Located in a former hotel, this apartment has breathtaking sea views. We particularly love the main bedroom with its four-poster bed and ocean vistas (there's also an office area here if you want to write a travel blog or catch up on work). In fact, there are sea views to enjoy from most rooms. The highlight, though, for us, is the private garden area around the apartment – you have a terrace and garden furniture for alfresco meals – it's a great space overlooking the Grande Plage, as well as the Pointe de la Garde.

Spend idyllic days on the Grande Plage on your doorstep or indulge in some water sports such as surfing, paddleboarding or take some catamaran lessons. If you fancy exploring further afield, then Cape Fréhel, to the west, is perfect for bird watchers, or the nearby charming resort of Saint-Cast-le-Guildo has a small port and coastal paths.

While the Mediterranean beaches in the south of France are constantly lauded, the ruggedly beautiful seaside spots at the top end of the country are underrated by comparison. If you want to see a splendid example of one such resort, this home in Sables-d'Or-les-Pins will convert almost anybody.

There's almost something quite rustic about the address, whether it's the large tree-filed garden surrounding the house or the pretty stone facade. Behind the front door, it's a little more contemporary than you might imagine, with the sort of stark white walls, smart wooden floors and sleek kitchen surfaces that wouldn't look out of place in a stylish city apartment. Saying that, the living room's large window and feature fireplace add a level of cosiness, although sadly the latter is only decorative.

Such is the humble size of the local town, the bulk of the attractions and conveniences are only a short walk away. The main beach is 1km, for instance, while there are tennis and golf facilities all of two minutes away on foot. In the centre of town, there's a small selection of restaurants and bars to tide you over during your visit.

This delightful home is a countryside dream. Quaint in style, this home is part of a magnificent 400-year-old building, beautifully renovated and modernised. Exuding calm, you will feel the ambience before you even enter. Soft cream stone and white shutters set the scene for the beauty that resides indoors. The open-plan kitchen and living space is a wonderful opportunity to enjoy a romantic evening cooking dinner. The moss green chaise centrepiece is where you may kick your slippers off and pop your feet up for an evening in front of the open fireplace. Moving up your spiral staircase, you’ll find a lovely bedroom decorated in French chic decor. Archway doorways, beamed ceilings and soft cream interiors set the scene for a restful night's sleep. 

On waking in the morning, peek out of your delightful windows across the countryside. Feel the warmth of the sun on your face and a gentle breeze as you sip on your morning coffee. Whilst you’ll be residing in this serene rural area, you’ll smell the salt water with the beaches only 2km away. Close to the village centre and quaint shops, you’ll have plenty to entertain you across the Emerald Coast. 

Moss Cottage

First Aid Kit

If you're after a comfortable and stylish place to call home while exploring the beautiful Brittany coastline, then look no further than this family-size house with everything needed for an endlessly relaxing stay. Located on the outskirts of Saint-Briac, you're a short walk from several sandy beaches and outstanding golf courses, while being just 1.5 kilometres from the town centre, full of charm and character, with granite houses, small cobbled streets, bakeries, shops, and seafood restaurants. 

Architecturally, it's a stunning design and we love how the owners have made use of the space. With the double-vaulted ceiling, skylights, and floor-to-ceiling windows making the home wonderfully inviting and open. Whether you're cooking in the contemporary kitchen, mapping out the daily plans around the dining table, or enjoying your holiday read in the cosy living area, it's all in one space so you can really make the space into your own social sanctuary. 

The star of the show is the large decked terrace outside, complete with seating and a barbecue for alfesco meals in the sunshine. When it's time to head out, walk to the pristine sand of Plage Du Bechet or Plage De La Salinette, and enjoy fun-filled days sunbathing and swimming. 

Pure & Simple

Self Check-in / Check-out

Balcony

Perched cliffside above the beach of Saint-Énogat, this apartment offers idyllic sea views and makes the perfect setting for a restorative retreat on the Emerald Coast. 

From the outset, you’ll want to pause and admire the striking facade of this building – it evokes a wonderful sense of tradition and ushers you inside with a warm welcome. Head up one flight of stairs and you’ll find this apartment adds a contemporary touch to the rustic charm of its setting. From the light-filled living room styled in calming tones to the simple bedroom (with its own private balcony), every detail inspires a wonderful sense of relaxation. 

