geckos. A lot of nature surrounding the villa, so to be expected some unwanted visitors if you leave a window or door slightly opened for too long 😅 But I loved the quietness even being near the main road. The hosts were honestly so nice and welcoming.

We had a great stay here, very nice & comfortable house surrounded by lush green nature. Everything is provided to feel like at home, the balcony is wonderful & Anne Lise and her husband welcomed us very warmly. We also liked that the place is very private, the property rents 2 houses for guests and the location could not be better, you can find all you need close by. Thanks for all❤️

The small cabin was in the middle of the jungle which made our stay quite unique and fun. We also had a washing machine which was a big plus.

The appartment is perfect, feels like really jungle and has everything little you need. It's enjoyable you don't have to buy 1kilo of salt and sugar, that 2 scoops of detergent etc. That it is already there... The houseowner is very nice.

“Nice cottage with jungle sourrounding”
The cottage looks very nice and the view is nice from the terrace and from the bedroom. Is very big for a couple and we had everything that we needed. Very close to some good take aways and stores and to the most beautiful beaches from the island: Intendance, Soleil and Takamaka. The host is very friendly and so helpful

It's a perfectly equipped, cozy apartman (nice furnitures, kitchen, etc) surrounded by the forrest. The highlight is the balcony with a big bed where you can watch the forrest with the fruit bats. Definitely recommended.
