Guest comments
Absolutely wonderful home! Incredibly clean and well stocked. Very much enjoyed the local beaches and convenience of the shops.
Could not speak highly enough of the graciousness of the owners. They went well beyond the call of duty in ensuring our comfort. Thank you for such a great holiday.
The house was beyond what we expected. The beds were super comfortable, kitchen was lacking nothing and information on local sights very helpful.
House swap
We would be interested in considering a house swap from September through May.
Owner profile
About the owner
We are from California and keep our primary home there along the coast. Our holidays take us to our home in Brittany in the winter months and then off to our cabin in Canada on an island in the St.Lawrence river. We love to travel! We were able to retire somewhat early in our mid 50's after raising our 5 children. Instead of downsizing, we chose to up size and try as many adventures as we can. My husband is wonderful at any household DIY task and so our homes are rich in detail and varied but all charming and in character to the region we are living in. Our home is not available for exchanges during the summer, but non simultaneous exchanges are OK. No pets or smoking, please!
Year purchased: 2002
