What makes Hossegor Beach House a great holiday rental
- Informal, laid-back 'vibe'
- For surfers, it's a short walk to some classic beach breaks
- Eclectic furnishings and design touches
- Newly refurbished
- Very private and peaceful location near bustling Hossegor
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.
Client Review, October 2018, Mrs L Vaughan: "This was our second visit to the Hossegor Beach House. With 3 children it was a luxury for them to have not only their own rooms, bathrooms, TV area but also floor! This left the upstairs (upside down house) for us as a semi child free zone. The bedrooms are all very comfortable, with English style bedding (duvets instead of blankets) and comfortable matresses. On arrival everything is made up, so we could instantly relax after the long drive. The house is decorated in a very eclectic style, with lots of surfing memorabelia (to the delight of my surfer husband). The kitchen is fully equipped, and had had an upgrade since our previous visit. The garden in the perfect holiday size, with a lovely hot tub, and secure gates. The beach is a short walk from the property, with views of the dunes from the decking. Perfect location for my husband to walk over for early morning and evening surfs, leaving the car with us. This house is fantastic for a family looking for a bit of space and luxury, but would equally suit up to 4 couples comfortably. Highly recommend, and look forward to visiting again soon!"
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:
- Toddlers - reasonable garden space but some steps and care needed on terraces. The grounds are enclosed and the lagoon is ideal for little ones
- Teenagers - perfect!
- Reduced mobility - not suitable
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).
Accommodation
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:
- Furniture from Switzerland, Germany & Sweden
- Travertine flooring throughout the ground level accommodation
- Teak outdoor furniture including an Extremis table
- Bathrooms all en-suite with rain showers and Travertine tiles
- Sonos sound system
- 2 large flat screens, PlayStation, Sky and UK TV

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.

- Living room - 'L-shaped' room incorporating plenty of sofas, separate TV area. The living room offers terrace access and is west-facing.
Lower Ground Level
From the ground floor hallway there is a staircase leading to the lower level.
- Bedroom 2: 150cm Tempur-Pedic double bed and en-suite shower room
- Bedroom 3: twin beds or join to make a 180cm double. En-suite shower room.

Location
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!
On 14-Jun-2016 we responded:
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.

Service: informations were sent in time and well detailed
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.

Product: What a great house, in an amazing location. Child friendly garden. Separate TV area for teens. Hot tub. Cool kitchen. And all ensuite bedrooms. If you want 5 star corporate then you will disappointed - this is 4 star boutique. Lots of quirky artifacts and great decoration. A brilliant place to unwind on holiday.

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.
