About this property

Fantastic ocean view, in the heart of Biarritz.

My apartment is a wonderful 'nest' on the sea. The elevator gives you straight access to the Miramar beach, from there you are five minutes walk from the Biarritz Casino, and even clother to the Sofitel and ´thalassothérapy'.
You can watch the sunset from the balcony and relax in the sun.
The apartment is being renovated in may 2015.
It will dispose of luxury closet bed, a beautiful kitchenette with a microwave-oven, a dishwasher, a toaster,a coffee machine, and a kettle boiling and a beautiful entrance too.
You will dispose of a big TV , washing machine, a dishing machine an italian shower with see view and a very two big dressing and two closets in the entrance too.

You can do everything by foot in Biarritz but there is also a free shuttle to 'les Halles' Market (open daily until 1 pm) and around town.
There is a door in front of 'the promenade' of the ocean when you can take a shower put transat before coming back at the appartment after the beach : the PEDILUVE
Perfect for a couple or couple with child until 10 years old.
There is a janitor for the security.
Very quiet place, no cars only the sound of the waves.

The check-in is at noon and check-out is at 10am.
3 days minimum .
I have an other appartment in Paris vrbo320389

History

Biarritz is a Basque name with locative suffix -itz (cp. Isturitz) attested Bearriz in 1170, Bearids in 1186, Bearritz in 1249.

Biarritz has long made its fortune from the sea: as a whaling settlement from the twelfth century onwards. In the 18th century, doctors recommended that the ocean at Biarritz had therapeutic properties, inspiring patients to make pilgrimages to the beach for alleged cures for their ailments.

Biarritz became more renowned in 1854 when Empress Eugenie (the wife of Napoleon III) built a palace on the beach (now the Hôtel du Palais). European royalty, including British monarchs Queen Victoria and King Edward VII (who caused a minor scandal when he called H. H. Asquith to kiss hands at Biarritz in 1908 rather than return to London for the purpose),[1] and the Spanish king Alfonso XIII, were frequent visitors.

Biarritz's casino (opened 10 August 1901) and beaches make the town a notable tourist centre for Europeans and East Coast North Americans. The city has also become a prime destination for surfers from around the world, developing a nightlife and surf-based culture.

At the end of World War II in Europe, the U.S. Army's Information and Educational Branch was ordered to establish an overseas university campus for demobilized American service men and women in the French resort town of Biarritz. Under General Samuel L. McCroskey, the hotels and casinos of Biarritz were converted into quarters, labs and class spaces for U.S. service personnel. The University opened 10 August 1945 and approximately 10,000 students attended an 8-week term. This campus was set up to provide a transition between army life and subsequent attendance at a university in the USA, and therefore students attended for just one term. After three successful terms the G.I. University closed in March 1946 (see G. I. American Universities).

belle vue, emplacement parfait mais...
la vue est superbe et l'emplacement du STUDIO est parfait pour accéder à pied à la plage et en centre ville. En revanche, l'annonce parle d'un appartement avec une chambre alors que c'est un studio avec le lit qui se range verticalement dans un placard et la "cuisine" est également dans un placard. J'avoue que, naïvement, je ne m'attendais pas à ça à 1500€ la semaine.

Awesome view
Love the location for a visit to Bayonne and Barritz. Fantastic little balcony with beautiful view of the coast and beach below. Compact apartment with parking that has everything. Bus service works well, must recommend Basque Museum in Bayonne. Had a wonderful time, without out planning happened to be in the middle of July’s Bayonne Festival. Fun experience.

Biarritz Getaway
Booked apartment location for location. Great ocean view right on the water. The apartment is functional yet quirky. Construction going on so building entry leaves little to be desired. Apartment located on a downstairs floor with very dark entry. Need to get lights on timer down by entry as opposed to down the hall. Size of apartment ok but bed is a Murphy bed. It was comfortable along with sofa when Murphy bed not in use. Bathroom is small but functional. Bathroom lacks a door and only has a drape. This is an issue if you have privacy concerns with partner. Biggest issues is that apartment lacks ventilation unless sliding door open. This is great, however, when we were there surf was exceptionally large and room was extremely noisy. It was hard to sleep and hot in room if sliding door closed. A fan would help. Hosts were gracious and easy to communicate along with being responsive. Lastly, washer was broken which was a key reason we booked this apartment. There was a laundromat nearby that we used. Overall, enjoyed out stay and highly recommend Biarritz and would go again.

