Marie-Galante, Guadeloupe (Textor)
This is one of koucou’s favorite spots, a tiny property run solicitously by an expat-turned-local named Kimberly. There are two cottages and a larger house on the property. The former two are rustic affairs, filled with cute, beachy bric-a-brac from Eleuthera and beyond. They’re bright and friendly and quite comfortable. There’s an outside bathroom and shower—the latter is ideal for getting well and truly in the spirit of the place—and the overall impression is delightful.
The guest cabins are located above Gregory Town’s bay, a short distance from a lovely nearby restaurant and bar. Cabins have access to a dock over the bay, where the water is remarkably clear and beautiful.
And, delightfully, three people can stay at Morgan’s Bonefish Harbour for $50 per night. Do your simple division: yes, it’s pretty remarkably inexpensive!
