Maison de l'érable champêtre less than 15 minutes from the Côte d'Albâtre

Close to sailing, scuba diving, and more, this family-friendly vacation home brings it all within reach. Jump into your car and make short work of the 17-minute drive to Base de loisirs du Lac de Caniel or the 18-minute drive to Falaise d'Aval (and enjoy the property's convenient onsite parking in the meantime).

After you return, 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 stereo.

This 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom rental features a dining area, a BBQ grill, and local meal delivery service. Bathroom amenities include a hair dryer and toilet paper. 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 because there's access to laundry facilities, you can go a bit lighter on your packing.
