About the home

Having wandered in from the heat of the sun, this cool, bright and fresh little house offers a welcome break. The ground floor is an open plan living, dining and kitchen area; well-designed to fit in all you need for a simple seaside holiday. The cool tiled floors run throughout, and the large glass doors- to the front and rear of the house keep the space bright and airy..

Step outside into a delightful private enclosed garden. After your busy day building sandcastles take a rest on one of the sunloungers on the suntrap patio and read your book, take a glass of the local Pineau des Charente or simply take in the tranquililty and sea air. Having stopped at the local fish market you can bbq and enjoy your fresh seafood - Ile d’Oleron is famous for its wonderful oysters.

To the front of the house is the quite cul de sac that makes up the complex, walking to the end of this takes you to a quiet road leading directly down to the beach about 5 minutes away. Turning in either direction takes you straight onto the miles of cycle paths that cover the island whilst a 15 minute stroll takes you to a charming traditional fishing harbour, with a fish market and a good variety of restaurants and shops

Facilities

Further details indoors:
The living area has a large comfortable sofa, an ideal space for curling up with a good book and a cot could be added in this area. The compact kitchen has all you need to prepare and cook some of the wonderful fresh seafood available from all over the island. It has a work top cooker with double rings, microwave and washing machine. If you need to keep out of the sun for your lunch there is a table and seating for 4. Just off the kitchen is the shower room. Up the stairs you find yourself in the mezzanine bedroom with a large comfortable double bed.

The bunk-room is accessed from the exterior of the house so we would only recommend this as an option for much older children

Kitchen area

The Poitou-Charentes / Vendee / Charente Maritime region

The house, built in 1991, is located on the south-west coast of Ile d’Oleron, an island connected to the mainland by a toll-free viaduct, 50 miles south of La Rochelle on the Atlantic coast.The island is part of the Cognac region of France, with many local blends available; along with the local speciality called “Pineau des Charente” - a fortified wine blended from grape juice and Cognac.

The Ile d'Oleron / La Cotiniere area

The pretty harbour of La Cotiniere is close by where you can spend hours watching the boats come and go, whilst sipping a coffee or a cool glass of local wine. The many quayside restaurants are excellent and the fish comes straight from the boats to the table. Cycle hire is easy here and cycles can be delivered to your door, baby seat and trailers are available and the whole island is covered with wide flat cycle paths. You can in fact leave your car at the house and get everywhere by bike.

Just 10 minutes away in the centre of the island are the quaint narrow streets of Dolus where you will find yet more restaurants, good shops, and all other amenities. This is a lovely place to wander and take in the traditional French market surrounded by houses with their sea blue and green shutters. A little further a field at the north of the island is the lighthouse where you can look out from the top over the mussel beds and the never ending sea.

To the south of the island is the citadel of Chateau-d'Oleron, which hosts an excellent market on a Sunday morning, and after a long leisurely lunch why not explore yet more long golden beaches?

Boyardville is home to another delightful harbour with quayside restaurants and cafes; here you can see how the other half live with their pleasure boats all lined up in the sun. Plenty of sea based sports are available from various beach front centres such as sailing, surfing and even sand yachting.During the busy summer months, besides a great many visitors, the island is visited by a number of attractions - including fairgrounds, circus, children’s theatre groups, a variety of concerts and other forms of entertainment Outside of the summer months, the island quietens down but still provides a wide range of things to do and see but in a more tranquil atmosphere. There is an abundance of fine restaurants conveniently situated near to the house.

“A perfect week and a good first tase of the delightful Ile d'Oleron” The house in La Remigeasse was set with a few others off the main road so safe and quiet yet only a few minutes walk from the beach. We took our young dog with us and the house was particularly 'dog friendly' with secure back garden where we spent a lot of time enjoying the late sun and several good meals together with tasting the excellent local wine! We will definately return again having spent a lovely week exploring the island from this lovely house.

“Great little house close to the beach” We stayed on the Ile d'Oleron for two weeks this summer and had a great time. We had previously stayed on the mainland and spent hours travelling back and forth to the beaches on the island, so the house at La Remigeasse was the perfect spot for us. Owner Gill was very helpful all through the booking process and left us a lovely welcome pack, including homegrown vegetables, on arrival. The house is compact but serves the needs of a family beach holiday. It has everything you need, including a washing machine, good shower and small counter-top oven. It is an open plan studio type arrangement with a double bedroom on the mezzanine floor; our children (11 and 13) slept in a small bunkhouse/cabin adjacent to the house. Outside is a small enclosed and private garden where you can store bikes etc, plus a patio and a brick bbq. The location is ideal, with the house set amongst a collection of similar small houses all owned by french people. It is a quiet, friendly place and our two children were invited to play with the other children staying on the complex and had a great time. The nearest beach is just a few minutes walk away plus close to the cycle routes to La Cotiniere where there is a daily market and Dolus (supermarket and water park). I particularly liked the fact we could cycle mostly everywhere from the house. The house could be a little cosy if one were confined to it due to weather, and there was minimal storage space, but the private garden was a real bonus and children can play safely amongst the houses where there is plenty of space to run around. Response: Really pleased this family enjoyed the holiday at our bijou property. It's true that it's location more than makes up for its size and there is everything at the house to offer some comfort - not least English tv - just in case there are bad-weather days
