I have to add one "But". If you want to experience the wonderful smell the wonderful aroma of the pine forest so typical for the coast at Lacanau you won't find it there, because the house is too close to the center of Lacanau Ocean. But it is quiet and and bakeries and supermarket are in 3 minutes walking distance. ##### Bernd B.

Super comfortable with a large garden. It really is so lovely, and great to relax in garden when hot.There was confusion when we checked in, we parked in Villa Rachel and waited for them to arrive only to be told we were in villa next door, which she showed us....which did not have a jacuzzi. Language was a barrier and it took a while before she told us we did have Villa Rachel, but she looked confused and said it's a house for nine!! It looks the roof area has been converted since we booked, so it is now larger....which was not explained.Also WiFi did not work and after attempts to contact host all afternoon I chased up Vrbo, then solved This was all on first day and was fabulous after that. ##### Julie F. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Peter B. 1 Sept 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Loved it! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this wonderfully spacious, fully equipped, modern house complete with top- notch jacuzzi. The house is tastefully and comfortably furnished including good beds with proper pillows, large wardrobes and safe etc. The kitchen is fully equipped, with a modern oven, hob, microwave and good sized fridge-freezer making self catering easy and stress-free: it was lovely to have a small selection of herbs to use, some ready-to-use coffee pouches and a bottle of delicious red wine from the family's own vineyard. We felt incredibly welcomed and the hosts were extremely warm and welcoming. The outdoor space is sunny, pleasant and spacious. One of the highlights has to be the fabulous Jacuzzi which provided excellent relaxation after a day swimming and exploring. The house is brilliantly located, within a few minutes walk to the beach (literally) or the surrounding town with its impressive variety of shops and restaurants. The supermarket is just shy of a 5 minute walk..and has an excellent selection of food. Not only are you incredibly close to the beach, but a short drive away are 2 picturesque lakes: we enjoyed an afternoon at the fresh water beach of Moutchic where the children (teens) enjoyed a floating aqua park experience. Despite all our adventures, we were delighted to return to the luxury of our accommodation, where we could relax in style and comfort. Our only regret is that we had just a week in this fabulous place. We would THOROUGHLY recommend Villa Rachel Marguerite, to any one who enjoys the vibrant beach life and the time and space in which to relax. ##### Peter B.
