Enjoyed our stay

We really enjoyed our stay at l'Epi Bleu vrbo. The property was as advertised. Very spacious and clean. We used the property as our base for many day trips within Normandy and enjoyed walking on the beach of Lion-sur-mer.

Lovely stay

Had a great week here. Property clean and well equipped. Super location - 5 minute walk to the beach, supermarket and boulangerie. Lion- sur- Mer is a delightful, small town. There is not a huge choice of places to eat but this was not a problem for us. Would recommend and would happily return.

It was great

Overall it is a good holiday home. Close to the beach, shops and restaurants. The house itself is perfect for a family. Lots of space, good kitchen and good beds The only thing I would suggest is better furniture. The chairs aren’t that comfortable and also the chairs outside could be better. But that

Stay in Lion sur mer

This was a great property, spacious, and immaculately maintained. Juliette, Christophe, and their assistant, Sylviane, were superb hosts. We were in Normandy for D-Day commemoration week and this is an ideal location for any activities related to that. Plus we rented a car and there is a place to park a car off the street at the property. Perfect location. Highly recommend this property! Thank you, Juliette, Christophe, and Sylviane!

Modern, classy and excellent value

This gite is one of the best we have stayed in. It is spacious, lots of nice design features combines modern and older character, all the equipment you might need. It is in a quiet residential area with lots of character buildings. The patio and French windows are really nice. The beach is a 4 minute walk, Lion is a nice quiet unpretentious town, supermarket, boulangerie all in easy walking distance. Christophe the owner is great to deal with, very organised and good communication. Thanks to his Dad Davide for coming out to sort out the washing machine.

Well equipped house for a comfortable stay

We had a lovely week in Lion Sur Mar as 2 families with 3 children under 3. The house is well equipped and very close to the beach, supermarket, boulangerie and a couple of restaurants. Not a huge amount to do in local area but short drive to other beach towns and Caen. Be aware that towels and linen are not included and are quite costly to hire. Check in and out was a little confusing as we were meant to be met by a house keeper for both but this is not mentioned on website.

Holiday 2024

The house was big and comfortable with plenty of equipment. The garden was a little disappointing as a bit unkempt and no hot tub as advertised. We ordered bedding for one room but it didn’t arrive until the second day and there was a lot of difficulty getting in contact with the host to sort that. The road alongside the house was very noisy. But the location to the beach and a range of activities was excellent

Dear Jennie, Thanks for your message and feedback, Please make sure that the phone number you give in the booking form will be functional in France. We have tried to reach you several times before your arrival, without any success. Finally we get in contact using another phone number and our homekeeper Kentigern managed to solve your issue in the shortest delay. Kind regards Christophe

Excellent property

A superb property!!!! Situated in a lovely quiet seaside village, only 2 minutes walk from an amazing long sandy, safe beach. Communication with the owner was easy, any questions responded to quickly and every effort on their part was made to ensure a great holiday. You week be greeted buggy the helpful host Carin who ensures you have everything you need and understand how everything works. The house its recently redecorated with modern facilities, the kitchen is wonderful and very well equipped.The Windows opening onto the terrace in the garden were excellent. The equipment for our baby was clean, new and well maintained. The location is superb, across from small supermarket and two boulangeries within 5 minutes walk. Well situated for D Day history, Bayeaux and Mont St Michel. All in all, fantastic and highly recommended

Pour commencer, la première photo n'a rien à voir avec la réalité. Aucun entretien dans le jardin, parasols inutilisables, la structure est hs. Par endroit, les planches de la terrasse sont écartées de plusieurs cm, ce qui peut-être dangereux pour les enfants et les adultes. Mon amie est restée accroché et, elle est tombée. Le barbecue est inutilisable, rouillé et sale. A l'arrivée l'intérieur était propre. Cuisine fonctionnelle et chambres agréables.

