Hey guys, looking into renting an apartment in Orient Village. Anyone have any good info about the area? We wanna be close to the CO Orient Beach and we will have a car to be able to explore all over. Being able to walk to Orient Bay, as well as restaurants, bars and bakeries in the morning sounds lovely. Anything else I should know about the area? Is there enough open? Any thoughts you have i would love to hear.

We just stayed in an Orient Village studio above Good Morning bakery. It's a great spot right across the street from the Village restaurant block. Yellow sub, Bikini and Kako beach bars are also steps away. It's an easy walk to the CO end of the beach. We rented from Delphine Plazaob on VRBO. She is a great host. There are plenty of restaurants, bars, etc. open, so you won't be disappointed.

We will be staying here next week...check it out.

Will report back upon our return. Owners have been wonderful to work with thus far.

We are currently staying at Villa Ester in Orient Village. We can walk to eat and the beach. If you are going to go to Club O you might like to drive since it would be quite a walk. You don't have to go to the main road, just head toward the beach and turn right to Club O. We have a car and drive there, but I walk to Good Morning for croissants and a sandwich for the beach everyday. We drive up to the village for our evening meal because it is not well lit in the neighborhood. We rent from Magali Bertho whose business is www.islandescapesxm.com. She has a limited amount of rentals, but is adding more each month or so as they are being redone after Irma.

Check out So Chic Villas, great location and owners. They used to own a rental car biz as well so you can rent for just the days you need and they will leave it at your door.

I cannot get an email answer from the SoChic Villas folks - would love to rent from them

any suggestions?

Here ya go....

Sochicvillas@gmail.com. We spent last week in Cote Mer and it was wonderful. We have already booked for next year.

You can look it up on trip advisor vacation rentals and request contact as well.

got in touch - not available when we want to go - have to have odd dates due to work schedule - like to do as close to two weeks as is possible but can only be gone one full week - so end up doing like a Thursday to Tuesday

Split it between O B and Grand Case beach club

We are staying at Le beach Loft.
