Havre-Aubert, February 13, 2025 — The new website Maison Mer is redefining the art of seaside getaways by presenting ten exceptional vacation homes and two boutique hotels in the Canadian archipelago of the Magdalen Islands (les Îles de la Madeleine). Each property has been carefully selected for its character, comfort, design, and prime location, offering stunning views of this unique maritime setting.

From traditional island homes to architectural masterpieces and hidden gems, the accommodations featured by Maison Mer stand out for their thoughtful layouts, quality finishes, chef-worthy kitchens sure to delight food lovers, and designs that highlight local artists and craftspeople. Each property can be booked on a secure website, thereby reducing the risk of fraud often associated with such transactions.

"More and more, the archipelago attracts a discerning clientele seeking authentic vacations but unwilling to compromise on comfort. We meet that need by blending local charm with personalized service," says Vincent Morel, co-founder of Maison Mer.

Aware of the challenges involved in planning a trip to the Magdalen Islands, the Maison Mer team also offers travel planning assistance. Through its concierge service, visitors can get help with finding accommodations, renting a car, creating an itinerary, booking restaurants and activities, and even hiring a private chef or in-home childcare.

"Maison Mer is the only platform showcasing high-end accommodations in the Magdalen Islands," says Jan-Nicolas Vanderveken, also a founder of the initiative. Each property meets strict quality standards and complies with current regulations.
