Dear Markus, thank you so much. Ocean Shelter is looking forward to welcoming you next year again! It is always a pleasure to welcome your family. "Feel like home" is definitely the feeling we want to give to our guests :) Sophie
We really liked our stay. Friendly host & agency, new and comfortable house with a great layout. The only thing we really missed, was a bike way to Lit-et-Mixe. We had our bikes with us, but did not drive once in the end. Other than that: Great region and nice beaches!

Thank you Falk for the lovely comment and rating. While there is no direct access to Lit et Mixe village by bike from home, you can easily park your car on the supermarket parking (4min drive away) and then ride wherever you want from there! There are multiple bike paths alongside the beautiful forests, to Cap the L'Homy beach, Uza or Contis. Good to know for the next time :) Sophie

We loved our stay at this comfortable and very cosy furnished wooden house! It’s a great place for a fine vacation close to the amazing beach of Cap de L’homy, a 10-minutes drive. We would book this house for sure again and our kids hope that there is WiFi then, that is the only thing that missed. It also makes it easier to work then.
In summarum: an absolute recommender!

Dear Evelyn, thank you so much for the lovely and positive comment. I am not sure at this stage whether we'll set-up wifi in short term, as we're renting the house just a few weeks per year, and the guests - even coming from abroad - usually find a good 4G connection. I myself can often work from the house by using it. I hope it won't prevent you from coming back :) All the best, Sophie
Lovely stay. The property is brand new and stylishly designed and sits on a very large plot. Need a car but good beaches, lake and nice villages and shops all within 15 mins driving. Good communication from the owner. Check in process a bit complicated as someone has to meet you at the property (key safe would be simpler) and they require a security deposit in cheque or cash which is tricky (credit card imprint would be simpler). Also read the small print as sheets are not included and quite expensive to rent from the agency (including those in the rental from would be simpler). Overall very happy though.

Hi Ivo, I am glad that you enjoyed your stay at Ocean Shelter, thank you so much for your feedback. For further bookings, the deposit will no longer be requested if you book through Abritel as it will be included in the booking process. The bedsheets / towels need to remain an option as some guests prefer to bring their owns, and if they choose the option, we need to pay the laundry service (which is a unique fee whatever the duration of the stay is). Last, regarding the check in, it is important for us to have it done by the agency for safety amongst other reasons, but we can always find a solution in case of late arrival. Thank you and happy to welcome your family again in the future ! Sophie
Wir (2 Erwachsene, zwei Kinder) haben den Aufenthalt genossen. Die Wohnung ist groß und die Einrichtung sehr schön und neu.
Im deutschen Inserat fehlten Preise für Bettwäsche und Handtücher. Ansonsten war alles wie beschrieben. Wir kommen gerne wieder :-)

Wir haben in diesem Jahr nun schon zum zweiten Mal diese Unterkunft gebucht. Es ist ein wunderbarer Ort um von der ersten bis zur letzten Sekunde des Urlaubs zu entspannen. Sauber, komfortabel, schön!
Auch im nächsten Jahr werden wir gerne wieder kommen.

Très agréable, attention à la caution et au forfait nettoyage
Belle maison, fonctionnelle, propre avec terrasse et grand jardin.
(Il manque un vestiaire, ce qui n'est pas gênant en été.)
Procédure un peu lourde avec l'agence immobilière. Caution à payer en chèque ou en liquide (empreinte de carte de crédit pas possible), donc prévoyez.
Première fois de notre vie qu'on nous demande de payer le ménage (90€) alors que nous comptons nettoyer nous même, en attendant de voir si notre façon de faire le ménage corresponde aux normes de l'agence.
On a pu trouver une solution, mais c'est le genre de discussion dont on se passerait volontiers.

Bonjour Maria, je suis heureuse que vous ayez apprécié notre maison. Pour répondre à vos deux points : la caution est une procédure classique nécessaire lors d'une location, précisée dans votre contrat de location initial, pour permettre d'anticiper. Concernant les frais de ménage: ils sont désormais de 75€ et intégrés dans le tarif de location, il n'y aura plus à les payer sur place. Faire venir une société de ménage professionnelle est en effet indipensable pour laisser les lieux d'une propreté irréprochable pour les prochains locataires, et la propreré de notre maison est grâce à cela toujours très appréciée. Bien à vous, Sophie
Das Ferienhaus ist sehr neu. Die Lage ist perfekt, etwas zurückgesetzt von der Straße und man ist komplett für sich. Die Ausstattung ist top modern und man fühlt sich von der ersten Sekunde an wohl. Wir haben schon fürs nächste Jahr wieder gebucht.
