About this property

Wild beach and pool, off the beaten tracks

Remotely on a sandy beach with lots of character, at the mouth of a river, and surrounded by a state forest, the slowlife lodge Maison d'Ô Baie de Saint-Jacques offers our guests a wonderful experience, off the beaten track and away from the tourist flocks.

The Petit Futé travel guide made no mistake when it selected us as the recommended accommodation in Sainte-Marie!

Whether you're looking for timeless moments with family or friends, hiking, surfing or nature retreat, the Maison d'Ô Baie de Saint-Jacques is an excellent starting point for exploring another Martinique.

The house is favored by the trade winds, so it's generally cooler and with fewer mosquitoes than elsewhere. Beautiful waves that are always active make it one of the few seaside sites not affected by the smell of sargassum.

In true Creole spirit, the lodge lives in harmony with its surroundings: the sound of the waves, the shade of the trees, the large, ventilated terrace and the swimming pool are unceasing invitations to go outside for a relaxing or convivial moment.

We must confess to a departure from the "slowlife" concept... We opted for Starlink, the best Internet operator available in Martinique: unlimited broadband - the ball's in your court!

Originally conceived as our "dream house", refurbished in 2024 (the colors are no longer those of the photos, but they're very pretty too), the house has four bedrooms (two large and two standard), and three bathrooms, totalling 10 sleeping arrangements (2 double beds and 6 single beds).

The rooms on the first floor are accessible to disabled guests, including a large bedroom and spacious bathroom with walk-in shower.

As you will be living inside screen sceneries, there is no television. A few books and board games are available.

The beach is wild and never crowded because bathing there is dangerous: a guarantee of peacefulness. For a refreshing moment, enjoy the swimming pool, the river or one of the many beaches around (less than 15 min away).

The pool, facing the sea, includes an area for toddlers. The hammock, in the shade of the catalpa trees, is very pleasant.

We take care to communicate with you every step of the way, from booking to departure, and if you can think of anything missing for a near-perfect stay, please let us know!


-------
Civilization is only 2 km away: a little supermarket, street vendors (fruits & vegetables, fresh fish...), doctor, drugstore, gas station, ATM, post office... There is also a square that is popular among local people, with a playground and street foods (pizzas, ice creams, food from Martinique or Haïti...).
There also are nice restaurants in our little town: Le Point de Vue, La Bananeraie, Le Saint-James et le Ti Punch Coco.
Martinique is a French Caribbean island with much to discover. It's a very charming mix of French and Caribbean cultures in a tropical jewel.
In Sainte-Marie, enjoy the beautiful Habitation La Salle, the Banana Museum, the Maison du Bèlè (bèlè is a tradionnal dance), the Saint-James Distillery and its Plantations Train. Further north, the JM Distillery is well worth a visit.
Part of the 2015 World Surf Championship took place 20 minutes away from the house, see https://www.worldsurfleague.co.... Teachers are available for beginners.
Most hiking tracks are located in the northern part of Martinique, with very diverse landscapes : mountain, rivers, tropical forests, peninsulas. In Sainte-Marie, we love the Tombolo track and the Reculée to Morne Bellevue track.
If you'd like to take a step further, we'll give you the contacts you need to plan a unique stay.

De belles fêtes de noël en famille
Nous avons passé un très bon séjour. La maison est très agréable, et le lieu nous à beaucoup plu. La vue face à la mer et aux palmiers est vraiment belle. Beaucoup de vent. Pas de vis à vis. , grande impression de liberté.

C’est ce que nous cherchions ❤️
Nous avons résidé à la maison d’Ô pendant 4 semaine et y avons fêté le nouvel an 2022. Le concept de la maison est unique, génial et l’emplacement extraordinaire. Par contre, la maison manque un peu d’amour et les moustiquaires suspendus pour la nuit sont absents dans 3 chambres sur 4. Car , il faut le dire, malgré le vent, des moustiques, il y en a. C’est fantastique de laisser le vent, constant, envahir l’endroit mais laissez toutes les portes de chambre fermées et utilisez les éventails la nuit. Le propriétaire en a mis à la disposition de tous. La piscine est fraîche et l’environnement très propice à la détente. Wi-fi efficace et toujours fonctionnel à l’intérieur. Régine s’occupe de nos petites demandes ou traças dans des délais fort raisonnables tout comme Nicolas qui a fait procéder à la réparation de petites défectuosités très rapidement . D’accord, ce n’est pas donné mais tout compte faits c’est ce que nous recherchions et nous avons aimé.

Calme et sérénité dans une très belle maison
A l’écart des classiques’ cette très belle maison permet de se ressourcer au bruit de l’océan et du vent dans les palmiers…

Little piece of paradise
Property as advertised, though descriptions cannot capture how peaceful property is, truly your own little piece of paradise. Nicolas and Alice were extremely helpful and responsive with tips or anything you need. The north end of the island is gorgeous, so different from the south, though Martinique is a real gem.

About the host

Hosted by Elizabeth

Host profile image
We have lots of dreams and four children - four girls. So we seldom get a chance to rest.

Alice is a speech therapist. Nicolas is an entrepreneur in the renewable energy sector.

It seems our four girls borrowed to the place their great deal of assertiveness and ardor for life.
