"Perfection! We stayed at The Doves Nest in February for 8 glorious nights. Nestled next to the GCBC, the Doves Nest offered spectacular views and a perfect accommodation for us in Grand Case. Our two bedroom apartment was great, although not the most updated, everything was perfect. The kitchen was well equipped, the bedrooms were comfortable and the balcony was the perfect spot at the end of a wonderful day in paradise. We walked to town every day, maybe a 15 minute walk with a bit of a hill. We were so thankful to our hosts, Suzy and Emilie who made sure we had everything we needed to make our stay wonderful."

"I didn’t know quite what to expect when I booked this hotel, but man am I happy I pulled the trigger. Perfect location, a short walk down to the beach and right up the street from French fine dining, shops, and local Lolos. The price was a fraction of Grand Case Beach Club and the accommodations were perfectly adequate. Cold AC, full fridge, kitchen (including cooking utensils), and patio furniture so you can sit on the balcony and enjoy your breakfast with ocean views. I cannot stress how much the owner’s family went above and beyond to make sure my stay was excellent. I would definitely stay at the Doves Nest again whenever I’m near Grand Case."

"The rooms and apartments are so spacious and easy access to a beach that is not busy or packed. Walking distance to all grand case has to offer. The owners are so sweet and accommodating. Parking is no issue AC works great and great views of the ocean."
