Lived up to all the descriptions and reviews. Right on the water (when the tide is up). Alex is extremely helpful for anything you need. We loved the location. Just a short drive from Bordeaux airport and also not far from Cap Ferret. Excellently located! House is also very airy, amazing views and well equipped. It has it all!

Excellent location

Firstly thank you to Emmanuelle and Alexandre for checking us in, hiring bikes for us, and giving us loads of information on the area. They were very friendly and super communicative. The house is gorgeous, spacious, clean and well equipped. It was wonderful to be right on the beach, to have our morning coffee looking at the birds, the beach and watching the still water of the basin, and to see the amazing sunsets from the terrace while having dinner. We hadn’t realised that the tide would be out all day in the basin so we couldn’t swim, and the drive to the Atlantic with the august traffic took up to an hour, but we still did it most days to see the beautiful lege de cap ferret and the coast with the big waves. We loved the house in Arès, we enjoyed cycling to the boulangerie, the oyster festival and visiting Andernos for the Saint Marie fireworks. Arès itself doesn’t have great restaurants but it has an excellent wine and cheese shop, a good carrefour with late opening, and a fantastic weekly market. The house is fantastic, the only thing we found strange was the protective plastic sheets on the tables, cloth tablecloths would be much nicer. Overall a great place in an interesting area. Thank you!