Enjoy quiet mornings with a coffee listening to the sound of the waves, sip refreshing drinks as the sunsets and prepare simple meals inspired by the fresh local produce – Saint-Énogat’s weekly market is just a short walk away. And when you’re refreshed and ready to explore, wander straight down to the beach or visit the beautiful coves and towns dotted along the coast – Saint-Malo is less than a twenty-five-minute drive away.

Maison Perle

Rain Shower

Wheelchair Access

We fell hard for this characterful home not far from the St Lunaire coastline and we're pretty sure other guests will be just as smitten. A lot of that is down to the design. Much of it is contemporary in scope, from the minimalist kitchen and stark white walls to the bare wooden floors and the chic selection of furnishings. However, there are a few features that hark back to the past, like the large cabinets filled with curios and the vintage wall signs.

One of our favourite parts of the home, however, is just how bright it feels – that's what'll happen if you fill the walls with large windows, skylights and floor-to-ceiling glass doors. If you want to feel the sun directly on your skin, you only have to step outside onto one of the pair of terraces, which have both loungers and an alfresco dining table for making the most of sunny weather.

If you're lucky with the forecast, you'll probably want to make the most of the fact that St Lunaire's main beach is less than a kilometre away and there are a few more along this stretch of Breton coastline to explore. The centre of town is just as close when you want restaurants and shops, but there's a greater variety in the Dinard, only a short drive away.

Spend a leisurely morning sipping coffee on the terrace before heading to Fréhel's nautical centre for a spot of surfing the waves, exploring lagoons via paddle board or even boating across the Atlantic Ocean via catamaran. 

Oceanview Villa

Just 300 metres from the beach as well as the numerous shops, cafes, terrace bars, and restaurants of the typically Breton coastal town of Saint-Lunaire, this apartment has mastered the art of understated elegance. 

Plain white walls, a chic grey tile floor, and wooden countertops lend the space an air of simplicity, whilst carefully chosen accents such as the statement brown suede sofa and almost 60s-style dining set create a somewhat retro atmosphere. Step outside and you'll find a lovely furnished terrace that's perfect for a morning cup of coffee in the seaside sunshine or a pre-dinner glass of wine. 

As well as the idyllic beach, you will find golfing, tennis, surfing, and sailing opportunities in the local area – not to mention the bustling authentic eateries serving up Breton specialties and wonderfully fresh seafood.

Saint-Lunaire Atelier

Shared Washing Machine

This contemporary gem offers an idyllic coastal base from which to explore the charming town of Saint-Lunaire and its Emerald Coast. After a day soaking up the sun on the sands of De Longchamp Beach and admiring the scenery from Pointe De La Garde Guérin, this is an inviting home to return to.  

Inside, you'll find a crisp white palette, natural textures and modern furnishings. Start your day with a couple of warm and flaky croissants at the sleek table, then head out to Rocher Napoleon, where you can admire the sprawling Atlantic views. When you return home, pop open a bottle of Chenin Blanc and sink into the cosy sofa with your holiday read. Next, rustle up a regional dinner of buckwheat galettes in the dynamic kitchen. You’ll fall blissfully asleep in the calm and coastal bedroom and awake ready to take on a hike along the Emerald Coast.

Location-wise, you're a few minutes’ walk from De Longchamp Beach, where you can spend days enjoying picnics and making memories with your loved ones. 

Emerald Coast Gem

Paid Parking On Street

With captivating views of the twinkling waters of Erquy's port de pêche, this home provides a great base from which to begin your own seaside odyssey, exploring the myriad sights, sounds, smells, and tastes that make coastal France so uniquely beguiling. 

Tear open those windows and feel the sea air rush in and fill the surprisingly wide-open, uncluttered spaces of the apartment – we can't think of many better ways to start a day than with a few invigorating breaths of salty-sweet oceanic breeze. After a light brunch on the patio, Erquy and its surrounds are beckoning, its delights just waiting to be uncovered. 

Frequent some of the many local ice cream parlors, restaurants, or bars located just a stone's throw from the apartment for a taste of authentic Breton cuisine. Mosy to the nearest beach, just 5-minutes walk away. Or, for something a little more active, why not sign up for the well-regarded sailing school, surf classes, or hire a jet ski for an afternoon of wave-riding? Those with a penchant for golf are in luck too, with the 18-hole course at Pléneuf Val just 10-minutes away by car.

