About this property

Contemporary house with spectacular view of the forest

Maison 13 is an open-plan, single-storey house with 3 bedrooms sleeping 6 guests with a large garden and stunning views overlooking the forest. The house has private access to a network of forest trails leading directly to the beautiful, unspoilt beaches of the Vendee's Atlantic coast and the nearby towns of Notre Dame de Monts and Fromentine.

The forest track is extremely popular with adults and children of all ages. Whether you're looking for an easy cycle ride to the beach or shops, or prefer more of a challenge, the Vendee's 'Pistes Cyclables' run all the way along the coastline. The forest track is also suitable for running, walking and triathlon training, with open sea swimming and an outdoor pool at Noirmoutier en L'ile.

The area is ideal for families and groups who enjoy active holidays. Canoe hire is available at Kulmino a five minute drive away, and sailing, water-sports, kite-surfing and quad-biking are available at Notre Dame de Monts and Fromentine. There is a golf course at St Jean de Monts.

Take a boat to the magical Ile D’Yeux, or just relax on the terrace and look at the view…

We don't provide bikes but we can give you details of where to hire them.

We’ve enjoyed a relaxing week in this well appointed beautiful property. Communication prior to travel was very good. (Hosts kindly recommended a vet in Noirmoutier to use for our dogs Animal Health Certification return travel requirements). On arrival at Maison 13, Isabelle greeted us and showed us around the property and amenities. The property is open plan living /kitchen with one side of glass windows looking out over the pine trees towards the National Park and trails which can be accessed from the garden gate. 20 minute walk to a deserted sandy beach through the National Park. We all wanted to lounge in the Le Cobusier chaise next to the open fire and it was a great meditation spot. Well appointed kitchen that has all the gadgets - coffee machine etc The 3 bedrooms lead off from the living area and are all good sized. Large walk in shower in the main bathroom. A lovely relaxing week enjoyed here

Außergewöhnliches Haus in fantastischer Lage

Modernes Haus mit ansprechender Gestaltung auf einem Hügel in Notre Dame de Monts. Direkt an wunderschönem Kiefernwald gelegen. Außergewöhnlich gute und umfangreiche Austattung in allen Bereichen (Küche, Wohnraum mit Holzofen / Kamin, Gasgrill auf Terasse, Weinkühlschrank, überdachter Fahrradstellplatz mit direktem Zugang zu Fahradweg etc.) Das Radwegenetz durch die Kiefernwälder ist einmalig, ob Strandbesuch oder Einkauf, alles innerhalb 5 km Umkreis mit dem Rad schnell erreichbar. Wir haben die zwei Wochen in der absolut ruhigen Umgebung sehr genossen. Hier bleiben keine Wünsche offen. Ein Lob an Isabelle für Ihre herzliche Betreuung vor Ort.

Great house and localisation

We had a lovely stay at Maison 13. Isabelle gave us a warm welcome and was always on hand when needed. The proximity with the pine forest was very pleasant and useful for cycling around. Regarding the accommodation, the house was comfortable, very clean and had everything required. Overall, a lovely place where we would be keen to go back !

Phantastisches Haus in herrlicher Lage

Allein schon der Blick auf den Pinienwald und der Duft sind die Reise wert. Das Haus ist schön eingerichtet und bietet allen Komfort, abends ist der Kaminofen idyllisch, die Terrasse ist herrlich zum Verweilen und Sonnenbaden. Der Naturstrand ist zu Fuß 20-30 Minuten entfernt, durch den Pinienwald kann man herrlich joggen oder radfahren. Und die sehr lohnenswerte Ile de Noirmoutier ist in direkter Nähe. Kurz: ein wunderbares Reiseziel!

Belle maison au calme, proche de la forêt et de la mer pour de belles ballades

C'est une maison très agréable, même en hiver. La vue sur la forêt est très reposante et la cheminée, très appréciée. Le sentier en bas du jardin nous permet de grandes ballades en forêt, ou à pied ou en vélo, qui débouchent sur la grande plage. L'équipement de la maison est parfait, il ne manque rien. Très bonne communication avec Liz.

Quality Holiday Home.

Superb space which was plenty big enough for all six of us. All appliances furniture etc is of high quality. Beautifully quiet area, with path straight to the forest and beaches a 20 min walk away. Super U 5 min drive away, bread & Croissants available a 5 min walk away from campsite if needed. Superb beaches as normal in Vendee watersport available a 5 min drive or 20 min cycle. We would all definitely return.

Very modern comfortable house.

We have just returned home from a lovely family holiday in Maison 13. The house is very well designed, very comfortable and well equipped with a spacious terrace for sitting outside. Our children really enjoyed the cycle track which can be accessed from the bottom of the garden. The beaches nearby are all great and it is a bonus to be within such easy cycling distance of the village and beaches. Also thanks to Isabelle who was very helpful and accommodating at the beginning of our holiday.

Fabulous accomodation

Stylish and comfortable house. We loved looking out onto the forest through the wide expanse of glass or from the terrace and being able to join the forest tracks from our garden gate. Great local beaches. Good facilities locally and lots to see and do close by.

Secluded location, the perfect place to kick back

The bungalow is on top of a little hill, it is deceptive from the front and it is only when you go around the back and see the vista into the pine trees you can appreciate the tranquil position. The bungalow is a bit beyond walking distance to the next village (about 5km), bikes are ideal as the path passes the bottom of the garden, so you can go north or south from here. Parking in the town is simple enough and we didn't have any problems finding somewhere that was an easy walk to shops and the town. The beaches are long with sand dunes, closest is probably 20 minutes walk. Beaches were uncrowded in the middle of August, but beware of the nuddies popping up in sand dunes - the kids burst out laughing at them which didn't help.

Wonderful holiday in a stunning property

We spent two wonderful weeks in this accommodation and I would highly recommend it. Quality fixtures and fittings, large bedrooms with a lovely open plan living area. Sitting on the decking overlooking the forest was a real treat. 10 minute cycle to the town or a couple of minutes in the car - ideal!

A magnificent place

This is a great place in an absolutely gorgious countryside. We loved the silence and the smell of the wood!! The sandbox infront of the house was a highlight for our granddaughter. The best thing for us were the cycling possibilities through the wood. We also enjoyed the beaches and the French food!!! The house is nicely arranged. Some things could be a bit improved, so that the daily routine could be even more convenient. We would like to come back.

About the host

Hosted by Maison 13

Host profile image
We currently live in the UK and spend most of our holidays in France. We lived in Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia and before that, Paul lived in Singapore and Sydney, Australia. Liz is a teacher and writer and Paul works in Programme Advisory for the construction industry. We have two children. Liz speaks French.

Why they chose this property

We first came on holiday to the Vendee eight years ago and we just kept coming back. We love being able to cycle off-road through the forest to the beach, the way the sunlight catches the pine trees against the sky and the long, sandy stretches of coastline; it's our idea of heaven. We discovered the house shortly after its completion while we were out cycling one day and fell in love with its simple, modern design and tranquil forest setting. Three years later, through friends, we heard the house was on the market and the rest is history...

What makes this property unique

We love the contemporary design of the property and the open-plan layout. The house is accessed along an open-air hallway running along the side which leads onto a decked seating area overlooking the forest. A series of plate glass windows runs the length of the back of the house bringing the outside in, whatever the time of year. There is a wood-burning stove for the cooler months, an air-circulation system distributes heat throughout the house, or keeps the air cool in the summer. The gate at the bottom of the garden gives access to the forest cycle track and meandering walks to the beach.
