Everything is done for your happiness.

Pleasant house located at the marina, the haven is 50 m, the beach 5 minutes by bike, restaurants and shops 5-10 minutes on foot.

Your paradise.

experience

Haven of calm and serenity, the Villa Quai des Ormes welcomes you in an exceptional setting. Located on the marina, a few wheels from the beach and 400 m from the shopping street, in the middle of the greenery, the villa is an invitation to travel.

For large families or friends: as an option it is possible to rent additional rooms, each self-contained (entrance + own SDE) and / or a second cottage. Indeed it is a large house divided into 3 gites and two independent bedrooms.

"O de mer" is located on the quay of the marina, bordered by the old levee du havre. Before the construction of the marina, the sea came to lick the house at high tide.

"O de Mer" is a common room, two bedrooms, a large mezzanine and nets of houses. These are very bright rooms. The common room overlooks the south terrace.
This terrace overlooks the technical area of the marina: no noise pollution but sometimes the parking of boats on their skates. Beyond this quay is the harbor which fills and empties twice a day, at the rate of the tides.

This panorama of the sea that enters the haven will enchant you. The masts of the marina, the boats anchored in the channel, the sand at low tide, the sea at high tide.

A quick description of the place: a living room with a large picture window and a large window, a wood stove, a sofa and armchairs, a dining area and an open kitchen; a pleasant parental suite for a couple (140 cm bed), with a storage area, a bathroom with bathtub; a bedroom with a double bed (king size bed of 180 cm or 2 beds of 90) and a bed of 90, a BB bed if necessary, a storage area; a bathroom with shower, sink, heated towel rail, toilet. Upstairs a living room and dormitory, with TV corner, two residential nets like catamaran trampolines, a bathroom with shower, sink and toilet.

A functional and equipped kitchen for 8 people will allow you to cook the great products of our Cotentin, land of tradition and Carteret, fishing port specializing in crustaceans.

A wood stove will warm your evenings for a warm country atmosphere. Log bags are payable locally (8 euros per bag).
The heating is efficient, with the wood stove supplemented by electric radiators, a towel dryer in the bathroom.

"O de Mer" is also a large 4 * 6 m terrace facing south: early morning sun, meals outside. The terrace is a continuation of the adjoining “Embruns” gite. Armchairs are waiting for you to read or chat.

Access to the garden:
It is below, on the ground floor!
Most of the garden is shared with the other two gîtes because it is very sunny: it is very pleasant to go read or rest in a deckchair in front of a 4 hectare field where horses often graze.

Bbq available

The decoration is current, the Flemish paintings have a warm rendering, the accessories are discreet for a sober and tasteful atmosphere to spend your holidays.
Gone are the days of cheesy vacation rentals, furnished with objects and armchairs that we couldn't get rid of ...




Travelers access


Access is via rue des Ormes.
The cars remain outside the site, to respect everyone's well-being. Parking on Rue des Ormes is easy. Parking in the driveway is possible for a few moments for arrivals and departures.

a path has been created: from the alley, go left and cross the garden, using the stone “steps”. Go to the fishing boat anchored along the old dike and take the stairs to climb the dike. You arrive in the port area: "O de Mer" is on the left.

Delivery of keys to travelers

Arrivals and departures are made easier thanks to a clever key delivery system: this avoids the stress of arriving on time when traveling a long distance. As soon as you arrive at Carteret, you can settle in and rest.

Access: 10 rue des ormes. At the harbor master's roundabout, leave with your back to the harbor, take the first right = rue des ormes. After 100 m, walk along the stone wall on the right: at the opening in the wall, without barrier, take the alley. The house is at the bottom with the stone bottom and the wooden floor, three chimneys on the slate roof.

I live in the nearby region. I work weekdays. I spend late afternoon or weekend.

The district

Carteret is a pleasant seaside resort. The potinière beach is one of the only ones facing due south. In addition, it is protected from the prevailing winds by the cape.

It is said that there is a micro climate in Carteret. More beautiful and warmer weather ...

Great walks in the dunes of Hattainville, an exceptional preserved natural site inherited from the primary era.

The Cotentin remained intact, without concreting the coast. Large spaces, fresh air, huge beaches, horses, boats, water sports ...
