OCEAN FRONT STUDIO APARTMENT 30 SECONDS FROM THE BEACH

Experience the charm of our cozy apartment here at Surfside Martinique, now available for rent on the stunning island of Martinique in the French West Indies. With breathtaking beaches right at your doorstep, you can easily indulge in surfing, hiking through lush national parks, and exploring the island's natural beauty—all from our prime location.

Here, convenience is key. Situated in the heart of the island, you’ll find yourself near all of the above, yet just minutes from the main highway, making it effortless to discover all that Martinique has to offer, both north and south.

Imagine waking up to the sound of the ocean, with the beach just steps away, alongside a sparkling saltwater pool for your relaxation. The beach invites you to swim, surf, and unwind in crystal-clear tidal pools, all set in a breathtaking natural landscape. Embrace the best of island life at our beautiful retreat!

At Surfside Martinique, indulge in the comfort of our cozy studio apartments set within a lush tropical garden. Experience the tranquil vibes of a Caribbean island getaway, complete with a shared saltwater pool and a stunning white sand beach just 30 steps away (yep, I counted every one!).

As the winter chill creeps in elsewhere, you can bask in the warmth here—no snow in sight! Plus, the island offers endless adventures, from vibrant markets to breathtaking hiking trails. Your perfect winter escape awaits!

PERFECT for larger groups too, Swim in the refreshing shared saltwater pool, or at the gorgeous white sand beach just 30 steps away (trust me, I’ve counted!). As winter approaches, leave the snow behind and embrace the warmth and beauty of Martinique. Your tropical paradise awaits!

Our apartments at Surfside Martinique are not just beautiful; they’re also incredibly comfortable and functional! With ample square footage interior and a large deck just outside your door, you’ll have plenty of room to relax and all the space you need to make the most of your Caribbean escape!

Absolutely! While Martinique may feel like a distant paradise, it boasts one of the best infrastructures in the Caribbean, thanks to its status as a French Department. You’ll find smooth, well-maintained roads that make exploring the island effortless.

In our small village of Tartane there are tiny grocery stores, a gas station, several restaurants and cafes and some small marches where you can buy local fruits and vegetables. You can also buy fresh fish daily caught by the fisherman of the village.

Need medical assistance? You’ll have access to top-notch hospitals and skilled doctors nearby. For everyday needs, supermarkets stocked with French delicacies and fine wines are just around the corner. And let’s not forget the local bakeries! Imagine indulging in flaky pain au chocolat or fresh baguettes just five minutes from your door for the perfect breakfast treat. It’s a little taste of France, right in the Caribbean!

Surfside Martinique is located at the very tip of the peninsula we call the "Caravelle" which is the French name used to describe the ships used by Christopher Columbus who discovered the island in 1502.

Directly in front of the apartment is our beach, which we lovingly call "Surfer's Beach", and as you can see from the pictures of the surf, it is a name well chosen, although it is not the only surf spot on the island. There are several other spots on the east coast and others on the northwest. We have surfboards to rent right here and can help set up lessons if you desire.

Just a few steps east of Surfside Martinique, you’ll discover the stunning nature preserve—an outdoor enthusiast's paradise! Hike through lush trails, where vibrant flora and fauna abound, and don’t miss the chance to unwind on secluded beaches that feel like your own private getaway. There are hikes for all levels in the preserve from 30 minutes to 3 hours.

Make sure to visit the iconic lighthouse, which offers breathtaking views of the coastline and endless blue waters. It’s the perfect spot for that Instagram-worthy photo!

And for a touch of history, explore Chateau Dubuc, the ancient ruins that tell the story of pioneering farming families. Imagine walking through the remnants of sugar cane plantations that once thrived, sending sweet exports to Europe. It’s a captivating blend of nature, adventure, and heritage, all right at your doorstep!

For hiking enthusiasts, Mount Pelée is a true gem! Standing at 1,397 meters, it offers trails that range from a few hours for a quick trek to all-day adventures for those seeking a challenge. The stunning views from the summit are a rewarding payoff, and the history of the 1902 eruption adds an exhilarating backdrop to your hike.

Don’t miss Fort-de-France, the vibrant current capital, where you can explore local shops like Roger Albert and soak in the lively atmosphere. The Schoelcher Library is a highlight—its stunning architecture by Gustave Eiffel makes it a must-see!

Head south to the picturesque beaches of Diamant and Sainte-Anne for a more laid-back experience, where you can lounge on soft white sand and swim in crystal-clear waters. If you venture west, you’ll find the striking black sand beaches and the historic town of St. Pierre, rich with remnants of its volcanic past.

