2. Ti Kaz Mer (from USD 67)
Some of the best vacation rentals can make you feel like never leaving, even just to go out in the area. That is the case with this guest suite, which comes with a tropical garden and outside shower to help you relax and prepare for the day. The Wi-Fi will allow you to watch your favorite shows and movies, in case the weather gets bad and you feel like staying in.
If you’re staying for a while and are looking for fun things to do in the area, you’ll get to choose from the ocean for a day at the beach, the mountains for some hiking and biking, and the city for dining and shopping for souvenirs.

4. Studio villa near the lagoon (from USD 179)
If you and a group of friends are trying to figure out where to stay for a new vacation, we recommend this studio villa with room for four people. The lagoon is only a short walk away and the swimming pool is a great substitute for the ocean if you want to avoid the sand of the beach. This option can also work for a family of four looking to visit Saint-Gilles over the holidays. The terrace and flower garden make for a relaxing setting for meals and views of the area. Wi-Fi is also available for watching TV during your downtime.
