    Easily home from home. Spectacular property and Mr Robin is a wonderful host, thank you.

    • King Room with Pool View

    As an Englishman, a kettle in the room would have been nice but a kette is available in the communal kitchen along with 3 different types of oven and 3 gas hobs so not a big problem.

    Mr Robin has gone to great lengths to make the property feel like home, and it does. Beautifully clean and in a lovely setting. There is a great pool and ample parking for a hire car, which is recommended. My room, the King room was in such a nice position for privacy and the balcony was perfect for me. Highly recommended and Mr Robin is such a nice person and excellent host. Thank you for everything and for allowing me to share your beautiful property.

    As mentioned, ham and cheese portions a little small at breakfast. Stepping into the shower is a high step, so you need to be careful.

    If you are looking for a quiet spot, this is it. All you hear are beautiful birds, no traffic. Keep in mind having a car here is a must (or taxis), to get to stores and restaurants. Room was comfortable, AC worked great. The kitchen was large and available if we wanted to use it.Enough outlets for charging including bedside. Breakfast was OK. The bread and pastries are amazing, but the cheese and ham portion was a little on the light side. Good secure units with good parking. Best thing about it is Robin the host. Super friendly, helpful, and responsive!

    The room should have some mosquito nets or something similar. Besides that there's nothing major to complain about.

    The host was very accommodating, the property is in a quiet area, you can rent a car at the property at a very reasonable rate. I enjoyed my stay there.

    The owner Robin was very friendly and competent, helps in everything and his recommendations about the island‘s spot were practical. The room is big and clean, the pool well maintained, open gym, big kitchen, barbecue grill. The location is good if you exploring the south-west of the island.

    I loved the location, very quite, unlike the constant noise you get in the resorts. You need a car, but the host hires them, new cars, cheaper than my car rental. Nice breakfast. Super comfortable bed. Nice pool.

The location is ideal to visit the West and South of the Island. Everything was great. We are coming back for our next vacation in April.

    Finding the property is not easy at all… even with GPS. Its direction and number should be very visible from the street. Had to have the help of a very nice local man… turned around in the neighborhood before finally finding the Gîte du Bonheur! The access to the pool is not the easiest……

    The welcome, the size and good look of the room, cleanliness, the garden, the breakfast, the assistance.