The Fisherman's Friend

Lift Access

Ideally positioned, just footsteps from Sillon Beach, this bright and modern home is all about kicking back and relaxing. Wake up feeling refreshed in the soft yellow bedroom before plating up a stack of crêpes at the matte grey kitchenette. Recline on the plump sofa and get lost in a paperback or fill your lungs with the fresh sea air on your private balcony. 

When you’re ready to explore, the heart of Saint-Malo is a short walk away. Soak up unobstructed views of the marina from the city walls then swot up on your French history at Château de Saint-Malo. At low tide, discover the Grand Bé after basking in the sunshine on Plage de Bon-Secours. Finish the day with a feast of Breton cuisine followed by a glass or two of wine in a local restaurant. 

Footsteps From the Sand

A serene spot on the beachfront in Saint-Malo, this seaside escape invites guests to make ever-lasting memories in delightfully blissful conditions. Built in 1906, you'll be just metres away from the sandy shores of le Grande Plage. With direct beach access via the stairs in front of the villa, from here, you're encouraged to meditate, do yoga, or relax while taking in the stunning blue views with a cup of tea in hand. Inside the beach villa, classic and nautical designs present a home bursting with character. We love the antique furniture pieces which add traditional French charm with bags of elegance. 

Thanks to its on-point location, you can enjoy scenic beach walks, rollerblading or cycling on the seawall. There's also a surf school just 200 metres away, and if actively participating in watersports isn't your thing, the beach's kitesurfers, windsurfers or surfers will guarantee an excellent show. Meanwhile, a mini-market and the many nearby restaurants offer an endless opportunity to sample the local Brittany delicacies and fresh seafood in Saint-Malo. 



Staring out to Sea 

Sound System

Boasting a sunny south-facing garden, all you need is a little aperitif to relax in this French beauty. Before even entering the home itself, you will be charmed by the outdoor dining space – picture yourself relaxing in the French sunshine while the barbecue smoulders in the background and the happy chatter of your loved ones fills the air. 

Step inside and you’ll find calming white and grey colour schemes which are perfectly in keeping with the home’s seaside location. We love the very distinct nod to the coast with the quirky headboards, our favourites being the driftwood headboard and the one made of paddle boards. This home simply oozes a laid-back luxury vibe – you cannot help but feel relaxed when it takes you in and wraps you up in its cool coastal charm.

Mornings are made for the beach here, so take a sunrise stroll as the water saturates the warm sand – after all, you are only 500 metres from the beach. With your home nestled between the beaches of Fosse aux Vaults and Fourberie, you can spend your days exploring this beautiful stretch of the Emerald Coast, making memories that will last a lifetime. 

Driftwood Dream

Situated just 10 metres from the beach and a short walk from the heart of Erquy, this straight-talking apartment is ideal for a small family or two couples. Inside, it’s calm and collected with vintage furnishings in the living space and a sleek kitchen with everything you need for putting together Breton-inspired dishes. Begin your mornings with a coffee on the quiet balcony before grabbing your seaside essentials and skipping down to the stretch of golden sand. 

Stroll into town for freshly caught scallops in a local restaurant then explore the Cap d’Erquy moors. Head home in the late afternoon to watch the sun set over the harbour with a glass of wine in hand. And when it’s time to get some rest, an early night is impossible to resist thanks to the supremely comfortable beds dressed in crisp, white linens.

Harbour & Tide

For a Brittany beach stay like no other, this contemporary dwelling has it all. Nautical style, modern amenities and space to stretch out and relax after long days of swimming and sunbathing. And did we mention that sea view? 

Stays here are as laidback and lovely as the photos suggest. Wake up each morning with a full French breakfast on your cute dining set. Open the floor-to-ceiling patio doors and breathe in the sea air from your sunny terrace. Head down to the beach, located just a stone’s throw away, and paddle, play or put your feet up. Then return for a relaxing evening in, and sit out on the deckchairs with a bottle of French wine as you watch the sunset.

If you want to venture out beyond the beach, you’re also ideally located to explore Pléneuf-Val-André, a vibrant seaside resort boasting quaint cafes, elegant restaurants and lively bars. Bienassis Castle is based just a short drive away too if you fancy soaking up some French history. Or, take a trip up the coastline to explore more rugged shores and golden sands.

There's something special about waking up to a view each morning, and at this bright and cheerful apartment in Saint-Malo you'll have just that. Whether you're waking up from your restful slumbers in the comfortable bedrooms and cradling a cup of coffee on the balcony, enjoying breakfast in the light-filled dining area, or catching up with friends in the stylish living space, views of Solidor beach can be admired from every angle. 

