Carib, sure, as long as you agree not to book it the middle of February next year . We are staying at an airbnb between Rainbow and Cerises. Right now, there is only one building that is open, and it has probably 8 or so apartments, but by next year, the one next door should be finished - it was called Joliet Beach, but not sure if it will keep the same name when it reopens. This area has some pluses and minuses. The beach is very nice here , and is that way all the way up to the old pier. As you get much further south, near Le Petite Hotel, there are quite a few rocks or coral right near the beach, so you have to walk a little way to get into the water to go swimming. On the other hand, I would assume that end is much quieter. Here depending on the day, you may have loud music from either Rainbow or Cerises, in the past, like last year, when there were cruise ships, Rainbow drew a large crowd on several days, and would have an "entertainer" with contests and loud music would could get annoying. There are no cruise ships now, but you also may have to deal with a live band at Cerises, especially on the weekends, though they don't go as late as Rainbow did before the hurricane when Monday mohito night would go to 2 am. There are a few places further north on the beach - it looks like a new Love Hotel is opening - the place looks pretty nice from the outside, but I don't think it is open just yet. There is also the Residence Catalina, further north of us, that looks nice , and it is much closer to the restaurants - Catalina is at 92 , and Oceans 82 is of course at 82 - don't know how noisy it would be at that end of the beach. There are also a number of other airbnb's up and down the beach. I am not a big fan of driving at night, and so we like the ability to go out for dinner at a different place each night, and also like that there are 3 lolos, Olympia Pizza, Te Case ( also pizza ) for inexpensive eats, as well as the regular fine dining options, so we usually do fine dining ever other night. The hard thing this year is walking by so many fine restaurants with so few diners, I feel so bad for the owners and how they must be struggling.
