Starting with the very friendly welcome by the owner and the other "good soul" of the property (Charlie), we were delighted with the spaciousness of the house and rooms. Everything we needed was there.
The location of the house directly on the sea is fantastic - it doesn't get any better than this. It was fantastic to walk directly from the deck chair into the warm water. The tide is out, so baths that make snorkelling possible are only available in the morning or late afternoon. However, as there are many other beaches on Mahè that invite snorkelling, this was not a problem for us. So we saw the ocean right in front of the door as our very big bathtub :-) There are 5 dogs on the property, but they are very trusting and lovable and made us feel safe. I will miss the dogs very much, especially "Sheba". My special thanks also go to Charlie, who was always very hard-working and thoroughly cleaned our entire house every 2 days, thus also ensuring a well-kept ambience on the property. He was always there to help and advise.
I can only recommend a stay at Beachvilla Escapade! There is no better way to relax if you value individuality and do not favour hotels.
The only negative point of criticism is the traffic on Mahè - the drivers seem very inconsiderate and impatient. In the dark, special care was needed, because there are hardly any pavements and people walk on the street and especially on bends, which are plentiful, you often only see the passers-by at the last moment. This was very exhausting and put the recreational value into perspective somewhat. I also find the bus drivers almost dangerous. But Beachvilla Escapade can't do anything about that, so this should not be included in my overall rating of the accommodation. Those who like daredevil driving or rent a very stable rental car may see this differently.
In any case, I would go on holiday at Beachvilla Escapade again! Thank you Begum, thank you Charlie.
