The house itself has potential, but the combination of strict rules, cleanliness issues, poor communication, and being u
The house itself has charm and character, which is what attracted us to it in the first place. It’s located on a beautiful, spacious piece of land, with large windows that bring in a lot of light. We understood that it’s an old house, and we were okay with that — we were looking for something with personality. Unfortunately, our experience was overshadowed by several unpleasant aspects.
Cleanliness:
The house was not clean when we arrived. There was an old bloodstain on the bedsheet (see photo), and dog hair was all over the living room. These things should have been taken care of before guests arrived.
Comfort and Facilities:
The water supply is limited — something that’s not clearly mentioned in the listing. We were a group of 7, and on the very first day, only 3 of us managed to take a warm shower before the hot water ran out. It was also quite cold inside during rainy weather, and using the heater was a bit tricky — if you’re not careful, it can trip the electricity.
Deposit and Extra Charges:
Be aware that a deposit is required, and it’s very likely you won’t get the full amount back. Even though we strictly followed the house rules, cleaned thoroughly, vacuumed, washed all the dishes, and even removed the sheets from the beds, we were still charged €40 for forgetting to turn off the heating system. This felt very unfair, especially considering how much effort we put into leaving the house in perfect condition.
Communication with the Host:
Unfortunately, the communication was not friendly. The house is full of short warning messages, including in the fridge (e.g., “Don’t touch the food”). There are also many personal belongings around, making the place feel more like someone’s private home than a rental. After we left, we received a rude message accusing us of not apologizing for leaving the heater on — even though everything else was spotless. Pictures that I attached I took before we left the house. We were also told that we had a party because the host found one balloon in the house. This was completely false. There was no party, no music, just one balloon that we accidentally left behind.

Great stay in atmospheric old house
Very atmospheric house in nice French town. It's cozy and well designed with great vintage stuff. Garden (with terrace, grill and table tennis) is brilliant. House is well equipped, you can find everything you need. Location is perfect: just 5 mins from the beach and city center. Hosts are super nice and friendly! It was a pleasure to communicate with!
Be ready to live in a very old house. Despite its good condition (modern kitchen, good heating etc) is has another side: smell, noises etc.
The only thing that was critical for us is a lack of toilets. There are only 1.5 (the 2nd was located in a wash/storage room and the door didn't close) which is not enough for 4-bedroom house

Agréable séjour
Maison magnifique, très agréable, bien équipée et super bien situé, à quelques pas du centre-ville, du bord de mer et des falaises, nul besoin de prendre la voiture tout peut se faire à pieds ce qui est vraiment très plaisant quand on voit l’affluence et les bouchons aux abords de cette ville qui est vraiment très touristique.
La maison est au calme avec une belle vue sur la nature, terrasse agréable avec mobilier et barbecues
Plusieurs voitures peuvent se stationner dans la propriété sans aucun souci
Les 4 chambres sont toutes très belles avec une très jolie déco
Bref… tout était parfait et nous avons été très vite rassurés, au vue de certains commentaires très négatifs qui n’ont vraiment pas lieu d’être.
