About this apartment rental
Normally this property would be fully booked but renovations delayed the listing!
Centrally located for day trips to all the best the Riviera offers with the ability to go home and stay in a peaceful charming village. Things nearby: Visit Galimard Perfumerie in Grasse and make your signature perfume. Chateua de la Napoule for its curated gardens surrounding a living museum of art and antique decor. Hop on a ferry across to Cannes, or enjoy the scenic ferry ride along the Red Rock Esterel coast to the villages of St Tropez, Monaco, Nice, Antibes, Eze and more. Visit medieval villages and the Impressionist Artists' studios and museums of Picasso, Renoir, Chagall and others.
Our building sits directly on a hard to find SANDY QUIET beach. at the foot of the red rocks and forest of Esterel, nestled between Cannes (15 minutes) and Mandelieu (10 minutes), (40 km or 3o minutes from Nice airport).
Strict urban controls have maintained the traditional charm of what was once a fishing village. Wake up to sun rising over the water and take an early morning swim with just yourself and the sea birds. The beach right outside our Apartment is sandy with clean water. While you have a 2 car private parking space below the building, limited town parking keeps the beach semi private to those who live nearby. Always easy to find a restaurant last minute without reservations.
Details of the Apartment: Newer building in Mediterranean red stucco style. The apartment comfortably sleeps 4, with a new oversize King bed in the bedroom and a new thick mattress sofa bed in the Living room. Both the Living Room and Bedroom open onto the large private terrace, 3 floors directly above the beach. Enjoy an afternoon nap on the terrace in lounge chairs or an evening meal around the teak outdoor dining table.
Master bath has a large tub and shower as well as washer/dryer for laundry. Small kitchen is fully-equipped. Open living dining room area allows sea views from every sitting area. Entrance hall has a small bathroom for guests. Locked storage area for beach equipment at beach level.
Walk or mountain bike the many kilometers of footpaths and nature trails in the nearby Esterel Hills while enjoying the sandy beaches of Theoule. Many seaside restaurants offer a variety of casual and formal dining experiences at the water’s edge or over the water with a dock full of linen tables! There are 9 hotel restaurants and 21 restaurants in Theoule.
Sports and other Activities:
There are many activities for land and sea lovers. At our apartment side beach, you’ll find locals playing boccia ball welcoming of newcomers, a sailing club with private and group lessons, windsurfing, scuba diving, and incredible fishing. Boat rentals large and small.
One enters the village along the curved coastal road lined with 'larger than life' neo-modern sculptures, including Femme Sortant de L Eau, Woman emerging from water and 'Naissance de la Femme', Birth of a Woman. There is also the impressive 'Croix de Lorraine', a symbol of the disembarquement of allied troops in 1944 and a yearly celebration of this event. Sometimes referred to as La Ville d Ecriture for its yearly Writing & Arts Festival in June, Theoule’s town hall boasts the largest collection of inkpots of any town in Europe!

We're back & had a wonderful time. Theoule Sur Mer is a very special spot, you're right - a nicely hidden treasure. Theoule is close enough to Cannes restaurants & trendy Cote D'Azur nightlife, travel a few miles inland to the charming perched villages or just the perfect place to sit back, relax & enjoy scenic surroundings. Your apartment is quite lovely too, welcoming and in a great position right on the beach. Thanks again, we'd love to go back another time. JP Vancouver, Canada

A perfect holiday place. Superbly situated apartment right beside the beach but in a small town setting - with good restaurants and other facilities in easy walking distance. If you're looking for a relaxing time in really nice surroundings, then look no further.

Absolutely amazing place with the direct access to the beach. With my family, I passed one of the best holidays in my life. I highly recommend it.

This beautiful waterfront apartment offers breathtaking views of the Mediterranean Sea, and with just one floor down, you're right on the beach! The apartment is cozy, comfortable, and equipped with everything you need for a relaxing stay. It truly feels like a home away from home.
The beachfront walkway in front of the property is lined with charming restaurants and leads all the way to the town center, where you'll find more dining options, a mini-market, boulangerie, pharmacy, and more. Don't miss a visit to the Tourism Office to book ferries to Cannes, St. Tropez, and Marguerite Island.
Théoule-sur-Mer is a quaint, laid-back town that feels refreshingly untouristy. With a bus stop right in front of the apartment and the train station nearby, getting around is a breeze. We hope you enjoy your stay as much as we did! 😊

Perfect Spot Just Steps from the Water
This is probably our 10th time renting this extremely well-located apartment, and we feel that it has gotten better over time. The new flooring, new stove and oven, and new couch are welcome updates to a simple but comfortable apartment that is literally steps from the beach.

We had a short family holiday, enjoying the outstanding seaview. The apartment is well organized and equipped. Nice beach in front of the property. Shops and restaurants are just a few footsteps away. We surely recommend this magical place.

Wonderfull apartment on the beach side. We lived most of the time on the beach and loved it. Apartment is nice, a bit dated interior, but very clean, in a well contained building. No noice problems.
The parking key was broken when we arrived. I repaired it myself, which was fine in the end. We will come back, it was lovely.

