Accommodation
Authentic 4 bedroom cabane in Cap Ferret less than 100m from the beach
La Cabane Mimbeau retains the character and simplicity of many Cap Ferret cabane-style properties, with with the addition of a modern kitchen & bathrooms to make it more comfortable. The property stands on a plot of approx. 1300m2, and is set back from the road. The accommodation is laid out on one level.
Inside:
Living areas: the entrance leads to an L-shaped living area, with sitting area (includes, small TV, DVD player & fireplace), dining table (seats 6-8) and modern, fully-equipped kitchen (oven, hob, microwave, dish-washer, washing machine, American style fridge-freezer).
Bedrooms: the bedroom layout is slightly unusual: Bedroom 1 is the 'master' bedroom, containing a double bed with en-suite bathroom, and is reached from the living room via Bedroom 2, a twin bedroom; together the two rooms form a 'family suite'. Bedroom 1 also has French doors which open onto the main east terrace. Bedroom 3 (a double) is also located off the living room. Bedroom 4 has its own entrance even though it is attached to the building, a large double with en-suite shower room & basin.
(There is a possible fifth bedroom, a small cabin room with bunks, and basin, located around the side of the house and best suited to older children - please enquire for details.)
Bathrooms: There are two en-suites (see above) - 1 bathroom and 1 shower room, plus a shared shower room with toilet, and a second separate WC.
Outside:
French doors lead from the living area (and from Bedroom 1) onto a lovely terrace area overlooking the garden with two garden tables & chairs seating 6-8, plus two deck-chairs. The garden is a good size, natural & typical of Cap Ferret with several pine trees and a pine needle base.
Overall, this is an ideal rental for one extended or two families to experience a unique corner of Aquitaine.
