Alan was a great host and was very helpful throughout the booking and check in process. The house is in a great location and is beautifully decorated and equipped with absolutely everything you could possibly need.

Nice house in a beautiful village. It’s great being so close to some good amenities. we hired bikes a 2mins walk from the house which again had really helpful staff who spoke good English and were very fair about the pricing (two people left earlier so they reduced the price) We found the people on ill de re to be the friendliest we have ever encountered in France and we have been many times!
The house itself is very modern and comfortable the roof top terrace is a particularly lovely place to relax. Alan was always very good at responding quickly with information to any queries.
Two people slept in the garden room ( we were 7 adults) this a nice room with en-suite but no fan/window so there was a lot of excess moisture after showering and warm at night with the only option to leave the sliding doors open.
As the house is right in the main square you can hear the church bells all night so difficult to leave the window open so I think if there in the main summer months you would need a fan in the room which I didn’t spot anywhere.
But these minor problems did not spoil our time in this lovely village and I would definitely stay again.

The house is just off the main square of Ars, close to the shops for early morning croissants and the beach for an early morning swim. The daily market is a short walk or cycle ride from the back gate.
The interior is modern and well designed and the house is very well equipped. The outdoor eating and sitting areas are excellent. Large comfy beds and good bathrooms. Light sleepers may have to keep the windows shut in the front bedroom as two lots of church bells ring throughout the night!
We think Ars is the best base from which to explore the island - not far from the best beach at Les Conches and within easy cycle ride of the wonderful all-day shellfish restaurants and St Martin.