We have rented the beachside apartmant for two weeks beginning of September. Everything was fine and in good shape in the apartment. We missed nothig ! The weather was very good, the view from the balcony very beautiful. Theoule-Sur-Mer is a small, but beautiful and calm village an ideal spot for a relaxing stay and to explore the Cote d'Azur / Provence. The Restaurants nearby served very good food and the landscape is amazing. Overall a very pleasant stay !

The Stuff Dreams Are Made Of....
THIS was exactly what I wanted to experience in the French Riviera - a place On the Beach, with a balcony, nearby restaurants and in a beautiful coastal town. The apartment was perfect - with 1 1/2 baths, a living area, free wi-fi, a washer and a full kitchen.... along with a table and chairs on the balcony, where we spent most of our time. It was quiet, peaceful and the waves lapping lulled us to sleep each night. I will be back! Thank you, Lynn for an amazing stay!

Elegant Beachfront Apartment
We have been renting apartments in Théoule-Sur-Mer for twenty years, and this is the best by far. The locatiion is perfect, and the view from the terrace, of the sea, beach, and all of the activities made it the perfect hang out, as well as convenient to all of the locat attractions and restaurants. We could watch the Bocce tournament from the terrace, or stroll down to the docks, and catch the Fishing Boat Jousting, (think medieval knights jousting, but from Gondolas, a real hoot!) and stop by Chez Philippe on the way back for dinner, all without ever getting in the car. The apartment is beautifully appointed, and the entry and exit contacts gracious, informative, and helpful. We hope to repeat our visit in 2016, to our favorite place in the South of France. We spent more time in the vicinity, and discovered the wonderful Le Coup de Fourchette, as well as trying other restaurants we had never visited on previous trips. Other years, we've driven into Italy for lunch, but this time we were more content to explore lovely Théoule-Sur-Mer more, from this great apartment.

Amazing apartment, great location
We had a brilliant week here, perfect location and lovely homely apartment. Decorated in traditional french style, felt more at home than in another hotel room with no personality. Great to be able to cook the odd meal in between excessive visits to the local restaurants. Lovely to sit on the balcony and watch the world go by, really lovely and very relaxing. Really valued the private parking, great to not have to worry about the car for the week.

The apartment is in a fabulous location and Christine who met us was friendly and helpful. However, the apartment's furniture needs to be updated as it is getting tired and the sofa is particularly uncomfortable. Everything else terrific - the restaurants nearby and the local shops everything you could need. Would return in a heart beat.

Superbe!
70' + in October, clear blue skies, sea warm enough for swimming, and the apartment is right on the beach. We didn't travel far - shops and great restaurants also in easy strolling distance - our favourite was Le Coup de Fourchette. The town is completely authentic, with friendly people.
The apartment is exactly as described, and is raised up so there are great views over the bay toward Cannes, and the bay is popular with boats of all sizes so there is plenty to watch.
Our arrival and departure were well managed, spoiled only because we had chosen the cheapest on-line car rental at Nice airport, and so had everyone else - we waited a very long time, while other renters had no customers - Grrrrrrr. But the friendly welcome from the housekeeper helped to quickly put that behind us as we settled in to this very well appointed apartment. A thoroughly enjoyable holiday which we would love to repeat.

A wonderful find
The appartment was everything we were looking for - welcoming, full of character, clean and with a superb view; it was a pleasure to go to sleep and wake up to the sound of the sea. Its position could not be better - right on the beach's edge. Plenty of restaurants to suit most pockets - La Fourchette was particularly delicious. We decided not to hire a car but it was easy to reach from Nice airport by train and the journey was along the coastline. The train station is 10 minutes from the appartment and it's easy to take the train to neighbouring coastal villages, Cannes or Nice. We would certainly recommend this beautiful place away from the crowds - it is even nicer than shown in the pictures.

Great Get Away But Owner Could Use a Little More "Sugar"
The apartment is perfectly situated directly on the beach overlooking a nice little beach. For those not aware, the sand is not a fine sand. It is a much courser type that has plenty of large rocks and pebbles which can be tough on the feet. The apartment is just as advertised and worked well. We had a couple of significant issues that could have been dealt with better by Lynn. One, the communication with the owner. The communications between us just seemed to be tense. Maybe it was just that we didn't click but it sure felt very non-customer service oriented when we had communication back and forth. We won't go into the details but we just didn't have a very warm and inviting feeling throughout most of the process. Next, the refrigerator and the A/C system didn't work well at all. Concerning the refrigerator, we tried to convey, immediately upon arrival, that her refrigerator wasn't cooling, but we sort of felt brushed off. Rather than having a technician come out right away to troubleshoot it and get it back to operational, we went through a series of emails to only get her manager to come out three days later and validate exactly what we had said in the first place. Ultimately, Lynn decided to replace the refrigerator and have it installed after our visit but during the entire time we were there, we did not have a working fridge. Lynn, mentioned to us that she would compensate us for the issue by refunding our 60 euro cleaning fee but in the end, she never refunded us anything. The living room a/c is a bit finicky. Sometimes it works and sometimes it just doesn't. Nothing advanced to know about it...it just sort of has a mind of its own. Also, the television wasn't working when we arrived and Christine, the gal who checks you in, said that she didn't think it worked. We were able to make it work by finding the HDTV tuner unplugged and were able to get it working but stuff like that just takes time from your vacation experience. It should have been operational from the get go so you don't have to go into "troubleshoot" mode. All in all, we would say it was a good vacation and the apartment will workout nicely for most. Hopefully, your experience with the owner will be a bit better than ours.

