Close to the sea, this smoke-free villa brings it all within reach. Jump into your car and make short work of the 5-minute drive to Arcachon Bay or the 2-minute drive to Landes de Gascogne Regional Natural Park (and enjoy the property's convenient onsite parking in the meantime).

After you return, unwind in the hot tub or sip a drink in the garden, and don't forget about the outdoor furniture. For a change of scenery, come inside and enjoy the free WiFi and cable/satellite TV.

As you settle into this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom rental, you'll find a dining area and air conditioning. Prepare a home-cooked meal in the kitchen, complete with an oven, a stovetop, and a refrigerator, as well as a coffee maker, an electric kettle, and a microwave. And thanks to the washer and dryer, you'll even be able to travel light.
