Close to the ocean, this smoke-free vacation home brings it all within reach. Jump into your car and make short work of the 8-minute drive to Marais Poitevin Regional Nature Park or the 31-minute drive to House of the Marais Poitevin (and enjoy the property's convenient onsite parking in the meantime).

After you return, you can unwind by the private pool or sip a drink in the garden; you may also like the deck or patio. For a change of scenery, come inside and enjoy the free WiFi, cable/satellite TV, and stereo.

Prepare a home-cooked meal in the kitchen, complete with an oven, a refrigerator, and a dishwasher, as well as a coffee maker, an electric kettle, and an ice maker. Bathroom amenities include a hair dryer and toilet paper. And you won't have to pack extra clothes, because you'll have a washer and dryer, too. Other amenities include bed sheets, an ironing board, and a dining table.
