Listed in the heritage of the Breton coast, its neo-gothic, neo-Romanesque styles make it a remarkable architectural building, made of Saint-Cast stones. Entirely renovated inside in the respect of the great volumes of the time but with a modern functionality. You will find there the very warm atmosphere of a family house which will welcome you with its original waxed parquet floors, its large living room with its billiard table and its large fireplace, its more intimate small lounge/library, its large table in the dining room, its perfectly equipped kitchen and its large bedrooms equipped with retro bathrooms. Everything is there, the smells, the materials, the sounds, the style to feel good. It has for vocation to welcome a family reunion, a parenthesis between friends, a place out of time, with WIFI all the same. Its situation, with a panoramic view on the beach, the sea, the countryside, a few steps from the sailing station, you will reach it by a staircase from the property. Close to the shops but far from the noises of the center, close to tennis, golf and horse riding center. In the sunshine, you will have breakfast, lunch or dinner on one of the tables spread out on the terraces around the house. The whole in a 4000 m² park planted with lush vegetation you will enjoy the slightest ray of sunshine, well sheltered on the south-facing sunbathing terrace. Nobody is disappointed by this rare ensemble. ## Property amenities ### Beach - On the beach - Beach loungers - Beach towels ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Lobster/crab pot - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 6 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 4.5 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shower - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Stereo - TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Fenced yard - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair - Office - Printer ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - One pet total ### Suitability/Accessibility - Designated smoking areas - Note from host: A L´EXTERIEUR UNIQUEMENT ### Services and conveniences - Change of bedsheets (on request) - Housekeeping on request - Iron/ironing board - Phone - Safe ### Location highlights - In a rural location - Near the bay - Near the marina - Near the sea - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Arcade/game room - Bicycle parking - Billiards/pool table - Boat - Golf - Kayak - Optional golf privileges - Tennis - Birdwatching nearby - Casino nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Sailing nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Snorkelling nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby - Water skiing nearby - Water tubing nearby - Windsurfing nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Annual offsets purchased for at least 10% of carbon footprint - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Bed sheets changed on request - Bicycle parking - Comprehensive food waste policy - Comprehensive recycling policy - Double-glazed windows - Eco-friendly cleaning products used - Garden - Grey water recycling system - Housekeeping (on request) - Humane treatment of captive wild animals - Local artist showcase - Local culture and ecosystem education - Locally-owned and organised tours and activities - Reusable coffee/tea filters - Unit size: 3,444 square feet - Water-efficient showers - Water-efficient toilets ## Similar properties ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/99000000/98550000/98540800/98540725/bc647247.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### A family home with a dream panorama Saint-Cast-le-Guildo - Ocean view - Kitchen - Washing machine - Free Wi-Fi 8.0 Very good 1 review [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-25&endDate=2026-02-26&selected=98540725&PinnedHotelID=98540725&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) [Compare similar properties](/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-25&endDate=2026-02-26&selected=34394642&PinnedHotelID=34394642&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2&comparePropertyIds=34394642,98540725) ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 4:30 PM Minimum check-in age - 30 ### Check-out Check-out before 10:30 AM ### Special check-in instructions You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions Information provided by the property may be translated using automated translation tools ### Pets Pets are allowed Service animals are welcome, and are exempt from fees 1 total pets Restrictions apply; for more information contact the property on the number on the booking confirmation Note from host: pièces du bas et non autorisés sur les canapés ### Children and extra beds Children are welcome ### Events No events allowed ### Smoking Smoking allowed: in designated areas A L´EXTERIEUR UNIQUEMENT ## Important information ### You need to know This property is managed by a private host (a party not acting within their trade, business or profession).

The spacious house easily accommodated 11 of us. The setting is lovely, with a mature garden, great sea views and a 3 minute stroll to the beach. We especially enjoyed the pool table and petanque piste. The town of St Cast is an easy 15 minute walk away, and there are plenty of great walks and beaches on this stretch of coast. We thoroughly recommend it for larger family or friends gatherings. The owner, Gilles, was friendly and helpful too. ##### Richard J.
