Swell Deshaies | Villa

The alarm on the pool helped keep the kids safe. I loved that there was a washer and dryer. The kitchen has everything we needed to cook for the week.

Very attentive service for every detail. Yes its a 10 minute walk to the beach but much longer slogging uphill back.....BUT the workout is rewarded by a dip in the beautiful pool!

Villa La Swell is a beautiful home with breathtaking views of the ocean. Everything in the home has been carefully planned with comfort in mind. There is ample space for large families to retreat to private quarters without bothering one another but also large meeting spaces to share family meals. The finishes are all high-end. The infinity pool is the perfect place to cool off and enjoy the amazing view. I felt like I was in a hilltop home in St. Tropez! Gorgeous. Highly recommended!

Villa Swell is gorgeous. It's brand new, very clean, has a beautiful pool and a lovely view of the water off the Grand Anse and the Deshaies harbor. The pictures seem to flatten the house somehow: it is both larger and nicer than the Ikea-catalog-style photos on the site. The beds and linens are new and comfortable the en-suite bathrooms are large, quite stylish, and have rain showers with plenty of hot water and the air conditioning in each room works perfectly. Every room has a sliding glass door with a screen that opens to a view of the bay. Two rooms have small, covered gardens adjacent to the bathroom. The upstairs bedroom has its own small terrace and a portal window. The kitchen is large and the appliances are new and work well. The huge sliding glass doors that open off the living room allow you to create an indoor/outdoor space with a view. We ate every meal on the large tables by the pool. There are plenty of comfortable chairs, loungers and towels. The washer/dryer is a nice touch. Wi-Fi is very fast. The house is a steep, 90-second drive up from the Grande Anse beach. We ventured to other parts of Guadeloupe, but this really is the most beautiful, least-crowded beach on the island. Deshaies is tiny, but charming, and it has a number of good restaurants, a bakery, a pharmacy, a doctor, and a small grocery store. A larger grocery store is only an 18-minute drive up the road. Concierge services are provided by Virginie, who is completely fantastic.
