About the Owner/Advertiser, Mrs Annette Khan

Hello, we are Ian & Dorothy and we live in the UK and have had our holiday home in the Vendée since 2006. The holiday rentals are managed by Annette, who lives nearby.

Year property purchased 2006
Why this location? Le Phare is a suburb of La Tranche sur Mer, and Les Pins du Phare is only a short walk from the long sandy beach which stretches for miles. It is also only 10 minutes to the centre of the bustling seaside town - with its many restaurants, weekly markets, souvenir shops, ice cream parlours and lots of entertainment. There is always something to do at La Tranche - plus a great range of water sports - you can learn to wind surf, sail, kayak or just go sea fishing in one of the many little boats to hire. You can even take a ferry to the Ile de Re for the day - a lovely day out!
Unique benefits of property Les Pins du Phare Holiday Home is set in an ideal location for family holidays! It is set in a quiet suburb of a bustling seaside town and is close to all amenities and especially the beach, which is only 400 metres away. The house is well equipped with everything that you would need to have an enjoyable holiday - private pool, patio dining, all mod-cons in the house, table tennis table, all bed linens and towels included, and wi-fi internet access. The area is quite flat, and is great for cycling and walking - with many guided paths laid out through the pine forests that line the coastline nearby.

The Owner Recommends

The Seaside Town of La Tranche sur Mer

There is so much going on, you'll need at least 2 weeks holiday! The main centre of La Tranche has lots of cafes, restaurants and creperies, along with several ice cream parlours and Chichi stands. If you like seafood - L'Equinoxe restaurant overlooks the main beach and has an outside terrace where you can sit and eat locally produced oysters, mussels and crab. There are lots of pizzeria, a sushi bar, lots of grills and several places to buy the famous Moules Frites.
In the centre of town there is a Square, where you will usually find a weekly market, craft fair, street entertainers and exhibitions.
The beaches are on either side of the town and there is even a free bus that take you to some of the further beaches!

O'Gliss Water Park

In 2016 the new O'Gliss Water Park opened in Moutiers les Maufaits. This is only a 10 minute drive from La Tranche sur Mer. Here you will find lots of water slides of varying heights, rivers for floating along, a beach with a wave machine and a shallow pool area especially for the younger children - with pirate climbing frames and slides. Great fun and well worth a day out! Book early before you start you holiday!

The Beaches of The Southern Vendee

The main attraction of the La Tranche area is the natural beauty of the coastline - with miles of sandy beaches, pine forests for picnics and lots of rock pools and sand dunes to explore.
Some of the beaches are great for surfing and body boarding - Les Conches and La Terrière must be visited; La Veillon Plage is great for lagoon fishing and sand castles and Jard and St Vincent have limestone pavements stretching out into the sea - so are great for rock pooling at low tide.
The main stretches of beach at La Tranche sur Mer and La Faute sur Mer are just fantastic for relaxing, sunbathing or watching the sun go down.

9.5 / 10 SueL 24 June, 2019

This is an excellent holiday home, well equipped and seems to be especially geared up for families, there are 5 showers and 5 toilets so good for 2 families sharing.
Communication with the manager Annette was excellent throughout and very efficient. The pool was warm even in cloudy weather and well used.
La tranche even out of season in June was busy and lots of places to eat or chill. The beaches were superb and seemed endless, only busy at weekends but plenty of space out of town. Only a short walk to the local beach but longer into town 15/20 mins but there is a free bus july/Aug.
All in all the house was as described and very comfortable I can highly recommend.
