It’s one of the easiest places to explore in the Caribbean — the French Caribbean island of Martinique, home to some of the best roads in the whole region (and even better road signs).

That also makes it a hub for villa rentals — the option for those who want to get around and discover an island on their own.

The company has a total of more than 40 properties in its portfolio.
