Beachfront Creole villa with incredible ocean views and private plunge pool

The photos of the property are extremely outdated and do not reflect its current condition. The deck has deteriorated significantly and is in very poor shape, with the handrails being very shaky and barely holding on—seriously dangerous. The image showing the deck with multiple loungers should be removed because there are none.The images depicting the beaches are quite misleading; in particular, the photograph of the beach directly beneath the residence should be appropriately updated, as the sand has eroded significantly.The pool looked cloudy with strange green foam on top. I think this happened because the cleaner brushed off algae from the bottom and sides when we arrived. The view is gorgeous, but we couldn't really sit outside and enjoy it in the evening because of the mosquitoes. This was a shame because the house was an unbelievable furnace! So we were forced to stay in the two air-conditioned bedrooms to avoid the unbearably stifling heat of the rest of the house. The upstairs open loft bed was completely unusable due to the extreme heat. The two sofas in the lounge were extremely uncomfortable and badly in need of updating.The location description fails to adequately depict the extremely narrow road leading to the property, which can only be navigated by a very small vehicle. If you encounter another oncoming car, one must reverse to find a spot to squeeze past. The last part of the road leading to the house is very steep, and I would consider it unsuit

Lovely place in a great location with a nice view right by the water. Would have been great to have a second remote, so that two couples can move more independently.

What an amazing visit! We stayed with our family and had a wonderful time. The views are incredible and we were well taken care of. Definitely recommend renting a car. Special place!!

Secret place with everything you need to feel in paradise!

The location and views are spectacular and completely as described, sadly this is where it ends in the luxury section, the pictures of the property are very old, and not representative of the current state of maintenance. We found the entire property to be lacking and all issues mentioned by a very few other travelers to be correct. On arrival we were told that the shower in one bathroom was not functioning - this was a major let down, and as it had been a problem for a while, we should have been informed in advance and given the opportunity to cancel and book elsewhere. The upper patio was wonderful with spectacular views and good furniture, but the stairs to the lower deck, and the deck itself was deteriorating and the handrails were rickety and a health hazard. The nice deck furniture from the pictures have been replaced by plastic sunbeds and chairs. The pool was a disaster - the overflow system was not used so the surface was dirty, and the pool was murky and with algae growing. The furniture inside were not luxurious at all - beds are not true king size but doubles, but OK comfortable. There were lots of other issues - no hand soap, only limited drinking water provided, only small amount of shampoo available. Our greatest shock was discussing the failures with the host, and being offered compensation, provided we did not leave a negative review ! This we reported to VRBO, and this might explain the continuing positive reviews, on this outdated and overpriced property.

Amazing property in all respects and excellent interactions with the owner, property managers, cleaners etc. Would highly recommend. Only slight caution would be for a family with small children--would need to be supervised as the pool is in a beautiful but elevated position and the beach/coral next to the house can be a little challenging to swim in when the sea is rough (we were there in the windy season), but our teenage children loved it!

Very good

We were unable to travel to Praslin for very sad personal reasons and asked for a voucher instead. However, the owner was not willing to help us.

The house and property are gorgeous. Once you arrive you do not want to leave. When you enter it is difficult to know where to look. The doors are open with an expansive ocean view and the most photogenic little island just to the left. The white walls of the house are covered with original oil paintings, most by local artists. The house is, literally, at the end of the road.. very private, on single track road which requires careful navigation. There is some of the best snorkeling I have experienced just down the steps from the house. The fish were exquisite but it was the vast variety of clean, colorful and unbroken coral that fascinated me. We cooked several dinners in to the enjoy the home and ocean view. The kitchen was fully equipped. There are many games for evening entertainment and the A/C in the bedrooms was a welcome relief. It is the tropics so expect heat, humidity, a few bugs, cute skinks and geckos. The skinks and geckos are another source of entertainment. We spent hours in the pool enjoying the view. It is the best spot on the island, in my opinion. It is very easy to explore the rest of the island and La Digue, from here, before returning back to the peace and quiet at the end of the road. The host was easy to communicate with and answered all my questions promptly. When we arrived there was little welcome pack of island treats, which we enjoyed.

The house and the garden were very nice. House and terrace had good facilities. The view was amazing.
