A home with all the comforts you need for a vacation any time of year, combining the tranquility of the countryside with the splendor of the beaches. Sleeps up to 8 in 4 bedrooms, a wood stove to set the mood, and a fully equipped kitchen with an oven, dishwasher, freezer, and more. In the living room, there’s a home-theater-sized Smart TV for enjoying concerts, movies, or sports events together, and high-speed Wi-Fi. For sports enthusiasts, there’s a ping-pong table available for play indoors or outdoors. It’s the perfect base for exploring the region while feeling right at home. A paddock adjacent to the house is available if you own horses and wish to combine a beach vacation with horseback riding. With its timeless charm, nestled between land and sea, the town of Portbail at first appears like a mirage. This unique natural and historic site is among the most beautiful in the Cotentin Peninsula. While this Norman town takes pride in its medieval heritage, it’s very much alive in the present and welcomes visitors of all ages for a vacation exploring the entire region: by bike or on horseback along the many bike paths and greenways, on foot along the well-marked trails leading to Mont Saint-Michel, or on horseback or in a sand yacht on the beaches at low tide. And all year round, festivals, children’s workshops, and street performances add a lively rhythm to daily life. Port-Bail-sur-Mer, on the Côte des Isles in the Cotentin region, was named “Family-Friendly Destination of the Year 2020.” Organized by Vrbo, this contest invited more than 7,000 French families to choose their favorite vacation destination from three categories: seaside, mountain, or rural.
