Life as you would like to live it all the time. This was a perfect vacation rental for our two families (cousins). The house is large and perfectly arranged so that we never felt like we were crowded. After a busy day of sightseeing, it was wonderful to come back to the tranquility of the yard and house. All 9 of us could eat comfortably at the dining room table (after first having our aperitif on the deck outside, of course). Every morning, we would send kids to the boulangerie to pick out the bread and pastries for breakfast. The beach was an easy walk from the house, and we spent a few days just enjoying the beach and the beautiful yard (the roses were gorgeous when we arrived). The town has a few good restaurants, and everyone was quite friendly. All the kids (and adults) are trying to figure out when we can come back for another amazing week! Communicating with the owners was easy, and the woman who takes care of the house (lets you in and does the final cleaning) is fantastic (friendly, helpful). We had an amazing relaxing week, and I highly recommend this house. Everything is well maintained and everything that you could need for a nice vacation is there (long clothes line for all the beach towels, washing machine, dish washer, plates/dishes/pots pans/ a better selection than I have at my own house).
