Typical renovated villa: Family cabin on the Bassin d'Arcachon

A short distance from a water park, surfing, and more, this family-friendly vacation home lets you experience it all. There's convenient onsite parking, so you can leave your vehicle behind and let your feet make short work of the 8-minute walk to Landes de Gascogne Regional Natural Park or the 13-minute walk to Bay of Biscay.

Spend a day at the beach, relax by the heated pool, or sip a drink in the garden of this 1615-sq-ft vacation home, which also features a deck or patio. For a change of scenery, come inside and enjoy the free WiFi, cable/satellite TV, and video games.

A dining area, a BBQ grill, air conditioning, and a desk are featured at this 5-bedroom, 2-bathroom rental. Bathroom amenities include a hair dryer, towels, and toilet paper. 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 can even pack a bit lighter because there's a washer and dryer.
