About this property

Maison 13 is an open-plan, single-storey house with 3 bedrooms sleeping 6 guests with a large garden and stunning views overlooking a pine forest. The house has private access to a network of forest trails leading directly to the beautiful, unspoilt beaches of the Vendee's Atlantic coast and the nearby towns of Notre Dame de Monts and Fromentine.

The forest track is extremely popular with adults and children of all ages. Whether you're looking for an easy ride to the beach or shops, or prefer more of a challenge, the Vendee's 'Pistes Cyclables' run all the way along the coastline. The forest track is also suitable for running, walking and triathlon training, with open sea swimming and an outdoor pool at Noirmoutier en L'ile.

The area is ideal for families and groups who enjoy active holidays. Canoe hire is available at Kulmino a five minute drive away, and sailing, water-sports, kite-surfing and quad-biking are available at Notre Dame de Monts and Fromentine. There is a golf course at St Jean de Monts.

Take a boat to the magical Ile D’Yeux, or just relax on the terrace and look at the view…

We don't provide bikes but we can give you details of where to hire them.

We’ve enjoyed a relaxing week in this well appointed beautiful property. Communication prior to travel was very good. (Hosts kindly recommended a vet in Noirmoutier to use for our dogs Animal Health Certification return travel requirements). On arrival at Maison 13, Isabelle greeted us and showed us around the property and amenities. The property is open plan living /kitchen with one side of glass windows looking out over the pine trees towards the National Park and trails which can be accessed from the garden gate. 20 minute walk to a deserted sandy beach through the National Park. We all wanted to lounge in the Le Cobusier chaise next to the open fire and it was a great meditation spot. Well appointed kitchen that has all the gadgets - coffee machine etc The 3 bedrooms lead off from the living area and are all good sized. Large walk in shower in the main bathroom. A lovely relaxing week enjoyed here

Great house and localisation

We had a lovely stay at Maison 13. Isabelle gave us a warm welcome and was always on hand when needed. The proximity with the pine forest was very pleasant and useful for cycling around. Regarding the accommodation, the house was comfortable, very clean and had everything required. Overall, a lovely place where we would be keen to go back !

Why they chose this property

We first came on holiday to the Vendee eight years ago and we just kept coming back. We love being able to cycle off-road through the forest to the beach, the way the sunlight catches the pine trees against the sky and the long, sandy stretches of coastline; it's our idea of heaven. We discovered the house shortly after its completion while we were out cycling one day and fell in love with its simple, modern design and tranquil forest setting. Three years later, through friends, we heard the house was on the market and the rest is history...

What makes this property unique

We love the contemporary design of the property and the open-plan layout. The house is accessed along an open-air hallway running along the side which leads onto a decked seating area overlooking the forest. A series of plate glass windows runs the length of the back of the house bringing the outside in, whatever the time of year. There is a wood-burning stove for the cooler months, an air-circulation system distributes heat throughout the house, or keeps the air cool in the summer. The gate at the bottom of the garden gives access to the forest cycle track and meandering walks to the beach.
