Villa El Desert, right on the water

You'll find a kayak on site at this pet-friendly vacation home. Martinique Regional Nature Park is just steps away and Plage de l'Anse Mabouyas is within an easy 6-minute walk, so leave your car at the property, which offers onsite parking.

Once you get back, you can enjoy your surroundings with the garden and BBQ grill. For a change of scenery, come inside and enjoy the WiFi, TV, and stereo.

As you settle into the place, you'll find air conditioning and a desk. Prepare a home-cooked meal in the kitchen, complete with an oven, a stovetop, and a refrigerator, as well as a coffee maker, a microwave, and cookware. And because there's a washer and dryer, you can go a bit lighter on your packing.
