Large Comfortable 4 bedroom Vendee Holiday house, 150m from Beach Reviews

Brilliant position for beach lovers just 5 mins stroll from a long sandy beach with fascinating rock pools at low tide. A cycle track is also close to the house. Small shops nearby and more in the St Vincent and Jard-sur-mer which has a fine Monday market which set us up with goodies for the week, a huge supermarket and a pleasant port with lots of restaurants. Fish is excellent everywhere. Easy driving to many interesting places from La Rochelle and the Ile de Re to Noirmutier, the Marais Poitevin, some excellent vineyards - and a fine local castle at Talmont. If you like dolmen & menhirs well they are all around, and there seemed to be an extraordinary number of water parks for children in the area.

The house is comfortable, quiet, well equipped and has loads of space. Two wash/shower rooms with two separate toilets makes group living very easy. There's a good oven and fridge and a large dining table for group eating, with another under the vines outside. The lawn out the front is good for kids. It's very much a family house, homely rather than smart, and that suited us fine.
