About this property

The ‘Maison du Douanier’ rises above the Atlantic, like a boat

There are probably less than ten houses like this in the whole of Brittany!

Offering private access to the beach and the GR34 coastal path, and commanding breathtaking views of Concarneau Bay and its walled town, the ‘Maison du Douanier’ is the perfect retreat for new lovers and those who remain so.

At high tide and in strong winds, the waves crash right up to the windows. The sunsets you will experience while dining on one of the two terraces will remain etched in your memory.

Although the house is just under 30 mÂČ, it offers every comfort thanks to its careful renovation. Particular attention has been paid to the original and elegant dĂ©cor, combining stylish design and harmonious colours. This little gem, like the three other holiday homes at Domaine du Fort du Cabellou, is located on a site with a beautiful landscaped garden and a tiny forest that is a nature reserve.

Since the summer of 2025, a new section of the coastal path has been running through the property. The ‘Maison du Douanier’, with its small private garden and two terraces, is located directly on the coast, in front of the path. From there, you can access the sea, the GR34 coastal path or the large garden of the Domaine du Fort du Cabellou.

The site is an ideal place for holidaymakers seeking new horizons between sea and nature. The numerous hiking trails and visits to Breton towns and villages will enhance your stay.

The caretakers live on site, ensuring a warm welcome and advising you on how to make your stay unforgettable.

The ‘Maison du Douanier’ offers:

- 1 mezzanine bedroom with a 160cm x 200cm bed.
- 1 bathroom with a spacious walk-in shower. The bathroom has direct access from the outside, allowing you to enjoy a nice hot shower when you return from the beach.
- Fibre optic internet connection throughout the house
- The kitchen, which opens onto the living room, is functional and fully equipped with a dishwasher, extractor hood, fan oven, four-ring ceramic hob and Liebherr fridge-freezer with SmartFrost.

From the property's car park, you can walk along the romantic ‘Chemin du Douanier’ for 120 metres to the house.

- NO TV!

Please note: Access to the mezzanine of the ‘Maison du Douanier’ is via Japanese-style steps (see photo). Unfortunately, these are not suitable for people with reduced mobility or who suffer from vertigo.
Furthermore, in order to make the most of the view, the house has neither curtains nor shutters.

Ce lieu est magique ! On a le sentiment de vivre sur un bateau immobile. Calme, trÚs bien équipé et situé. Juste un petit reproche : ne pas avoir été informés que la maison avait été clÎturée ce qui est un peu moins beau que sur les photos

Vue exceptionnelle

Au calme, loin de toute nuisance, vue imprenable sur la baie. Idéal pour faire le gr34, se promener et profiter des plages.Le logement est tout petit mais pour 2 personnes, il est bien meublé et les équipements sont de qualité. Attention aux marches de l'escalier intérieur : trÚs hautes et étroites.Seul bémol l'humidité intérieure. Il faudrait revoir le systÚme de ventilation, complÚtement inefficace. Malgré l'aération quotidienne, la condensation est omniprésente. C'est dommage car l'aménagement s'abßme alors qu'il est de qualité et de bon goût.

Ein Traum am Atlantik

Wir wissen gar nicht, wo wir bei diesem wundervollen Kleinod anfangen sollen. Von der liebevollen Einrichtung, ĂŒber das klasse Team bis zu der unfassbaren Location mit dem bestmöglichen Ausblick. Es war einfach alles perfekt! So bald man den Weg zum Maison du Douanier betritt, ist man verzaubert und möchte nicht mehr weg. Die Bilder versprechen hier definitiv nicht zu viel, man spĂŒhrt an jeder Ecke die Liebe zum Detail und den Aufwand, der in das Haus gesteckt wird. Die Gastgeber haben uns sehr herzlich empfangen und die Kommunikation war wirklich super. Wir haben uns bestens aufgehoben gefĂŒhlt. Vielen Dank fĂŒr die wunderbare Zeit! Wir werden auf jeden Fall wieder kommen!

Tolles Haus, einmalige Lage!

Wir können uns den vielen positiven Bewertungen nur anschließen und haben schon sehr viele schöne UnterkĂŒnfte in den letzten Jahren gemietet. Dieses kleine HĂ€uschen ist einfach traumhaft, bietet alles was das Herz begehrt und ist bei uns an erster Stelle gerĂŒckt. Absolute Ruhe, Entspannung und Erholung sind garantiert. Der private Zugang zum Strand ist einfach toll und man kann bei Hochwasser schwimmen gehen. Die eine Woche ist viel zu schnell vergangen und wir wĂ€ren gern lĂ€nger geblieben. WĂŒrden das Haus noch einmal mieten. Falk und Manuela
