On Aquitaine...
We are specialists for the Aquitaine coast with around 100 properties in our collection. Aiming for quality over quantity means we are able to personally visit and vet every property we offer. Think of us as the antithesis of Airbnb, Homeaway, etc! To refine your search results just enter your dates and requirements above or use the map to the left. Need a little inspiration? Below are some of our most popular collections.
1 km or less to the beach
Walk to Beach
It's what the majority of clients ask/wish for! The rentals we've selected below are genuinely no more than 1 km to the beach and some are no more than a few steps! (see also our Cycle To Beach Villas)
Central locations
Walk to Restaurants & Bars
Who wants to be in the car for all journeys on holiday? Not us! Parents want to enjoy a drink out and teenagers want to feel independent. Our rentals in Hossegor, Biarritz, Ile de Ré and Moliets are great for offering easy access to a wide choice of bars, shops, cafes and restaurants...
Private pool villas
Villas With Private Pools
In our collection are dozens of visited and vetted villas with private pools and many of them are on the coast with easy access to wonderful surfing beaches and child-friendly bays and lakes. Enjoy the privacy and luxury of your own swimming pool, whether it's a classic French manoir, a luxury contemporary villa or a chalet-style villa on a family resort. If you need help choosing then just call one of our villa specialists...
For early and late season
Villas With Heated Pool
It's not essential for peak summer but if you're staying in the mid-season then we recommend a pool with heating if you / the kids plan to be in the water as much as possible...
Security for little ones
Villas With Fenced or Covered Pool
All pools in France have to be protected. However, many parents of young children want to relax knowing their pool is fenced or covered - rather than protected by an alarm...
Bring the family dog along
Pet Friendly Villas In France
The French love their pooches and we have a number of options for pet-friendly villas and holiday homes. If your heart is set on a villa that says 'no pets' just give us a call as occasionally an owner can be persuaded. Just remember your doggie won't be allowed in the pool - we have been asked before! And bear in mind that rules are changing on travelling to France with pets post-Brexit...
Villas, beach houses & apartments where you won't need a car
Car-Free Holidays
Arrive by plane/train plus a short taxi/transfer to your property then it's on two feet (or two wheels!) for the rest of your holiday. Many of our holiday villas, beach houses and apartments are conveniently located for the beach, shops and restaurants. Ile de Ré, Arcachon, Hossegor and Biarritz are perfect car-free holiday destinations...
See the horizon
Sea View
These rentals genuinely have sea views - remember, we've checked them out. The selfless things we have to do! In this collection of sea view rentals some are directly above the ocean, such as Villa l'Arche in Bidart and The Ocean House in Biarritz.
Stay cool in these air-conditioned rentals!
Air-con
Only a small selection of Aquitaine Coast rentals feature air-con but the climate in south west France is not the same as Provence or Cote d'Azur. The Atlantic ocean breeze is nature's air-con, besides we all know air-con has a considerable carbon footprint. Average daily temperatures in the mid-to-high 20's mean that you and the kids can get outside in the day time and do some activities together without wilting. And you can sleep comfortably at night...
A selection of villas with super pool
Large Pool
If you're a larger group or if you like to do a few lengths each morning before tackling the croissants, you will want a decent size pool and in this collection of villas the swimming pool is 12 metres or longer...
