Close to swimming, this smoke-free vacation home brings it all within reach. Centre Equestre de Ouistreham is an easy 14-minute walk away, so you can leave your car at the property, which offers onsite parking, or jump in your vehicle to make short work of the 5-minute drive to Ouistreham Beach.

Relax in the garden (enjoy the outdoor furniture!) or sip a drink on the deck or patio of this 754-sq-ft vacation home. For a change of scenery, come inside and enjoy the free WiFi and TV.

As you settle into this 3-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom rental, you'll find a living room, a BBQ grill, and air conditioning. Bathroom amenities include a hair dryer and towels. 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 there's access to laundry facilities, so you can even pack a bit lighter.
