MAISON DE MARITXU - Between the Beach and the Forest - Landes - Basque Country

"Maritxu's House," a single-story home of approximately 100 m² opening onto a covered west-facing terrace and a beautiful garden, featuring a natural sandbox for children and a forest on a sand dune.
The property is fenced, and there is a hammock set up in the forest.
Located 3 km from the beach. The beach is accessible by car, on foot, or by bike via the Vélodyssée (a bike path that winds through the forest to the beach).
Equipped with Wi-Fi.
Cleaning before departure or a 100-euro cleaning fee

******************Long Description******************
The house was completely renovated in 2021, with an effort to preserve its character (“old” meets “new”):
- the electrical system, heating, and all interior paintwork were redone,
- The kitchen, bathroom, and restrooms have been renovated with high-quality fixtures:
- In the bedrooms, the solid pine hardwood floors have been restored, and the bedding has just been replaced with high-quality sets:
- 1 bedroom with a 160 x 200 bed
- 2 bedrooms with a 140 x 190 bed
- 1 small bedroom with a 90 x 190 bed
The house features a large lot of approximately 1,500 m² with a Zen garden, a natural sandbox for children, and a forest on a sand dune. The forest consists of maritime pines and cork oaks (typical of the Landes region).
The property and forest are fenced in, making them ideal for rest and tranquility. A hammock is set up in the forest, and lounge chairs are also available.
The house features a large covered terrace facing due west (with no direct views from neighboring properties). This allows you to fully enjoy the sunset during long summer evenings—a view that’s also visible from the forest (which also faces due west).
The house is located 3 km from the beach (3 minutes by car, 10 minutes by bike). The beach is accessible on foot or by bike via the Vélodyssée (a trail that winds through the forest to the beach). The bike paths are 200 meters away. 17 km of fine sandy beach stretching from Tarnos to Capbreton, surf spots, golf courses, and more are at your disposal.
Thanks to the house’s prime location, you’ll find it easy to visit not only the Basque Country (Bayonne, Anglet, Biarritz, Bidart, Espelette, Ainhoa, St. Jean-Pied-de-Port, or St. Jean-de-Luz) but also the Landes region (the towns of Capbreton and Hossegor are 10 km away) and Spain, which is only 30 km away.
We’ll have made the beds before your arrival.
Towels are not provided.
We can provide a baby kit and/or two adult bicycles (including one fat bike) upon request a few days before your arrival.
We thoroughly clean the house between each guest, but we expect the house to be returned in a clean condition. Otherwise, you will be charged a flat fee of 100 euros.
Make yourself comfortable in this vacation home, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. A Smart television is provided for your entertainment. Conveniences include a desk and a microwave.
Take in the views from a garden and make use of amenities such as barbecue grills and bike parking.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Gîte très spacieux et doté d'un grand terrain. Maritxu et son mari sont accueillants et vraiment d'une très grande gentillesse. Nous avons passé une excellente semaine. Nous envisageons de revenir l'année prochaine.

Wir haben eine wunderbare Zeit gehabt. Die Gastgeber Maritxu und Patrice haben uns sehr herzlich persönlich empfangen. Wir bekamen viele Informationen und Anleitungen übersichtlich in einem Heft zusammengestellt. Das Haus war frisch renoviert und äußerst sauber. Wir durften alles nutzen von den Hängematten im angrenzenden kühlen Wald, über Grill/LaPlancha bis hin zu den Fahrrädern. Die Unterkunft ist sehr empfehlenswert.
