Gem XVIII siècle avec une vue magnifique sur le port

Nous avons passé un séjour de rêve dans ce très bel appartement. Se réchauffer devant un bon feu de cheminée après une longue promenade sur la côte sauvage tout en regardant les bateaux sortir du petit port de Saint Martin, que demander de mieux ! Peut être les délicieuses huitres du port de la Flotte ou les glaces et gauffres de la Martinière ?

Merci à notre hôte très accueillante pour ses bons conseils. On recommande !

This is a beautiful apartment set in the most spectacular position on the harbour, excellent in every way.

The owner was most helpful and flexible responding quickly to contact and most pleasant to deal with.

The detail of facilities within the apartment are of high quality and not lacking in any way. Plenty of kitchen equipment to enable food preparation and eating. With dishwasher, fridge and cooker with hot plate, however with so many fantastic restaurants so close at hand it is hard to justify cooking at all!

The bedrooms are most comfortable with good quality linen, the mezzanine room is low but at 6ft 2 we managed to come home without any head injury sustained. The bathroom is a good size with nicely spacious shower.

Ile de Ré is a beautiful island and deserves being fully explored, especially by bicycle along the safe and well posted cycle paths. The beaches are delightful with plenty of space for sunbathing and water sports.

This is our third visit to this special island and we will be back, and most definitely would book this apartment again.

The pictures accurately depict the property: it was clean & the cupboards are well stocked with all the day to day essentials - cutlery & dishwares, cooking supplies, cleaning supplies, iron, hair dryer, etc. The harbour is really lovely & the flat felt very secure, & was indeed filled with loads of natural light.

A few things that were of frustration to us ... the owner stated we would be informed of arrival information a few weeks in advance of our stay. I didn't receive this. I emailed her asking about bike rentals info & received no response. The day BEFORE our arrival I emailed & asked for arrival information - we received no response. We were left to to drive during peak time, 2 kids in tow, not knowing where we were staying or if someone would be there to let us in. I kept having to turn on my international data to check for a response which was never there. Finally we were able to get ahold of her via telephone after attempts to text failed, & she was pleasant enough but we really felt this was a lot of undue stress, & cost us undue expense.

Upon arriving we spent ages circling attempting to get to the inner harbour. Having no knowledge of the location we didn't know this was an impossible feat -- you need an access code to drive near the inner harbour. We parked as close as we could & carried everything (not pleasant with two small kids, and a months worth of stuff...) & stood awkwardly outside an UNADDRESSED apartment wondering if we had found the right place. We are shuffled into the apartment by a pleasant enough man (we were expecting a lady...) & given one key. We quickly realize we had no idea where we were to park for the week, how to dispose of garbage nor are we able to access wifi.

I'd specifically asked about parking & was told it was 5min away. There is a lot 5min away, it is 32 Euro A DAY. That adds a significant expense to the rental & after inquiring again we were told more accurately where it was which was more like 15min away & there is no access to the unit for dropping of luggage/groceries/children/etc. This was a major inconvenience to us & I wish it had been more clearly communicated.

Wifi - didn't work for half the week, when it did wasn't strong enough to even stream Netflix & would drop.

These inconveniences sound minor but on a vacation, esp with kids, you just don't want to be worried about them! I'd suggest 2 keys, better parking info & consistent wifi. It was a disappointing first VRBO experience

We had a perfect stay on the Ile de Re. This charming apartment is set on the top floor, with magnificent views over the picturesque Port of St Martin. We sat at the large windows in full western sunlight, watching the boats enter the port below us; it was as if we were sitting on a terrace, or in the crow’s nest of a ship! The apartment is lovely. Tastefully decorated and in perfect condition. We really appreciated the comfortable, high quality bedding and modern amenities. Our hostess was considerate and helped make our hassle free.

All in all, a perfect get away. From every window you see the ocean or port - you couldn’t ask for a more delightful vantage point. During the day we took in the wonderful nautical atmosphere of the port. At night we slept by the quiet rhythms of the sea.

We would go back to this little corner of paradise in a heartbeat!

We really enjoyed staying this apartment. The great location, over looking harbour and sea. We went out to sone brilliant restaurants near by. The market and artisan bakery are within couple minutes walk!
