About this property

Charming wood-frame house by the sea, large garden with trees.

The house was built in 2018 and is set in a large garden planted with fruit trees. It is officially rated three stars as a furnished tourist accommodation.
It is surrounded by a large south/south-west facing wooden terrace overlooking the garden.
On the ground floor, there is a living and dining area, a fully equipped kitchen, a toilet, and a utility room with a washing machine and tumble dryer.
Upstairs, there is a master suite consisting of a spacious bedroom (140 cm bed) with a garden view, a shower room, and a toilet.
The house is located in a peaceful green setting while being close (around 500 metres) to the town centre of Portbail-sur-Mer, a charming family seaside resort in the Cotentin area of Lower Normandy.
Portbail offers a sailing school, sand yachting, a small harbour, and a large sandy beach (only 2 km from the house).
You will also find all the necessary shops as well as a great selection of restaurants, bars, and services.
It is an ideal base for exploring the Manche region (the Cotentin and Bessin marshes, Mont Saint-Michel Bay, Granville, Saint-Vaast-la-Hougue and Tatihou Island, Carteret, Utah Beach, Sainte-Mère-Église, and more).
Do you enjoy walking or cycling? Many coastal paths and trails are waiting for you!
Bikes can be rented at the harbour (we will provide you with the details).
You can also reach the Channel Islands (including Jersey) via regular ferry services from Carteret (approx. 7 km away) throughout the tourist season (please check with the Portbail-sur-Mer tourist office for details and requirements).
Additional information:
The rental price includes all charges (including laundry service for the household linen provided).
We provide bed linen (beds are made upon arrival), bath towels, two tea towels, and a bath mat.
All of this is detailed in the rental agreement that will be sent to you upon booking.
If anything is missing, feel free to ask — we are at your disposal!
Please note: the pellet stove is not available for guest use due to its complexity and refilling requirements. However, modern electric radiators and RT 2012 standard insulation ensure a high level of comfort.

Delightful property in a beautiful location

The property is well-maintained, tastefully decorated and has all the modern amenities one might hope to find in a holiday home, There are two large sliding doors / windows onto south and west- facing decking, and so it is possible to sit outside in the sunshine from sunrise until sunset. The large, private garden, with its fruit trees and flower beds, is a huge added bonus. Port Bail is a lovely village, conveniently located for the ferry from both Cherbourg and Caen, and within a short distance of the D-Day beaches, Mont St Michel and all of Normandy's other attractions. Would definitely recommend staying here.

Das Häuschen ist für 2 Personen optimal. Portbail ist ein hübscher Ort und alles ist zu Fuß zu erreichen, auch das Meer. Besonders der Markt am Dienstag ist ein Erlebnis. Waschmaschine und Trockner sind ein echtes Plus. Alles in allem eine klare Empfehlung.
