Interior spaces :
Our spacious 107 m2 villa has a large living room, a fully equipped kitchen, 3 bedrooms, a mezzanine, 2 showers and 2 WCs, as well as a garage.
The villa sits on the dune beside the beach, so it has two levels. A 6-step staircase separates the lower level, which faces the garden and the street, from the upper level, which faces the ocean.
- The living room and kitchen are located in the upper part of the house. They boast magnificent sea views, so you can enjoy the ocean whatever the weather or the season. They also provide direct access to the terrace and garden.
- The ‘driftwood’ bedroom also has a beautiful sea view and direct access to the terrace. It has plenty of storage space and high-quality 140 cm bedding.
- The ‘polished glass’ bedroom is in the lower part of the villa and overlooks the garden. It includes a bathroom with a vanity unit, a spacious shower, a dressing area and a comfortable double bed (140cm).
- On the same level, also overlooking the garden, the ‘coquillages’ bedroom also has a dressing area and a 140cm bed.
- The 15 m2 mezzanine overlooks the living room and is furnished with 2 single beds. It overlooks the harbour and is child-proof (Plexiglas-lined railings and child-proof door at the top of the stairs).
Please note, however, that access is via a very steep miller's ladder, which is not recommended for people with reduced mobility or unaccompanied young children.
- The upper level of the house also includes a shower room with vanity unit, walk-in shower and WC, as well as a separate WC with vanity unit. Towels, hand towels and bath mats, as well as hand soap and shower shampoo, are provided free of charge.
- In the garage, you'll find a washing machine and tumble dryer, as well as an ironing board and iron, all useful for optimising your luggage and making your holidays carefree!
You can also park a small car or store your bicycles in the garage to take full advantage of the cycle path that runs in front of the house. Parking for 2 additional cars is possible in the private driveway in front of the garage.
Outdoor areas:
Located on the seafront, in the heart of a protected natural area, Les Brisants villa also benefits from an exceptional exterior. It boasts an enclosed, landscaped garden of 750 m2, optimally equipped for your comfort.
- Enjoy unforgettable moments of conviviality on the magnificent south-facing terrace, with its breathtaking ocean views. It's equipped with a high-quality electric griddle and all the garden furniture you need for meals and relaxation.
- You can relax and admire the sea on the sun loungers or, why not, take a siesta in the hammock.
- And of course, a rarity on Oléron, all you have to do is push open the garden gate to go directly to the beach. When you return, you can take advantage of the heated outdoor shower and change in the cabins.

Accessibility and location
- Stairs
The villa sits on a dune on the edge of the beach, which has a number of special features.
The garden can be accessed from the street after taking 1 step, and runs around the house on a gentle slope.
Inside the villa, a 6-step staircase separates two of the bedrooms on the street side from the rest of the house on the ocean side.
- Mezzanine
The villa's 4th bedroom is a mezzanine overlooking the living room. It is accessed via a very steep miller's ladder, which is not recommended for people with reduced mobility or unaccompanied young children.
- Directions
The villa enjoys an exceptional location close to all the shops, restaurants and entertainment in La Cotinière, one of the most popular spots on the Ile d'Oléron. As a result, the tourist road and cycle path in front of the house are very busy in high season. The villa is therefore not suitable for people looking for a secluded, peaceful holiday location in summer.
