There's a reason with have a high star rating! We're back & had a wonderful time. Theoule Sur Mer is a very special spot, you're right - a nicely hidden treasure.

Your apartment is quite lovely too, welcoming and in a great position right on the beach. Thanks again, we'd love to go back another time. JP Vancouver, Canada
A very comfortable apartment in a great location, right on the beach. We enjoyed Theoule so much we went house shopping there ourselves! -SueAnn, Switzerland
A perfect holiday place. Superbly situated apartment right beside the beach but in a small town setting - with good restaurants and other facilities in easy walking distance. If you're looking for a relaxing time in really nice surroundings, then look no further. Jim Hunter, Inverness-shire, Scotland
Comfortable flat with amazing view, delightful, quiet village with friendly people, lighthearted atmosphere, good restaurants, perfect beach right outside the door, places of historical interest, art collections etc. within easy reach. Julie Harrison, Hertford UK

We had a great stay here for our vacation by the beach. Perfect location for swimming, great beaches everywhere. The property manager was great and got us extra towels and pillows which was much appreciated! The king size bed was very comfortable and blackout blinds in both rooms were perfect for a great sleep.

Thanks Sarah for your 5 star review Sounds like it met and exceeded all your expectations!
This is probably our 10th time renting this extremely well-located apartment, and we feel that it has gotten better over time. The new flooring, new stove and oven, and new couch are welcome updates to a simple but comfortable apartment that is literally steps from the beach.

Great Location but apartment getting run-down
The apartment is in a fabulous location and Christine who met us was friendly and helpful. However, the apartment's furniture needs to be updated as it is getting tired and the sofa is particularly uncomfortable. Everything else terrific - the restaurants nearby and the local shops everything you could need. Would return in a heart beat.

Stunning Waterfront Property with Spectacular Sunrises
This beautiful waterfront apartment offers breathtaking views of the Mediterranean Sea, and with just one floor down, you're right on the beach! The apartment is cozy, comfortable, and equipped with everything you need for a relaxing stay. It truly feels like a home away from home.
The beachfront walkway in front of the property is lined with charming restaurants and leads all the way to the town center, where you'll find more dining options, a mini-market, boulangerie, pharmacy, and more. Don't miss a visit to the Tourism Office to book ferries to Cannes, St. Tropez, and Marguerite Island.
Théoule-sur-Mer is a quaint, laid-back town that feels refreshingly untouristy. With a bus stop right in front of the apartment and the train station nearby, getting around is a breeze. We hope you enjoy your stay as much as we did! 😊

Great Get Away But Owner Could Use a Little More "Sugar"
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.

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
Leiligheten hadde en fantsdtidk beliggenhet med en bilfri gate som skilte fra stranden. Verten vår svarte raskt på henvendelser og var tilgjengelig. Vi hadde imidlertid og arbeidere på terassen i 6 timer. Det var ikke varslet før ankomstdagen.
Leilighens kjøkken bar preg av slitasje og burde vært oppgradert. Og vi savnet oppvaskmaskin. Med tanke på renhold. Terassens utemøbler var også slitt. Vi savnet parasoll. Det ble for varmt å innta måltid ute.
Schönes Appartement in Top Lage für Strand und Ausflüge
Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Es war alles vorhanden was man für einen erholsamen Urlaub braucht. Das Appartement ist zwar nicht mehr ganz neu aber voll ausgestattet, sehr sauber, geschmackvoll eingerichtet und mit einer perfekten Lage direkt am Steand mit einem schönen Ausblick auf Cannes und die Bucht. Einziger Kritikpunkt (der für uns nicht wirklich ausschlaggebend war) ist der doch sehr langsame Internetzugang. Für Familien mit Teenagern oder HomeOffice evtl. problematisch. Garagenstellplatz war vorhanden und auch geeignet um geössere Strandutensilien (z.B Stand Up Paddel) zu lagern. Wir würden wieder kommen!

Beautiful apartment in a top location for the beach and excursions
We felt very comfortable. Everything you need for a relaxing holiday was there. The apartment is no longer brand new but is fully equipped, very clean, tastefully furnished and in a perfect location right on the beach with a beautiful view of Cannes and the bay. The only point of criticism (which wasn't really a deciding factor for us) is the very slow internet access. May be problematic for families with teenagers or those working from home. Garage space was available and also suitable for storing larger beach equipment (e.g. stand-up paddles). We would come again!

