Un Jardin à la Plage à Oléron. 4 Personnes

Close to sailing, windsurfing, and more, this smoke-free 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 1-minute walk to Bay of Biscay or the 15-minute walk to Perroche Beach.

As you settle into this 2-bedroom rental, you'll find a living room and a BBQ grill. Connect to the WiFi, or get cozy in front of the cable/satellite TV (video library available); there's also a DVD player. Bathroom amenities include a hair dryer, towels, and toilet paper. Prepare a home-cooked meal in the kitchenette, complete with an oven, a stovetop, and a refrigerator, as well as a coffee maker, an electric kettle, and a microwave. And you won't have to pack extra clothes, because you'll also have access to laundry facilities. Other amenities include an ironing board, limited housekeeping, and a dining table.
