  We recently had the pleasure of a week long stay at this gorgeous townhouse in Antibes! What a gem! The pictures show an accurate depiction of the house. The locale is perfect for a seaside holiday. Local markets, charming restaurants, easy access to other towns along the Cote d'Azur make Antibes a most perfect location. We were able to make meals in the fully equipped kitchen or walk a few steps and choose from a number of patios for dining. The owners were very easy to deal with, and the property manager Suzanne was accessible and most helpful. The narrow streets and limited parking necessitated a short 10 minute walk to a secure and reasonably priced underground lot. Not a big deal at all. We bought a week's pass and used our car three times during the week for trips to Cannes, Monaco, Eze, and St. Paul de Vence. All of it was fabulous and coming home to our beautiful house felt so good. We would recommend this rental wholeheartedly! Vera A.

  The welcome wine, the possibility to make a pasta or have an aperitivo after arrival or the occitane gifts in the bathroom, the very comfortable beds and the really elegant style of the house No 14 made this week as the best that we have had in Antibes. We missed nothing.

  We had a very enjoyable stay at Maison du Bateau over Easter. The owners & Suzanne were very helpful in offering tips for our visit and thoughtfully preparing a welcome basket. The property was comfortable and well-stocked. The location is absolutely ideal for exploring Antibes. The Marché Provencal is just steps away, and our three small children enjoyed playing across the (pedestrian-only) street from the house while overlooking the Mediterranean. We parked our car five minutes away at the Place de la Poste (EUR 59 for the week) as recommended, and used it for roadtrips to Monaco, Cannes, Eze, St-Paul-de-Vence, and Nice, all worth seeing.

  Recommended for: Sightseeing, tourists without a car, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

  This lovely house offered everything we could wish for in a vacation home. The kitchen and bathrooms were modern and well stocked. We really appreciated the quality toiletries and those nice thick bath towels! The whole house was spotless, comfortable and convenient. The WiFi helped us stay in touch with family back home, and the phone for calls within France was a bonus. And of course having Suzanne nearby to answer questions and make suggestions was an added bonus. Just steps away is the Marche Provencal which we visited almost every day-such a choice of fresh fruit and veg., cheese, olives-you name it! And several local restaurants in the immediate area offered us lots of choice when we wanted to go out for a meal. Probably our fondest memory will be the walks along the seafront-a miinute's walk away- both day and night, taking in the enchanting Mediterranean and local colour. Maison du Bateau is certainly one of the best homes we have stayed in, and worth a repeat.

  The house is perfectly located in the old Town in Antibes, close to the Musee Picasso ( well worth a visit) and the Marche Provencal ( Market). The Market opens at 8.00 and was also open on the Mon of our stay. Fantastic for fruit,veg,cheese etc The house is very well equipped and tastefully decorated with comfy beds and air conditioning. Good showers and the Cable TV and wifi was an added bonus. The owners are a delight to deal with and the local housekeeper - Suzanne is wonderfully helpful. It takes a lot to impress us but we'd certainly return to Maison du Bateau.

  The photos and descriptions of Maison du Bateau don't do it justice. We had an amazing, relaxing stay here in May 2012. The owners and the property manager, Suzanne, couldn't have made meeting up and getting acquainted with the house any easier. The house is in a great location, just one block from the Marche Provencale (Provencal Market) and the Picasso Museum. Almost everything in Antibes is accessible by foot from their house, and the fully-stocked cook's kitchen is a rare find in home vacation rentals. We didn't have a problem getting fresh fruit, meats and vegetables from the Provencal Market and finding everything we needed to make delicious meals. I wouldn't hesitate to book Maison du Bateau again, and will recommend to all of my friends that they visit Antibes and the Maison.

  Your property is world class and your agent Suzanne, a wonderful, helpful chatty Brit. We have stayed in many VRBO and Homeaway rentals over the years -- in fact, just spent a week in Boston to visit grandchildren -- and yours tops the list. It is perfectly located between the farmers' market and the sea. We enjoyed cooking in the kitchen which had everything we needed and eating dinner in the beautiful dining room. And for nighttime quiet as well as access to old Antibes, it is unbeatable. We will gladly return and recommend the property to our friends.

  My family and I had a wonderful holiday in this beautiful house. It was a stone's throw away from the the sea, in the middle of the historic centre of Antibes, right beside the Picasso museum. A lovely, historic old house that had been renovated with taste and attention to detail. I would recommend it without hesitation. The owner and his agent were a delight to deal with, as was the babysitter Annie that they recommended. My 3 and 8 yo children were very happy to stay with her while my wife and I dined at the fabulous restaurant overlooking the bay that is only a short stroll away (Les Vieux Murs). A fine choice for a great holiday.

  Maison du Bateau is in a perfect position, just a short distance from the beach and the market, in the rue du Bateau which has all the charm and character of a typical vieil Antibes street. The house itself is attractive and finished to a high standard. You have the choice of buying food in the local market and preparing it in the very well equipped kitchen or going to one of the many restaurants nearby, including Le Figuier de Saint-Esprit, a Michelin starred restaurant just a few minutes walk away. The food is wonderful but it is very expensive! It's actually better not to have a car here as parking is difficult but this isn't a problem as Antibes is easy to walk round and has a good bus service and the other towns along the coast can be reached by train. The owner and his representative are both helpful and informative.

  Recommended for: Sightseeing, tourists without a car, families with teenagers, romantic getaway.