Thank you we will increase the internet speed as soon as we can get them over to the apartment
Eine sehr schöne Ferienwohnung für uns zwei. Gut ausgestattet. Es gibt eine kleine Küche, in der man ganz gut kochen kann. Leider fehlt eine Spülmaschine.
Tolle Lage direkt am Meer.
Schnelle und unkomplizierte Kommunikation mit der Besitzerin und der Verwalterin vor Ort.
Gerne wieder

Very nice apartment located on the beach with no road to cross. A breathtaking view. A real terrace for meals in front of the sea and deckchairs for reading or just lounging. Air conditioning appreciated on hot days, comfortable bedding, all accessories available, double underground parking space much appreciated, lift. Excellent welcome from the local agent, cleaning included, linens included. A perfect stay and an address to remember and recommend, without hesitation.
La situation de l‘appartement pieds dans l‘eau est tout simplement fantastique! En face d’une petite plage de sable et sans route passante. Vous descendez l’immeuble et vous voilà au pied d’une petite plage de sable soignée et surveillée. Idéal pour pour un séjour romantique. L’autre plus de ce logement est la grande terrasse accueillant aussi bien une table pour 4 personnes et 2 chaises longues. La literie était également très confortable. La cuisine est un peu usée mais fonctionnelle si l‘on ne veut pas profiter des bons restaurants situé à proximité.

Michele...So happy you enjoyed our little place in paradise!
For the non-French speakers, here is the review in English
The location of the waterfront apartment is simply fantastic! In front of a small sandy beach and without a busy road. You go down the building and here you are at the foot of a small, well-kept and supervised sandy beach. Ideal for a romantic stay. The other plus of this accommodation is the large terrace with a table for 4 people and 2 deck chairs. The bedding was also very comfortable. The kitchen is a little worn but functional if you do not want to take advantage of the good restaurants located nearby.

PRATIQUE
Son emplacement est idéal quand on a pas de voiture et on a les enfants. Appartement était rangé, mais malgré du faite, que le frais de nettoyage / ménage sont inclus dans le prix pour chaque client, mais nous avons préferé de renettoyer. La propreté des serviettes et du linge laissait également à désirer et la clim n'a pas été nettoyé depuis un moment. L'appartement est équipé d'une machine à laver et c'est un grand atout. La vue mer est géniale.
La place au parking souterain est bien pratique. Il y a quelques encombrants, mais ca n'empêche pas de se garer.
La vie sur la plage est assez prononcé la nuit au mois d'août, normal, tous le monde a envie de profiter, du coup bruyante. Le camion des poubelles et le nettoyage de la plage aux heures très matinales ( du genre à partir 5h) était horrible., mais aprés un certain temps ils passait plus tard.
L'appartement a quelques détails cassés. Nous avons pas utilisé le four, mais le reste était quand même bien fonctionnel.
Malgré quelques pépins, les vacances ont été cool et les personnes responsables était joignables, disponibles et agréables.
Merci beaucoup
We had a short family holiday, enjoying the outstanding seaview. The apartment is well organized and equipped. Nice beach in front of the property. Shops and restaurants are just a few footsteps away. We surely recommend this magical place.
Une semaine tout à fait agréable, une très belle vue et un bon spot proche de toutes commodités. Appartement bien équipé, quelques rafraîchissements à prévoir néanmoins. Merci, nous ne regrettons pas !

We are happy you enjoyed the apartment, the view, the proximity to everything and that it is well equipped. We are doing a renovation this winter so next season the kitchen will be like new and we will have other upgrades as well including a brand new sofa with pull out large bed.
The view and location is why everyone leaves so happy. Glad you did too.
Excellent emplacement, l'appartement mériterait un rafraîchissement.

About the host
Hosted by Lynn Marran
I have two beautiful daughters which you see in some of the photos. We go to Theoule each year, it is my retreat where I recover from the consumer culture of Southern California. I enjoy making it available to others and am gratified by their heartfelt appreciation of it. I also donate several weeks a year for charities. I just opened an optometry practice in Yorba Linda California to provide leading edge eye care. I trained as a scientist in Physiological Optics -PhD from UC Berkeley and have my optometry degree from there as well. I have worked as a consultant for industry developing new ophthalmic devices or therapies and help them design trials to insure viability and safety and ultimately approval by the FDA.
Why they chose this property
Best beach in the Riviera! We rented a place over the internet in Nice and it was awful...the beaches were rocky and we spent most of our vacation looking for a place to stay and for a sandy beach. When I found Theoule I looked up at the relatively new apartment building and wondered if there might be an apartment to buy. I asked a neighbor and they told me one just opened which is very rare and that it was not yet on the market. I asked around for the realtor and was directed from one seaside bar to the next until someone pointed him out on his balcony. I signed the papers the next day, an hour before flying back to the States. My grandmother and great aunt came to America from France when they were young girls. My love for them imbued me with a love for France, and now I have my little place in Theoule.
What makes this property unique
I spend alot of time just enjoying our beach. Its quiet and quaint and the water is absolutely perfect. I swim a mile each day then eat all sorts of fattening food. I read a little in French, alot in English and enjoy the patter of the locals talking. I'll take a few trips to special places, return to ones I love, see a new art exhibit, decorate the apartment, shop for good wine good food and decorations for my home in the States. The apartment is very centrally located allowing one to explore the best the Riviera/ Cote D'azur has to offer in short one to two hour day trips...many are less than 30 minutes away. No matter how long a vacation I take I always wish I had more time.