Throw open the windows, kick back on the velvet sofa and relax with the sea breeze washing over you, as you map out the day ahead. We love the palm-themed artwork and rattan details that add to the cool and calm feel around the home. 

When it's time to head out, grab your seaside essentials and take the short walk to the sandy beach right on your doorstep for a day of sunbathing and swimming. And if you're in town for sightseeing, you can reach the historic centre of Intra-Muros in fifteen minutes on foot along the coast. There's also a fish market on the square of St Servan nearby and a small oyster market every Sunday on the Place Bouvet square. 

Sea Through You

Tucked just two streets from the sands of Plage des Bas Sablons, this bold apartment offers a charming base to make the most of the historic port city, Saint-Malo. And whether you’re visiting with a culturally-packed itinerary, on a hiking excursion, or for a spontaneous coastal break with the family, this is the kind of space you’ll look forward to spending time in. 

The vibrant hues of cobalt and marigold create a playful atmosphere here – we love the light-filled living room with its layered rugs and plump velvet sofa where we imagine you’ll spend afternoons stretched out with your holiday read and a glass of Rosé d'Anjou. There’s a vivid kitchen for preparing dinners with the produce you picked up from Marché de Saint-Servan, and after a day perusing the promenade and touring Saint-Vincent Cathedral of Saint-Malo, you’ll look forward to a blissful night’s sleep in the soft and stylish bedrooms. 

Saint Malo’s pristine sand beaches are just a short stroll away – grab a flaky pastry from your local boulangerie before enjoying a morning swim. At the golden hour, sample a couple of locally-caught oysters and a glass of Muscadet overlooking the bobbing boats in the port.

Cobalt Marigold

Sitting close to the point at which La Rance meets La Manche, this home puts guests in an excellent location for exploring the famed beach resort of Dinard.

However, it's fair to say that there's a lot more riding in this address's favour that the spot it occupies on the map. For a start, it's actually made up of two properties that have been joined up and consequently, there's a huge amount of space behind the front door – something only emphasised by the open layout and wealth of natural light from the large windows. Added to that, the design is sleek and contemporary throughout, especially the minimalist kitchen and bathrooms.

There are wonderful views of the coastline to be had out through the windows and you can enjoy these with a sea breeze on your face as you take up residence on the large terrace, which wraps around two sides of the home. As well as that, guests also get the run of a small garden where it's easy to find a shady spot.

When you want to see a little more of the town that has drawn in illustrious visitors for quite some time, there's a coastal path all of 20m from the path that will take you around the coastline and to the golden sands of Plage de l'Écluse. There are restaurants and shops aplenty in the centre of Dinard, about 1km away, while you also have the option of catching a ten-minute taxi-boat to Saint-Malo if you wish.

Maison Grâce

This is a charming, renovated terraced house surrounded by fields on the outskirts of Fréhel. The property features a beautiful wildlife garden and private parking for two cars. The house has comfortable and tasteful furnishings, including a lounge with a flat-screen TV and a large kitchen equipped with modern appliances, such as an oven, dishwasher, toaster, kettle, microwave, electric coffee machine, and raclette grill. The upper floor has two bedrooms with sloping ceilings, one with a French bed and the other with a single bed. The property also features a large south-facing terrace with porch and outdoor furniture, including deck chairs and a barbecue grill. Guests can enjoy nearby attractions like Cap Fréhel, Fort La Latte, Erquy, Pléneuf-Val-André, Saint-Cast-le-Guildo, Dinard, and Saint-Malo. Hiking enthusiasts can explore the GR 34 trail. Please note that a car is recommended to fully enjoy the surrounding area.

Cleaning Products

This is one of those homes that will have you completely smitten before you've even stepped foot behind the front door. Sitting within huge grounds just off the coastline in Sables D'or les Pins, there are gorgeous sea views to be had from the garden and no shortage of spots from which to appreciate this peaceful coastal setting, including a large terrace with a barbecue and dining table ready and waiting for feasts that stretch long into the evening.

The scenery is no less pretty out through the large windows inside and one of the first-floor bedrooms is treated to a balcony as well so you can get a blast of sea air the very moment you wake up. However, don't forget to lavish a little attention on the carefully put-together interior, which is both contemporary and quirky. Cleansingly white walls and ceilings play host to an eclectic collection of artwork and lighting fixtures, while the bright red bathtub is certainly eye-catching, too.

