What our guests say
A few words from guests who stayed here, also to be found on Google and Airbnb. (Translated from French.)
“Welcome to Le Clapotis 44! I'll be happy to host you in this house designed so everyone feels at home. A question before booking? Write to me, I'll gladly answer.”
We had a lovely stay with friends in this pretty, comfortable and very well-equipped house. The location is quiet and a 10-minute walk from the village and the beach. Communication with Vincent was perfect. The cherry on the cake: the big hot tub.
A top-notch home for a top-notch weekend with family or friends. The summer kitchen and hot tub make for great moments outdoors. Very well located, clean and practical. Thank you.
We had a great 15-day stay in this fully comfortable house. We were two couples with a baby, and everything we needed was there: fully equipped kitchen, two separate bathrooms and three comfortable bedrooms so everyone had their own space. The real bonus: the big hot tub, ideally positioned for relaxing at any time of day, with stronger and softer jets on different parts of the body so everyone finds their spot. The covered terrace is also lovely for lunch or dinner in any weather. Préfailles town centre and the main beach are a 10-minute walk away, and Pornic just 15 minutes by car. Vincent was very responsive to all our requests. We warmly recommend this place for a short or long stay in Préfailles. We loved everything. A wonderful discovery. Thanks for everything, and see you soon, maybe!
We had a good week; the house is very well equipped and modern. The owner is really very kind. I recommend it, and hope to see you soon. Thank you.
A single-storey house that is very pleasant to live in and well equipped. We enjoyed the outdoor eating area with an extra-large plancha. And the spa is fantastic. The village and the beach are 10 minutes on foot, no car needed. Thanks to Vincent for being so available, a very friendly host.
Very pleasant house, suited to a family and close to restaurants, the beach and the GR8 hiking trail.
Perfect, a great place for friends or family. Vincent is very accommodating. All the best.
We had a very good stay at Vincent's, who was available throughout. The house is very pleasant, well located and matches the description. We'll be back!
Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know before booking your stay.
Is the private hot tub included?
Yes. Le Clapotis 44 is a 3-star classified holiday home (Meublé de Tourisme) with a private 7-seat spa/hot tub for the exclusive use of guests: it is included in the rate, at no extra charge, heated and maintained all year round, even in winter. It is used under the responsibility of the adults in the group, especially where children are concerned, and with respect for the neighbours. The motors must be switched off at 11:00 pm; you can then stay in the spa with the motors off. If the spa is unavailable for more than one full day, a compensation of 10% of the nightly rate per day is due (except in case of misuse, a necessary safety intervention, or an event beyond the owner's control).
Are pets allowed?
Yes, on prior request, for a supplement of 25 € per stay. The garden is fenced. For walks: dogs are not allowed on the beaches of Préfailles from 15 March to 15 November, but are allowed on a lead all year round in the Pointe Saint-Gildas nature reserve. The coastal path (GR8) runs along the coast towards Pornic and La Plaine-sur-Mer, with small coves reachable on foot. Keep dogs on a lead, and check the rules of each municipality.
What is the maximum capacity?
The house sleeps up to 9 people, with a supplement of 20 € per adult per night beyond 4 adults (children are not counted in this supplement).
Is it equipped for a baby?
Yes, everything is designed to make your stay with little ones easy! We provide: 2 baby cots and 1 child seat that fits on a chair.
Is the house by the sea?
Not right on the seafront, but the beach is about 900 metres on foot (roughly a 10-minute walk); it is the Châtelets beach or the Grande Plage. The village centre of Préfailles, with its shops, is about 400 metresaway. Pornic is about 15 minutes by car.
Can I book just for a weekend?
Yes. Outside school holidays, the minimum stay is 1 night on a Saturday, 2 nights at weekends (arriving Friday or Saturday) and 3 nights midweek. During school holidays the house is rented by the week, Saturday to Saturday. The spa is included in the rate, whatever the length of stay.
Can I cancel my booking?
A 35% deposit is required at booking, to secure your dates.
- Within 24 hours of booking (if more than 30 days before arrival): free cancellation, full refund.