Bonjour Nous avons profité de l’hiver pour rénover la terrasse, revoir les aménagements du jardin, reprendre l’allée principale, j’espère que ces travaux donneront satisfaction à nos future vacanciers. Précision utile, notre maison familiale a été rénovée en 2014, et conserve son charme d’origine (ambiance, mobilier, décoration) mais ce n’est pas un hôtel 4* lisse et aseptisé Avis au voyageurs pour le virer toute déception Merci Christophe

Schön renoviertes Haus mit viel Platz. Die Küche ist groß, sehr gut ausgestattet und lädt zum Kochen ein. Die Einrichtung ist ein individueller Mix aus modern und charmant. Der Außenbereich sollte durch ein wenig Pflege und bessere Möbel an Qualität gewinnen. Lion-sur-Mer ist ein kleiner Ort mit einem super tollen Strand. In der ersten Reihe am Wasser stehen viele historische Villen und keine großen Hotels. Im ort gibt es einem Supermarkt, eine super gute Bäckerei ganz nah am Haus und einige verschiedene Restaurants. Das Haus liegt sehr zentral, alles ist zu Fuß gut zu erreichen und die Umgebung bieten viele schöne Städte und interessante Ausflüge.

Sehr schönes Haus nicht weit vom Strand. Am Strand waren manchmal so viele Algen das die Kinder nicht darin baden wollten.Das Haus hatte aber auch ein paar unangenehme Seiten. Tischdecke auf Esstisch sehr schmutzig, Kaffeemaschine sowie Sofa müssten mal erneuert werden. Im unteren Bad gibt es wohl ein Ameisenproblem, ein Mittel gegen die Ameisen tropfte vom Oberlicht auf den Waschtisch, sehr klebrig und eklig.

Leider enttäuscht

Wir hatten uns sehr auf unseren Urlaub gefreut, wurden jedoch vom Zustand des Ferienhauses enttäuscht. Bereits bei der Ankunft fiel auf, dass die Einrichtung in die Jahre gekommen ist und wenig gepflegt wird. Die Couch war durchgesessen und bot keinerlei Komfort, sodass es keine wirklich gemütliche Sitzgelegenheit im Haus gab. Auch die Terrasse war in einem maroden Zustand. Insbesondere mit einem dreijährigen Kind war das eine ständige Sorge, dass es sich verletzen könnte. Der Garten war allgemein ungepflegt, voller Unkraut und insgesamt wenig einladend. Die Hecke wurde offenbar kurz vor unserer Ankunft geschnitten, der Grünschnitt jedoch einfach liegen gelassen. Die Sitzgelegenheiten auf der Terrasse waren ebenfalls ungepflegt und luden nicht wirklich zum Verweilen ein. Dazu hatten wir Pech, dass ausgerechnet zu dieser Zeit Lion-sur-Mer ein großes Ameisenproblem hatte. Auch im Haus waren tausende Ameisen, was letztlich sogar den Einsatz eines Kammerjägers notwendig machte. Leider waren wir danach nicht mehr in Urlaubsstimmung, sodass wir vier Tage früher als geplant abreisten. Ein großer Lichtblick war jedoch die Betreuung durch die Hausverwalter Sarah und Kentigern. Beide waren sehr freundlich, reagierten schnell und bemühten sich wirklich, zu helfen. Dafür ein großes Dankeschön!Insgesamt war es für uns leider kein erholsamer Urlaub. Mit mehr Pflege des Außenbereichs und etwa mehr Komfort hätte das Haus Potenzial, aktuell können wir es aber nicht weiterempfehlen.

Bonjour, Nous sommes vraiment navrés de recevoir une appréciation de la sorte, notre maison n’est pas un hôtel 4 étoiles, elle est meublée avec son mobilier d’origine et d’époque ce qui lui confère son charme et son attrait. Le jardin est régulièrement entretenu dans un esprit nature, en limitant l’utilisation de produits, Il est vrai que la terrasse nécessite d’être rénovée (les planches se sont déformées au fil du temps) ces travaux sont prévus l’hiver prochain Enfin nous sommes désolés pour l’épisode des fourmis envahissantes, une société spécialisée est intervenue dans les 24h après votre signalement, et fera un second passage sous 2 semaines. Si vous cherchez la perfection , préférez l’hôtellerie aux gilets familiaux Merci
