Great spot on the water!
Very good location, as there are hiking trails nearby, and close proximity to Anse Marcel, Orient and Grand Case, to enjoy the beaches and the food. The scenery from the back patio/pool, overlooking the water, was exceptional. With Pinel island, just right there you can take a short kayak ride (provided). Latetia, was very responsive and helpful. We would definitely come back!

Very nice location for quiet stay in St.Martin. Rental Car is a must. Drive from the airport at rush hour (4 to 6 PM) will exceed a hour for just under 9 miles. Hostess Sabrina met us at the villa and provided an excellent tour of the property and advice on locations to visit. Check out was easy as well. AC is only in the bedrooms, Ceiling fans in all rooms though. Pool is very relaxing and a great place to soak up the sun! Kayak or use the water taxi to Pinel Island. Grad Case is about a 10 min drive with lots of waterfront restaurants and shopping. Orient Bay is also about 10 minute drive. Overall Great Relaxing stay and would recommend it for those not wanting the "resort hassle"

Open-Air Natural Home
We stayed in Cul-de-sac in July of this year and had a great time exploring the hidden beaches all around the island. We were given directions to find the house- thank goodness because google maps did not load the whole week- that was tucked away and a grocery store was a few minutes drive (be prepared to use Google translate as most labels are in French). The bedrooms were very clean, had working A/C, and were comfortable to sleep in at night. The master bathroom is also a cool touch to the home- very natural and detailed. The living space, kitchen, and hall bath were open air only, so it got warm in those spaces but we weren’t at the house much during the day and it felt much better at night. The pool was apparently treated a few days before our arrival, but we did not use that space. The host has her sister that lives close by to help if you need any assistance during your stay. I will note that we had issues with power outages that were impacting the whole island that were not expected before we booked (this was obviously of control of the host and she was willing to cater to our needs and understanding of the problem - but be aware and do your research about the island). The home gave very open and welcoming vibes- Thank you.

Beautiful place
We loved the views and proximity to Pinel island. Host was very friendly and responsive. There were no bugs (altho a few tiny ants will find their way into the kitchen if food is left out) as one reviewer claimed. The pool was very clean and is maintained weekly. Beds were comfortable. I wish there was air conditioning in the living room (all bedrooms had air). Also would prefer some windows in the garage-like doors in the living room, but we tend to go to bed early. Opening up these large doors to view the water in the mornings was wonderful.

Fantastic home exactly as advertised
Stay here if you want a location away from the crowds a bit and right on the ocean. Pinel Beach is a short kayak ride away, and to the north is Anse Marcel beach which is fantastic and has a great hiking trail nearby. A car rental makes this location great with easy car access, and nothing on the island is far away. Good access to Grand Case and Orient - two fabulous areas. Can't say enough good about this one and hope to go back soon! Thank you to Laetita, our hostess' sister for looking after us!

A Magical Week in Paradise!!
We all enjoyed our first week of December 2023 at this wonderful Villa. The view is spectacular (even better than the pictures) and we truly loved relaxing on the comfy lounge chairs overlooking the Caribbean Sea and taking dips in the lovely pool! The furnishings were so unique and rustic and all 3 beds were very comfortable! Air conditioning in the bedrooms worked great and we all slept very well!
We rented a car and was able to enjoy the nearby beaches, restaurants and grocery shopping. The owner’s sister Laetitia greeted us when we arrived and was very helpful and kind. Overall, I would highly recommend this little piece of paradise and hope to return someday.

