Smoking-friendly holiday rentals in Trou d'Eau Douce

We enjoyed here a full month in May 2025. Strong points: - First of all, the apartment was CLEAN. I confess my wife is a cleanliness freak, she had very minor objections regarding the cleanliness. This is really rare for her! - The owners were very receptive to all our requests. - The apartment is very big. It can easily accommodate 2 families with kids (middle bedroom is equipped for children), if they can manage the usage of the only bathroom. However, the shower and the toilet are each isolated in it's own space, meaning that shower, toilet and sink can be used by 3 persons in the same time. - A beautiful beach is 200 mtrs away. - Bus stop at 100 mtrs. - A restaurant just across the street, fair cooking and prices. Weak points: - Hot water is produced by solar panels. Next morning after a cloudy day the water may be not hot enough. - The location is in an quite isolated neighbourhood, so if you are a fan of nightlife (not our case, however) you must rent a car or use a taxi.

Nathalie was super, she helped us in every way possible. Having a nice clean and tidy home is important, but the real difference is made by people! The housekeeper Sharmela also kept the house in perfect order and prepared a delicious Mauritian lunch for us. The house is perfect for children who can play safely. We recommend a stay of at least 7 days so you don't suffer too much when you leave the house. Thanks to all the staff

We really enjoyed our week-long stay at Anne and Dominique's place. They are very available and responsive hosts and they gave us the best recommendations for activities and restaurants nearby. They are warm and love to receive visitors. The accommodation offered a superb view of Tamarin Bay and we saw incredible sunsets. The accommodation has everything you need to have a good time (reception, barbecue, swimming pool, proximity to excursions, etc.). We would definitely recommend! Sincerely, Thibault and Céline

Both Virginia and Reena were fantastic. We felt they went over and above to make sure we were well looked after and happy. The house is fabulous, probably better than the photos, the views are stunning. Some of our stay we were the only ones on the property and always felt safe and secure. This was our second time at Flamboyant View and we plan to return.

Perfect location, beautiful apartment with everything you need inside: a small balcony to enjoy the sun in the morning during breakfast, a seating area with two swings to relax when returning from visits, a fully equipped kitchen and a modern bathroom. Not to mention the outside with its large swimming pool, its well-stocked weight room, the relaxation area, the barbecue area... everything is beautiful. Great hosts who best advise you on things to visit, very kind, respectful, attentive and attentive. I was able to share a grill and rum party with them and it was perfect. I recommend 1000% and will be back for sure! See you soon.

I had a great stay! The place was very nice, clean, and exactly as described. It’s in a great location - just a short walk from a beautiful beach. The apartment was well equipped with everything I needed, and the host was welcoming and helpful throughout my stay. Would definitely recommend!

I had an absolutely wonderful stay! From the moment I arrived, I felt warmly welcomed – the thoughtful little gift and delicious snacks were such a kind and personal touch. The space itself was not only clean and beautifully arranged, but also full of warmth and charm, making it so easy to feel right at home. The host went above and beyond to make sure I had everything I needed and was always available if I had any questions. That genuine care and attention made all the difference. I’m truly grateful for the experience and would come back in a heartbeat. Highly recommended!

The apartment was really great! The location in Black River (west of Mauritius) is perfect for excursions and daily supply (supermarket, restaurants, boulangerie etc.) is just around the corner. The apartment complex is very nice, clean, safe and well maintained. The pool and the lookout from there on black River Bay and Le Mourne is tremendously great - not only for sunsets. The apartment itself doesn’t lack anything. It was perfectly clean, felt very nice, private and welcome to be inside of it and the balcony is great to enjoy your food or just to relax. It’s in our opinion of a perfect size for four people (family) and the available utensils/ items in the kitchen are well thought-through. Priscilla is a wonderful host with a perfect balance of being very helpful, friendly and reliable without forcing you to anything. We would definitely recommend the apartment as we experienced it.

nice accommodation. the only downside the road dangerous enough to go out and the beach difficult to walk because no sidewalk to go to the beach of the bowl.

Kavita, Priscille and Usha were very nice, helped us finding our way to restaurants and other things in the neighbourhood. Very clean and looked after location directly at a small beach. Restaurants at walking distance. Very nice house!

