Great Place
We stayed in the house for two weeks with our three kids. Generally the house is located in a pleasant and quiet environment. It was very clean and has everything needed. We enjoyed the pool and the great view to the sea. Especially the sundowner is a must to see.

Thank you very much for your positive feedbacks and delighted to read you enjoyed your stay
Such a lovely property. Secluded yet still part of a community with easy access to amenities on foot.
Fantastic pool and wonderful, uninterrupted views.
The house was very well equipped and Virginie could not have been more helpful and welcoming.
We hope to return.
This was our second visit to this lovely house, and once again did not disappoint, this is the perfect home for a multi generational holiday, plenty of room for everyone to chill and relax. Great location, scenic walks, lovely restaurants locally and the best swimming pool, only a short drive into La Rochelle. A lovely and accommodating host who met us on arrival and was easy to contact if we had any queries. I can’t recommend highly enough.

Thank you very much for your review Tina.
It was lovely to welcome you back.
Just returned from a wonderful week here. The house was a fantastic size for our two families and was perfectly presented on arrival by the owner, Virginie. The property is well stocked with all the things you would expect to find and all the bedrooms have double beds so plenty of sleeping space. The pool was brilliant and just the right size for us. As for location the house is situated in a small village with a supermarket, bakery, butchers, a couple of pizza takeaways and a market that visits a couple of times a week just a few minutes walk away. A 15-minute drive sees you in La Rochelle itself. The only downside (if there was one) was the lack of restaurants within a short walk away - there are some fantastic seafood restaurants around a 15 - 20 minute walk away along the coast which are well worth the walk but booking is essential as we found to our cost! Otherwise, we could not fault the property and had a great week!

Un accueil chaleureux
Ein schönes Haus in einer tollen Lage mit einem großen Pool und einer schöne Aussicht!
Die Vermieterin ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit, es ist alles da, was man braucht und noch viel mehr, das Haus ist groß und sauber!
Everything about this villa is first class. Virginie (host) is super helpful. Location is spot on. Quiet area but restaurants within walking distance and 10 minute drive into La Rochelle. Would highly recommemd.
Grande maison décorée avec goût et très bien équipée. Situation parfaite dans un quartier calme mais proche des commodités. Vue imprenable sur l'océan - accessible à pied - et l'île de Ré. La Rochelle à 5 minutes en voiture. Grande piscine qui peut être couverte. On recommande à 100%!

About the host
Hosted by Virginie
We are a Franco-britannique family and we live in Newmarket near Cambridge. We have family friends who live in L’Houmeau and we have visited them every summer for the past 25 years. The children have great memories of their holidays there and still enjoy coming to stay in the house with their friends
Why they chose this property
It is in a great location and easily accessible, all the benefits of La Rochelle and l’île de Ré without the inconvenience of the bridge toll charges and terrible traffic on the island during the height of the season Having stayed ourselves in the house these past two summer seasons, we have enjoyed the tranquillity of the location.
What makes this property unique
Unrivalled view of the sea and across to l’île de Ré Very quiet location Ideal for relaxing, sitting by the pool and enjoy the sunshine
