Direct Beach Access; Uninterrupted Sea View, convenient for Golf and Water Sports
Sleeps 4/6 (2 Bedrooms)
|
|
The apartment is situated on the beach with direct beach access. It is west-facing and the balcony and sitting room benefit from magnificent sunsets over a panoramic sea view. It is on the first floor and therefore has superior sea-views over the protected dune area and the crescent-shaped beach. Visible and within ten minutes walk along the beach is the pretty local village, fishing port with specialist shops (bakeries, markets including fish-markets, pharmacies, charcuterie etc.), supermarkets, charming churches, restaurants and cafes as well as a watersports centre. There are several marinas, golf-courses, swimming pools and other sporting centres just a short drive away. The famous medieval walled town of Guerande is 5 mins away and La Baule (10 mins) offers luxury facilities from all sorts of watersports to tennis, polo and thalassotherapy. The apartment is situated in a small (now rare) beach development and the owners love this location so much they bought a nearby beachhouse!

About the owner
We spend part of our time in both Brittany and the Pyrenees. We have a property in each area to let through Owners Direct. Please have a look at 'beachfront apartment La Turballe, Loire Atlantique' and 'Ski Chalet Pyrenees Orientales, Les Angles' right here on Owners' Direct! While I really enjoyed my teaching career in Ireland and England for over 30 years, I now love providing holidays for others in both these absolutely wonderful locations in France. Please do not hesitate to contact me directly if you have any queries about holidaying in either of these properties. Warm Regards, Caitlin.

Why the owner chose an apartment in this location
We love the area as it is a genuine french fishing village with a wonderful expanse of beach. All conveniences are locally available yet the area with its beautiful coastline, seascapes, famous salt marshes, historic locations; is unspoilt. We have windsurfed, swam, played golf, sailed, taken out our powerboat (around the Gulf of Morbihan and the islands), cycled, gone to spas and thalasso centres, tasted the Loire wines, visited the Loire Chateaux or just lazed at home with a sundowner. In fact we love the location so much we wanted to share it with family and friends so bought a house a little further along the same beach. The area is a photographer's/artist's dream whether your eye is drawn by the wonderful sunsets or seagulls eagerly following the trawlers into the little harbour!
Unique benefits of the property
We love living on the beach. No roads to cross! It is an unspoilt beach with a protected sand dune. It has that elusive mixture of a genuine french community with lots of conveniences nearby. The crescent sweep of the beach offers the choice of long walks from one village to another, sunbathing or water sports. This coast offers wonderful seafood, wines, scenery, festivals and all sorts of sports and activities for those who love nature and culture. We are happy to supply specific information according to requests.
