Magnificent Villa with swimming pool for 12 people in the Pays d'Auge

Close to sailing, windsurfing, 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 Old Harbor of Honfleur or the 28-minute drive to Deauville Beach (and enjoy the property's convenient onsite parking in the meantime).

After you return, you can unwind by the heated pool or sip a drink in the garden; you may also like the deck or patio and outdoor furniture. As for the great indoors, you can try your hand at table tennis, or enjoy the free WiFi and cable/satellite TV.

This 5-bedroom, 5-bathroom rental features a dining area, a BBQ grill, a fireplace, and air conditioning. Bathroom amenities include a hair dryer, towels, 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 lobster pot. And you can even pack a bit lighter because there's a washer and dryer.
