  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.

  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.

  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.

  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.

  Owner response: We replaced the fridge with a brand new one within 3 days of learning it was not working properly. We did our best to satisfy these tenants but besides the refrigerator the next 5 things they called us about worked fine..but buttons had been pushed by their kids which made it seem as if they did not work. My manager and I spent a lot of time dealing with these false alarms. As a result I incurred extra management fees which I did not pass on to the tenants. All in all we get 5/5 ratings and laudatory remarks on our service. You won't be disappointed. Lynn

  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.

  Owner response: My renters are my best advertisement. See for yourself and read my reviews. Hope we'll have your great impressions of our apartment soon. Check out our discounts off our very reasonable rates.

  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.

  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.

  Recommended for: Age 55+.

  Owner response: I am truly sorry that this reviewer, Mrs O’C, did not enjoy our apartment. As you can see from the reviews of guests who stayed before and after her, her comments are quite unusual. I quote from them: “We found it to be exactly as in the photographs, well looked after and clean” ;“ Incredibly well situated and all expectations met”; “Inside one lacks for nothing, everything is at hand and, like the beach, the apartment is without any form of blemish.” Regarding her specific concerns: The AC unit which failed was a second unit that we had recently purchased to conserve energy, that is, it allowed each room to be cooled separately. It failed 2 days before the end of my vacation and we were quite comfortable with the one, as we, and our guests, had been for years. Mrs. O’C insisted that the repair was done during her stay, choosing to spend 2 mornings of her 14 days there to meet the repairman. Regarding the security camera, it is on only during the winter season or when we have no tenants. A simple email or phone call to me could have cleared that up. Regarding the cleanliness of the apartment, I personally cleaned the apartment from top to bottom as I do every year. I am as meticulous in cleaning my Riviera treasure as I am in developing and reviewing ophthalmic medical devices. Since Mrs. O’C arrived a day after my departure, it is difficult to reconcile this complaint with what I know to be true. Finally, contrary to her statement regarding children, children 10 years and older are allowed. We allow these older children because we expect that, by then, they have been well trained regarding art projects, using coasters on wood, and treating antiques gently. We assume that our guests have their own lovely homes where such rules are applied. I am very personally involved in renting my treasured second home and many of my guests become long distant “friends” who return again and again, sharing their favorite memories and their summer reads. I am truly touched by what they write and to know that I provided them a place where their dream vacation could come true.

  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 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! Clemens and Yvonne
