Large villa with great views from upper deck, amazing sunsets. Best beach we have seen in Guadeloupe just steps below villa with amazing snorkelling right off the beach.
Villa is in a good location, very close to Deshaies ( if you are planning to visit âDeath in Paradiseâ filming location).
There are several good places to eat nearby, one within walking distance. A bakery and a good takeaway pizza are also within walking distance.
The villa is spacious, clean, and right on the beach.
Air conditioning in the bedroom.
A bottle of wine was a nice touch .
This is the second time for my family in Guadeloupe and the second time we stay at Villa Nid. We love the villa, the placement of the villa, the fantastic view, the beach Leroux and the whole island! The villa is spacious (we are 7 adults), clean and has everything you need, including a small secret path directly form the villa to the beach (you can even walk barefoot) that will take you 1 minute. Franck is a great host who helps us if we need, in advance and during the stay.
We have booked this villa now for a third time for next year, and can't wait to be back!
"The Nest" is the perfect name for this lovely home. The decks sit right at the tree canopy level so watching the birds with the amazing backdrop of the Caribbean is hours of delight. Although right on the road, it is well isolated and private. There is an easy short walk down to the beach which was never crowded, and was well suited for swimming and snorkeling. The house was clean and obviously well cared for; the kitchen has new appliances and is well supplied with dishes, and cooking utensils.
This is an excellent property. Lovely accommodations, a beautiful swimming pool, vistas, a private path to Leroux Beach, fully equipped kitchen, and very quiet. The sound of the ocean waves are soothing. The hostess Aude was exceptionally helpful from answering questions to referring us find William, Pelican Safari Tours, who provided transfers,tours, and friendship. Aude came by quickly when necessary. We would highly recommend Villa Le Nid and hope to return there in the future. Many thanks to Franck and Aude. Laraine and Tom Devins
This was a large, well equipped villa in a fabulous location. Just steps above the water.
The property had all amenities we could have asked for and the owner's representative was very helpful and responsive.
There is a short path from the property that leads down to the water. In 12 days on the island we were unable to find a beach that beat the one just steps from our back porch.
The location itself was perfect. Private, while at the same time just a short drive from towns to the north or south if we needed to find a restaurant or a shop.
This will definitely go down as one of the best properties we have found through VRBO.
Our family had a wonderful stay in Le Nid recently. The views and the sound of the sea are incredible. We had a few brief rain showers, and the rainbows over the Caribbean are not to be missed! The house is beautifully furnished and equipped, and immaculately clean. We enjoyed the air conditioning in the bedrooms; open windows in the living area made us feel part of the outdoors. The beach was never crowded; clear, warm water, white sand, shade from nearby trees, snorkeling--bliss! Franck was a gracious, friendly host, bringing us a cake and chocolates, as well as supplying wine, rum, and basics for our first breakfast. This was a memorable vacation for our whole family. Thank you Franck!
After reading the prior reviews of this rental I was skeptic about just how glowing those reviews were. Now, having stayed there with my husband for 5 days/nights in May, I can see why. The place is simply gorgeous! The ability to "open up" the entire living area to feel the breeze and hear the water below is mesmerizing. The little terrace quickly became our favorite spot for both coffee in the morning and a glass of wine in the evening. We found where the locals bring fish in from their boats just down the road and were able to grill fish purchased from them for dinner in the outdoor grill; and enjoyed swimming in the clear blue water of the little uncrowded beach just below the house, and also made some day trips to other parts of the island. The pool was refreshing , the beds comfortable, and the kitchen stocked with anything you would need. Frankly my only regret is that we had not brought our children and grandchildren with us to share the experience. Guess we will have to go back!
We very much enjoyed our stay at Le Nid. The property itself is great for families or medium sized groups. The living space is large and airy. The kitchen has all the stuff needed to cook a meal. The beds were adequate and AC made the bedrooms comfortable to sleep in. The outdoor spaces is what make this house special. There are so many outside sitting areas: the pool, the balcony off the LR and of course the super large upper terrace overlooking the beach below. Gorgeous through and through. We loved sharing the outdoors with the iguanas and the birds. We loved the sound of the waves down below. There are however some drawbacks to the place. The BIG one is the lack of A/C in the main living spaces. The place was so hot it was unbearable. The fans provided helped a bit but they were so loud and really didnât provide much comfort. It would be so much better to have a quiet AC unit in the living room. It would completely change the comfort level. Also, the kitchen needs improving: the fridge is not cooling properly, you can tell itâs old and not working right. The stove top has one area that doesnât work. The dishwasher is not the best either. Overall, the kitchen appliances definitely need to be repaired or replaced.
