We stayed here for a week, and it was one of the best get-aways we've ever had! Philippe is an absolutely amazing host. We felt so welcomed and very much at home. The house is wonderful, spacious, and thoughtfully appointed, with the very relaxed air. Everything was very clean; lots of towels, soft bedding, the mattress was firm just right (my husband has back and neck problems; he told me he slept throughout each night without the usual pain or stiffness he often gets from sleeping on hotel beds.) Loved the jacuzzi and how you can watch the starry sky from the big window next to it. The panoramic window in the bedroom was another special thing; we enjoyed waking up to the view of pines, dunes, and the ocean. The backyard is huge and has access to the water. We had all our breakfasts on the patio, and sat with the drinks at the small landing in the evenings. There is a small private beach just across the dunes, about 10 min walking. It is very shallow, but the water is warm and very clear; you can watch crabs and fish as you walk or swim there. Can' t recommend Philippe and his place enough, especially if you are looking for a short summer vacation.