As you would hope given the proximity of La Manche, the home enjoys direct access to the beach, which feels almost like an extension of the garden. In the other direction, there are shops, restaurants and markets just over five minutes' walk from the home, as well as other attractions a short drive away – Les Jardins de Ker Louis can be reached in a quarter of an hour, for instance.

King of the Coast

This stunning stone-built home in Saint Briac boasts breath-taking sea views, an enclosed garden and artsy, elegant interiors. Mere metres away from the beach, this fabulous French home features a lovely, light filled open-plan kitchen, dining and living room courtesy big west-facing picture windows, perfect for family get-togethers. 

In the summer months you’ll love spending time in the gorgeous garden, barbecuing a feast of fresh fish and seafood and dining alfresco surrounded by shrubs and flowering plants. Be sure to have a glass of wine to hand as the sun goes down.  At chillier times of year, prepare family favourites in the whitewashed and wood kitchen, gather around the wooden table or gaze out to sea from the second dining area. Pick up a book or just give yourself permission to kick back and relax on the sofa in front of the fire before indulging in a long, hot soak in the tub.

If you fancy a little more activity, spend the day down at the beach or try your hand at sailing, windsurfing or kitesurfing. There’s also the possibility of playing golf, tennis or going horse riding nearby. 


Painted Pictures

This pretty half-timbered house from the 17th century is located right in the heart of the fairytale-esque Breton town of Dinan and comfortably accommodates up to four guests in its quirky, lovingly-decorated interior that boast its own unique character. 

With a charming blend of original wood features, painted frescos, eye-catching mosaic tiles, and picture frame windows that let in plenty of light, the home feels like it has been lifted from the pages of a Brothers Grimm fairytale. Open up the windows on the ground floor and be greeted by the gentle hum of everyday French village life beyond its pane, allowing the sunlight to stream in whilst you linger over breakfast or a book. 

Step over the threshold and you'll find yourself in the midst of things here in Dinan, with everything from boulangeries to historical attractions right on your doorstep, whilst the coast and its iconic towns such as Saint-Malo are just a short drive away.

The Fairytale Townhouse

And just a short walk from the beach, this apartment welcomes you to discover the beauty of this northern enclave. 

From sun-dappled strolls along the Au Clair de Lune promenade to setting sail on boat trips and browsing colourful market stalls, it's easy to fall in love with the charm of this special location. And when you’re in search of rest and relaxation, this home opens its doors with a warm and uplifting welcome. 

Savour drinks and candlelit meals around the table, get cosy on the sofa with a book and find a wonderful sense of relaxation in the bedrooms. Whether you’re here for an action-packed getaway or a slow-paced escape, this apartment will leave you feeling renewed and ready to explore. 

Sea Sage 

Perfect for a couple, this contemporary oasis in Lanvallay is a real gem. Spend mornings sipping freshly-brewed coffee in the shared garden with today’s paper, afternoons reclining on the plump blue sofa sipping a glass of Muscadet, and evenings in the sleek kitchen rustling up a regional cheese plate – either way, this elegant home is a welcoming space to spend time in.

Inside, there are contemporary designs and a stunning scenic feature wall that creates a sense of calm. It’s a bright and inviting space to unwind after a day strolling the cobbled streets and exploring the 14th-century Dinan Castle, a short drive away. 

Soak up the Brittany culture in Dinan with a tour of the medieval half-timbered houses, a visit to the 15th-century artillery tower of Tour du Coëtquen, and an authentic dinner of pork rillettes at a family-owned bistrot. As evening descends, amble along The Rance River with a sweet chantilly crêpe in hand. 

Scenic & Serene

Gorgeously restored with consideration and keen eye for detail, this converted farmhouse offers the best of both archetypal rural France and chic modernity. 

The beautifully finished living area is characterised by its plush furnishings and luxurious finishing touches, lending the entire space a sense of glamour and of occasion. The kitchen, with the same eye-catching exposed stone detailing which runs throughout the property, provides a great place for everyone to come together and prepare a meal based on Breton specialities, including the freshest local seafood pulled from the water which lies just a stone’s throw away. For those with a hankering for vitamin-sea, the superb wide sandy beach of La Guimorais is just 5-minutes’ walk from the property.