Michel is a pleasant, discreet and helpful host, very responsive and gives good advice. He booked all our excursions, including the restaurant, taxi, and rental car. The accommodation is clean and comfortable and exactly matches the description. I highly recommend it.

Fantastic location, directly on the beach, really quiet. House is decorated with taste and really feel comfortable. The pool is not too deep so rather safe. The beach is really quiet and nice. Swimming is easy and not deep for a long while. East coast is more exposed to wind but end of June we had pleasant weather every days, despite some occasional rain that never lasted long. Asmita the cleaning lady is really friendly but also knows to be discreet. She was really taking good care of the house and us. It’s a real plus to have her. A car is a must to quickly go around, shopping or for dinner. We hope to come back one day.

It was a tropical paradise, felt like home from home. You wake up hearing the ocean, incredible spot for sunset and has everything you need and more. Definitely will be staying here again, would highly recommend.

Arnaud was always ready to support and help. The villa is very comfortable. Thank you for the nice holiday.

Jaqueline’s place is a true gem—compact yet fully equipped and beautifully designed. It looks even better in person and instantly felt like home. Just 200 meters from the beach and a short walk to a large supermarket, the location is perfect. Wish we had an extra day to enjoy it!

The house is pretty and has all the amenities you need. The neighborhood is quiet and private. The location of the property is good as it takes only 45 minutes to an hour to get to any sight on the island in any direction. The grocery stores and malls nearby are between 8 to 20 minutes away by car. The host is very responsive, and his parents, who manage the property, are helpful. I recommend staying at this property if you want to stay in this area.

we had a great stay in this very nice apartment. feels like home. we have done a lot of cooking , the kitchen has all what you need. everything was good, the bed, the seating area, the terrace with nice view on nature. the area is very quiet and Ashwin mother is very friendly et very helpful. we will surely come back to this place if, hopefully on day, we ever come back to Grand Baie.

3 nights at the Charming Condo perfect for discovering Tamarin, Le Morne, Black River and the Black River gorges! The location is perfect for travelers traveling by bus. This was our case and Sébastien provided us with all the information to get to the accommodation from the East of Mauritius. Easy and super accessible! Pleasant surprise upon our arrival with the little extras and attentions of our hosts: welcome basket and beach towels provided, perfect for an aperitif on the nearby beach! The first aid kit (yes, we don't think about it enough!) is perfect for small injuries after visiting the National Park! And the perfect location close to restaurants! We enjoyed the Jiva for breakfast and the happy Rahja or Osaka Sushi for dinners! Bonus for Sébastien's availability, responsiveness and impeccable accommodation. I recommend without hesitation, between friends or family, the charming Condo will be ideal for your stay in the south west of Mauritius.

My family had a wonderful stay at Daren’s apartment! It is very close to the beach, it’s clean and most importantly, Daren is a fantastic host. He was responsive, flexible and very helpful with all requests. Definitely recommend staying here! :)

A nice and big studio with a great terrace. Very quiet yet centrally located. The beach and restaurants can be reached on foot in about 10 minutes, if you want to go to other beaches, a scooter or car is recommended. The landlords are very comfortable. There is plenty of hot water, the kitchen is well equipped and the rooms can be darkened with curtains. The bed is comfortable, the AC cools down, although it is also a little louder. Earplugs can help. Everything is divided as shown in the pictures: a bathroom, a kitchen with seating, a bedroom and a living room with sofa and dining table.

Beautiful apartment just across the beach, the view from the balcony was amazing. Lot of restaurants in walkable distance and Bil was very helpful with reccos.

it was a fantastic stay of 5 days with family... Jenny and Vincent were very responsive and helpful... the only thing I would mention, being an Indian, we were feeling need of a foster or jet spray in the WC... :-)

Very very nice home in quiet and beautiful surroundings. We really enjoyed our stay here and will definitely come again if we are going to Mauritius.

Great apartment right on the beach. Wonderful view of the sea from the terrace. Totally quiet location. You only hear the sea and birds chirping. You can take fantastic walks on the beach. The apartment has lots of space. Kitchen and bathroom were without blemish. It was all there what we needed. Roumila responded to our requests at any time. Absolutely recommended place if you are looking for piece and tranquility. Nearby is not as much as other places on the island, but it was exactly what we were looking for. A big thank you to Roumila