Romantic Bungalow with Beautiful Views
Overall very enjoyable 2 weeks at Ma Cabane and fantastic communication and assistance with the owner and her sister, who was our local contact on the island.
The Positives: The location is convenient to Orient Beach, Anse Marcel and Grand Case, but you are able to feel a bit removed from the traffic and noise. We felt very safe in the area and in the home. The pool is perfect, the kayaks were a nice touch to be able to go to Pinel and stay after all the tourists were gone. Outdoor shower is always a plus. Decoration was fun and tropical. The kitchen is well appointed if you like to cook.
What we wish was different/better: As we were there in August, the main part of the house was very hot. There are no glass doors, so you either have the house open, or you have to close the storm shutters, which makes the house very dark. It would be nice if they had some glass doors inside the storm shutters and added an air conditioner for the main area of the house, so you could keep it comfortable while enjoying the beautiful view, especially as the general breeze is coming from the side more than the front of the house, so not much air is moving through the house as with homes we have rented in the past on Orient Bay where they mainly face into the wind. Also, the 2nd bathroom is in the part of the house with no A/C and has an opening above the shower into the main room. It means less privacy and that bathroom remains hot when the main house is hot.

Summer vacation
First of all the views are absolutely amazing and the pictures are exactly what the property looks like. Our property manager was Corinne as the normal manager was out of town. Corinne was amazing. She responded and helped up immediately with all of our problems. Now comes all the bad things with the house…..There is no air conditioning in the main part of the house. Only the bedrooms have air conditioners and the one in the master never really cooled the room down. There is only electric storm doors for the doors to house. No windows at all in the kitchen or living room so you have no view or access outside unless you open these doors. There are a thousand mosquitoes at all times and no way of shutting them out unless you shut the doors then you have no windows or light coming into the house. It was so very hot with no air conditioning especially when the doors are closed. So it’s either have a breeze and mosquitoes or sweltering hot and no view. The electricity shut off one day while the doors were shut so we had NO WAY of getting out as all the windows in the bedroom also had these storm shutters. Next on the list is the extremely green algae filled pool. We were never able to use it because it was so green. The pool guy never added any chemicals to clear it up. We have a pool at our own house and know what algae looks like. We also dealt with roaches in both bathrooms every day (very large ones) and a million ants in the kitchen. We couldn’t cook because of the ants.

A piece of paradise that l hope to return to!
The Villa was exactly as portrayed in reviews. We could hardly drag ourselves away. The directions from the airport were exact. The hostess was gracious, met us at apartment with lovely cold beverages and explained all we needed to know. We enjoyed kayaking off the property, visited beaches, shopped etc. There is adequate snorkeling eqt in a closet. We were able to see beautiful fish and turtles! The pool was so refreshing. Bedrooms were so cool with air conditioning. The kitchen was fully equipted. Absolutely a wonderful week in a time warp. Pinel is close enough to kayak to for reasonably fit peeps. We frequented the French Bakery daily and bought rum from the local rum tasting business. Local grocery store has anything and everything that you can desire. Orient BEACH was so close and we had an incredible day at Aloha. Ask to have your umbrella and beach chairs included in your lunch. Enjoy the iguanas, local goats and donkeys, gorgeous birds and nature. Once you arrive you will be hesitant to leave. Our family enjoyed this beautiful open air villa and look fittest to returning. Thank you!

Fabulous coastal house on picturesque bay
This house is just like the pictures show you! Every morning we (my husband and I, plus another couple) opened 2 electronic garage size shutters to a fabulous view of a bay. The kitchen/living area opened to a covered patio. This gave us shade when we wanted - otherwise we were on the wooden deck, in a very well kept pool, lounging in the sun!
The decor was fantastic with drift wood and coastal colors. The kitchen had all types of utensils, small appliances, dishes you need plus a washing machine. Very clean modern comfortable furniture, great stereo system, 3 airconditioned bedrooms and 2 unique bathrooms with walk-in showers.
The location was great - less than10 min drive to very large grocery store, pharmacy, car rental (GreenMotion) and phone store (Digicil) where you could buy a SIM card.
Four kayaks were available to navigate the shallow waters to Pinel Island or a nice sand bar in middle of the bay. Driving to Orient Bay or Grand Case for restaurants (food everywhere was excellent) is about 10-15 minutes depending on traffic which was the only drawback of the island. Recommend a car - not a very good "walking" island.
The local manager was readily available by phone and text. Only suggestion is larger/thicker cushions for dining chairs and benches plus extra bath towels available in closets. Really, that's it! My husband & I rented our beach house in the Bahamas so we know what it takes to make a house functional for guests as well as stylish! Thank YOU! A+++

