Villa

Close to surfing, water skiing, and more, this smoke-free villa brings it all within reach. There's convenient onsite parking, so you can leave your vehicle behind and let your feet make short work of the 9-minute walk to Arcachon Bay or the 12-minute walk to Bay of Biscay.

Relax by the heated pool or sip a drink in the garden of this 1938-sq-ft villa, which also features a balcony and outdoor furniture. For a change of scenery, come inside and enjoy the free WiFi and TV.

As you settle into this 5-bedroom, 5-bathroom rental, you'll find a dining area, a BBQ grill, a fireplace, and air conditioning. Bathroom amenities include a hair dryer and towels. Prepare a home-cooked meal in the kitchen, complete with an oven, a stovetop, and a refrigerator, as well as a coffee maker, an electric kettle, and a lobster pot. And because there's a washer and dryer, you can go a bit lighter on your packing.
