About this property

'L'Etoile De Mer' - Coastal Villa With Private Pool

La Tranche sur Mer is an unspoilt family-friendly seaside town with a strong 'French' ambience, 60 minutes drive from La Rochelle airport or 3 to 4 hours from the St.Malo ferry. The town has plenty of restaurants, bars and shops and in the summer months is lively with many free activities and street entertainment. The villa benefits from being close to the centre of town but also within a short walk or cycle ride of the superb beach of La Terriere which is thought by many to be the best in the area. The beach is well supervised and has plenty of car parking, several snack bars and surf schools. It is easy to escape the crowds by walking a short distance along the huge beach. There are also beautiful forest walks practically on the doorstep. This well-equipped and newly-built architect-designed villa has a heated pool and is set in a very private situation with sandy wooded gardens front and rear and several spacious terraces. The Ground floor bedroom / en-suite are suitable for reduced mobility use. There is a particularly nice upper terrace overlooking the front wooded area, which gets sun until late in the evening.

Fabulous family holiday
We stayed for a week in August with our kids and grandkids. The children were 6 months - 8 years. We had an amazing week. The house was a great size and had everything we needed.

Fantastic location, villa hard to fault
Three generations of our family stayed in the villa this June. Ages from 6 weeks to 66 years. The location is fantastic. Near the beach, near the town. An easy cycle into town (better than driving as parking not easy). Large Super U 5 min drive away. But not too busy, quiet spot really. It is a really lovely area of France. The house is well laid out, spacious and very well equipped. Excellent pans, nice BBQ. We used the bikes with the child seat and trailer to go to the beach, as well as to go to the bakery in La Terriere which is excellent. So many cycle paths that are separated from the road, it feels safe for children. The pool is great, nice and warm. We were in it every day. Our 19 month old had a tantrum every time she had to get out! There is a lot of equipment for children including 2 highchairs, a travel cot with an extra thick additional mattress with waterproof cover and a bed guard. There is a stair gate but only for the bottom of the stairs. We used a bench at the top. There isn't a bath mat that we could see so when we return (which we plan to!) we would bring one as the bath is slippy for a little wild child! We managed to break something and the local property manager was very quick to respond. We fully intend to return, we really recommend this property and the location.

Gorgeous House
We had a fabulous time . The week just went in a flash . The house was lovely and in a very quiet lane covered with pine trees . It had everything you need .the inside was nice and cool . And lovely to retreat to When the sun got to hot .The kitchen was large .and had all the things you could possibly need .And the covered area by the pool was a nice thing to have .we pretty much spent all the time in the pool or around the outside dining table . We turn up very early on check in day (sorry) as the air con in the car stopped working . A big thank you for being so nice and understanding. And sorting out a local garage to fix it for us . On reflection we wished we had booked two week to stay . Again thank you for letting us stay in your lovely house . It was a big hit with all the family.

Fantastic House
We had a wonderful family holiday in this very spacious and comfortable property nestled in the pine forest near the beaches. It is a great location for accessing all the Vendee has to offer. The outside area is wonderful with a gorgeous pool and covered terrace area for eating out. The bikes were very useful and made getting to and from the local town of La Tranche Sur Mer very easy with dedicated cycle paths and daily trips to the local bakery in La Terrière which was excellent. The general facilities of the house are great, comfy beds and accessible bathrooms, we made good use of the kitchen and bbq. It’s good for extended family or friends to enjoy. The upstairs terrace is lovely to watch the sun go down with the smell of pine in the air.

Why they chose this property

We purchased our plot in 2004 and the house was completed to our design (David is an architect) a year later. We started coming to La Tranche when our three children were small and we have many happy memories and associations with the area. Our children have now grown up so we tend to use the house either side of the high season.
We think our location is great, because it has beautiful natural surroundings and is quiet but it is also close enough to walk or cycle to the restaurants and shops in La Tranche.
Our beach at La Terriere is (in our opinion) the best in the area. It is lovely to be able to hear the surf at night and to stroll to the beach through the forest. We also love cycling and walking in the surrounding countryside and coastal routes, which are thankfully almost level!
