Close to sailing, scuba diving, and more, this pet-friendly cottage brings it all within reach. Jump into your car and make short work of the 11-minute drive to Baie de la Seine or the 14-minute drive to Tatihou Island Maritime Museum (and enjoy the property's convenient onsite parking in the meantime).

Relax in the garden (enjoy the outdoor furniture!) of this 1604-sq-ft cottage, which also offers a BBQ grill. For a change of scenery, come inside and enjoy the free WiFi, TV, and DVD player.

As you settle into this 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom rental, you'll find a sofa bed, a fireplace, and a desk. Bathroom amenities include a hair dryer, towels, and toilet paper. The kitchen is equipped with an oven, a stovetop, and a refrigerator, as well as a coffee maker, an electric kettle, and a microwave. And you won't have to pack extra clothes, because you'll have a washer and dryer, too.
