Bernard and Marie-Jo are absolutely lovely. The apartment was extremely clean and well equipped and only a ten-minute’s walk to the beach or a 45-minute’s walk into downtown Saint-Jean-de-Luz. There was some confusion between the information on VRBO and the owner’s contract in French, but nothing serious. Here’s what you need to know: reservations are from Saturday to Saturday, check-in by 12pm and check-out by 10am, though the owners are somewhat flexible about this. There is an extra charge for sheets and towels, as well as a cleaning fee (we brought our own linens and did the cleaning ourselves). The security deposit is 300 dollars. The owners provide one set of keys, including a key to the pool.
Don’t miss Taureau Piscine, in an arena near the apartment on Wednesdays and Sundays, and the botanical garden, a short walk down the coastal path.
