About this property

**OCEAN FRONT STUDIO APARTMENT- POOL**SURFING**HIKING**AMERICAN AIR DIRECT*****

DON'T TAKE ANOTHER VACATION TO THE SAME OLD PLACE!!!!! COME TO THE FRENCH CARIBBEAN !!!!!!!

COME TO MARTINIQUE! GO SURFING AT THE BEST SPOT ON THE ISLAND AND HIKE IN OUR NATIONAL PARK, VISIT THE ISLAND AND DRIVE THE BEST ROADS IN THE CARIBBEAN!!!!!!

**** FLY TO OUR BEAUTIFUL ISLAND VIA AMERICAN AIRLINES OR AIR FRANCE FROM MIAMI FLORIDA - OR FLY INTO PUERTO RICO ON YOUR WAY HERE********

Our comfortable apartment is now available for rent here on the beautiful island of Martinique in the French West Indies. ###For larger groups, two couples etc. 2 apartments can be rented together, which are linked by wood decking.### You'll love the Beaches right in front of the property, surfing, hiking in the national park, and just seeing this beautiful island can be done from our location.

While you are here at Surfside Studios you can enjoy the super comfortable studios apartment with a beautiful tropical garden, the tranquility of being on a tropical island in the middle of the Caribbean, a shared saltwater pool, and a gorgeous white sand beach just 30 steps away (I measured them personally!) Not to mention all of the island to see. The winter season is approaching and I don't have to tell you that it is nice and warm here, absolutely no snow!!!


WE PROVIDE DAILY ITINERARIES WE THINK ARE A GREAT CHOICE WHEN SEEING AND DOING THINGS ALL AROUND MARTINIQUE. WE'LL MAKE SURE YOU GET ONE TO ENHANCE YOUR EXPERIENCE HERE.


We have just totally refurbished the apartment with a new kitchen , and brand new appliances as well as all new kitchen accessories !!!!!!

It is super comfortable and functional. There is plenty of square footage, decking, and yard space to move around in.

It is super comfortable and functional. There is plenty of square footage, decking, and yard space to move around in. You will love the salt water pool as well as the view of it from the house. The pool is surrounded by a mix of red wood decking and clay tile, and flowers galore.

Come and experience a taste of France in the warm Caribbean. Part of the Windward Island chain and nestled between the islands of St. Lucia and Dominica, it sits about half way between North and South America, and is served by many major airlines.

Far away, yes but home to one of the best infrastructures in the Caribbean, as Martinique is still a French Department and benefits from that relationship. As a result we have great roads, hospitals, doctors, supermarkets, (with French foods and wine), and bakeries 5 minutes away for breakfast treats.

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.

It 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 house is our beach which we 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. In May of 2015,16 and now in 2017 Martinique has hosted a WQS surfing event at the surf break of Basse Pointe where some of the best surfers in the world competed. There is also a SURF SCHOOL within walking distance where you can learn to surf and if you already know how you can rent boards there.

Directly east, a few steps away, is the largest nature preserve on the island where you can hike and explore, visit secluded beaches, and discover the Light House with a view that will take your breath away and the Chateau Dubuc, the ancient ruins of farming family pioneers, who at one time owned the entire peninsula where they produced sugar cane for export to Europe.

There are hikes for all levels in the preserve from 30 minutes to 3 hours.

For hiking nuts, Mount PELE awaits to the north. It sits at an altitude of 1397 meters and is well known for its eruption in 1902 that destroyed the capital (at the time) of St. Pierre killing 30,000 inhabitants. Hikes near the volcano can range from a few hours to all day depending on your stamina. It's an unforgettable day trip.

You must also visit the current capital of historic Fort de France where there are shops like Roger Albert, and others as well as impressive sights to see. One is the Schoelcher library, designed and built by Gustave Eiffel the constructor of the Eiffel tower.

To the south are the beautiful beaches of Diamant and St. Anne offering a less mountainous version of Martinique, and white sand beaches. To the west are the black sand beaches of the Caribbean side of the island, and the town of St. Pierre, with all its history and volcanic ruins from the turn of the century.

****Christopher and Sylvie are always available for help with questions about where to go, what to do, and just about anything else you my need help with.

Séjour en couple
Nous avons passé un super séjour dans ce logement. Il est très bien équipé et très agréable. Nous avons particulièrement aimé la terrasse avec un jardin tropicale. Le logement est très bien situé pour les surfeurs, à quelques mètres d’un très bon spot. Les propriétaires sont très sympathiques et nous avons beaucoup apprécié notre séjour.

Séjour à Tartane
Très agréable séjour sur la presqu'île et dans notre logement à Tartane. Lieu authentique en pleine nature. Propriétaires très accueillants et sympathiques. Plage à deux pas, très tranquille et bercé par l'océan. Village à quelques kms aussi très bien avec plusieurs restaurants, une station essence et sa superette pratique pour les courses qui manquent et une boutique cadeaux souvenirs aussi très bien. Ravis de notre séjour!

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.

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, who he 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 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. You can surf on either side of the island, but the beach in front of the house is without a doubt the most consistent spot on the island. ****** AND NOW NORWEGIAN AIR OFFERS INCREDIBLE ROUND TRIP FARES FROM FORT LAUDERDALE, FLORIDA, NEW YORK - BOSTON - AND BALTIMORE FOR as little as $79.00 one way !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! These fares are unprecedented and a great reason to check out one of the French islands here that can offer such a nice experience for travelers.

What makes this property unique

A comfortable, spacious, home with an open floor plan where you can rest and relax on deck terraces or around the pool. The house is nestled in a small neighborhood at the end of the Caravelle Peninsula right on the beach and a short walk from our famous lighthouse.

This house has been recently updated with a brand new kitchen, cabinets, sink, all new appliances and granite counter tops. It is super functional, and really a cook's dream with everything you might need to create the perfect meal. We've redone the bathrooms, and purchased and/or made new furniture.

We've got brand new mattresses on every bed and a new split system air-conditioner in each bedroom.

The house is tastefully decorated and pleasing to the eye. You'll just love it we are sure!!!!!!!

It is less than a 1 minute walk to the beach and 5 minutes from a huge national park where you can hike and visit secluded beaches and get close to nature.

Go for a surf in the morning, and an evening walk through the forest. The next day just hang out at the beach or around the salt water pool on chaise lounges under the umbrella.

Do some sightseeing of Martinique. We have hands down the best roads in the Caribbean. New asphalt almost everywhere you go. Seriously, the most well to do island in the Windward islands and easy to drive on. Signage, and indications all clearly marked and helpful. We drive on the right side of the street no problem!

You'll have to by fresh fish here in our village and experience the Caribbean up close.

If you live near an airport that Norwegian Airlines serves go online and check out the rates. Look at the low fare calendar which will give you a great look at all the fares at once.
