We are family of 5 from California who settled in beautifully to this spacious apartment. The views, the breeze, the location were undoubtedly the best! The rhythm of our day began with an early morning run along the boardwalk to the Pointe de Sainte Barbe, followed by coffee at Place Louis XIV. We shopped daily at the local Marche for fish, Jambon de Bayonne, Irouleguy, fruits, salads…all to make delicious meals in the well-supplied kitchen. Our time around the kitchen table, looking out over the port, the town of Ciboure and La Rhune, were momentous. You hear the church bells ring on the hour and watch the fishing boats come and go. Our days were full. Filled with exploring the town, marching our children by foot, to the Fort de Socoa, and beyond to other Basque beach towns (We followed the walking path: le sentier littoral –randonne 64). We enjoyed strolling and shopping along Rue Garat and Rue Gambetta and had a festive night celebrating le Toro de Fuego….music, confetti, and fireworks! Our kids loved the direct access to the beach. The umbrella and beach toys were well liked and much appreciated. As we look through our photos, we dream of returning to this special part of France. We would not hesitate to rent this apt. again. Guillaume responded to all our emails and the transfer of money was easy and our deposit returned promptly. We’d recommend this apt. to anyone. Thank you, Guillaume!

As previous people have said, this really has to be the best location in town. Our biggest decisions revolved around which balcony to sit on for our meals and/or drinks, depending on the position of the sun. We were here for the 14th July fireworks - I doubt anybody got a better view than we did from our front balcony! The accomodation is spacious with plenty of room for 6 people. The large range of crockery, cutlery and other kitchen equipment meant we could happily wait until the dishwasher was full before using it and there were also plenty of towels for indoor and beach use. There was a huge basket full of play equipment for the beach (bats, balls, frisbies etc) so even with young children you would be able to fly to Biarritz with minimal luggage. The restaurants and bars were all within 5 minutes walk, the beach is literally on the doorstep and the owners were punctual, friendly and helpful. If you want to venture further afield for a day we would recommend a train ride to San Sebastian where your euro goes a lot further.... I was slightly apprehensive about booking directly with the owners as I had never done this before but it was so easy I will certainly use this website again. All emails I sent were swiftly responded to and the owners gave us their mobile phone numbers so we could ring if there was a problem. Many thanks to Guillaume and Frederic.

Fantastic location, second to none! Right on the water but a bit tucked away out of town. Simply perfect. Apartment lovely and so spacious for a French apartment right on the water. It comes with car parking which is a must if you have a car in St Jean. We know St Jean well and we will be coming back to use this place again. Guillaume was very helpful and accommodating with all arrangements. 100% satisfied. Terry Heart. UK

My sister, I with our 3 children wanted to take a break somewhere in France with a sandy beach as close as possible to the house.  We came across Guillaume's apartment and although we had never been or heard  of St jean de Luz decided to take the plunge. It was the best decision we made!! St jean de luz is fantastic and the apartment was perfect for all five of us, so  lovely and so much bigger than we expected! It was only a ten minute walk from the train station through the centre of town which is so quaint and picturesque. The apartment which is one of five is located in a beautiful old art deco building with windows on every side. When we got inside we realised how close we were to the beach which was a beautiful golden sandy beach just like the photos - simply stunning! We could hear the waves from every room. The kids loved it, they played football on the beach and just beside the apartment there's a wall for playing tennis which is where our two sons spent the majority of their time and a playground for little ones just close by too - where me and my 6 year old spent most of our time! We were so lucky with the weather...we had five days of around 27 degrees in April! The apartment was bright, clean and homely with everything you would need for your stay.  The bedrooms were nice and tidy and the views from each one were amazing. The beds were comfortable and the deco very French!  The bathrooms were new and clean. It was interesting trying to figure out French Television but we found a couple of English channels and there was good wifi in every room.There is a lovely big kitchen area for cooking and eating in. We had great fun buying fresh fish veggies and cheese from the market then cooking back at the apartment. The French bakeries are amazing too plus all the basque deli treats you can buy are so good. The shops where great but we couldn't get used to things closing from 12-3pm. We loved the church in the main street, it's so beautiful and the little train tour was a great way for us to get acquainted with the area. Penelope and Guillaume were so helpful and it was easy to organise. We really had a very special time in St jean de Luz. It's a beautiful and easy town to get around in. We are so glad we choose to go here, it's great for adults and great for kids. Thanks again Penelope and Guillaume, we really had a fantastic and very memorable time and would thoroughly recommend the apartment and St jean de Luz to anyone. K and B

We had the pleasure of staying at this apartment in St Jean de Luz for 10 days in April. My wife and I had heard about the spa (Thalasso Helianthal) in St Jean de luz and we wanted to explore the Basque region. The apartment is so well placed, right on the beach and just a short walk from the charming town, plus the spa was only 5 minutes walk away. Spa was fantastic, we went most days from 5pm, this is a must!! The apartment was great, very clean and bright and they have just done up the bathrooms so that was a lovely surprise, plus having the parking space was such a bonus too. The apartment has sun all day, in the kitchen in the morning and in the living room the afternoon. Fred who met us at the apartment was really helpful and spoke fantastic English which was handy as our French was rusty! The apartment is well equipped with everything you need. It is lovely and spacious and having breakfast in the morning over looking the port with the windows open and the sun pouring in was just magic. The kitchen had everything you need to cook a banquet, but we did eat out a lot as there are so many amazing restaurants just a moment from the apartment. We had friends stay for a long weekend and there was plenty of room. It really was such a lovely spacious and calm place to unwind. Hearing the sea as you fall asleep is so peaceful, we slept extremely well while we were down there. Morning walks along the beach on a sunny day were the highlight, the apartment is right on the beach, it’s truly spectacular. We would happily recommend this apartment and we are definitely thinking about coming back again next year.

Hands down the best location in town! Ocean or port views from every window/balcony and mere steps down to the lovely sandy beach. Short stroll to many shops, restaurants and outdoor cafes and bars. The apartment is large and comfortable and the kitchen is well equipped. Parking space onsite is an extra bonus. Upcoming improvements to the bathrooms and beds will make this apartment pretty much a perfect home away from home for visitors. St Jean de Luz is a great base for exploring Basque villages, visiting San Sebastian or the Guggenheim in Bilbao and many other excursions. Our party of 4 (2 couples) really enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning soon.