Make your way upstairs and you will find two beautifully decorated bedrooms, each of which is filled with light and a feeling of height, thanks to its sloping loft ceilings that reach up into the eaves of the old building. Old stonework contrasts with cool contemporary wallpaper in the master bedroom, continuing the theme of ‘old-meets-new’ which makes the home so captivating, and an elegant standalone bathtub provides an extra unique touch. Imagine soaking in the bath in the comfort of your bedroom, looking out of the opposite window as dusk falls, before heading back downstairs and out onto the terrace for a glass of wine or an alfresco barbecue as evening turns to night.

You’ll find everything you could need during your stay in the delightful village of Saint Coulomb, just 2.5 kilometres from the property, whilst the iconic seaside town of Saint Malo with its historical walled centre and tidal fortress is but 10 kilometres away. 

Elemental Harmony

Juicer

Overlooking a small beach on the atmospheric shores of Dinard, this traditional family home has been lovingly restored into a private seaside sanctuary. 

Set across two floors with an adjoining self-contained apartment, you’ll find an abundance of space to relax and savour the simple pleasures of coastal living. From laid-back gatherings in the living room to refreshing drinks in the garden and intimate candlelit dinners, this is the kind of space that inspires you to settle in and make it your own. And with Dinard’s colourful market just a short walk away, you’ll find it easy to connect with the authentic charm of Brittany. 

From here, it’s just a five-minute walk to Prieuré beach where days can be spent strolling along the sand, embracing ice-cold swims, picnics and incredible views of nearby Saint-Malo (just a fifteen-minute drive away). Families will love the close proximity to the mini-golf course, while Promenade du Clair de Lune makes the perfect setting to watch the sunset. 

Primrose Sea

Situated just 50 metres from the nearest beach, this charming, Saint-Malo home is a great base for your next couple's retreat to historic Brittany. Step inside and unwind in the marine-inspired living area, where you’ll find a whole host of coastal-themed artworks and soft furnishings to make you feel at home the second you step over the threshold. Destress with a glass of wine, rustle up a French-inspired feast, or throw on your favourite DVD and settle in for a romantic movie night on the sofa. Whatever your mood, this place has got you covered. 

Of course, it wouldn’t be a coastal escape without a trip to the beach, so why not wander down to Plage de Bon-Secours for a day of sun, sea, and sand with your significant other? Go for a relaxing stroll along the coast or stay put and watch the sun go down over the glistening water, then head back home for a good night’s rest in your cosy, king-size bed. We can’t imagine anything better.

All Summer Long

Heated Pool

Swimming Pool

This lovely home is a real delight. It was recently renovated, and has been beautifully decorated – you can tell how much love has gone into this home. Hues of green and jade run throughout the decor, resulting in a soothing vibe. When you’re on holiday, you want to be able to relax in style, and that’s just what you can do here. 

The stunning monochrome kitchen is a great place to begin your day, whether you’re simply preparing coffee or whipping up a feast. Everything you might need has been considered here, so cooking is a pleasure rather than a chore. When everyone is seated around the dining table, you’ll see why this home is so popular with families and groups of friends – there’s plenty of room for everyone to gather together. 

If the sun is shining, you’ll want to be outside. Lie out on a sun lounger to top up your Vitamin D, or dive right into the heated swimming pool. The south-facing terrace is a wonderful spot, looking out over the lush gardens – we’d be tempted to fire up the barbecue for a dinner under the stars. You’re close to the coast so the seafood is great – the scallops from the Bay of Saint-Brieuc in particular are divine. 


Jungle Greens

Nestled in the heart of town – just 100 metres from the breathtaking Plage de l'Écluse – this chic home is perfectly placed for experiencing all that prestigious Dinard has to offer. Whether you’re here for the coastal vistas, luxury casinos, or myriad art galleries, this place has got you covered, situated within easy reach of all the major attractions. 

Start your day with a cup of coffee on the terrace, then set off for a day of sightseeing in the town centre. There’s no need for a car here, but if you fancy exploring further afield, you’ll be pleased to discover a parking spot with your name on it in the basement garage. Go for a scenic drive along the coast, then come home and unwind in the open-plan living area, a book in one hand and a glass of one of Brittany’s finest wines in the other. We don’t know about you, but we’re pretty sure it doesn’t get much better than that. 

A Flock of Flamingos

Sun Umbrellas

Once a home for horses, this former stable is perfectly placed for a visit to Rennes. Tucked nicely near Thabor Gardens, it allows you to be close to the city yet far enough away from the hustle and bustle that you can enjoy some much-needed quiet time whenever you retreat back home. 
 