Beautiful place, great location
We had an amazing time at La Cabane. It was comfortable and very well appointed. One can absolutely not beat the view from the living areas, with access to the pool and the ocean right off the property. There was plenty of space to sit everywhere including multiple hammocks and hammock chairs; we moved a couple outdoor chairs indoors to watch tv and to hang out in the evenings in order to better accommodate all 6 of us. The beds were comfortable and there was plenty of space to unpack and tuck away all our luggage in the bedrooms. The blinds in the rooms are a marvel, sliding into the window pane and out of sight at the touch of a button.
A few tips:
1. There is a shop (The Scuba Shop) right by the airport with snorkeling gear for $10 a day and $30 for the week. Easy to pick up and drop off on the way on and off the island. That said, there is also snorkeling gear in the baskets over the washing machine in the home, along with a large backpack to carry it all in. Also, a basket full of MANY reef friendly sunblock options on the shelf under the coffee table in the living room at the house.
2. On exiting the home at the top of the driveway, if you turn right instead of left there is a nice little hike a few blocks away through a nature preserve with gorgeous views (and horses, and donkeys!) and a little beach on the far end as well.
3. Super U is a great grocery a short drive from the house with anything you could possibly need. The house has reusable bags hanging in the laundry space (or, you can buy them at the store). The house kitchen is super well equipped with appliances including coffee pot, keurig, blenders and more.
4. Definitely recommend taking the kayaks or nearby ferry to Pinel island to eat and snorkel. Lots of fish and turtles in the cove there.
5. The food is wonderful, especially on the French side of the island. We walked to Le Garden for a lovely meal and also enjoyed Rainbow Cafe and Captain Frenchy's in Grande Case, just a short drive from La Cabane.
6. Our favorite beach was Indigo bay which had a nice restaurant with a great view.
We had such a fun and relaxing stay in La Cabane, would stay here all over again if we came back. We wish we were still there!!!
(One last tip: everywhere you go there are orange/yellow/green trash containers but at the time of our trip they were mostly unlabeled, so fyi: The orange is for general trash, yellow is for aluminum/ steel/ paper/plastic, and the green is for glass)

This might have been one of our favorite vacations ever and we travel a lot! ❤️. The house was clean, the view was more than spectacular and the host was fantastic and responsive.... Plus it feels so private! Being able to watch the sunrise over Pinel was the perfect way to start the morning. The location is excellent and just a short drive to Orient and Grand Case where your options for amazing food/drinks are endless it seems. There is also a grocery store, bakery, pharmacy, shopping etc within a short driving distance as well. It's also very close to the Petite Caye hike and just a short kayak to Pinel Island. The private pool was nice in the afternoons. The breeze with the doors open was incredible. We loved all of the outside seating and the hammocks, the beautiful flowers on the walkway in etc.. I could go on and on about all the nice things about this place.
You guys- I have been back a week and I miss this vacation house so much already. This is a wonderful place to stay and we can't wait to go back. ❤️ Just book it already - you won't regret it!

Relaxing Getaway
My family of 5 adults had a lovely week celebrating New Years at Ma Cabane! The location was peaceful in a quiet neighborhood with beautiful homes all around. We loved spending the day lounging by the pool and taking the kayaks out around the bay(lots of turtles to see!). Our favorite thing was kayaking to pinel island and renting beach chairs at Karibuni for the day, and having lunch at the great restaurant, based on all the other reviews- we went multiple times! We also loved checking out the beaches at anse marcel and orient bay which are only 5 minute drives away. You definitely need a rental car but it was so easy to drive around the island, with most places under 20 minutes away. We ate at the local restaurant down the street, Hercule, and had a delicious creole meal and loved getting pastries or sandwiches at French Bakery. Also nextdoor was, Governuer the local rum distillery where you can do tastings. Our favorite meal was at Le Pressoir, a 10 minute drive away in Grand Case with a nice town to walk around! We would definitely recommend staying at this lovely home, it had all the amenities we needed for a relaxing vacation!
