Super maison proche de la plage
Nous avons passé une excellente semaine dans la maison de Liz avec un super accueil très simple de Kathy. La maison est très bien équipée, on se sent comme chez nous: piscine, barbecue, internet, vaisselle, tout était parfait. A 5 minutes en voiture de la plage de Lespecier, très grande plage avec baignade surveillée, restaurant de plage et école de surf. On recommande vivement de séjourner dans la maison de Liz

Perfect Stay, nice accommodation
The welcome was extremely warm and communication was simple, direct and uncomplicated. The house corresponded exactly to the description. The House is locktest in a quiet area. Unfortunately on some days you can smell the local paper mill throughout the whole region. But the stay was very pleasant overall. Gladly again.

Sehr schöner Urlaub
Wir hatten einen sehr schönen Urlaub in dieser grundsätzlichen sehr guten Unterkunft und empfehlen die Unterkunft weiter. Verbesserungspotential : * Bedienungsanleitung für den Ofen * Töpfe und Pfannen könnten erneuert werden * Es fehlte eine Salatsschleuder und gegebenenfalls eine Zitronenpresse * Hatten zu Anfang einige Probleme mit der Stromversorgung. mehrfach hat es die Sicherung rausgehauen wenn wir den Toaster + die Kaffeemaschine angeschaltet hatten. * Die Fahrräder müssten für den sofortigen Einsatz überholt werden * Wir haben in den ersten beiden Tagen ein sehr unangenehmes hohes Geräusch aus dem Nachbargrundstück bekommen. Es handelt sich dabei entweder um ein Nebengeräusch der Klimaanlage des Nachbarns oder um eine akustische Marderfalle. Die Lösungsbereitschaft des Nachbarn dieses unangenehme Problem war sehr gering bis nicht vorhanden. erst nach Eskalation wurde das Geräusch abgestellt. der Nachbar macht einen sehr unsympathischen Eindruck wobei man in der Regel keinen Kontakt mit dem Nachbarn haben muss. Wie gesagt nach den 2 Tagen hatten wir sowohl mit dem Piepsgeräusch wie mit dem Nachbarn keine Probleme mehr. Bg Peter

About the host

Hosted by Liz

Host profile image
I live in SW England with my twin boys. We spend most of our holidays in Southern France, where we have made amazing friends and have really fallen in love with the country, especially the beaches and forests.

Built in 2012 from our own design, It`s a comfortable, practical home from home.

We love Bias because although quiet, it boasts some fantastic facilities nearby. There are beautiful beaches, surf, forests, activities (high ropes/horse riding/ cycling) and a great range of easily accessible bars and restaurants. There really is something for everyone here.

The area is easily accessible with Bordeaux airport just over an hour away.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with the area due to its beautiful, long, uncrowded beaches and plentiful surf. There are several activity centres nearby offering horse riding, paint-ball and high ropes. There are miles of beautiful forest accessible on newly built cycle tracks linking all local beaches.
Bias is quiet enough to escape the crowds, but only 5km from the nearest beach and a short drive to the lively local town of Mimizan. There is an abundance of good bars and restaurants all within a short distance. Mimizan has some lively festivals and is an interesting, friendly place.
The drive from Bordeaux airport takes just over an hour and is simple and stress free.

What makes this property unique

The house is only just over 9 years old and is cool and spacious. It has its own lit pool and a sun deck, with loungers and covered terrace, where you can relax. There is a separate relaxation area, with outdoor sofa's and a gas fired BBQ. There is another separate Alfresco dining area, with an outdoor dining table on comfy chairs that can accommodate up to 8 people. In addition there is a spacious garden great for children to play in, with the added benefit of a full sized ping pong table.
There is internet, a DVD player and satellite TV within a comfortable lounge/dining area.
The accommodation has 3 bedrooms with the master having its own walk in shower en-suite. The main bathroom has a walk in shower and twin sinks. There are two double beds and a bunk bed in the third bedroom (replacing for two singles which can be made a double for Summer 2020). The lounge has a double sofa bed giving versatile arrangements.
The kitchen has a hob, combination oven, coffee machine, fridge/freezer and dishwasher. There is also a washing machine. The house has central heating, automatic venting and even remote control heated towel rails!
Everything you are likely to need is provided :)
