Hi Jessica
How lucky for you to work from home! That means you don't have to deal with daily traffic.
There are so many beautiful houses/apartments with amazing views. But you HAVE to visit before choosing. Things like closeness to shops, public transport, access to beaches/mountain, ventilation, mosquitoes, risk of flood/landslide, friendliness of neighbours, can only be evaluated when you arrive there.
If you can give more info on what kind of place you're looking for I can give you suggestions for possible towns/areas.
Also, try looking on boncoin.fr and seloger.com French sites for apartment rentals. Remember, price varies a LOT depending on location on the island.
Cheers
Mae
