Studio apartment just 30 seconds from a stunning beach - salt water pool



Experience the charm of our cozy apartment here at Surfside Martinique, now available for rent on the stunning island of Martinique in the French West Indies. With breathtaking beaches right at your doorstep, you can easily indulge in surfing, hiking through lush national parks, and exploring the island's natural beauty—all from our prime location.

Here, convenience is key. Situated in the heart of the island, you’ll find yourself near all of the above, yet just minutes from the main highway, making it effortless to discover all that Martinique has to offer, both north and south.

Imagine waking up to the sound of the ocean, with the beach just steps away, alongside a sparkling saltwater pool for your relaxation. The beach invites you to swim, surf, and unwind in crystal-clear tidal pools, all set in a breathtaking natural landscape. Embrace the best of island life at our beautiful retreat!

At Surfside Martinique, indulge in the comfort of our cozy studio apartments set within a lush tropical garden. Experience the tranquil vibes of a Caribbean island getaway, complete with a shared saltwater pool and a stunning white sand beach just 30 steps away (yep, I counted every one!).

As the winter chill creeps in elsewhere, you can bask in the warmth here—no snow in sight! Plus, the island offers endless adventures, from vibrant markets to breathtaking hiking trails. Your perfect winter escape awaits!

PERFECT for larger groups too, Swim in the refreshing shared saltwater pool, or at the gorgeous white sand beach just 30 steps away (trust me, I’ve counted!). As winter approaches, leave the snow behind and embrace the warmth and beauty of Martinique. Your tropical paradise awaits!

Our apartments at Surfside Martinique are not just beautiful; they’re also incredibly comfortable and functional! With ample square footage interior and a large deck just outside your door, you’ll have plenty of room to relax and all the space you need to make the most of your Caribbean escape!

Absolutely! While Martinique may feel like a distant paradise, it boasts one of the best infrastructures in the Caribbean, thanks to its status as a French Department. You’ll find smooth, well-maintained roads that make exploring the island effortless.

In our small village of Tartane there are tiny grocery stores, a gas station, several restaurants and cafes and some small marches where you can buy local fruits and vegetables. You can also buy fresh fish daily caught by the fisherman of the village.

Need medical assistance? You’ll have access to top-notch hospitals and skilled doctors nearby. For everyday needs, supermarkets stocked with French delicacies and fine wines are just around the corner. And let’s not forget the local bakeries! Imagine indulging in flaky pain au chocolat or fresh baguettes just five minutes from your door for the perfect breakfast treat. It’s a little taste of France, right in the Caribbean!

Surfside Martinique is located at the very tip of the peninsula we call the "Caravelle" which is the French name used to describe the ships used by Christopher Columbus who discovered the island in 1502.

Directly in front of the apartment is our beach, which we lovingly call "Surfer's Beach", and as you can see from the pictures of the surf, it is a name well chosen, although it is not the only surf spot on the island. There are several other spots on the east coast and others on the northwest. We have surfboards to rent right here and can help set up lessons if you desire.

Just a few steps east of Surfside Martinique, you’ll discover the stunning nature preserve—an outdoor enthusiast's paradise! Hike through lush trails, where vibrant flora and fauna abound, and don’t miss the chance to unwind on secluded beaches that feel like your own private getaway. There are hikes for all levels in the preserve from 30 minutes to 3 hours.

Make sure to visit the iconic lighthouse, which offers breathtaking views of the coastline and endless blue waters. It’s the perfect spot for that Instagram-worthy photo!

And for a touch of history, explore Chateau Dubuc, the ancient ruins that tell the story of pioneering farming families. Imagine walking through the remnants of sugar cane plantations that once thrived, sending sweet exports to Europe. It’s a captivating blend of nature, adventure, and heritage, all right at your doorstep!

For hiking enthusiasts, Mount Pelée is a true gem! Standing at 1,397 meters, it offers trails that range from a few hours for a quick trek to all-day adventures for those seeking a challenge. The stunning views from the summit are a rewarding payoff, and the history of the 1902 eruption adds an exhilarating backdrop to your hike.

Don’t miss Fort-de-France, the vibrant current capital, where you can explore local shops like Roger Albert and soak in the lively atmosphere. The Schoelcher Library is a highlight—its stunning architecture by Gustave Eiffel makes it a must-see!

Head south to the picturesque beaches of Diamant and Sainte-Anne for a more laid-back experience, where you can lounge on soft white sand and swim in crystal-clear waters. If you venture west, you’ll find the striking black sand beaches and the historic town of St. Pierre, rich with remnants of its volcanic past.

And if you have questions or need tips, Christopher and Sylvie are your go-to locals! Whether it’s the best hiking trail or where to find tasty local cuisine, they’re always ready to help you make the most of your Martinique adventure!

Amazing stay

We had an amazing stay in Tartane! Sylvie and Chris were wonderful hosts – warm, welcoming, and always happy to share their tips about the area. The location is perfect, just a very short walk from a great surf spot. The house was peaceful, surrounded by nature, and we really appreciated the relaxed atmosphere. Tartane is a little gem, and thanks to Sylvie and Chris, we felt right at home. We’ll definitely be back!

Wonderful and memorable

We had a wonderful stay at the studio. Sylvie and Christopher are very generous and discret. The location is excellent to acces the national park and the trails. We have access to a shared pool with the owners. The location is also very interesting to acces the "surf beach" a few steps down the street. The only thing was that I was confused when I reserved. I red it was a 3/2.5 house. In the reveiw, you can red that some people had acces to the room upstairs. It is not the case anymore. The location is a well equiped but small studio with a kitchenette.

Wonderful

Absolutely loved staying here for a week. Did a solo vacation to somewhere I’ve never been. Sylvie was so incredibly kind and helpful, she gave so many tips about where to hike, eat and visit. The studio was so close to the beach it was nice to get to walk down and spend time on the sand or relax in the backyard area. The location was central to all the activities Martinique has to offer. I would love to come back again in the future to explore more. The lighthouse and cove are must visit spots very close to the house.

Sehr schöne ruhige Lage

Die Vermieter wohnen oben drüber und waren immer sehr hilfsbereit. Es hat uns insgesamt gut gefallen. Ein paar kleine Anmerkungen möchte ich trotzdem hier angeben. Ein Parkplatz in der Nähe war nicht immer einfach zu finden. Das Badezimmer hat kein Fenster und keine Belüftung, alle Düfte und Dämpfe ziehen über die Schiebetür ins Wohnbereicht.

About the host

Hosted by SYLVIE OU CHRISTOPHER SCHAEFER

Host profile image
Christopher started traveling to Martinique to surf in 1978 and eventually met Sylvie, a local surfer girl, and they later married. They built the house of their dreams on the beach with the best surf break on the island and raised two beautiful children there. This surfing family now shares their time between Florida and Martinique, enjoying the best of two worlds. Now they are offering a bit of their beautiful home to you for your enjoyment as a vacation rental.

Why they chose this property

A great place for someone who wants to get away from it all and on a beach where you can surf, hike, and enjoy nature. For us those were the main reasons we bought our lot here and built in 1994. We could come home from work and feel we were on vacation ALL THE TIME!!!!
For a different vacation destination this is the place. The winter surf season in Martinique is great and has spots for all levels.

What makes this property unique

Surfside Martinique is an ocean front property with saltwater pool in a stunning location and optimally located so it is closer to just about everything unlike other properties located at the extreme North or South of the island. Is boasts a beautiful beach just steps from the front door and is on the border of the island's largest national park. So you can spend time on the beach, explore the national park, relax around the pool, and then leave some time for sightseeing. Enjoy.
