About this house rental
The house is in a stunning south facing position down a secluded fuscia- lined driveway and has a paved entrance, attractive garden, timber terrace and lawn leading directly to a causeway and beach with breathtaking sea views across the bay to St Vaast-la-Hougue and the historic Isle de Tatihou, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This constantly changing panorama of sand, sea and sky, punctuated by seabirds, boats and beachcombers is mesmerising in its natural beauty. There are lovely clean, peaceful, sandy beaches on the doorstep which are perfect for sailing, kayaking, windsurfing and kitesurfing as well as rockpooling and sunbathing, so there's something for everyone. It is as close as you can get to the sea, offers the quintessential relaxed family holiday and must be a contender for one of the best views in France.
Accommodation:
The whole house underwent a complete renovation in 2011 to a high specification and still retains an attractive stone roof, antique fireplace carved from local Caen limestone and a spiral wooden staircase which all add to it's character and charm.
The interior is stylishly decorated in shades of white and comfortably furnished to include twin leather sofas in the conservatory. Framed by huge bay windows, these are the perfect place to view the picturesque scenery, with its abundant wildlife and breathtaking sunsets, at any time of the year.
Ground floor:
Living/dining room, wood burning stove, large bay window with sea views. French windows to terrace and garden. Kitchen/breakfast room, French windows to large stone terrace with pergola over.

The Beach House is 2.5 km from St Vaast La Hougue and it's marina, and 32km from the ferry connections at Cherbourg or 110km from Caen. The region attracts visitors internationally and is renowned for its gastronomy and oyster beds in particular. Golf, tennis, riding and good local restaurants are nearby, along with many sites of interest including Norman Churches and Cathedrals, the Bayeaux Tapestry (1hr), Mont St Michel (2hr), Normandy Landing Beaches and WWll Cemeteries and Museums within easy driving distance. There are supermarkets and amenities within 10 mins drive and local shops only 5 mins away. Many visit the historic landing beaches, museums and fortifications along the coast but as a tourist destination the area remains largely unspoilt.

We visited the Beach House, 3 adults and 4 children aged 18months - 8 years, we’d chosen here because the house looked amazing & the location, literally on the beach, ideal for our sand mad children. We weren’t disappointed.
The house & gardens are beautiful, such a well equipped house, there really is nothing the owners haven’t thought of that you might need during your stay.
We wanted an easy holiday, just to chill out & relax and that’s exactly what we did. We visited Saint Vaast on numerous occasions, lunched at Cafe le France on our one rainy day but other than that the proximity to the beach meant the children could rock pool, collect shells, build sand castles, swim in the sea & body board at their leisure.
It was exactly what we wanted & we’re hoping we’ll be back soon, so many people have asked me where this beautiful place is, it really is an amazing setting.
Booking was easy & communication with the owner excellent & very responsive in answering all my questions.

The Beach House is tucked away down a zig zag drive on the east coast of the Cherbourg peninsula, close to a small town called St Vaast la Hougue. The house is exceptionally located for a family. A decent beach is just over the garden wall, a decent bar is a leisurely 15 minute beach walk away and the local town is no more than 10 minutes by car. The town has a pretty good market every Friday with lots of interesting food stalls. The beach bar (Le Goeland) is right on the beach as you would expect and serves good (limited choice) food and an excellent selection of drinks. Service is friendly and swift, a well run place! The beach has a big tidal range but is good for in-shore swimming and 'messing around' when the tide is in. The house is in good condition with plenty of family dining spaces, inside, outside with shelter, outside on the patio. Kitchen equipment is good, we wanted for nothing. Decorations are characterful without being over the top.
We were a three generational family of six and it suited us down to the ground, we enjoyed all aspects of this area of Normandy.
