Hi, we stayed Jan / Feb in 2015. Carine and david were great hosts. The web site has an english button, top of the page click on the British flag. Rooms are basically studio's, king bed, good kitchen [sharp knives and a convection cooktop], and a great outdoor space, table, loungers, BBQ, covered. The units are on the hill so depending where you stay, some stairs involved - I thnk we stayed in #17, no stairs to the unit. Some complained about the internet, we did not have any issues. The view was Oyster Pond with an ocean view over OBBR. Some resto's / bars in the area you can walk to. We drove to Orient most days, about 10 minutes or so. Overall very nice, we moved on to Orient as we preferred to walk to the beach, but apart from that would reco Les Balcons

We own one of the condos at Les Balcons. The site has a icon of a British and French flag on the top of the page towards the right. Click on the British flag for the site in English.
Most of the units are the size of a studio appartment, although there is a one bedroom and a two bedroom unit. A/C is cold and most units have king size beds.
There are a number of restaurants within walking distance including BZH Creperie, Mama's Pizza, Captain Oliver's, Dinghy Dock, and Quai Ouest. A short drive will get you to Big Fish and Canoa are a short drive to the Dutch side.
PM me if you have other questions.

We have stayed there perhaps 5 or 6 times, a few times top level and a few pool level. Great place to stay and you will meet other guests. Just to add, the parking area is gated and gates close around dusk, you do get a device to open gate. The gated parking area is "snug" so suggest a small car. Very easy access, limited traffic, to Phillipsburg or Orient Beach. The coastal route to Orleans is very scenic but suggest not to drive this after dark unless with other cars. Several good small grocers in immediate area with good selections. We also used to be able to order in morning baguettes with Corine. There is also a laundry service next to one of the small grocers, NE corner of the residential area, grocer is Au Pain D'Espices. Dinghy Dock bar is fun, good bar food, and Iguana bar on the water, far side of Cptn Olivers is a great place for evening breeze and a cold one. Enjoy

gracie105 said: The only down side for me is that there are only French T.V. stations... There are a number of units with American TV, including the one I own and one owned by David and Carine. Check with them, or use the Les Balcons website to select a unit with American TV programming.
