Epic House - Breathtaking View - Magical Place
Our family of 5 just returned from this beautiful house in Saint Raphaël after spending 2 weeks there at the end of July 2020. We've rented many houses via HomeAway/VRBO and this was my first time renting a house that had no previous reviews. I was a little apprehensive but let me say, it was one of the best places we've ever stayed. I am actually hesitant to write this review because I am worried the house may be booked up forever once people discover it. I hope we can go again next summer!
Location: Perfect! Easy walk down to the beach in Agay, numerous "water toys" (sailboats, paddle boards, kayaks) to rent there and sufficient restaurant choices. Easy 15 minute drive down the coastal road to Saint Raphael, 45 minutes to Antibes, 1 hr 15/30m to Monaco, 25 minutes to Cannes. 45 to Nice. Stay here and you can easily day trip to any of these places.
House was the perfect set up for us - traveling with our 13, 11 and 9 year old. The kids took the upstairs pool side bedrooms and we had the master downstairs and on the other side of the house. We got to sleep in every morning because we couldn't hear a peep on our side of the house. There is a 5th bedroom near the Master if you need an additional one. The kitchen had everything you could imagine needing including an air fryer (?!), a cappuccino machine, multiple teapots, etc. Huge refrigerator and wine fridge along side. Second small kitchen poolside for easy access refreshments while you are enjoying the wonderful pool. Always the perfect temperature in July. Stunning - truly stunning view. Never got old over the 2 weeks we were there. Grill off the kitchen - lots of different places to gather outside. Great sound system. Strong AC. Beautiful plantings around the property that offer complete and total privacy.
Service: Florian and Clarisse were great help in preparing for our arrival, sending us information on booking activities in the area, restaurant recommendations and even booked a restaurant reservation for my husband's birthday the day after we arrived. Samia - the house manager, was immediately reachable throughout our stay for questions and for a mid-trip house cleaning.
We will absolutely be returning if we are lucky enough to nab a few weeks next summer. It was like living at our own private resort which was exactly what we needed after lockdown in Luxembourg over the Spring. Book it - you won't regret it! Just save some weeks for me!
