Laurie's Dream - Fabulous All-Season Beachfront Getaway in Beautiful Menton
Welcome home!
You are welcomed to check-in & check-out any day of the week so that you avoid the usual Saturday traffic jams in France (and/or enjoy better airfares). Although we are pretty flexible, we simply ask that you check-in before 8pm.
Imagine yourself on a balcony, on the beautiful Cote d’Azur, in an elegant apartment building facing the Mediterranean Sea. Awake to the gentle lapping of the waves on the immaculate beach. Take your croissant and café on our west balcony facing a delightful garden. Drink your evening cognac on our south balcony directly facing the turquoise sea.
Laurie’s Dream Apartment is a haven in a little corner of paradise. Beside the sea, it is conveniently located minutes from the charming pedestrian street, the famous fresh fruit and vegetable market of Menton, various shops, and notable restaurants, all walking distance. At Laurie’s Dream, you do not need a car, but if you so choose, there is city parking available, on metered streets and in garages.
This charming turn-of-the-century building, the 1900s, has a pleasant garden available for you to sit in and cool off in the shade of banana and palm trees. It also has an adorable and functional birdcage ascenseur (elevator).
We are very pleased to announce that our remodeling is finished. Our new separate bedroom, with a new double bed and large closet, overlooks the garden with its beautiful trees, plants and flowers, including the elegant and colorful Bird of Paradise. You also wake up to a glorious view of the sea.
One of our two balconies is located off of this bedroom, and is a perfect spot for your morning coffee or even lunch, not to mention evening drinks while enjoying the sunset.
Our new modern kitchen is equipped with everything that you need, should you decide to cook and not take advantage of all the wonderful restaurants in Menton. Please be informed that there is no dishwasher.
The very modern bathroom is well equipped as well, as you can see from the photos (shower towels provided all year long; Beach towels provided during the Season).
The large salon has French doors facing the sea, offering a gentle breeze.
Our second balcony is located off of the salon, for you to enjoy sunrises and sunsets overlooking the sea and views of Cap Martin to the west and Italy to the east.
We are also very pleased to mention our new air conditioning unit to help you stay cool after hot summer days at the beach.
The apartment has wi-fi for those who need to stay in touch.
Bien sûr, Menton itself offers train and bus service to all the charming villages in the area. Perched villages include Roquebrune Village, St. Agnes and Gorbio. If you are museum aficionados, you can visit museums dedicated to Jean Cocteau in Menton, as well as others in Nice and other towns dedicated to Matisse, Picasso, and Renoir, and all of the changing exhibits in Monaco, which is also a quick train ride away.
And don’t forget to look east. Our Italian neighbors offer a wide range of charming towns to see, including Ventimiglia for its Friday market, San Remo, Genova, and Cinque Terre, all close by.
Or just stay and love the view.
Menton is famous for its micro-climate of 320 sunny days a year. So come love it like we do.
Laurie’s Dream is the perfect place to spend quality time with family or friends. This wonderful apartment will ensure that everyone will be comfortable following their dream, whether it is resting, reading, sunbathing, cooking, eating, or drinking.
In order to help our guests to travel light, we provide beach towels (during the Summer season) , shower towels, bed linens and kitchen towels. The linen professional care has a cost of €130 which are payable cash on arrival (2026 fares).