With nods to its history through exposed beams and brickwork, this recently renovated home has been beautifully modernised, while retaining its charm. The sleek, modern kitchen is a delight to cook in, should you decide an evening at home is preferred over dining out. Climb the spiral staircase and you’ll find two comfortable bedrooms to choose from, both of which guarantee a blissful night’s sleep. A fairly neutral palette is broken up throughout the home with pops of colour, giving the whole space a calming, cosy vibe.

Our favourite part of this home is the terrace. Quite the sun trap during the day, it’s a peaceful place to retreat to as evening sets in. Grab yourself a bottle of fine French wine and settle down on the sofas with your loved ones. As night falls and a blanket of stars breaks out above, listen to the quiet chatter of your loved ones and feel yourself relax. This is where memories are made. 

Once Upon a Stable

Sauna

Garden Games

Overlooking the bay of Cancale, soak up majestic sea views from every room of this home located just 800 metres away from Saussaye Beach. On a clear day, the views even stretch as far as the islands of Chausey and the iconic Mont St Michel. 

The perfect getaway for a family and those travelling with children, the home presents a large space area which frames the view like a piece of artwork at the centre of the room. Gaze out at the stillness of the sea from the window seat, and you might even wind up in a meditative state. You'll also find a cosy reading corner which invites you to select a book from the home library. 

Open up the French doors leading out onto the spectacular terrace area where the group can gather around the alfresco dining area for barbecues by the sea. When the weather is kind, what better than a spot of sunbathing on the loungers in a prime position of those glistening views? 

With a dormitory-style bedroom with six single beds, the children will enjoy sharing a room on one giant sleepover. Meanwhile, the garden shed equipped with games and bicycles will keep the whole family occupied for hours. 

After fun-filled days on the beach (you'll be just a few minutes away from the most beautiful beaches of the Emerald Coast here), the home sauna awaits for some blissful moments of relaxation. Of course, even from the sauna – you won't miss a moment away from the stunning sea view. 

An ideal base for exploring Britanny and the likes of Mont St Michel, Port Mer Beach (900 metres away) and the beach of Le Verger La Pointe du Grouin – found a fifteen-minute walk away. 



Stillness of the Sea

In the heart of the walled city of Saint-Malo, this charming apartment combines mid-century chic with contemporary comfort. And not only is it a lovely place to stay, but it's also in a prime location for exploring this coastal city, less than a kilometre from the beach.

We love the natural theme that runs through the apartment, it has a soothing, earthy feel that's stylish yet comforting. And while it's a homely space, it's beautifully light, thanks to its high ceilings, cream walls, and brightening French doors. The doors lead you out to the delightful balcony, where you can enjoy a fresh cup of coffee or crisp glass of local wine, overlooking the cobbled street below. 

There's a lot to love about Saint-Malo. Whether you're soaking up the sun on the nearby beach, taking a windy coastal walk along the famous walls, learning about the history of the city in one of the many museums, or visiting old pirate hotspots, you won't get bored in a hurry. Round off afternoons in a local wine bar, enjoying a lunch of moules-frites.

Essence of Rose

Embrace the beauty of the sea at Seaside Serenity, a charming and modern 3-room apartment situated in Jullouville. This beachfront haven offers stunning views of the ocean from every window. Relax and rejuvenate in the comfortable living and dining area adorned with beautiful furnishings. Unwind in one of the two inviting bedrooms – one with a French bed and the other with two twin beds. Prepare culinary delights in the well-equipped kitchen featuring modern appliances. The bathroom offers all the necessities, and there is a separate WC for convenience. With its prime location just steps away from the golden sandy beach and within walking distance to shops, cafes, and tourist attractions, Seaside Serenity provides an idyllic retreat for beach lovers and sightseers alike. Immerse yourself in coastal charm at this enchanting getaway.

Ocean Panorama

Private Pool

This slice of tropical modernity comes as quite a surprise in a town known for its medieval ramparts and cobbled streets. A timber cabin-style home that wouldn't look out of place in the world's most exotic corners, it's even set in a private garden that's inspired by the jungle. With three bedrooms and a family-friendly open layout, it's stylish, spacious and smart.

Inside, the wood floors and white walls are calm and neutral, with comfy furnishings and lots of house plants. There's a sleek contemporary kitchen with an island where you can sit on the stools and chat as someone rustles up dinner, and both an indoor and an outdoor dining table.

