Immaculate and Charming Cottage
Amazing little cottage in Saint Francoise. Clean, beautiful and private, situated on the owner's property but separate enough for privacy. The pool is right in front of the owner's house but it is stunning and you are never bothered. Herve couldn't have been more helpful and both he and Sylvie were charming hosts and so friendly. We arrived to find a charming breakfast spread in the fridge, a nice welcome.Disregard any warnings about dogs in the reviews. The two dogs were so laid back and quiet and more scared of us then we would ever be of them.
The neighborhood is a safe community with a great bakery down the street where we would go for our morning croissants and picnic lunch sandwiches. Two great supermarkets are a short drive away. The Marina area was the place to go for dining out and the food was superlative everywhere we went. I recommend the restaurant on the beach right past Planet Burger for lunch-can't remember the name off hand-La Plage?-good food and you can walk down to the beach from there. Every restaurant we went to for dinner in that area was amazing.
You need to know your French! I managed with my high school French but the language barrier through out the island is formidable-be prepared. People were very nice and helpful wherever we went but be prepared to find yourselves in stores and restaurants with no English speakers.
This is not a rustic Caribbean setting, this side of the island definitely caters to the European tourist set.I highly recommend this rental for people who enjoy a little affordable luxury in a Euro flavored vacation town.
