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.
