Great location and accommodation. Hosts very helpful and responded to questions quickly. Had a fantastic week. Thanks for the early check in. After a 12 hour drive it was very welcomed.
The house was just perfect for us. Well equipped and stylish, in a quiet location, close to the beach and the town. The host was easy to communicate with and everything was as promised. I’d highly recommend it.
This beautiful property is in a quiet location with comfortable beds and we had excellent response times from the host when we had queries. A short walk to the beach and the pretty town of St Marie de Re.
Quiet, perfect location, just a few minutes walk to the beach and shops. Beds were comfortable, pool was heavenly, everything very clean and tidy, well equipped. Quick responses if we had any queries. The only slight issue was that bed covers, towels, tea towels, washing up liquid, toilet roll, dishwasher tablets were not provided. Not something we were used to in a high end rental. However I would highly recommend, and would definitely stay again.

hello, many thanks for your comments.
I am very sorry to read that washing up liquid, toilet roll, dishwasher tablets were not provided as it is normaly the case
You should hve contact us at the beginning of your stay stay and such oversight of the cleaner would have been corrected immediately.
If you're looking for a spacious and beautifully holiday rental with a peaceful ambiance on Île de Ré, look no further. This property exceeded our expectations and provided the perfect setting for a remarkable getaway. We had a truly wonderful time and can't wait to return.
A lot of space with an open kitchen. Everything you need available. Communication with the owner was very easy and comfortable. Thank you very much!

We loved our stay, the villa was perfect for our family with a young baby.
The pool area was very neat and tidy with lovely plants and great all day sunshine. The inside was very clean, kitchen well appointed with an additional terrace/outdoor table just off it and the bedrooms very comfortable.
We enjoyed the quiet location, slightly set back from the road, which made it very peaceful but still a short walk to the restaurants and town square. It’s also very close to the beach at the end of the road.
We would definitely stay again. The host was very helpful and quick to reply to any questions. We had a great holiday and would recommend this property.
We stayed for one week and enjoyed our time here. We’d already spent a week in La Courade and enjoyed our second week in this property benefiting from a quiet location away from main road traffic yet close to everything. The market is a few mins away for morning essentials and the beach equally a short walk. The property is lovely and spacious and the kitchen well stocked with what you need for utensils to prepare a meal. The pool is great and plenty of loungers and outdoor dining options so you can catch the sunshine through the whole day. The owner communicated well throughout and the check in and out was quick and easy. Linen we had to organise which we did thru Loc Linge and was easy but I would always prefer to have it all included as one less thing to arrange. But overall we were pleased with our stay and would recommend.
We stayed in Sainte-Marie-de-Ré as a family of five (16 years and up) and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The photos are not up to date, but they capture house, garden, and pool very well. Carine welcomed us in a friendly and uncomplicated manner. The house was clean and tidy, although there was a lot of junk in most of the drawers. We brought our own bed linens, towels, etc. (but you can also rent them on-site). Apparently, a previous tenant had damaged the pool's filtration system, so Carine and Francois were often on site to repair and maintain it. This bothered us a bit. However, the pool was very well-maintained and our absolute highlight of the house. The kitchen is even too well-equipped for my taste: e.g. I would have preferred fewer knives, but sharp instead, and more space for personal stuff. The master bedrooms have large wardrobes, filled with some extra duvets and stuff, but still offer plenty of storage space. The fourth (smallest) bedroom is only accessible via another bedroom or the terrace.The location is quiet, close to the village center and close to the beach (about a 5-minute walk). The beach is beautiful, uncrowded, and unguarded. At high tide, the water's edge is a wide strip of pebbles, so beach shoes would have made swimming more relaxing. Above this strip of pebbles is fine sand. At low tide, you walk over a continuous layer of stones with sharp edges, but the view towards the coast is marvelous then.We would definitely book the house again.

Dear Ulrike
Could you tell me which photos of the house you think are out of date? It would be very helpful to have a fresh perspective on the house so that we can take some new photos, because apart from new garden furniture and sun loungers on the decking, we have no memories of having made any other changes since we last made the photos.
We will follow your advice and sort the utensils and cutlery in the kitchen drawers. We appreciate your point of view and prefer to receive this (rather positive) feedback rather than having to deal with complaints about a kitchen equipped with only the bare minimum.
There was an electric knife sharpener in a drawer, but we will make sure that the knives will be sharpened for the next tenants.
We apologize for the frequent visits due to the pool filtration system being damaged by a previous tenant. Unfortunately, it takes time for the water to return to perfectly clear condition, and we were unable to completely resolve this issue during your stay.
regards
François
