Polly Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 I am trying to find self-catering accommodation for late September around the Arcachon bassin, say at Andernos les Bains or Lège-Cap-Ferret, but would consider anywhere in that general area near the sea west of Bordeaux. If anyone has anything suitable (house, chalet or mobile home) please pm meFor 2 adults. On-site parking and dogs accepted ESSENTIAL. Pool & internet access not needed.

LEO Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Hi Polly, you may have struck gold with this booking ! 238 euros for 7 nights for 2 people and 2 dogs! At that price I think you should keep your fingers crossed. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polly Posted July 15, 2009 Author Share Posted July 15, 2009 We will know in September!The property is French owned. We have been given photos, brochure, plan & complete inventory down to the last coffee spoon.I have paid more in the past for lets and been very disappointed.Only one dog will coming with us now, and as there is a fee per dog it is a tad cheaper than it would have been. No, t'other is not being left home alone with a tin opener: junior's booked into school for a week (he's a guide dog pup) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Gosh.....I wonder can it be worth renti ng a property at that price?From the owner's point of view!Sept in our region is glorious.I am a little more than an hour from Arcachon...maybe a bit more....but I have friends there and I know that property is rather exspensive in relation to some other areas.

Polly Posted October 3, 2009 Author Share Posted October 3, 2009 Dear Leo & Jon,Thank you for your concerns about our holiday booking. I am delighted to be able to tell you that the accommodation was fine, exactly as described & spotlessly clean. We ate some great seafood and the sun shone every day - what more can you ask for?BTW, we found Arcachon itself too 'citified' for our tastes, more lap dog than proper dog (so my lab told me), we preferred the other side of the bay, and beyond up the coast to Lacanau.

tina Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 I have also been investigating some gitses/houses in the Arcachon area for my next family vacation in a few months. I particularly need something quite big, since there will be 5 of us going. Here are the sites I like best so far:http://www.homelidays.co.uk/EN-Holidays-Rental/fr_aquitaine_33-gironde_fr/arcachon_r3.aspMost of their houses seem quite large. I also found this site that looks good:http://www.casamundo.co.uk/france/aquitaine/arcachon.htmI especially like the old-looking cottages! Otherwise I've been searching the official site of Arcachon for accommodation ideas:http://www.arcachon.com/pageseditos,458,left_2366AFEF,accomodation,arcachon.htmlThis last site is also good for ideas on what there is to do there.