And it's outside where we think you'll be spending most of your time if you're here in the summer months. Step out of your sliding doors and straight onto the deck, partly shaded with a sail over the comfy loungers. And, you guessed it, this place also comes with a private, heated pool. 

Just hanging out here is pretty perfect in our opinion but when you want to head out and explore, the town is less than half an hour away on foot or a five-minute drive. Book a nearby boat trip, visit St Malo or discover some of the sandy beaches on the coast.

 

Tranquility Basecamp

Bike Shed

Just a nine-minute stroll away from Écluse beach, enjoy a Brittany seaside retreat from the heart of Dinard. 

With French country soul bringing personality to the house, it's easy to switch off and relax when staying here. We love the exposed stone brickwork in the living area; this, combined with the nautical decor, is in keeping with the home's fabulous location by the sea. 

Combining modern designs with practicality and the laid-back lifestyle here, the house invites guests to kick back in comfort, whether socialising together as a group in the garden and main living area or while taking peaceful moments of solitude in the privacy of the bedroom spaces. 

Head out to discover the local vicinity on foot, with Dinard's bars, shops, restaurants, and sailing school, as well as golfing, horseriding and tennis playing opportunities within convenient reach. 




French Country Soul 

This adorable home has everything to suggest it's tucked away in a French village, but it's in the heart of cosmopolitan Rennes. Even the enchanting courtyard will have you convinced you've stepped into a storybook world, not at the foot of St. Peter's Cathedral.

When stepping into this secret garden courtyard, we're practically waiting for Gaston and the townspeople to burst out of the windows and break into song. The sprawling foliage and quaint buildings provide a place where time stands still and you can break away from the thoughts of daily life. First impressions count, and this one will be lasting. 

Inside the cosy home, the owner has thoughtfully cloaked the interior in a modern preference for mid-century design, with a warm-toned colour palette that is vibrant yet soothing. And with plenty of ambience-setting lighting, this home exudes a comforting homeliness. We imagine you'll want to spend a lot of your time soaking up the place – preparing dinner in the well-equipped kitchen to be enjoyed around the beautiful dining table, before getting snug on the plush sofas with a warming hot chocolate beneath the ceiling's original beams. 

While it's easy to spend a lot of time in this calming cottage, it's only right to explore when you're in such a fantastic location. Whether you want to see the city on foot, by bike, by bus, or by metro, it's all readily available here. You're in the heart of Rennes' historical centre, away from the hustle and bustle but close to its charming cobbled streets and historical sights. 

Belle's Chaumière

Few things in life beat waking up to the sound of sea waves – a stay at this gorgeous one-bedroom apartment will afford you this luxury, and much else besides. Situated in a modern complex and facing the Plage du Sillon, this is an ideal spot to base yourself while visiting Saint-Malo – whether a romantic getaway or a trip with a best friend, this place has you covered.  

You’ll be able to enjoy cosy evenings of movies and conversation on the plush sofa, and there’s also an elegant dining table here for those romantic supers and leisurely breakfasts. For a perfect evening drink, step out onto the balcony and let yourself be soothed by the sounds and sights of the coast before you. 

A night of restful sleep and sweet dreams awaits in the comfy bedroom – wake up feeling reinvigorated and plan a day of adventures. 

Outside, you’ll be within easy walking distance from all the exciting shops and restaurants of Saint-Malo, and you can also enjoy the countless scenic walks and nature trails. 

Sea Whispers 

Situated in the desirable commune of Lamballe-Armor, this contemporary farmhouse is an ideal base for a family or group of friends after a coastal retreat with a little extra sparkle. Stepping inside, you'll find clean lines, an open-plan layout and floor-to-ceiling windows that make an instant impression. We love the striking wood-burning stove, connecting the chic living space with a light-filled dining area and sleek chef's kitchen for seamless modern living. 

Pour yourself a glass of something bubbly, before soaking up the sun from your private roof terrace with dazzling sea views. Relax on a lounger or enjoy lunch alfresco as you top up your tan. There are several furnished terraces, perfectly suited for your outdoor dining needs, including a pretty patio area and garden at the back of the house. 

Location-wise, you're a five-minute stroll from the sandy beach of Port Morvan for effortless afternoons relaxing by the crystal waters. We also recommend a visit to the beautiful fishing port of Dahouet and the seaside resort of Val André – both are just five minutes away by car.
