Great location

We had a great time in Rifflet. The house is located at a wonderful beach with only few other visitors. The beach ist very good for swimming and the view from the terrace is wonderful and we enjoyed the sunsets from there. The house is simple but spacious and well equipped.

Perfect location; gracious hosts

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We loved being steps from the water and were lulled at night by the sound of the surf. It was a quiet neighborhood within a quick drive from the village of Deshaies, where we could get what we needed. Our host and her son were responsive and helpful - and patient with my halting French. We definitely recommend a stay here and will come back if we can!

Paradise on Earth. The best vacation house ever

This is a very uniquely situated property directly on the beach with panoramic views in all directions. It is like having your own private beach as there is rarely anyone on it, Stunning views of the sunset every night. Comfortable and well equipped.

Magnificent

The house is directly on the beach, the view is stunning, the deck has comfortable chaires. This beach is never crowded and very quite. There is a sandy part perfect for children, and rocky part perfect for snorkling. The most famous beaches, Perl and Grand anse are on tbe right and on the left, 10 minutes and 20 minutes walking distance. The trail to Grande anse is so beatiful! House has everything for cooking if you decide to cook at home. I cannot imagine the better place!

Great house in perfect location

The house is spacious with a huge well equipped kitchen and very nice outdoor area. It is located at a very nice beach which we almost had to ourselfs. You can also reach Grand Anse beach by foot. We were taken care of extremely well by Marie Line and her son. I would recommend this place to everyone! Thanks for a great stay

Holiday in paradise

We loved our stay at Gilberte’s , Marie Line’s and Yeli’s house on the beach . We spent a perfect holiday in paradise in glorious Guadeloupe. The house was clean and well presented in an outstanding location. We were greeted when we arrived by our wonderful host Marie Line . Her son Yeli was also charming and helpful. To sum it up , it was sublime and we have already booked to go back.

A rare treasure on the beach

This home is a Caribbean gem, filled with good vibrations, not only from the sound of the sea, but even more so from Yeli and and his Mom, Marie Line, who catered to our special needs and helped with all of our questions. Thank you!

Fantastic View & Peaceful Location.

The location is perfect, If you are a Death in Paradise fan, then this spot is closest to all the main filming locations. The house had AC in the bedrooms which made sleeping comfortable. The living area can be opened up on all sides to catch a breeze. We watched a turtle from the covered deck, that came up the beach to lay eggs right in front of us. The hosts were responsive to our communications. There is no cell service around the property but the WiFi is excellent. A car is definitely needed to stay here as grocery stores are about 10 to 15 minutes away.

Relaxing waterfront family vacation!

The other reviews were spot on. Superb location on a semi-private beach, snorkeling out front, often a cool breeze that helped with the mosquitos, felt safe/secure, and caretakers were friendly and available. Our 1 & 2 year old were well contained on the large fenced in patio, a high chair, two pack n plays (but one ended up sleeping under mosquito netting), and even a toddler wash bin for the shower. Hopefully future guests will be able to enjoy the inflatable toddler bedrails we left behind. There is even a kids' playground on way to Cherry's Pizza. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us!

Ein Paradies

Die Lage dieses Hauses direkt an einem schönen, kleinen Strand ist traumhaft. Wunderschöner Blick von der großen Terrasse auf das Meer.Unser Flug hatte sich verspĂ€tet, Ankunft an der Unterkunft erst gegen 1 Uhr morgens, sehr gute Kommunikatiom mit der Vermieterin, völlig problemloses Einchecken, In der KĂŒche war ein schöner Obstteller gerichtet mit Kaffee, so toll, da wir aufgrund der VerspĂ€tung nichts mehr einkaufen konnten. Die Unterkunft ist groß, die Einrichtung einfach gehalten, aber alles vorhanden, was man braucht. Jedes Zimmer mit eigenem Bad und Dusche ! Sehr nette und hilfsbereite Vermieter, wir wĂŒrden jederzeit wiederkommen, ich kann die Unterkunft wirklich empfehlen. Allerdings ist die Strömung am Strand sehr stark, also nicht wirklich fĂŒr kleine Kinder geeignet bzw stĂ€ndige Aufsicht vonnöten. Name der Unterkunft absolut passend !!
