The best neighbourhoods in Le Gosier for year-round renting, from Bas-du-Fort to the town centre, with the rents to expect and the rules to know before signing.
To rent in Le Gosier, a few neighbourhoods come up depending on how you live: Bas-du-Fort, near the marina and beaches, for secure residences with a pool; the Marina du Gosier, central and lively, for professionals; the town centre, lively all year round, for studios and small apartments; Montauban, Dampierre and Grand-Baie for a quieter residential setting; Petit Havre, Pliane and Périnet if you want greenery and a house.
Le Gosier is a coastal town next to Pointe-à-Pitre and close to the Jarry employment zone and the university hospital. According to Insee, it had 27,757 inhabitants in 2023. The housing stock is mostly houses (69.6% of homes), with apartments making up 29.6%. Tenants occupy 37.1% of main residences, and 19.4% of homes are second or occasional homes, a sign of the weight of tourism in the town.
Direct consequence: the year-round rental supply is narrower than you might think, dominated by furnished apartments in residences, and part of the stock is reserved for seasonal rentals. This guide goes through the neighbourhoods, the rents to expect and the rules to know before signing.
Close to the marina and the beaches, Bas-du-Fort is the most sought-after neighbourhood in the town. The supply is mostly furnished apartments in secure residences, often with a pool and sometimes a sea view. Rents there are at the top of the range, and well-located properties go fast.
Around the marina, the area brings together shops, restaurants and transport. There is a wide supply of furnished T2s and T3s. It is the right choice if you want to go out on foot and limit your commutes.
The town of Le Gosier keeps a neighbourhood life with its markets, shops and Creole restaurants. It offers a wide range of studios and furnished apartments at varied rents, and serves as a starting point for the beaches and the îlet du Gosier.
Montauban is a quiet residential neighbourhood, popular with families for its peaceful setting and proximity to amenities. Dampierre and Grand-Baie are sought after for their easy access to the main roads. Set back from the coast, rents there are more moderate than in Bas-du-Fort.
Petit Havre offers a greener, quieter environment, with bungalows and furnished houses to rent. Pliane and Périnet, set against the hills, suit those who put tranquillity and views of the Caribbean Sea first.
Rents vary with the type of home, its condition, its location and whether it is furnished. Here are the monthly ranges seen in local listings:
The ANIL indicators, based on 2025 listings, confirm these levels: €20.4 per m² including charges for a one- or two-room apartment, €14.9 for three rooms and more, €15.3 for a house. Homes with a sea view or a pool, in Bas-du-Fort or near the marina, rent at the top of the range. If water, electricity and internet are not included, allow €100 to €200 more per month.
With a complete application, the search generally takes three to eight weeks. Furnished studios and T2s sometimes let within days, T3s and houses take longer. Demand rises in August and September, at the start of term and with job transfers: start four to six weeks before your arrival date. For a furnished T2, plan on having €2,500 to €3,500 available at signing, including first rent, deposit and any agency fees.
