About this property
Welcome to Côté Mer
Townhouse near La Rochelle and the Ile de Ré. This new accommodations are located in the heart of a fishing village, 10 minutes from La Rochelle and 15 minutes from the bridge of the Ile de Ré. The house "Côté Mer" consists of a living room with sofa bed and a fully equipped kitchen, a bathroom with walk-in shower and a separate toilet. Upstairs, there is a beautiful bedroom with a double bed (new bedding of high quality) where you can see the bay of Aiguillon. The bedroom has a private bathroom and a dressing area. The adjoining mezzanine offers an office space as well as a single bed.
The mezzanine is under the slope, the bed is preferable for children.
Linen: sheets and towels can be provided at an extra cost on request (€15 per person including sheets and duvet cover as well as a kit of 2 towels). Beds will be prepared. Dish towels and bath mats are provided in all cases. The coffee machine is a Nespresso with a metal capsule but there is also a French press. A small grocery store (oil, vinegar, salt, pepper, coffee, tea and sugar) is available on site.
Esnandes has basic shops: bakery, grocery store, tobacco bar, pharmacy and a post office. They are all within walking distance (less than 3 minutes). There is a market on the square every Friday and Sunday. A seafood restaurant is open all summer long by the sea. Many coastal paths run along the bay of Aiguillon where you can admire the plaices and taste oysters. The fortified church and the shellfish farming museum are worth a visit.
A bus line passes near the house to go directly to the Place de Verdun in the city center of La Rochelle every hour. The bus is free every first Saturday of the month, much easier to discover La Rochelle without the constraints of parking.

L'Accueil a été très chaleureux et emilie a été tres disponible avec nous. Le logement neuf etait très propre confortable et pratique...juste parfait...nous conseillons cette location les yeux fermés...nous avons passé un merveilleux séjour..
Sehr schöne, ruhige Unterkunft. Alles top und in sehr gutem Zustand. Überaus nette und zuvorkommende Vermieter. Ideal gelegen, um sowohl La Rochelle, Ile de Re oder das Maree Poitevin zu erkunden. Der örtliche Bäcker ist nur ein paar Schritte entfernt und macht hervorragendes Baguett und Croissant.
Een zeer aangenaam huisje, zeer proper en voorzien van alle comfort. De badkamer met zijn inloopdouche is super.
Goede communicatie en onthaal van Emilie.
Een echte aanrader!
Merci beaucoup.

Wir haben unsere 10 Tage mit 2 Kindern und Hund in diesem schönen Ferienhaus in Esnandes sehr genossen und möchten Emilie & Hervé nochmals sehr herzlich für Ihre Gastfreundschaft und Bemühungen danken. Emilie hat uns sehr herzlich empfangen und mit allen wichtigen Informationen gut dokumentiert ausgestattet.
Das Haus ist in einem sehr gepflegten, schön möblierten und sehr gut ausgestatteten Zustand mit zwei separaten WC´s und einem Bad. Im oberen Stock befinden sich die Schlafbereiche mit einem extra WC, so dass man nachts nicht die Holztreppe zum Bad bzw. WC hinunter gehen muss.
Die Terrasse und der Vorbereich, auf dem man gut parken kann, ist ausreichend groß und gut geschützt von der vor dem Haus verlaufenden Straße - was von Vorteil ist, wenn man mit Kind und Hund reist. Die Lage ist ruhig und man kann gut bei offenem Fenster schlafen und den Sternenhimmel aus dem Dachfenster bei der Empore (Bereich mit dem Extrabett) beobachten.
Es gibt ein paar Meter entfernt eine Bushaltestelle nach La Rochelle mit der man in ca. 40 Minuten im Zentrum der Stadt ist.
Mit dem Auto ist man auch schnell auf der Île de Ré, wo wir sehr schöne Tage am Strand verbrachten. Das Preis- Leistungs- Verhältnis dieser Unterkunft finden wir sehr gut.
