We really enjoyed our stay in Ver-sur-Mer. The house was just as good as it looks in the photos - lots of character, but clean and comfortable. Nathalie was very responsive and helpful both before and during our visit. The garden is a little smaller than it looks in the photos, but it is a sun trap and we were lucky enough to be able to sit in the sun from breakfast at 7am until dinner at 8pm. The village of Ver-sur-Mer was surprisingly nice and had a lot of character. Despite the house being surrounded by other houses it is very quiet and the garden is very private with lots of birdsong. The village is very spread out and there aren't many local facilities - a basic boulangerie, mini-market and tabac about 15 mins walk away. The beach is about 30 minutes walk, though we did cycle a couple of times - 2 or 3 of the bikes work, but most have faulty brakes and/or gears. The nearby town of Courseulles was nicer than expected - it has a lot of holiday apartments but also lots of nice restaurants and a good fish market every day. We bought fresh fish in the market several mornings and barbequed it for lunch and dinner - very good prices for excellent fish, filleted and prepared for cooking by the fishmonger. The local seaside towns are clearly popular with French holidaymakers, but we saw very few other English cars or foreign tourists. The surrounding area is very rural, with huge wheatfields and combine-harvesters and tractors working 20 hours a day in August. Be aware that there is NO parking either at the house or on the road immediately outside. We were disappointed to only discover this when we arrived with 2 cars which we had to park 150m away at the edge of the village. Also the local contact is a bit unreliable - even though we arrived and left at the agreed times she wasn't there either time. We had 6 adults and we had plenty of space, although there is only one toilet (two shower-rooms) for 5 bedrooms. While in theory the house could sleep 12 (or even 14 at a push) the bathroom and kitchen facilities wouldn't really cope with this. All in all, we really enjoyed our stay - the house was better than we expected and I would happily recommend it.
