My husband, our 5-month old and I spent two weeks at this property in July. We had a great time, and would happily return. We highly recommend this property.
Pros
- Conveniently located just outside of Cassis, which means you avoid the horrendous tourist traffic over the summer.
- A 1-min drive from a small cluster of shops (fruit/veg, butcher/fishmonger, bakery and pharmacy)
- The open-plan common spaces are the main attraction of the home. All of the glass doors bringing the outdoor and indoor spaces together and making it ideal for summer months.
- As someone who loves to cook, I found the kitchen very well appointed, there's everything you need to make a family meal and to entertain small groups.
- While there's no gas or coal bbq due to regulation, the electric bbq does the job well.
- The pool area is very nice. There's great sunlight and available shade if necessary. A pool cleaner comes once a week to maintain it.
- The house is modern, and clearly has been lived in, but it is very clean and well maintained, making for a homey experience.
- The owner was spectacular. She was very attentive. She also kindly outfitted the house with all the baby equipment we needed.
Improvement points:
- While there's internet, it's quite basic. It wasn't strong enough for my husband to work remotely during our time there, but luckily he found a very nice coworking space with great internet just down the road.
- The house is part of a gated community, which adds a layer of security, but makes it feel less personal.
- The house came with only one remote for the street gate, which isn't convenient if you come with more than one car or for visitors.
- There's no specific bin for recycling and we resorted to driving it down the road to a local drop off point.
- While it wasn't a problem for us, it's important to note that except for the master bedroom, the other 3 bedrooms are quite small, and all share a single bathroom and toilets.
- Equally, the master bath doesn't have a fixed showerhead. One has to use a handheld showerhead to shower in the bathtub.
