Pauline et Simon sont deux hôtes très gentils et accueillants. Ils ont aménagé et équipé leur location afin que leurs locataires s'y sentent bien comme à la maison. "La vie douce " est idéalement située dans un lieu calme entre océan et marais comme l'indique l'annonce.Nous avons passé un excellent séjour et conseillont fortement cette location !

Parfait. Tout simplement parfait. Très bon séjour dans ce logement propre, bien agencé, cosy et bien décoré. L'accueil par Simon, à notre arrivée a été très agréable. Et les échanges par messagerie avec Pauline, réactifs et très clairs. Je recommande fortement ce logement. Nous sommes très ravis de notre séjour.