My family of six adults spent five days at "The Nest". From the open floor arrangement to the multiple areas for taking in the spectacular scenery to the air conditioned bed rooms it was perfect. It had all of the modern conveniences and very comfortable furnishings.
The house is located above a relatively small and uncrowded beautiful beach which is accessed by a short 5 minute walk down a fairly steep but manageable path.The views of the coastline, the ocean and the surrounding vegetation are spectacular. "The Nest is a short drive from Deshaies which has maintained its Caribbean charm and still has sufficient restaurants and shopping for time not spent at the beach.
Frank was an excellent host. He met us on arrival, familiarized us with the house and made sure we were comfortable before leaving. He also provided us with enough food and drink until we could go grocery shopping. He was very pleasant and wanted us to enjoy both his home and our vacation.
This was our first visit to the Caribbean and "The Nest" made it a truly memorable trip. The comfort, the views, the close proximity to the beach make it an ideal setting for enjoying a relaxing and fun vacation.
We were a family of 4 who stayed for 6 nights at Villa de la Nid. It was truly a beautiful place - and we don't say that about everywhere we've stayed! The house is spacious and you can open up the balcony, windows & doors to get a cross breeze of the tropics filling it. The deck above is huge, with incredible views over the ocean for the sunset. And a path from the outdoor shower area straight down to a gorgeous little beach made staying in feel like "going out".
The area is how we like it- low key, authentic and beautiful. Not a ton of tourist amenities (especially for Americans used to eating early dinners and having stores open 24/7!), but again, we found that part of its charm. It hasn't been "globalized" into some developers dream of a cookie-cutter beach resort. There's a very nice woman down the beach who has a bakery for pastries and French bread in the morning, and a little restaurant also within 5 min walking distance providing take out food (if you order early enough). Deshaies is less than 10 min drive north and has some very good places to eat, and hiking isn't far south of you at the national park.
To top if off, Franck was a terrific host and we enjoyed getting to know him and his wife at the end of our stay over nice drinks at the house. This is a family home that you can tell was built with love and is now shared with those lucky enough book it!
The place is situated above the beach, which you can walk to. It sits above a jungle cliff, literally on the edge. The place is spotless when you enter and is modern, airy and spacious, with very comfortable sheets and beds. From the rooftop patio, which is very large, you can see a view of a beautiful cove, even the mountains of Montserrat, in the distance. If you rent the upstairs unit, you get an additional small kitchen and access to this enormous rooftop patio. You can be in this house with several people and still find a quiet place, only for you.
The main kitchen is well equipped with everything you need. There are many places nearby to buy food, including fresh fish from local fishermen and pastry shops. It has very high ceilings and powerful air conditioning in all the bedrooms. Many doorways and entrances and spaces to explore. The charcoal bbq is easy to use. The pool is very private, safe and clean with a pump that is very quiet and runs 24/7.
Frank is a great host and he's very responsive. Any request will be answered and he will do everything he can to make your stay enjoyable. Heâs one of the best vrbo hosts. We love this place. You will too.
Traumhafte Lage und perfekte BetreuungDas Haus ist ideal gelegen, um alle AktivitĂ€ten rund um Basse-Terre zu planen. Die Lage ist ein absoluter Traum â direkt oberhalb des Meeres mit einem eigenen Zugang zum Strand.Der Kontakt mit Franck im Vorfeld sowie mit Aude, die das Haus vor Ort betreut, war jederzeit einwandfrei â sowohl vor der Anreise als auch beim Check-in und Check-out.Wir haben uns rundum wohlgefĂŒhlt. Die Ausstattung des Hauses lieĂ keine WĂŒnsche offen â es hat wirklich an nichts gefehlt.Einziger Hinweis: Pool- und StrandtĂŒcher werden nicht gestellt und sollten daher selbst mitgebracht werden.
The villa has a great construction with a big open area, a terrace in front of the living room and an additional giant terrace on the rooftop. The quiet and beautiful beach is directly in front of you, just a few nice tropical trees in front of you, and, also great to watch, some iguanas in the trees. Behind the houde, the tropical rain forrest starts. Thelocation could not be better! We had an amazing time here!
