Five bedrooms, ten guests, and what is in the house
Ana Flamands sleeps ten across five bedrooms, with air conditioning and a crib available if you are travelling with a baby. There is a pool and a hot tub. The kitchen is a full one, with oven and stove, and there is an outdoor grill for the nights nobody wants to go out. Fitness equipment is on site, so you can keep whatever routine you keep. Television and wifi. The house is wheelchair accessible.
Flamands, and what I am not going to claim
The villa is in Flamands. Villa descriptions stretch location words until they stop meaning much, so I would rather leave this thin than dress it up. Where exactly the house sits within the quartier, what it looks out on, how long the walk down takes — those are questions with precise answers, and I will give you the precise answer for this house when you ask. That is a two-minute conversation, and it is worth more than a paragraph written to sound good.
Who it works for
Ten guests, five bedrooms. The combination that matters here is the wheelchair-accessible layout and the crib: it makes the house workable for a trip with a baby, or with someone who cannot manage stairs, without the group splitting across two rentals. Airport transfer is arranged, so nobody is negotiating a car on arrival. Tell me how your group divides — couples, children, anyone who needs a room of their own — and I will confirm whether the five bedrooms split the way you need them to.
Flamands and the open coast
Flamands sits on the northwest coast, at the western end of the island. The beach is long and open, facing straight onto the ocean with nothing in front of it. That matters. The swell reaches here without anything to slow it down, especially in winter. Some days you swim without thinking about it. Other days the shore break is heavy and I would not put a small child in it. There is no reef to flatten the water, so the sea is as calm or as rough as the open ocean decides.
The road in climbs over a hill, then drops down into the bay. Gustavia is roughly ten minutes away by car, St-Jean a little less. A couple of hotel restaurants sit on the bay itself, but there is no shop and no village centre. You drive for groceries. Most evenings you drive for dinner.
It stays quiet. Little traffic passes through, because the road continues only to Colombier and stops there. Evenings are dark and still.
Flamands suits people who want surf noise and space around them. It does not suit anyone who wants flat lagoon water, or who expects to walk everywhere.

Common questions
How many people does Ana Flamands sleep?
Ten, across five bedrooms. Air conditioning, and a crib is available if you need one. Send me how your group divides and I will confirm how the bedrooms are laid out.
Is the villa suitable for someone who cannot manage stairs, or for a baby?
Yes on both counts. The villa is wheelchair accessible, and a crib is available on request. Tell me the specifics of what you need — access, bathroom setup, anything else — and I will confirm it before you book, not after.
What does it cost?
Rates vary by season and length of stay, so they are quoted on request rather than published. Send me your dates and I will come back with the price and current availability.
Rates and availability
Rates depend on the season and the length of stay, so I quote them case by case rather than publishing a figure that would be wrong half the year. Tell me your dates and who is travelling, and I come back with the real number and what is still open.
