What more could we ask for? Nothing.

About six months ago, my husband and I started planning our two-week trip to France. I wanted to spend the first half of our holiday traveling to see as many sites as possible (We started in Paris and then drove down the coast through Archachon to Marseillan Plage), and the second half just relaxing by the beach. I put together a checklist of what we wanted in a beach holiday rental:
• Near a village, so we could walk to get bread and other groceries, and yet far enough away so we could have some privacy
• Near to communities, so we could drive an hour and explore more of the history
• Near to wineries and nice restaurants
• As close to the beach as possible, and with a deck/terrace facing it
• Air conditioning
• Parking
• Clean and well-equipped with kitchen supplies, Internet, beach chairs etc.
• Well priced
This rental meets all those requirement, plus more. What is included in the “plus more?” One word: hospitality. The owner and property management staff went above and beyond in helping us plan our trip, offering suggestions, sending updates and inquiries before and after the trip, and in welcoming us to the property. We felt like we were well cared for during our time at Marseillan Plage (Thank you Graham, Dominique, Nicole and Ludivine!).
I highly recommend this property.
TIPS:
Agde
My husband and I timed how long it takes to get to Agde: 5 minutes. That’s it. Go there for groceries to the Hyper Supermarche. It’s much better than going to Marseillan Plage where items are picked over and much higher priced.
There are also outdoor markets in Agde and much to do. We loved the old town center, including the street named “Ru de Amor.” It’s so close and you can find so much to do.
Marseillan
This is a wonderful little port community. We ate here twice, walked along the port and watched the sail boats. It’s gorgeous, and the food was divine.
Sete
It's about a 10-minute drive away, and there is a lot to explore. We enjoyed eating at AmeriKlub. It's expensive, but the food was very good and the location is to-die-for. It's a place to go if you want to get dressed up and have a romantic meal or night out.
Wineries
They are EVERYWHERE! You could go to wine tastings and tours every day all day and never have to buy a bottle. There are grape vines everywhere.
