We have stayed at this property twice now, once with friends and then again a few years later as a family with our two young children.
The house is well maintained and has all the essentials required for a self catering holiday with a family and is well situated in a perfectly quiet spot equidistant from the ocean and the lake.
The recently extended terrace, with views over the golf course is an ideal setting for relaxing summer evenings watching the sun go down over a good book and bottle of wine, once the kids are in bed!
We are a keen cycling family and took our bikes down with us. The extensive paved trails through the pine forests and along the coast are perfect for getting to and from the town and the beaches at the lake or the ocean, without having to use a single road.
Lacanau-Ocean has an array of reasonably priced restaurants, although we tended to cook for ourselves back at the house, having young children and finding it tough to keep the kids up until the restaurants begin serving at 7pm.
The house and its surroundings would suit those in search of an outdoors active holiday, bikes, running, swimming, sailing etc., or one simply content to relax on the terrace and watch the golfers.
The pool is kept clean, but is not heated, so can be a little shock to the system at first if you venture in in May, as we did! It is intended as a quiet pool for a bit of exercise and not one with kids running and jumping around.
We're glad to have discovered Lacanau and its surroundings and I am certain we will be back in the future.
