Villa Tixaya 5*, a cosy cocoon to recharge your batteries by the lake and ocean

A short distance from ecotours, cycling, and more, this smoke-free vacation home lets you experience it all. Jump into your car and make short work of the 3-minute drive to Lac Biscarrosse or the 18-minute drive to Landes de Gascogne Regional Natural Park (and enjoy the property's convenient onsite parking in the meantime).

Relax by the outdoor pool or sip a drink in the garden of this 2368-sq-ft vacation home, which also features a deck or patio and outdoor furniture. For a change of scenery, come inside and enjoy the free WiFi and TV.

This 5-bedroom, 4-bathroom rental features a dining area, a BBQ grill, air conditioning, and a desk. Bathroom amenities include a hair dryer, toilet paper, and soap. The kitchen is equipped 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 have a washer and dryer, too.