Magnifique vue
Nous avons passé une petite semaine très sympa dans ce charmant studio. Celui-ci est très fonctionnel, bien agencé/meublé, et convient parfaitement pour un couple n'ayant pas un très grand besoin de place. Il donne directement sur la plage de Miramar, et se trouve à 10 min à pieds du centre-ville, parfait pour ceux qui privilégient la tranquillité. Quel bonheur d'avoir été réveillé tous les jours par le bruit des vagues... Pour finir, la vue est exceptionnelle. C'était la raison principale de mon choix et je ne peux qu'aller dans le sens des précédents commentaires.

Petit nid douillet avec vue imprenable sur l’océan, surtout au coucher du soleil. Nous n’avons pas eu la chance de rencontrer notre hôte, mais nos échanges ont été chaleureux ;-) L’emplacement est idéal : à deux pas du centre, près du phare (pour un p’tit cocktail du soir …), bref, un super séjour !

Pas satisfaisant, avec belle vue
La vue est belle certes! mais: -Nous avons eu froid, vraiment froid -Aucun contact, la personne n'est pas venue. (Joelle) -Pas de chauffage d'appoint (un petit radiateur remis la veille au soir, avant notre départ) Pas de parking... Immeuble en travaux. La télévision ne marchait pas. Le système "Molotov" demandait un code. Trois codes nous furent envoyés. Aucun ne marchait. Nous avons vu un peu Netflix mais aucune chaîne nationale. Aucune notice pour le matériel, rien. J'ai demandé une réduction de 180€ en dédommagement, pas de réponse. Je ne suis donc pas satisfait ! Avec mes salutations distinguées. Jean Joseph Suchel

Et plus que tout : certainement la plus belle vue de Biarritz. A l’extrémité de la plage Miramar : à nos pieds les vagues de l’Atlantique qui bercent notre sommeil et, dès le réveil, comme s’il était à portée de main, ce rocher mythique que nous appelons « la roche percée » : comme une porte ouverte pour de nouvelles découvertes de cette magnifique région.

Great location and accommodation but poor experience because of untold renovation
There were renovation in the building and in the balcony almost whole time that We spent time there. We got the information of that renovation one day forehand, and didn’t feel that it was fear thing to do. Morning started with much of noice and men in our balcony so had to close the curtains and couldnt enjoy the view or the sea. The accommodation itself was great and clean. We got some refund too afterwards.

Stunning location for a beach stay
The location can't be beat - on the ocean-front, away from the hustle and bustle but within easy walking access to everything, including wide choice of shops and restaurants. The apartment is tiny but well planned, with lots of storage space. Cooking facilities are not suited to any major cooking - but quite fine for preparing breakfast or snacks (note, the fridge is very small). The bed was very comfortable and easily opened/closed, but a queen size (not king, as indicated). Our host was accessible and communicative, and the on-site concierge friendly and very helpful. Highly recommended, as long as you don't need a lot of space or plan to do any significant cooking. P.S. we loved falling asleep and waking up to the sound of the waves crashing against the the shore!

I am a dance and yoga teacher, I live between Paris Ile St Louis and Biarritz.
I started to rent my place on vrbo and Homeaway (vrbo 320389) in 'Ile St. Louis' Paris, my customers are mostly American citizens. My two children help me out when I'm travelling.
Biarritz is an amazing location to take a break from the big city rush.

Why they chose this property

My dream was to have an ocean view, Biarritz is wonderful and very quiet after Paris where I have an appartment at Ile St. Louis ( vrbo 320389).

What makes this property unique

There is a wonderful Spa In Sofitel ' on the beach at one minute. And I do my yoga on the beach or on my balcony 'face a la mer!!!!!'
