Laurie's Dream - Fabulous All-Season Beachfront Getaway in Beautiful Menton


Welcome home!

You are welcomed to check-in & check-out any day of the week so that you avoid the usual Saturday traffic jams in France (and/or enjoy better airfares). Although we are pretty flexible, we simply ask that you check-in before 8pm.


Imagine yourself on a balcony, on the beautiful Cote d’Azur, in an elegant apartment building facing the Mediterranean Sea. Awake to the gentle lapping of the waves on the immaculate beach. Take your croissant and café on our west balcony facing a delightful garden. Drink your evening cognac on our south balcony directly facing the turquoise sea.

Laurie’s Dream Apartment is a haven in a little corner of paradise. Beside the sea, it is conveniently located minutes from the charming pedestrian street, the famous fresh fruit and vegetable market of Menton, various shops, and notable restaurants, all walking distance. At Laurie’s Dream, you do not need a car, but if you so choose, there is city parking available, on metered streets and in garages.

This charming turn-of-the-century building, the 1900s, has a pleasant garden available for you to sit in and cool off in the shade of banana and palm trees. It also has an adorable and functional birdcage ascenseur (elevator).

We are very pleased to announce that our remodeling is finished. Our new separate bedroom, with a new double bed and large closet, overlooks the garden with its beautiful trees, plants and flowers, including the elegant and colorful Bird of Paradise. You also wake up to a glorious view of the sea.

One of our two balconies is located off of this bedroom, and is a perfect spot for your morning coffee or even lunch, not to mention evening drinks while enjoying the sunset.

Our new modern kitchen is equipped with everything that you need, should you decide to cook and not take advantage of all the wonderful restaurants in Menton. Please be informed that there is no dishwasher.

The very modern bathroom is well equipped as well, as you can see from the photos (shower towels provided all year long; Beach towels provided during the Season).

The large salon has French doors facing the sea, offering a gentle breeze.

Our second balcony is located off of the salon, for you to enjoy sunrises and sunsets overlooking the sea and views of Cap Martin to the west and Italy to the east.

We are also very pleased to mention our new air conditioning unit to help you stay cool after hot summer days at the beach.

The apartment has wi-fi for those who need to stay in touch.

Bien sûr, Menton itself offers train and bus service to all the charming villages in the area. Perched villages include Roquebrune Village, St. Agnes and Gorbio. If you are museum aficionados, you can visit museums dedicated to Jean Cocteau in Menton, as well as others in Nice and other towns dedicated to Matisse, Picasso, and Renoir, and all of the changing exhibits in Monaco, which is also a quick train ride away.

And don’t forget to look east. Our Italian neighbors offer a wide range of charming towns to see, including Ventimiglia for its Friday market, San Remo, Genova, and Cinque Terre, all close by.

Or just stay and love the view.

Menton is famous for its micro-climate of 320 sunny days a year. So come love it like we do.

Laurie’s Dream is the perfect place to spend quality time with family or friends. This wonderful apartment will ensure that everyone will be comfortable following their dream, whether it is resting, reading, sunbathing, cooking, eating, or drinking.

In ordrer to help our guests to travel light, we provide beach towels (during the Summer season) , shower towels, bedsheets and kitchen towels. Should you travel with a baby or a toddler, please ask for our optional baby cot & our stroller. We are rpoud to announce families with young children that were were awarded the selective award 'Famille Plus'' from Menton City Council.

The linen care has a compulsory price of €60 cleaning fees are payable cash on arrival (2024 fares).

We welcome you any day of the week so that you avoid the usual Saturday traffic jams in France and/or enjoy better airfares. Although we are pretty flexible, we ask that you check-in before 8pm.

Perfect break
Light and airey property with air conditioning. Lovely large lounge with a wonderful view onto the beach and great little balcony for people watching. Comfortable bed and plenty of wardrobe space and hangers plus another larger balcony. Kitchen very small but well equipped and perfectly adequate for a holiday. Enjoyed popping to the market most days for fresh produce . Catherine met us for a smooth check in and gave us lots of information , recommendations and helpful advice on the local area. Literally opposite the beach so great to have towels, beach mat, chairs and parasol for guests use.( Just remember to pack your beach shoes as enterering the sea from the rocky beach can be difficult). A wonderful apartment and would definitely use again.

A nice long stay in Menton
I have been visiting Menton for the last 15 years so know it very well and have just spent 6 weeks at this apartment. The apartment: Perfect location for the beach and town, fantastic views, lovely morning shaded side balcony overlooking the sea for breakfast and front balcony for dinner overlooking the lively street. Very comfy bed, nice bedding, small kitchen but well equipped. The hosts: Catherine & Philippe were excellent and very accommodating hosts who really work hard to make your stay prefect. I would definitely book the apartment again.

Amazing Location in a very pretty town
We have just returned from 10 days spent in Menton and we had a great time. The apartment is very well located, just yards from the old town with its many bars, restaurants and shops and the local indoor produce market, which is a beautiful building in itself. The main living area of the apartment is well laid out and spacious with a well equipped kitchen. The only downside of the apartment is that the mezzanine floor where the bedroom is, only has a ceiling height of about 4.5ft so you can't stand up in it! My husband is 6'2" and my son is 5'9" so this meant they virtually had to crawl around in the bedroom area! You couldn't live with this set up, but as it was only for 10 days, we could cope with it! The worst part is the road noise. The apartment is situated on the main road, and the road noise is constant. It seems that motorbikes love to race down this road at night when the road isn't as busy as during the day, so the loud revving of motorbike engines goes on for most of the night! Then to top it all off a digger comes along at 6am every morning to "rake" the beach! We found that shutting the windows made a huge difference to the noise at night, but that did make it rather hot with no fresh air coming in, but there is a large floor fan that does help with this. Although the noise and the very low bedroom ceiling were far from ideal, you have to consider the perfect location you are in. All the properties along the main road will have the same problem with the noise, but can you put up with that to be able to sit on your balcony every morning and see the amazing view and be in a perfect location in the town? Catherine, the lady who manages the apartment is very helpful, and even picked us up from the station. She gave us loads of information on the local area. It is very easy to travel around into Monte Calo & Nice by bus for just 1 Euro 50 each way.

Empfang und Verabschiedung waren sehr herzlich. Die Kommunikation mit vielen wertvollen Infos von Catherine war perfekt. Die Wohnung war schön und die Lage vor dem Strand mit Meersicht absolut top. Leider war es in der Wohnung etwas kalt. Die Heizung über Klimaanlage hat nicht funktioniert und die Zentralheizung war nicht ausreichend. Wir haben die Tage trotzdem sehr genossen und können die Wohnung und die Stadt Menton sehr empfehlen
