What makes Hossegor Beach House a great holiday rental
Situated at the quieter, northern end of Hossegor, the 'surfer chic' Beach House blends perfectly with its sand & forest natural surroundings. It's an eclectic, modern, bright property and offers a spacious and relaxing retreat by the surfing beaches. The owner is a keen a surfer and still works in the industry; you'll see surfing influences throughout the house.
For a special occasion or just to make your holiday even more relaxing, why not book one of our bespoke catering packages as part of your stay at this villa.
Best for:
The Beach House is particularly suited to families with older kids who want informality and easy access to the surf - and a 'cool' town to explore.
Suitability for:
Anything to watch out for?
The Beach House has some cool designer touches and provides fresh, modern home comforts, but both the front and back doors are accessed by wooden stairs as the main living area is raised above ground level.
Why Hossegor?
The nearest resort is an established surfing 'mecca' with a very 'cool' vibe. Hossegor offers great beaches, good shopping, a lovely lagoon and plenty of activities (surf, golf, tennis, cycling, sailing & more).
Surfers' beach house a short walk to legendary Plage Estagnots
The Beach House is owned by an Anglo-Australian family who live in London. They have worked in the surfing industry for many years and have been visiting Hossegor for business and pleasure for many years too. They are one of the band of Hossegor pioneers and well-known in the community!
Previously, they owned a lovely farmhouse just inland from the coast which we rented for holiday lets on their behalf. That was sold on, and they've made a new base on the beach. We're very glad about that.
The Beach House is certainly unique - the owners have an eye for design and there are retro-designer touches throughout. With a tasteful surf theme also evident, this is a very 'un-French' holiday rental.
Throughout the property, you'll find examples of contemporary artwork, photographic prints and surfing artefacts, all adding to that beach house feel. The garden-level accommodation is particularly fresh and creative.
Here's just a sample of the eclectic design 'touches' that make the Beach House so special:
Plus these entertainment features:
Inside:
The accommodation is arranged over two levels: the main living room, kitchen and one of the bedrooms are at a slighty raised level, with the garden being raised above ground level. An internal staircase leads down to the lower ground level accommodation where there is another spacious living room plus three more bedrooms. From the outside, the house does not look especially large but once inside it's deceptively cavernous.
Raised Ground Level
Lower Ground Level
From the ground floor hallway there is a staircase leading to the lower level.
Outside:
2x doubles & 2x twins or doubles
All bedrooms have en-suite/private bathroom facilities. Additional separate WC at ground level
No pool
Media equipment includes:
No pets & no smoking please
Quiet residential street in the pine forests close to the beach, situated in Les Estagnots district which lies at the border of Hossegor and Seignosse. It's less than 5 mins walk to the ocean across the road to Les Estagnots beach, a famous surf break in the area. 10 mins on foot and you will reach the lagoon Lac d'Hossegor. There are sandy coves here,as well as picnic spots and watersports. This is an excellent, safe bathing area, ideal for younger kids when the ocean surf is looking formidable. It's a short drive or cycle ride of 3kms to Hossegor town centre where you'll find some very tasteful shops, good cafés, lots of restaurants and a good sprinkling of surf boutiques too. There's also a small cluster of shops at Seignosse which you can walk to.

Service: Always professional service from the office staff to Maarten and his wife SImone on the meet and greet.
Product: Property was fantastic. Only issue I would say was when we arrived there was a bad smell in the downstairs area which lasted a couple of days. Once the property had been aired and used it was fresher!
Service Comment: Thank you for your feedback - we're delighted to hear that your latest visit was a great success! Regarding the downstairs level, the owners have finally got to the bottom of it - they are on-site now installing an air-circulation system and replacing the smaller windows to improve ventilation.

Product: Nice house but smell of humidity is very strong in the lower part of the house.We didn't use the bedroom after the laundry , too stinky....
The rental is a little bit off market ,considering other houses we visited in Hossegor.
Service Comment: good service
thanks for writing. You're obviously a regular visitor to Hossegor too! It's our most popular destination on the SW coast these days. We spoke to the housekeeper about the garden level accommodation - it just needed airing. We'll keep an eye on it.

Service: Alternative Acquitaine were an excellent source of ideas for our holiday and extremely helpful in helping us choose the destination and property that worked best for our family of teenagers and toddlers. The recommendation of Hossegor was perfect for all the different ages within our family and also ticked other important boxes - the sports on offer, and the cultural excursions nearby.
Product: We really enjoyed the Hossegor Beach House, especially the kitchen, deck and living room. The location was also excellent - easy to get to the lake, to the ocean and to town, and a great bakery and small grocery store just minutes away by bike/car. We didn't eat out much as it was so enjoyable to cook and eat at home, with a great sunset most nights to entertain us. However, the downstairs rooms/area had an unpleasant odor, making it less enjoyable to spend time there - for this reason we would not rent the property again. I am not sure there is anything that can be done to get rid of this smell - which is unfortunate as otherwise we would rebook the property in a heartbeat.
Product Comment: Many thanks for the very comprehensive feedback on the property, Hossegor and the local area. We love it for just the same reasons! Your feedback is really helpful to anyone considering Hossegor. Justin
