DESHAIES, Guadeloupe
First year of rental: nested in the green exotic garden planted with trees and flowers, this Creole exotic wooden villa is located close to the village of Deshaies, a charming fishermen’s village. Its huge covered terrace overlooks the beach of Grande Anse, the most beautiful one in Basse-Terre. Around a large colonial living room, it offers 3 bedrooms (one of which has a toilet), a bathroom, and a fitted kitchen opening onto the covered terrace, where the living room and dining room are located. Bedroom 4 is located on the garden level. It has a private bathroom and opens directly onto the pool. An outdoor red wooden shower nested in the vegetation will give you the opportunity to play Robinson. Fences and gates secure the pool, which is surrounded by a huge deck. The environment is residential. The village and its shops are within 3 minutes by car and the beach within 10 minutes on foot. Rates are indicated with bedroom 4 included. A discount of € 150 to € 230 per (week according to the season) will apply for guests choosing the option without bedroom 4 (2/6 people). There is no Sargassum at all at the villa’s location on the Caribbean coast.
We so enjoyed our stay! The house is truly stunning - built in Creole style with lots of native woods. It was perfect for a family! We spent much of our time relaxing on the large covered veranda with a beautiful view of the tropical garden and the ocean beyond. There was also a great swimming pool and a delightful outdoor shower! The kitchen was very well equipped with everything we needed to prepare meals. It’s a short but very steep walk to the perfect Grand Anse beach with lovely waves to play in and fun beach restaurants for lunch. Thank you!
A beautiful villa in a wonderful area of Guadeloupe. We loved the Ti-Punch- Bar, the sunsets, feeding the birds and the tropical thunderstorms and rainbows were amazing. Fans in the bedrooms kept us cool at night and the mosquito nets kept us bug free. We needed bug spray at all times and burnt mosquito coils regularly during the day. The kitchen is very well equipped but we found the microwave/ combination oven/grill less responsive than a larger conventional oven. Our favourite restaurants in Deshaies were the Paradise Cafe and Le Madras. We used both supermarkets regularly but also found Eleclerc on the road to Sainte Rose had a larger selection of groceries. We visited the zoological and botanical gardens and Pigeon Islands, all were fantastic and also snorkelling just off the right hand side of the bay in Deshaies we saw 3 turtles and many giant starfish. We were told there can be as many as 20 turtles in the early morning. The waves at the beach’s were great fun although finding a parking space was somewhat difficult in the afternoon. We are a family of 4 with 2 teenage children and had a brilliant holiday in Isabelle’s delightful villa, we would highly recommend. .
Beautiful property in Deshaies in Gaudeloupe. The property is built in colonial style, so wooden doors and window shutters when open, allow a cool breeze to waft through the house. Veranda with a sea view was perfect for evening drinks. The hill where the property is located is very (very) steep and when renting a car, definitely get something with a good size engine and all mod cons (reversing camera etc.) which will be needed for any trip around Basse Terre. Philip the property manager was very accommodating and knowledgeable about the area. We did a boat trip with Philip and did a Dearth in Paradis etour with Pelican Safari tours whcih was well worth it. As this was low season, quite a lot of restaurants, shops and bars were not open so keep this in mind if travelling in June.
We couldn't have been happier with Isabelle's lovely home. Beautifully decorated and perfect location just outside of Deshaies and near Grand Anse. Every room opens up to the outside so it's just like being on the deck of a ship or a treehouse in the jungle. Host and the property manager were wonderful and made us feel very welcome and settled in. We will be back to stay in this house on our next trip to Guadeloupe. Highly recommend!!
This is an absolutely beautiful property -- a chance to live outdoors in a tropical paradise! The kitchen and living area are all on a beautiful outdoor veranda, surrounded by a garden filled with hummingbirds. The house is all wood, smells wonderful, and feels like a treehouse with amazing views of the ocean. Overall, I highly recommend staying here. The only issue we had is that we were three couples, and because the house is so open, I recommend it more for a single family with children. Also, as the house is in a tropical paradise, mosquitoes are a bit of an issue, so be sure to use bug spray at all times. Finally, the property manager, Philip, is part of what makes the property so great - he will be available at all times to make sure you have a wonderful stay.
We stayed in August 2018 as a family of six, plus friend, children aged 12 to 20, and the property was exactly as described, if not better. It is tastefully decorated and feels homely yet relaxed enough for a holiday. The views are amazing, especially at sunset and the area is my favourite in Guadeloupe. The owners were excellent in the booking and planning process and Philip handled every enquiry and question brilliantly on site. We were recommended to hire a car from Gwadloc and they were excellent too!
Beautiful, well-appointed, comfortable house with stunning views. A great way to experience Guadeloupe, its beaches and hikes, near the lovely town of Deshaies.
We spent New Year at Villa Maya and enjoyed every minute. This villa is outstanding. Perfectly designed so that the breeze blows through the house and the terrace shades you from the sun so you can sit outside and enjoy the views. It is set in tropical gardens and we spent a large part of our week watching and feeding the birds, especially the humming birds. The kitchen is well stocked, like a proper family kitchen rather than a rental house and we all loved the outdoor shower. Beware of the hill if you are renting a car! Very small engines with fully loaded car will struggle! Just perfect - hope to return!
We had a great time at the Villa. Daniel and Isabelle were very good host and provided everything we needed and even went to get an extra pack n play for our 2nd baby. They were very accomodating and nice. The villa is exactly like described and we enjoyed dinners and breakfast on the terrace. I highly recommend this place close to so many beaches. We liked the one right down the house (Grande Anse) but also a lot Petite Anse beach a few kms away.
This place is wonderful - beautiful wooden villa with tropical garden and an amazing view. We were 2 families staying there (4 adults and 4 children) and the place was just perfect us. We spent most of the time on the patio so the detached bedroom (on pool level) wasn't really a problem. The kitchen is very well equipped and served us well when we decided to cook. Every morning we went to Deshaies to buy freshly baked baguettes so our breakfast was a long meal. The beaches: Grande Anse and la Perle are really close and they are both beautiful. Plage de la Perle has bigger waves (and our children liked it). We also visited the other part of the island (Grande Terre) but we were really happy to choose Deshaies because it was less crowded, the beaches were so beautiful and Basse Terre is more lush. We got some nice advice from Philip - he is a great source of local knowledge. To summarize: beautiful location, clean and well equipped villa with amazing view and exotic garden. Highly recommended!
