Nous avons beaucoup aimé notre séjour : la maison est spacieuse, confortable, extrêmement bien équipée. Son emplacement est top : nous allions à la plage à pied, énorme avantage, et les commerces sont à 5 min en voiture. L’environnement est par ailleurs très calme. La grande véranda et sa plancha sont un must pour les soirées en famille et entre amis car les soirées sont souvent un peu fraîches pour dîner dehors. Et avec le baby foot l’ambiance est vite festive ! Super accueil de la propriétaire, attentive à ce que tout se passe bien tout au long du séjour. Bref, nous avons été pleinement satisfaits de cette location ! ##### Agnes V.

La propriétaire communique bien avec nous quand on la sollicite, l'accueil a été soigné, les contacts tres cordiaux je recommande vivement pour un groupe de 8 à 12 personnes ##### Patrick D.

Aug 16, 2017 #### Très bel endroit, idéalement placé. La maison est spacieuse et Bien proportionnée , à recommander ! Nous sommes partis avec deux couples d'amis et n'avons pas été deçus : un accueil chaleureux et sympathique, une grande maison bien proportionnée, 10 min à pied de la plage en marchant doucement... La piscine et la cuisine exterieure (la plancha XXL) sont les grand "plus" de la maison, le jacuzzi très agréable. Bref un magnifique séjour, une propriétaire toujours disponible et prête à aider (encore un grand merci pour l'accueil). À recommander vivement ! ##### Andreas V.

Jul 26, 2017 #### Une adresse à retenir Nous avons passé une semaine remarquable avec 11 amis. La maison est idéale pour un grand groupe mais je compte certainement y retourner en famille. La piscine est vraiment grande, et la maison aussi est assez spacieuse pour des grands groupes. La plage à 15min est aussi très attirant. Nicole nous a bien reçu et aidé avec des infos sur la location de vélos etc. C'est sûre que nous comptons retourner à Anglet. ##### Julie B.

We stayed for two weeks at Nicole's house, a family of 10\. The house is spacious and and well equipped. It is situated in a very quite area, still within a comfortable walking distance from the beach and within 7 min drive to grocery stores. Nicole was most helpful host with our vacation, from the first contact and up to the last good bye at the airport! Thank you very much for the nice holidays! ##### Maria S.

We had a lovely holiday at Nicole's beautiful house in Anglet. The position of the house was perfect within walking distance of the beach and local shops. The house was well equipped and we enjoyed the gorgeous pool and jacuzzi. We are very grateful to Nicole for all her help and we would definitely recommend Nicole and her family's beautiful house. ##### Paula Adams This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Vw+BCEMOVxH2LVTVhY6P67IKzcDfuO7Ri7wUsjQfhyE0VZjBCa7fdiIgGmTHk1Fv/+BIjSP9Yxx3za85zJAmWPq5IisXAkoSwHlL V. Sep 5, 2013 #### belle maison, défauts non dits La maison est très bien située et les équipements (piscine, jacuzzi, babyfoot,...) sont en parfait état. Cependant, certains vices cachés ont été gênants. Nous n'étions pas au courant que le four ne fonctionnait pas (dommage quand la préparation de plusieurs tartes est achevée...).De plus nous ne savions pas qu'un seau était dissimulé sous l'évier retenant ainsi l'eau fuyant apparemment constamment, ce qui fut découvert par l'inondation de la cuisine. Malgré tout le séjour fut agréable. ##### Vw+BCEMOVxH2LVTVhY6P67IKzcDfuO7Ri7wUsjQfhyE0VZjBCa7fdiIgGmTHk1Fv/+BIjSP9Yxx3za85zJAmWPq5IisXAkoSwHlL V.

Aug 29, 2013 #### Maison de qualité; propriétaire très présente La maison est agréable, le cadre aussi. La description du site est globalement conforme à la réalité du lieu. Un point très négatif tout de même, c'est la présence régulière et vécue comme intrusive de la propriétaire, qui vient tous les 2 jours (au minimum car nous l'avons vu 12j/15j)),deux fois dans la journée, et ceci à n'importe quelle heure (11h ; 15h30 ; 21h) et sans prévenir. Nous avons même reçu l'intrigante visite d'un neveu venu récupérer des affaires personnelles dans l'appentis du jardin ! ##### CECILE C. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Lily of the Valley](https://www.expedia.ca/Sainte-Maxime-Saint-Tropez-Hotels-Lily-Of-The-Valley.h36418920.Hotel-Information) > > [Deer Park Inn Red Deer](https://www.expedia.ca/Red-Deer-Hotels-Deer-Park-Inn-Red-Deer.h916627.Hotel-Information) > > [YOTELAir Paris CDG - Transit Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Le-Mesnil-Amelot-Hotels-YOTELAir-Paris-CDG-Transit-Hotel.h18900469.Hotel-Information) > > [Family Hotels in Florida](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Florida-Family-Hotel.0-0-d211-tFamilyHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Hotels in Toronto](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels.d178314.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [The Tower Hotel, by Thistle](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-Tower-Hotel.h2479.Hotel-Information) > > [Quality Inn and Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Yorkton-Hotels-Quality-Inn-And-Suites.h9800867.Hotel-Information) > > [Apartments Turks and Caicos](https://www.expedia.ca/Turks-And-Caicos-Apartments.d184-aaApartments.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [The Jangle Hotel - Paris - Charles de Gaulle - Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Le-Mesnil-Amelot-Hotels-The-Jangle-Hotel-Paris-CDG-Airport.h7980.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Restaurant & Spa Au Tilleul](https://www.expedia.ca/Labaroche-Hotels-Hotel-Restaurant-Spa-Au-Tilleul.h24067602.Hotel-Information) > > [Microtel Inn & Suites By Wyndham Val-d Or](https://www.expedia.ca/Val-DOr-Hotels-Microtel-Inn-Suites-By-Wyndham-Val-D-Or.h23112382.Hotel-Information) > > [Princess Family Club Bavaro - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Punta-Cana-Hotels-Princess-Family-Club.h38331395.Hotel-Information) > > [Le Club Mougins](https://www.expedia.ca/Mougins-Hotels-Le-Club-Mougins.h1967419.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Lisbon District](https://www.expedia.ca/Lisbon-District-Hotels.d178278.Travel-Guide-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Belgrade (BZN)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/bzn/vancouver-to-bozeman) > > [Flights from Edmonton (YEG) to Montreal (YUL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/yul/edmonton-to-montreal) > > [Flights from Goffs (YHZ) to Johannesburg (JNB)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yhz/jnb/halifax-to-johannesburg) > > [flights from dauphin airport](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/airports/ydn/flights-from-dauphin-airport) > > [Flights from Montreal (YUL) to Vancouver (YVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yul/yvr/montreal-to-vancouver) > > [Flights from Montreal (YUL) to Aluva (COK)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yul/cok/montreal-to-cochin) > > [Flights from Pearson Intl. to NYC-All Airports](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/nyc/toronto-to-new-york) ### Cars > [Car rentals in Toronto](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Toronto.d178314.Car-Rental-Guide) ### Packages > [Cancun Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Cancun.d179995.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [Vancouver](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations/178315/Vancouver) ### General
