Villa with pool between sea and mountains, 3 minutes from the beach

Close to wildlife walks, motor boating, and more, this smoke-free vacation home brings it all within reach. Parc des Roches Gravees is an easy 14-minute walk away, so you can leave your car at the property, which offers onsite parking, or jump in your vehicle to make short work of the 5-minute drive to Plage de Grande Anse.

After you return, you can unwind by the outdoor pool or sip a drink in the garden; you may also like the balcony and outdoor furniture. For a change of scenery, come inside and try your hand at table tennis, or enjoy the free WiFi and cable/satellite TV.

This 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom rental features a living room, a dining area, a BBQ grill, and air conditioning. Bathroom amenities include a hair dryer, a bidet, and towels. 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 because there's access to laundry facilities, you can go a bit lighter on your packing.
