    We had an amazing stay in Tartane! Sylvie and Chris were wonderful hosts – warm, welcoming, and always happy to share their tips about the area. The location is perfect, just a very short walk from a great surf spot. The house was peaceful, surrounded by nature, and we really appreciated the relaxed atmosphere. Tartane is a little gem, and thanks to Sylvie and Chris, we felt right at home. We’ll definitely be back!

    We had a wonderful stay at the studio. Sylvie and Christopher are very generous and discret. The location is excellent to acces the national park and the trails. We have access to a shared pool with the owners. The location is also very interesting to acces the surf beach a few steps down the street. The only thing was that I was confused when I reserved. I red it was a 3/2.5 house. In the reveiw, you can red that some people had acces to the room upstairs. It is not the case anymore. The location is a well equiped but small studio with a kitchenette.

    Absolutely loved staying here for a week. Did a solo vacation to somewhere I’ve never been. Sylvie was so incredibly kind and helpful, she gave so many tips about where to hike, eat and visit. The studio was so close to the beach it was nice to get to walk down and spend time on the sand or relax in the backyard area. The location was central to all the activities Martinique has to offer. I would love to come back again in the future to explore more. The lighthouse and cove are must visit spots very close to the house.

    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!

    My wife and I stayed at Surfside for our honeymoon and we weren't disappointed. The house had abundant amenities including air conditioning, pool, beach access, and walking distance to two restaurants. The hosts speak English, which is a tremendous help for American travelers who may be lacking in French language skills. Overall, it was a great stay and I would recommend it to anyone visiting Tartane.

    This house was amazing. My favorite VRBO I property I have ever stayed in. Everything in the house worked perfectly. The A/C's, the plumbing, the electric, and everything else you can think of. When we arrived the house was completely spotless. Cleaner than my own house. I mean sparkling clean. The beds are very comfortable.The decor and ambiance is stunning. Luxury surrounded by nature. I personally loved the location. It is about a 30 second walk to the beach. There is super fun surf in front of the house. Plenty of different waves to chose from. The town of La Trinite is an adorable town. Several great restaurants to dine at. Sylvie and Chris are wonderful hosts. The helped us late at night find the house when we were arriving. They made sure we knew where to go, what to do, and if we were comfortable. I have thought about Martinique every day since we have arrived home. I cannot wait to go back.

    We stayed at this property for 6 days in March 2018. The home is clean, maintained and well-appointed. A large deck with dining and seating areas is easily accessible from the living room and kitchen of the home through wide doorway which creates an open-air feel that is perfect for a beachfront experience. Each of the three bedrooms are served by powerful and quiet air conditioners to provide a comfortable sleeping environment. The beach is accessible from a footpath that is steps away from the home. I believe this is one of the nicer beaches on the island: it is large, clean and free from seaweed, which seems to plague some other beaches on Martinique. The homeowner, Sylvie was great. She was resident on the property, in a downstairs apartment to the home, but was in no way obtrusive. She was available (and helpful) if we had questions about the local area, but otherwise you would not know she is there. Overall, I felt this was perfect house for my family's beach escape to Martinique, and I would recommend it to anyone.
