Remotely on a sandy beach with lots of character, at the mouth of a river, and surrounded by a state forest, the slowlife lodge Maison d'Ô Baie de Saint-Jacques offers our guests a wonderful experience, off the beaten track and away from the tourist flocks. The Petit Futé travel guide made no mistake when it selected us as the recommended accommodation in Sainte-Marie! Whether you're looking for timeless moments with family or friends, hiking, surfing or nature retreat, the Maison d'Ô Baie de Saint-Jacques is an excellent starting point for exploring another Martinique. The house is favored by the trade winds, so it's generally cooler and with fewer mosquitoes than elsewhere. Beautiful waves that are always active make it one of the few seaside sites not affected by the smell of sargassum. In true Creole spirit, the lodge lives in harmony with its surroundings: the sound of the waves, the shade of the trees, the large, ventilated terrace and the swimming pool are unceasing invitations to go outside for a relaxing or convivial moment. We must confess to a departure from the "slowlife" concept... We opted for Starlink, the best Internet operator available in Martinique: unlimited broadband - the ball's in your court! Originally conceived as our "dream house", refurbished in 2024, the house has four bedrooms (two large and two standard), and three bathrooms, totalling 10 sleeping arrangements (2 double beds and 6 single beds). The rooms on the first floor are accessible to disabled guests, including a large bedroom and spacious bathroom with walk-in shower. As you will be living inside screen sceneries, there is no television. A few books and board games are available. The beach is wild and never crowded because bathing there is dangerous: a guarantee of peacefulness. For a refreshing moment, enjoy the swimming pool, the river or one of the many beaches around (less than 15 min away). The pool, facing the sea, includes an area for toddlers. The hammock, in the shade of the catalpa trees, is very pleasant. We take care to communicate with you every step of the way, from booking to departure, and if you can think of anything missing for a near-perfect stay, please let us know!

Civilization is only 2 km away: a little supermarket, street vendors (fruits & vegetables, fresh fish...), doctor, drugstore, gas station, ATM, post office... There is also a square that is popular among local people, with a playground and street foods (pizzas, ice creams, food from Martinique or Haïti...).
There also are nice restaurants in our little town: Le Point de Vue, La Bananeraie, Le Saint-James et le Ti Punch Coco.
Martinique is a French Caribbean island with much to discover. It's a very charming mix of French and Caribbean cultures in a tropical jewel.
In Sainte-Marie, enjoy the beautiful Habitation La Salle, the Banana Museum, the Maison du Bèlè (bèlè is a tradionnal dance), the Saint-James Distillery and its Plantations Train. Further north, the JM Distillery is well worth a visit.
Part of the 2015 World Surf Championship took place 20 minutes away from the house, see <a href="https://www.worldsurfleague.com/events/2015/mqs/1228/martinique-surf-pro">https://www.worldsurfleague.co...</a>. Teachers are available for beginners. 
Most hiking tracks are located in the northern part of Martinique, with very diverse landscapes : mountain, rivers, tropical forests, peninsulas. In Sainte-Marie, we love the Tombolo track and the Reculée to Morne Bellevue track.
If you'd like to take a step further, we'll give you the contacts you need to plan a unique stay.

Maison d'Ô Baie de Saint-Jacques, on a wild beach

This was the perfect place for our trip. We were a group of 9, all colleagues from various places, who came together here to spend time, and enjoy the island.

The perfect place for our trip

Nous avons choisi cette belle maison pour son emplacement sauvage, au bord de l'océan, loin des côtes touristiques, et nous avons adoré! La maison est conviviale, très agréable à vivre et largement assez grande pour 2 familles. Les pièces sont spacieuses et aérées, les baies vitrées immenses permettent vraiment de vivre dehors tout le temps, et la piscine offre un vrai délassement en retour...de plage(!) ou de randonnée. Et le sol en béton poli...magnifique, offrant une touche à la fois brute comme les éléments et design comme on aime. Le propriétaire et la conciergerie sont a l'écoute et ont ainsi pu prendre note des petits désagréments inhérents aux locations pour les résoudre (par exemple, il y avait trop peu de casseroles et de couverts pour 8, ils nous en ont apporté, et les ventilateurs défaillants, pourtant neufs, ont été rapidement changés). Si nous devions revenir à la Martinique, nous reprendrions certainement cette maison, que nous avons eu du mal à quitter! Le top du top pour une location de cette qualité et de cet ordre de prix seraient des ventilateurs aux plafonds...mais c'est peut-être dans les projets? Au plaisir de revenir...

Conviviale, très agréable à vivre

Wir waren über eine Woche im Maison d'Ô und haben unseren kleinen Familienurlaub sehr genossen. Das Haus liegt abgeschieden und doch zentral für Ausflüge in der Umgebung.Hier und da bräuchte das Haus etwas mehr Aufmerksamkeit. Wir waren sehr zufrieden mit unserem Aufenthalt und der Ausstattung des ganzen Hauses.

Wir haben unseren Familienurlaub sehr genossen

Amazing place that i can recommend to everyone! Especially families. The closest house to the beach that i ever was. Big, spacious, quiet with pool perfect for kids and adults. It should get 5 stars, but it also needs some renovations, maybe AC (not a huge problem), and fixed electricity. So 4.5 stars should be perfect. If youre looking for a vaction house for fsmily and friends - good choice!
