This is probably our 10th time renting this extremely well-located apartment, and we feel that it has gotten better over time. The new flooring, new stove and oven, and new couch are welcome updates to a simple but comfortable apartment that is literally steps from the beach.
The apartment is in a fabulous location and Christine who met us was friendly and helpful. However, the apartment's furniture needs to be updated as it is getting tired and the sofa is particularly uncomfortable. Everything else terrific - the restaurants nearby and the local shops everything you could need. Would return in a heart beat.
Great Get Away But Owner Could Use a Little More "Sugar"
The apartment is perfectly situated directly on the beach overlooking a nice little beach. For those not aware, the sand is not a fine sand. It is a much courser type that has plenty of large rocks and pebbles which can be tough on the feet. The apartment is just as advertised and worked well. We had a couple of significant issues that could have been dealt with better by Lynn. One, the communication with the owner. The communications between us just seemed to be tense. Maybe it was just that we didn't click but it sure felt very non-customer service oriented when we had communication back and forth. We won't go into the details but we just didn't have a very warm and inviting feeling throughout most of the process. Next, the refrigerator and the A/C system didn't work well at all. Concerning the refrigerator, we tried to convey, immediately upon arrival, that her refrigerator wasn't cooling, but we sort of felt brushed off. Rather than having a technician come out right away to troubleshoot it and get it back to operational, we went through a series of emails to only get her manager to come out three days later and validate exactly what we had said in the first place. Ultimately, Lynn decided to replace the refrigerator and have it installed after our visit but during the entire time we were there, we did not have a working fridge. Lynn, mentioned to us that she would compensate us for the issue by refunding our 60 euro cleaning fee but in the end, she never refunded us anything. The living room a/c is a bit finicky. Sometimes it works and sometimes it just doesn't. Nothing advanced to know about it...it just sort of has a mind of its own. Also, the television wasn't working when we arrived and Christine, the gal who checks you in, said that she didn't think it worked. We were able to make it work by finding the HDTV tuner unplugged and were able to get it working but stuff like that just takes time from your vacation experience. It should have been operational from the get go so you don't have to go into "troubleshoot" mode. All in all, we would say it was a good vacation and the apartment will workout nicely for most. Hopefully, your experience with the owner will be a bit better than ours.
Leiligheten hadde en fantsdtidk beliggenhet med en bilfri gate som skilte fra stranden. Verten vÄr svarte raskt pÄ henvendelser og var tilgjengelig. Vi hadde imidlertid og arbeidere pÄ terassen i 6 timer. Det var ikke varslet fÞr ankomstdagen.
Leilighens kjÞkken bar preg av slitasje og burde vÊrt oppgradert. Og vi savnet oppvaskmaskin. Med tanke pÄ renhold. Terassens utemÞbler var ogsÄ slitt. Vi savnet parasoll. Det ble for varmt Ä innta mÄltid ute.
Schönes Appartement in Top Lage fĂŒr Strand und AusflĂŒge
Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefĂŒhlt. Es war alles vorhanden was man fĂŒr einen erholsamen Urlaub braucht. Das Appartement ist zwar nicht mehr ganz neu aber voll ausgestattet, sehr sauber, geschmackvoll eingerichtet und mit einer perfekten Lage direkt am Steand mit einem schönen Ausblick auf Cannes und die Bucht. Einziger Kritikpunkt (der fĂŒr uns nicht wirklich ausschlaggebend war) ist der doch sehr langsame Internetzugang. FĂŒr Familien mit Teenagern oder HomeOffice evtl. problematisch. Garagenstellplatz war vorhanden und auch geeignet um geössere Strandutensilien (z.B Stand Up Paddel) zu lagern. Wir wĂŒrden wieder kommen!
Eine sehr schöne Ferienwohnung fĂŒr uns zwei. Gut ausgestattet. Es gibt eine kleine KĂŒche, in der man ganz gut kochen kann. Leider fehlt eine SpĂŒlmaschine.
Tolle Lage direkt am Meer.
Schnelle und unkomplizierte Kommunikation mit der Besitzerin und der Verwalterin vor Ort.
Gerne wieder
We had a short family holiday, enjoying the outstanding seaview. The apartment is well organized and equipped. Nice beach in front of the property. Shops and restaurants are just a few footsteps away. We surely recommend this magical place.
Wonderfull apartment on the beach side. We lived most of the time on the beach and loved it. Apartment is nice, a bit dated interior, but very clean, in a well contained building. No noice problems.
The parking key was broken when we arrived. I repaired it myself, which was fine in the end. We will come back, it was lovely.
I have two beautiful daughters which you see in some of the photos. We go to Theoule each year, it is my retreat where I recover from the consumer culture of Southern California. I enjoy making it available to others and am gratified by their heartfelt appreciation of it. I also donate several weeks a year for charities. I just opened an optometry practice in Yorba Linda California to provide leading edge eye care. I trained as a scientist in Physiological Optics -PhD from UC Berkeley and have my optometry degree from there as well. I have worked as a consultant for industry developing new ophthalmic devices or therapies and help them design trials to insure viability and safety and ultimately approval by the FDA.
Best beach in the Riviera! We rented a place over the internet in Nice and it was awful...the beaches were rocky and we spent most of our vacation looking for a place to stay and for a sandy beach. When I found Theoule I looked up at the relatively new apartment building and wondered if there might be an apartment to buy. I asked a neighbor and they told me one just opened which is very rare and that it was not yet on the market. I asked around for the realtor and was directed from one seaside bar to the next until someone pointed him out on his balcony. I signed the papers the next day, an hour before flying back to the States. My grandmother and great aunt came to America from France when they were young girls. My love for them imbued me with a love for France, and now I have my little place in Theoule.
I spend alot of time just enjoying our beach. Its quiet and quaint and the water is absolutely perfect. I swim a mile each day then eat all sorts of fattening food. I read a little in French, alot in English and enjoy the patter of the locals talking. I'll take a few trips to special places, return to ones I love, see a new art exhibit, decorate the apartment, shop for good wine good food and decorations for my home in the States. The apartment is very centrally located allowing one to explore the best the Riviera/ Cote D'azur has to offer in short one to two hour day trips...many are less than 30 minutes away. No matter how long a vacation I take I always wish I had more time.
