Beachfront villa

Close to sailing, scuba diving, and more, this pet-friendly vacation home brings it all within reach. There's convenient onsite parking, so you can leave your vehicle behind and let your feet make short work of the 11-minute walk to Montalivet Market or the 13-minute walk to Bay of Biscay.

After you return to this 969-sq-ft vacation home, unwind in the garden or sip a drink on the deck or patio, and don't forget about the outdoor furniture. As for the great indoors, you can try your hand at table tennis, or enjoy the WiFi and cable/satellite TV.

This 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom rental features a living room and a BBQ grill. Prepare a home-cooked meal in the kitchen, complete with an oven, a stovetop, and a refrigerator, as well as a coffee maker, a microwave, and cookware. And you can even travel light because you'll have access to laundry facilities.
