  • Surfing is, of course, the main activity!
    But cycling is also fantastic thanks to the extensive network of bike paths (Piste Cyclable), built along the old railroad tracks and leading in all directions—even as far as Bordeaux.

    In addition, there are two golf courses nearby, a tennis/squash/padel club, a mini-golf course, and a wide range of water sports onthe Étang de Lacanau(sailing, canoeing, stand-up paddleboarding, etc.).

Comfort and Well-Being

  • The house is about 120 m² and has 4 bedrooms, each sleeping 2 people. We think it’s perfect for 6 people—but 8 people can also stay there very comfortably.

  • A large wooden deck, a Weber grill, a wood-heated hot tub, and a sauna round out the amenities.

  • Yes, the sauna is included in the rental price.

  • Firewood for the hot pot and the ofen is a premium service that we charge for according to our price list. Sourcing and preparing the wood requires a considerable amount of work (cutting, drying, storing), which is why we consider it a luxury item.
    You are, of course, free to bring your own wood or purchase it locally.

    We recommend that you take this into account when making your reservation, especially if you have mobility issues or are traveling with young children.

    Please note: The HOUSE has many steps due to its historic architecture. For the safety of young children, it is possible to close off certain areas using the existing doors, thereby restricting access to the stairs.
