A simple, breezy villa with traditional Caribbean decor is the sparkling sea views is the stuff of vacation fantasy. And that is exactly what you will find at Maison Dodo (DOD) - the easy, inviting character that makes you feel at home from the moment you arrive.

Maison Dodo is a tranquil rental home in Pointe Milou, conveniently close to the Christopher Hotel. It is a luxury property, but in a quiet way. Perhaps the wide views from the terrace are its greatest advantage. Inside, it feels very classic, with slatted door and a whitewashed vaulted ceiling. Decorative pieces based on fish and seashells hang on the walls.

The two bedrooms are on opposite sides of the living room, and the kitchen is behind it. It has plentiful, comfortable seating. This makes the laid-back living area the central gathering place in the house, whether you rent it as a family with children or as two couples traveling together.

The two bedrooms are fairly equal in size. Each has a European king bed, an ensuite bathroom, and screened glass doors that provide direct access to the terrace. The terrace itself has a swimming pool with steps, sun beds, and a dining table with four chairs, which can be shaded from the bright sun.
