Lovely house in a wonderful setting
We absolutely loved our stay in Lacanau. The property is in a great location, close to beaches and the lake, with cycle paths through the pine trees. The owners are very generous in leaving their bikes and beach equipment available for use - our children enjoyed the body boards and skimboard. We also made good use of the swimming pool available to residents which is in a lovely setting overlooking the golf course. The house is clean and well-maintained, with good sized bedrooms and lots of storage. We particularly appreciated the comfortable beds and linens. The garden is perfect for eating outside - lots of dappled sunshine but never too hot. Only thing missing for us as a family of four was a dishwasher! The owners were very responsive and helpful, providing lots of information about the house and local area and clear arrangements for arrival/departure.

A really well-equipped holiday house in a superb location
We booked this accommodation because we were impressed by the photos of the interior and the garden and we were not disappointed. This has all the feeling of a family home and is very comfortable and well equipped. We appreciated that Carolyn leaves a variety of staple ingredients in in the kitchen cupboards and supplies washing powder, cleaning materials etc in the bathroom. The garden is also well stocked with furniture and a good barbecue. The setting on the golf course is lovely - even if the trees do cast some shadow over the garden - and it's conveniently close to the town and the lakes. Having the two bikes was a real bonus and we made full use of them. This is a great location for exploring the surrounding area, especially the vineyards of the Haut Medoc, and we would happily return for another holiday.

Fantastic holiday home!
We had such a lovely week here, house is home from home, fully equipped and comfortable with loads of information from the owners on the local area. Booking was so easy, great communication from Carolyn and Steve. Great location, used bikes to cycle to the beach and nearby lake at La Moutchic which our children loved! Wild Atlantic waves to have fun in at the beach and safe swimming at the lake...and fantastic golf course on the doorstep. Thanks for a great holiday, we hope to return! Amanda and Neil Blackmore and family

C'est Manifique
From the moment I booked this house I have nothing but praise for the owners communication and the house itself. My wife and I needed somewhere quiet with the option of activities if we wanted. With food from the local Super U (especially swordfish steaks) and the BBQ, much of our time was spent lazing on the patio enjoying the warmth. However we managed several long walks along the beach and a couple of meals out. The house was clean, tidy and had everything you needed for a home from home experience. The use of the bikes to cycle into Lacanau Ocean was invaluable and the pool, clean and well maintained was very welcome during our stay.Having secured our dates for next year I would strongly recommend this property. Thank you Carolyn & Steve for a wonderful holiday.

Excellent holiday home
We had a really enjoyable stay in Lacanau. It was most efficiently organised by Carolyn and Steve who were very responsive, helpful hosts. The house was clean and had all the facilities needed for a self catering holiday. The accommodation was ideal for 2 adults or a family of 3 or 4. It was perfectly located for golfers with a great course on the doorstep. Alternatively it was only a short walk/bike ride to the beach and other facilities in Lacanau Ocean. A great deal of thought has been put into presenting this as a holiday home - a credit to Steve & Carolyn.

About the host

Hosted by Carolyn Cardwell

Host profile image
My husband Steve and I bought the house in Lacanau Ocean in 2005 It just happened that we got the keys on our silver wedding anniversary so it has always been a very special place to us. Since then we have had so many wonderful holidays there, at least five trips a year, often enjoyed with family and friends. We lived in south west London for thirty years and have a grown up daughter and son. We have come to love France so much that in 2012 we took the plunge to move here permanently and now live just under two hours drive from Lacanau Ocean. We look after the house ourselves and, although we often don't actually meet our guests from Owners direct, we find it so rewarding. We love hearing about people's holidays in Lacanau.

Why they chose this property

We chose our holiday home because we wanted to be very close to the sea and we also love the close proximity of the stunning string of lakes and the fact that you can do pretty much anything you like to do on vacation in this amazing holiday location. The exclusive setting in the scented pine forests gives that sense of coming away into a completely separate world. We also love the freedom of using the cycle paths to get around. On a bike you can ride down the path at the back of the house and be on the beach in around ten minutes (depending on how fast you ride). It's walkable too, around forty minutes stroll through pine shaded paths. In the other direction you have a string of stunning lakes, with sandy beaches for gentle swimming. Our son is a surfer and Lacanau ocean hosts an annual surf competition.

What makes this property unique

We bought the house when it was just in the early construction stage because we fell in love with the beautiful and unique setting. This is a modern, open plan holiday home set in a mature, pine forest location It is an easy to live in, comfortable, relaxing home from home furnished stylishly and generously. Easy access to beaches, lakes, and forest cycle paths You will love the shared pool only a few steps from the house. Outdoors there is a small garden at the front and sliding doors from your living room lead to terrace and garden at the back.
If you should happen to be a golfer you can walk from the house to the free golf practice range. Golfers will find three beautiful courses, the "Golfing d'Ardilouse is one of the top sixty rated french courses. The club house and hotel are close to the house and have good restaurants. It is a challenging course but you can also choose to play the full length separate nine hole course, or there is a pitch and putt with a golf school. No need for a car for any golfing.
