Perks for the Parents
A cozy family home just outside Saint-Briac-sur-Mer in France, with a heated swimming pool and heaps of country house charm. It sleeps 14 + 2. This is an easy vacation home for parents, with the primary suite close to the kids room for relaxed bedtimes, and a safe enclosed garden where you can see the kids playing at all times. There’s also plenty of space for grandparents, nannies or 2 families traveling together, as well as 2 living spaces on the ground floor so everyone has their own space to relax. It’s an easy walk into the center of town for eating out (if you ever tire of the beautiful farmhouse dining table), visiting local stores or spending your days at the beach.
Why Kids Love it
This is a great home for babies and toddlers, with a whole host of essentials to make vacations easier. The hosts offer everything from baby highchairs, baby beds, a separate children's playroom, wooden baby crib, baby sleeping bag, changing table, diaper bins, potty, baby bath, thermometer, bath toys and children's dinnerware. There’s also plenty of toys, games and books for children of all ages. The kids will love the pool on hot summer days, playing with the inflatable toys and pool games and their kids-only bedroom is cozy and welcoming for siblings or friends. For days out, take the family to the nearby beach where you can build sand castles or paddle with little ones, and older kids and teens can try sand yachting and kayaking.
Things to Know
Minimum stay: 2 nights. Safety notes: the house is fully equipped to welcome children of all ages in a safe way: bed gates, stairgates and a baby monitor are available for parents to enjoy their holidays. The private parking spot available with the property is safely separated from the garden by a closed door. The pool is safely closed by a roller shutter cover. The house is fully equipped with an oven, microwave, automatic coffee machine, kettle and toaster.
About the Location
The house is located just outside Saint-Briac-sur-Mer in northern France. The town is 15 minutes’ walk (or 5 minutes’ drive) and offers shops, supermarkets, bakeries and beaches. This part of France is steeped in history, with memorials and structures on the beaches that remain from World War II. The larger town of Saint Malo (20 minutes’ drive) has lots on offer for tourists, including more beaches, a mini zoo and an aquarium. It’s around 4 hours from Paris, 2 hours from Nantes or 1 hour from Rennes. There is a train station at Saint Malo for access to Paris, Lille, Strasbourg and Lyon via Rennes. You can also catch the ferry from Saint Malo to the Channel Islands or to the UK. The closest airport is Rennes-Saint-Jacques for international flights (1 hour away) or Dinard-Pleurtuit (15 minutes’ drive).
Accommodation Details
This home has 6 king bedrooms and 6 bathrooms, set over 3 floors. On the ground floor, there’s a large living room and a spacious kitchen which opens onto the dining room. This floor also has a private king bedroom with an ensuite bathroom (with bathtub and shower). On the other side of the house, there’s another living area overlooking the large sunny terrace. There are 5 more bedrooms on the first and second floors, including: a king suite with a single sofa bed, a room with a king bed and a set of bunk beds, and 3 further king size rooms. All rooms with king beds can also be set up as doubles with 2 singles. There is a spacious family bathroom with a shower and bathtub. The hosts also have 2 travel cribs available.
Style Notes
Rustic charm. The house has traditional gray wooden shutters and Breton granite, which is typical of the region, as well as wooden paneled walls to add a beachy feel. There’s a real sense of ‘country house’ spirit, where each guest room has its own style and there’s plenty of eclectic pieces to create a charming, welcoming and quirky space. A large majority of the pieces in the house are antiques or objects collected over time, to give to the place a soul and the lived-in charm of a family house. We love the stylish modern kitchen with a contemporary island, the pretty scalloped bathroom tiles and the rustic textured light fixture hanging over the dining table.
