We (4 adults and 5 kids) just enjoyed Carole’s home in Bidart for 7 nights. She was responsive before our stay, giving us confidence that there would be no hiccups with check-in. Carole’s home is well designed and very well equipped. The bedrooms suited us perfectly with the kids sharing 2 attic-style rooms with the adults in 2 bedrooms below. Her home is close enough to a large grocery store and small boulangeries for a short drive to pick up fresh croissants and baguettes each morning (and more, of course). The house is well situated to explore the many beaches of the Basque region — I think we tried a new beach every day, mostly in France, but also in Spain. Our kids loved cooling off in Carole’s petite piscine very often — the pool made a huge difference in their enjoyment of the trip, even though they also swam in the ocean every day. Oh, and there was one day when wasps decided to try to make their home nearby. We informed Carole, and she had an exterminator take care of the issue the very same day. Carole also gave us restaurant suggestions in the area appropriate for our large group with kids. We truly had no complaints!
