“Dear Jane,

We are already missing our throwback to the thirties, the rhapsody of bohemia, Charleston and beads on the verandah, free and easy living .....

Inspired by your family of burrowers we spent our first day on return contemplating a bigger run and more liberty for our two .................
Such was the impact of our wonderful stay in your two lovely houses ... Amazing how a few days away can improve one’s outlook on life and give renewed energy. It was all a bit special, thank you.

Love to you and Archie, garcon extraordinaire et girls (15 – 75) heartthrob.”

all the joy of the seaside at Montalivet

This stunning 1920's wooden seaside villa, retaining all its original features is popular with TV companies and photoshoots. In May 2011 Leila Lindholm Swedens celebrity cook filmed her tenth television series at the Beachouse and it featured in her latest cookery book "Hello Cupcake".

Built originally as a holiday house for the bourgoisie of Bordeaux and used only in August means the accommodation is simple and comfortable but not spacious: It is difficult to imagine that the studio originally housed a horse and carriage with accommodation at the back for a groom.

 

Despite being right in the centre of town the Beachouse is quiet and private.  It is just 4 minutes walk to the beach, 3 minutes to centre of town, 2 minutes to huge everyday market and 1 minute  to pouring a glass of wine and heading for your deckchair!

"I'm bored" are words you will never hear from your children.  Babies and toddlers love playing with buckets and spades in the sand garden at the front of the house while teenagers love  the shops, bars and cafes and above all the freedom to explore Montalivet on their own safely and independently or to practise surfing under the watchful eye of the lifeguards.

Adults will appreciate tasting the best wines in the world. exploring the Medoc, Bordeaux and 300 wine chateaux within the hour or shopping in the market, cooking together and simply chilling out on the huge south facing verandah, knowing everyone else is happy.

IN JULY AND AUGUST the house is let as one unit for large groups of family or friends. At other times the flats can be let separately.

The West Flat sleeps 2 adults, 2 children. Comprising 2 bedrooms, kitchen, small sitting room and bathroom.

The Middle Flat sleeps 6 people. Comprising 3 double bedrooms, kitchen, sitting room and bathroom with shower.

The Studio sleeps 2 to 5 people. Comprising a double bedroom with single plus attic bedroom with 3 singles plus kitchen and bathroom with shower.
