Chateau, 10 minutes from the beach, 17 PAX max

Close to the riverside, a golf course, and more, this family-friendly vacation home brings it all within reach. Jump into your car and make short work of the 3-minute drive to Tapovan Normandie or the 19-minute drive to Palais Bénédictine (and enjoy the property's convenient onsite parking in the meantime). After you return, unwind in the garden or sip a drink on the deck or patio, and don't forget about the outdoor furniture. As for the great indoors, you can try your hand at foosball and table tennis, or enjoy the WiFi, TV, and DVD player. As you settle into this 6-bedroom, 4-bathroom rental, you'll find a BBQ grill, a desk, and an office. Bathroom amenities include a hair dryer and toilet paper. Prepare a home-cooked meal in the kitchen, complete with an oven, a stovetop, and a refrigerator, as well as a coffee maker, an electric kettle, and an ice maker. And you won't have to pack extra clothes, because you'll have a washer and dryer, too.
