2* Gîte Le bord de Saire

A short distance from sailing, motor boating, and more, this family-friendly vacation home lets you experience it all. Jump into your car and make short work of the 6-minute drive to Barfleur Tourism Office or the 9-minute drive to Tatihou Island Maritime Museum (and enjoy the property's convenient onsite parking in the meantime).

After you return to this 1076-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. For a change of scenery, come inside and try your hand at table tennis, or enjoy the free WiFi, TV, and DVD player.

As you settle into this 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom rental, you'll find a dining area, a sofa bed, a BBQ grill, and a desk. Bathroom amenities include a hair dryer, toilet paper, and soap. Prepare a home-cooked meal in the kitchen, complete with an oven, a stovetop, and a refrigerator, as well as a coffee maker, an electric kettle, and a microwave. And there is a laundromat nearby so you can pack a bit lighter.
