Our love for the island of Martinique led us to renovate this villa into a place that retains its symbolism, authenticity and Creole character. The result is your future holiday rental in Martinique: Here is its story.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

When we visited the house for the first time in July 2020, our family of 3 teenagers and a couple imagined spending their holidays here, each with their own room and privacy.<\/p>

The house, built in tropical wood in 2001, has already been repainted in yellow and orange on the outside, and in pastel shades on the inside. The orange tiling at the time made it a typical Creole house, with its bean-shaped outdoor pool surrounded by Bavarian stone.<\/p>

The luxuriant vegetation in the garden around the house was already very much in evidence, with its old-fashioned lights bewitching us as soon as night fell.<\/p>

Sheltered from view on the terrace side, nestling behind a fence with a green canisse, the house was nevertheless very visible on the street side, with a simple, slightly faded wooden fence.<\/p>

That year we didn't reach a financial agreement with the owner to buy the house because we wanted to update it from top to bottom!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

On another visit to the island in February 2022, the house was still for sale, but as it was rented on a year-round basis, no investor had set his sights on it.<\/p>

When we couldn't find a \"palmier \u00e0 casa cr\u00e9ole\" and were looking for a 4-bedroom house with 2 water points for 18 months, we revisited the property and agreed the sale price with the owner.<\/p>

We were excited at the idea of bringing this house back to life by renovating it to our taste as if we were going to live there all year round, a little cocoon for us with the primary aim of giving pleasure to the holidaymakers who would occupy it on a seasonal basis. This was followed by long days of fine-tuning alterations, decorating and imagining furnishings from a distance, based on the meagre photos and videos taken in February.<\/p>

Having become the proud owners of this house on 5 August 2022, the existing tenants offered to leave on 15 September to bring forward their departure for mainland France, originally scheduled for June 2023.<\/p>

After a number of very friendly discussions with Isabelle and Pascal, it turns out that this house really was theirs, as they had it built in 2001.<\/p>

After selling the property and moving to mainland France, they returned to the island and rented out their former home.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

The house had 2 separate sleeping areas built around the living room, with 2 large 20 m\u00b2 bedrooms on one side, sharing a shower room in the middle, and 2 14 m\u00b2 bedrooms on the other, separated by a bathroom.<\/p>

The living room included a mezzanine, adding an extra 20 m\u00b2 room on the first floor used as a television room.<\/p>

The kitchen with its bright yellow and blue fronts and scullery were in very good condition. The covered terrace, accessible from the living room and kitchen, had garden furniture and a dining area.<\/p>

A step around it led to the Bavarian stone section surrounding the pool.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
