The house is ideally located on the beach and is large enough for 12 persons to sleep however there are some important things to consider in order to set the proper expectations.
House itself: great location, very practical access to the beach, private garden.
Configuration: while it’s big enough for 12, it is worth noting the house is not outfitted to serve 12 - in case of bad weather, the couch only sits 4, the tv corner is for 2 maybe 3 if you use a stool - the seating for dining inside is 10max.
Amenities: not enough glasses - the dishwasher needs to be replaced because it is in shambles and does not clean well - there is no drying rack or dish towels - you have to bring or buy the basic essentials like salt, pepper and oil. Also even though the website says house linens are provided, this only covers for bed sheets, no bathroom towels. The owner was nice enough to help us out with those but this is a major discrepancy.
The website also states that checkout is at 11am but you have to clear the upstairs and let the cleaning crew in at 8:30
Other point to note, the next door site is a camping so during the high season expect the disco music to be loud and played until 1am on weekdays and 4am on the weekends.
The terrace is amazing, great view of the dunes and beach, always breezy and shaded.
The beach is spotless: clean sand and clean water - lifeguards are on duty and the donuts are delicious
The outdoor shower was super practical - the kids loved the ping pong table and the bicycles were great to have.
There was also a beautiful assortment of vegetables, fruits and local delicacies as a welcome basket waiting for us and the owner is really responsive and sweet.
Overall we all enjoyed our stay at La maison de la plage and will keep fond memories.
