Lovely French Coast Holiday Home to Rent in Jard Sur Mer, Vendee Reviews

We love Jard Sur Mer in general, and this house in particular. For us, it feels like ‘coming home’. It’s clean, comfortable and well-resourced. The beds are comfortable and the wifi is very effective. The integrated garage gives access to a washing machine and freezer, and the little garden is a sun trap. We love listening to the games of pétanque being played over the wall! The house sits in a quiet residential street, which is very close to all of the town’s amenities. You could enjoy yourself without having to move your car!

We have stayed here on several occasions over the last eleven years, but usually in July, so we were curious to see what it would be like in September. We loved it!

The town takes on a more relaxed atmosphere as the locals reclaim their town. We always found a table in the local cafés, where we were able to enjoy our coffee and watch the world go by, before visiting the wide range of local shops to buy ingredients for the evening meal. The Monday market is still busy and vibrant, and it’s great to be able to practise your French with the very friendly traders. The Port de Plaisance, which is only a 15 minute walk from the house, offers views of the ocean, sandy beaches and a row of restaurants and cafés. It’s lovely to have a meal or a drink in a restaurant with a view! Further afield, there is an array of towns, villages and attractions to visit, that will entertain the young and the old alike.

Martin’s level of communication, both before the vacation and, in written form within the house, reflects the level of care he takes with his property. We look forward to returning in the future and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend visiting out with the peak season.

Stayed here in August, very well equipped and comfortable property, close to the town and beaches, and has everything you would need for a great holiday. Lovely alfresco dining, very private yet close to everything perfect

Great accommodation situated only a short walk from the centre. Accommodation was immaculate when we arrived and had everything you'd need for a small family. Place itself was beautiful with everything from sandy beaches, great places to eat and things to do/see when the weather wasn't so good - managed to keep 2 four year olds and an 8 year old happy for the week! Totally recommend this property and the area as a whole, so much so will be coming back next year for more.....

Had a lovely stay here in the summer. The information suppllied beforehand was fantastic. The gite was clean and very well equipped and ideally located within walking distance to the town, harbour, shops and beaches. A great base to explore from if you want to get out, or everything on your doorstep if you don't!

This property is clearly a family home as well as a rental. It is spacious, spotlessly clean, and extremely well equipped. Jard sur Mer itself is a lovely location - there are boulangeries, restaurants and bars within easy walking distance of the property. The small enclosed garden is a sun trap and lovely for meals outside. The weather when we stayed was extremely hot even by French standards so we didn’t use this space as much as we had intended. We would highly recommend this property. The only (very small) downside to the property - in the high temperatures that we had - was that a pool would have been a welcome addition.

We have stayed in Jard Sur Mer before but this was the first time at this property. It had plenty of room for our family of four and would comfortably sleep 6. The house was clean and tidy when we arrived and has a bath, shower and separate WC . We received brilliant and comprehensive communication from the owner ahead of our stay. The house is situated within a 5 minute walk of one of the best Rotisseries, plenty of bakers, a great fruit and veg shop, a wine shop and plenty of lovely shops for gifts and 'holiday stuff'! The house and garden were like a home from home. The internet is very good, there is no TV but we didn't miss it. There are little bars and cafes nearby and a multitude of great restaurants (Kou De Ta, Transat and Le Canott - some of our favourites - however there are many more). There is a Pizza takeaway within walking distance of the property. We hardly used the car at all. The beaches are some of the best in the country. Again within a 10-15 minute walk depending on which one you go to. We will definitely book again at some point. It is a great place with everything you need in and around for a great holiday!

My friend and I stayed here at the start of October and were blessed with lovely autumn sunshine so were able to take full advantage of the the wonderful beaches in the area, as well as the garden. The house is very well equipped, with modern appliances, everything you might need in the kitchen, fast wi-fi and the ability to Bluetooth to the Hi-Fi. There are thoughtful touches, such as games, books about the area and wine so you can improve your knowledge before the trip to the supermarket to take some home! There is plenty of space in the house, with comfy beds and sofas, and plenty of storage space (including lots of hangers!) There is everything you need to enjoy the garden - plenty of seats, table, umbrella and BBQ, so you can relax with your book and listen to the locals playing boules over the wall. The house is an excellent base, situated in the centre of the town. If you don't want to get the car out again all holiday you don't need to as you are in walking distance of all essential holiday amenities, including boulangeries with amazing patisseries for holiday treats. There are plenty of restaurants providing everything from snacks to three course meals. We had a wonderful week and will definitely be back!

We have stayed at this property a number of times and still love comig back. It is home from home - everything you need for a relaxing holiday is provided. It is well equipped from brillo pads to fabric conditioners, beach umbrella to a set of beach boule. It provides spacious and comfortable living accommodation togther with a secluded suntrap garden and patio with table and chairs - just right for a relaxing meal and glass of wine. The lounge features flat screen tv (both Engl;ish and French reception) togther with blue ray DVD and WiFi. It is a two minute walk to the centre of a lovely and vibrant seaside town, with several patisseries, a butcher and fantatsic fresh vegetable shop. There is also an excellent supermarket 3 minutes drive away. There are a number of beautiful sandy beaches close by where you can swim, wind surf or just walk. There is a terrace bar not far from the house and a variety of very good restaurants close to the harbour and sea front about 15 minutes walk away. It is a very friendly and welcoming town and the perfect place to enjoy many wonderful holidays!