Great find!
The apartment was just as expected if not more impressive once we arrived. This is the kind of place you could probably never find anywhere, amazing location, fantastic quality, more than reasonable price, and unique. The renting process was more lengthy than most, but once you see this place you understand why they don't want just anyone renting it. It is a gem of a location and I would require background checks as well if I owned it. We would not even consider another place if we ever get to this neck of the woods again, we would stay here again and again. The town is a stones throw from the apartment and is very cute and cozy. This is a wonderful view of coastal France and it's very easy to get to Cannes and other cities along the coast by train. We did not bring a car and had no issues.

Best beach
If you love the beach and sea this is the very best choice. This building is right on the best beach you will find with fine sand and clean, shallow water without waves. Local and away from the big cities which, however, are still within close reach.
The apartment is in old French style, very nice and clean. Lovely balcony with morning sun and of course an absolutely incredible view.

Very happy renters
Nous sommes amoureux de la Côte d'Azur! We love Théoule, which we already knew, and we were more than happy with the appartment. It is well located, nicely furnished with a superb terrace and a stunning view! Plus it is right on a small beach. Quoi demander de mieux? Only one regret: too short stay. When at all possible we will be back and would definitely recommend it to our friends.
Also, I would like to add that we were very well welcomed and had access to this very helpful person throughout our stay.

beautiful location
You cannot fault the location and the beautiful view. We were not as pleased as we thought we would be with the apartment. It was not as clean as we expected and there were problems with the airconditioner which meant we wasted time sitting in waiting for the repair man. We paid for linens which were not of a great standard and then were charged a cleaning fee having recieved the apartment in a poor state of cleanliness. Strangely CCTV has been installed in the hallway of the apartment by the owner, not something we have experienced in many years of worldwide travel. Children are not allowed in the apartment which is odd given that it is a lovely family resort.

Incredibly well situated i Theoule sur Mer and all expectations met
We choose this location on the basis of te offered description among which pictures.
The appartment and the building are modern, tastful, clean and everything works appropriately.
There is the garage but often opportunity to parc before the building. (It takes some time to "navigate" if you've a big car like we do.
Going downs you immediately step on the beach, and the restaurant Chez Philippe is within 100 meters; if you would like to have a good dinner (fishes).
So what more could you wish?\
The balcony offers a maximum of privicy. No neighbours visible vice versa.
The only negative thing might be that it tok some time and effort to convince the owner
that we we reliable people, taking care of their property, but I won't blam them too much on that. It's worth it!

A beautifully quiet spot on the Cote d'Azur
We had a wonderful week in this delightful apartment, with its spacious terrace and lovely views over the beach, across the sea to Cannes and beyond to the hazy promontory of Cap d'Antibes in the distance. The apartment has everything you need for a comfortable stay and is decorated and furnished in an attractive and characterful Provencal style. We found it to be exactly as in the photographs, well looked after and clean.
We were amazed to find so few people on the unspoilt and well-kept beach during our week in June: it was hard to believe that we were so close to Cannes, yet so secluded and peaceful. As we were only staying a week, and were very happy to relax on the beach or terrace, we only explored further afield one day, but this apartment would also suit people who wanted to use it as a base to visit the seaside towns of the Cote d'Azur and the hill villages beyond.
The nearby restaurant Chez Philippe, set right by the water, is lovely for a special meal in an attractive setting and we also ate good meals at two other waterside cafes/restaurants a short stroll away along the coast walk into the heart of Theoule. The bakery along the road into the village is very convenient for fresh bread and croissants and sells tasty snacks, such as pissaladiere, to take away.
Arrival and departure arrangements worked very well and we found Claudine to be most pleasant and accommodating; indeed all the local people we came across were very friendly, especially if you speak some French! All in all, this is a charming apartment and a delightful place to stay.

We made our selection from searching the
internet and how lucky were we!! The
apartment is located in the most
splendid position facing the sea and in
fact the balcony is immediately above
this spotlessly clean beach. Inside one
lacks for nothing, everything is to hand
and like the beach the apartment is
without any form of blemish. The village
can be busy, parking can be a problem
but not for us, we enjoy our own private
parking. A lift takes us to the beach
and beyond is an array of restaurants to
satisfy all tastes. Try the sea food.
Then there is the scenery of the region,
stunning. We are returning this year and
cannot wait to relax watching the world
enjoy life below whilst supping wine
preparatory to eating the superb local
fare. A great apartment to find and
enjoy!

This is a lovely, well-equipped apartment in a fantastic location - there's always something interesting to look at from the balcony.
