Fantastisch huis, ligging top!Maar communicatie met beheerder moeizaam.BBQ gastank was leeg. Maandags gemeld, dinsdag zou hij contact opnemen met eigenaar, niets meer gehoord zaterdags gingen wij naar huis.Jammer, je verwacht voor deze prijs toch wel dat je een keer kunt bbq-en.

Family trip to Normandy
We loved our stay in Luc sur Mer, especially being greeted by the peacocks! The house was great and had everything we needed. It even had 3 WC’s when we thought it only had two. The location is perfect for day trips to all of the D-Day beaches as well as Mont St. Michel. We would definitely stay here again!!

Der Check in war sehr einfach über eine Schlüsselbox. Der Kontakt zum Verwalter war sehr gut per WhatsApp.Die Küche ist praktisch eingerichtet und man merkt das der Eigentümer dieses Haus selbst nutzt. 8 Leute haben sehr viel Platz für gemeinsame Essen und Spiele. Der Hammer ist die Lage im Ort und zum Strand.Der einzige Minuspunkt.Entweder hatte unser Vornutzer oder der Eigentümer eine Katze oder Hund dabei. In beiden Fällen war die Reinigung unzureichend. Nachdem man auf dem Sofa lag verfügte man über genügend Fremdhaare auf der Kleidung.

Un petit weekend en famille à a Luc sur mer
Maison idéalement située et bien équipée, tout peut se faire à pied.
Petit bemol sur la propreté de la maison à notre arrivée (à évoquer avec la société de ménage) beaucoup de poussière sous les lits et sanitaires moyennement propres.

Toutes les informations étaient adéquates sauf pour les instructions d’opération des téléviseurs.
Très correct. Belle propriété dans un bel environnement. Cuisine bien équipée . Nous n’avons pas trouvé la mention d’un coût additionnel pour les draps et les serviettes. Petite déception. Nous opérons une entreprise touristique et fournissons la literie. Cette mention devrait être plus évidente. Encore merci. Séjour exceptionnel

„Peacock House“ in Luc-sur-mer
Wonderful house with a great garden and all you need to have a perfect vacation. All worked out without any problems - from communication to check in and special demands we had. And on top having peacocks living with you around the house it’s just one of the little details that made it special. Can only recommed it.

Baleana Agreable maison avec jardin
Nous avons passé 2 semaines en famille a Luc-sur-Mer, la maison est très agréable à vivre.
La cuisine est très bien équipée (mention très bien pour les poêles qui ne sont pas toujours en bonnes états dans les locations).
La literie est très bonne également. Il y a des livres, jeux / jouets à disposition pour les enfants. La maison était bien chauffée a notre arrivée.
On peut faire beaucoup de choses à pied, de très bons petits commerçants se trouvent à proximité.
Nous faisions des balades quotidiennes le long de la plage.
La conciergerie qui gère la location est réactive, en effet nous avons eu un problème avec la machine à laver qui a été remplacé en 48h avec l'accord du propriétaire.
Le petit bémol est le stationnement car on ne peut garer qu'une seule voiture dans l'impasse et le garage mentionné dans l'annonce, n'était finalement pas accessible dommage !
Néanmoins nous avons toujours trouve à nous garer dans les rues alentour. Nous reviendrons avec plaisir !