And if you have questions or need tips, Christopher and Sylvie are your go-to locals! Whether it’s the best hiking trail or where to find tasty local cuisine, they’re always ready to help you make the most of your Martinique adventure!

Parfait !

Le studio et plus particulièrement sa terrasse sont très fonctionnels et agréables. Son emplacement permet de profiter de la plage (qui est à 10m) en toute tranquillité (sans avoir à prendre la voiture comme beaucoup d’hébergement dans le coin). Sylvie a été très disponible pendant tout notre séjour et à l’écoute de nos besoins. Si je devais revenir à Tartane, je réserverais une nouvelle fois ce studio qui nous a permis de passer d’excellentes vacances !

Un petit coin de paradis

Le studio est merveilleusement décoré. En fait c'est bien plus qu'un studio car il y a un espace salon et salle à manger à l'extérieur donnant vue sur un jardin magnifique. Accueil plus que chaleureux , tellement chaleureux que nous avons tout de suite regretté de n'avoir réservé que 4 nuits.... Détail d 'importance : Une plage de rêve se trouve à 1mn à pied du studio sans oublier les nombreuses randonnées possibles dans la réserve naturelle de la presqu'ile Le rêve !!

Perfect spot on the beach with great hosts and lots of charm!

My partner and I stayed at Sylvie and Christopher's for three days and were so happy there that we changed our travel plans to stay with them for three more. The studio is very charming, with clean sheets and towels and a very well laid out seating and dining areas both inside and out. Beautiful flowers and banana trees surround the deck and provide coverage for an outdoor shower, should you choose to take one. It's located in our favorite area of Tartane, the very last stop on the way to the Ruins on the D2. The studio is about thirty feet from the best surf beach on the island, where beginners are treated kindly by the more experienced surfers in the lineup. It's also just a quick three minute drive to our favorite restaurant in the area, Cocoa Beach Cafe. We spent our time hiking the ruins/private beaches on the coast of the Baie du Tresor, relaxing at Cocoa Beach and surfing the beach east of Anse L'Etang. Hiking the ruins sounded boring to us until we realized that the ruins aren't the main attraction. A one hour long walk spat us out onto a gorgeous private beach with very few people. The hosts are very kind and honestly kind of an inspirational couple. They built the house themselves and put a ton of work and heart into the design choices they've made. Christopher and Sylvie are both avid surfers and Sylvie offers massages and physical therapy consultation. My partner and I both optioned to have her help us with some old sports issues and she honestly made a difference for both of us. Can't stress enough how great our stay is. We plan to go back again in March and will absolutely be staying there if we are able to make it happen.

About the host

Hosted by christopher or Sylvie Schaefer

Host profile image
Christopher started traveling to Martinique to surf in 1978 and eventually met Sylvie, a local surfer girl, who he later married. They built the house of their dreams on the beach with the best surf break on the island and raised two beautiful children there. This surfing family now shares their time between Florida and Martinique, enjoying the best of two worlds. Now they are offering their beautiful studio to you for your enjoyment as a vacation rental. We live on the property and are available for help with anything you might need during your stay.

Why they chose this property

This property is the perfect place to get away from it all. For nature nuts, surfers, and lovers of the Caribbean it is a great place for a vacation that will live in your memories for a good long time. It is centrally located so travel times when site seeing are shorter, but far away from the big city. No need to rent several places for a few days at a time. Just come here and settle in and plan out your day trips for your stay. We will help as much as we can to steer you in the right direction and make sure you fill your days with nice things to see and do. The property has everything you need to have a wonderful vacation.

What makes this property unique

A comfortable, spacious, studio with an open floor plan where you can rest and relax on deck terraces. The studio is nestled in a small neighborhood and set in a beautiful garden surrounded by a privacy fence. It is less than a 1 minute walk to the beach and 5 minutes from a huge national park where you can hike and visit secluded beaches. The sound of the waves is enchanting and one reason why our guests come to Surfside Martinique - Studios, because our beach is the best place to surf on the island. Here you can learn to surf, and rent boards if you already know how. So in summary, you are located in the center of the island North and South, right on the beach, 5 minutes away from super hiking and nature, 5 minutes from our village Tartane with bars and restaurants, 15 minutes from the next large city Trinite where you have large stores and Banks, Hospital, Marches etc. It's really is the best place to be for experiencing Martinique, and, practicing or learning the sport of surfing, and experiencing nature and hiking. We've got it ALL!!!!!!!!