Laurie's Dream apartment is located in an absolutely perfect spot overlooking the promenade and the sea. The balcony was great for having breakfast and lunch.
It is in the old town and very close to shops, bakeries and lovely restaurants.
We had a fantastic 28-day stay. Catherine and Philippe were exceptional hosts—warm, responsive, and incredibly helpful. Catherine’s binder of information and local tips were spot-on, and Philippe was of great help too. The apartment itself is beautiful, with a stunning ocean view framed by palm trees. Perfectly located near the market and in the heart of town. Menton is a gem, with amazing hikes, restaurants, and easy train access along the coast. Highly recommend.
A truly delightful apartment with a well stocked kitchen, comfortable bed and furniture and two magic balconies. So very close to the beach just across the road. Beach towels and chairs provided. Communication with Catherine and Philippe was very easy and in extremely good English. Bus stop to the free ‘La Navette’ electric town bus just across the road although just about everything in Menton is within walking distance. Catherine has great recommendations for restaurants, boulangeries and cheese shops. The market is a must! The only small negative is that we found the cleaning fee a bit high. Overall excellent 5 day stay. We will be back.
This centrally located and recently renovated apartment had everything we needed plus a stunning ocean and beach view. Unbelievable sunrises and -sets, day after day. Catherine’s reception and introduction to the apartment was very much appreciated. Everything was very easy for a great and relaxing stay!
Smooth intro to our stay, Well organized and informative. Perfect situated flat. Perfect for going to the Beach and nice airy in the evenings. We had a wonderful stay. Booked for next summerholiday!!!
A great base for a short holiday in Menton. Location is fantastic and we had a warm welcome by Catherine. We enjoyed overlooking the sea and beaches, and it was fun to watch the Lemon Festival floats pass by from the balcony.
Laurie's Dream had everything we could possibly have wished for. Location, proximity to shops, car parking, and ,for the adventurous cyclist, fabulous routes into the Alpes Maritimes.
Philippe and Catherine were always available and responded quickly on the few occasions I had a question. The apartment is well appointed and has remarkable views. The beach is right across the street and there are two balconies. I will be back!
Great location to all facilities, beach, restaurants, train and buses. The property was excellent, however needed maintenance on the entry door (difficult to open) and the pillows needed updating.
We would stay at this property again.
We spent 2 weeks in Menton, enjoying the perfect location of the apartment.
The view from the 2 balconies is absolutely amazing and the apartment is furnished with all we needed.
We enjoyed the fact that we could walk to the narket, bakery und supermarket without using the car.
We will come back again.
Very good situation by the sea. Not too noicy, windows keeps the most voices outside. 2 lovely balconies with beautiful views. Services near.

Loved staying at the property. The water view was phenomenal, as advertised. The location had proximity to everything I required on my ten day stay. The host Catherine could not have been more helpful. The cookies and wine on check in was a nice touch and she was able to accommodate my earlier check in, which was brilliant given the long flight from Australia. Would thoroughly recommend this property and Menton unreservedly.
Laurie's Dream was the perfect place for us to stay on our recent week in Menton. The apartment is beautiful with great sunlight, cute balconies, and an incredible view of the sea. It is SO convenient to cafes, the market, and the beach. It is decorated nicely, is very clean, and had everything we needed to live comfortably for the week-- even beach chairs, beach towels, and an umbrella in case it rained. The bedroom was quiet and dark. The kitchen had everything we needed. We would gladly return here any time-- many thanks!
The apartment is beautifully renovated and convenient. The location is perfect - it is very close to the beach as well as to shops and restaurants. The views are fantastic, the house is peaceful and quiet. It truly feels like a home away from home - and this is also due to the kind, efficient and professional contact with Catherine. I loved it so much during my first visit this summer that I had to return a month later - and I am already looking forward to another visit. I can highly recommend Laurie's dream apartment!

Thank you Cecilia for your feedback. It was a pleasure meeting and hosting you. You are of course welcome again anytime should you need some sunshine or miss the Mediterranean ;)
All clean & tidy & very comfortable. Bedroom pleasantly quiet. Sitting room is light & airy with wonderful view of palm trees & the sea which was just warm enough for swimming. Beach clean, dog free & not crowded.
The check-in time advised by Abritel differed from the time we were allowed in.
We arrived at our destination and were warmly greeted by Catherine. She was so pleasant and personable. She took us to the apartment and showed us where things were and went over all kinds of helpful info- trains, bus schedules , walks, hikes.
There were beach chairs and beach towels too, which was great. Lots of amenities in the apartment
The two balconies are perfect for watching the world go by - lots to do in Menton and area or just relax at the beach
We have stayed at a number of VRBO’s and Catherine was top notch - her husband Philip popped by at check out and he was also very personable and easy to chat with too
Aces for sure

A great apartment in a very advantageous location in Menton, a wonderful small city along the French Riviera. The apartment is on the first floor of a heritage building up one flight of stairs. There is a vintage elevator but we preferred to take the stairs not being used to an older manual elevator. Their are two balconies each with gorgeous views out to the promenade and beach. Everything is on one level however a staircase leads to an upper bedroom which is used only by the owner. The space is characterful with high ceilings and windows consistent with the elegant style of this earlier period. The kitchen is very compact but complete and functional. The hosts provided a personable service and Catherine was gracious regarding our misunderstanding of the cleaning as it was our first exeperience with Vrbo.
