Agréable maison pour des retrouvailles familiales
Maison au charme suranné mais bien équipée qui nous a permis de passer un très bon week-end de retrouvailles entre grands-parents, enfants et petits-enfants. Nous avons bien profité de la terrasse ombragée et de la proximité de la plage des Nonnes.

Very good
La maison est très belle, bien équipée et située proche de la plage et du centre ville. Un très grand jardin entièrement clos dans lequel les enfants peuvent jouer sans danger. Les propriétaires sont accueillants et prennent le temps de nous expliquer le fonctionnement de la maison et des activités de la région. Ils restent disponibles durant la durée du séjour. Nombreux matériels dans le jardin pour le farniente.

Rose Mousse
Very friendly and helpful owner met us on arrival. Large house was clean and had all equipment we needed. Large, walled garden meant we could let the children play outside without worry. Parking right outside or to rear in garden if desired. Lovely beach is 5 mins away in one direction and the town centre 5-10 mins away in the other. Super U on the way into town centre. La Rochelle airport close by and Royan nearby.

excellent holiday
We spent a happy week here, 2 families, age ranging from 8 to 81 years old. This house was ideal with its close proximity to a lovely sandy quiet beach, town (Meschers is charming with market, port and shops), and the locals who were relaxed, friendly and patient as we practised our French. Rose Mousse has a spacious garden, great for the kids with shaded areas, and nice to have a choice of places to dine, 8 of us fit comfortably around the table in the conservatory off the small kitchen, in the dining room and at the large table outside. The house has lots of traditional character, and was clean and tidy, more like a home from home than a posh residence. Would definitely stay there again. Thanks also to Shelley who went out of her way to make us welcome and answer our questions.

About the host

Hosted by Shelley Smith

Host profile image
Hi, our names are Shelley and Carl. We bought Rose Mousse in 2002, just after we'd moved permanently to France with our, then, young children.We did the renovation ourselves, using our skills in building and renovation. We also used to own two successful antique/collectable shops in London, so have an eye for vintage furniture and decoration. Since then we have done up and rented other properties, with another house here at Meschers.

Why they chose this property

We love Meschers as it is a small town by the sea. Everything is easily accessible on foot - the beach, shops, bars, restaurants, supermarket, pleasure port and fresh produce market.
Lovely large safe garden to relax in, the house is spacious without being rambling.
It is a great base for exploring the area too, there is so much to see and do if you want to go out and about. If not, it's a lovely part of the world to wander - pine forests, cave dwellings in the cliff face, or just sit, relax and let the world go by.
Easy access by road (A10 motorway is 30mins away), Bordeaux and La Rochelle airports.

What makes this property unique

Spacious house and garden.
No long hot car journey, enjoy the beach when you want, great for relaxing, playing, sailing, jet skis etc. available to hire either at Meschers or at nearby St Georges de Didonne.
Walk down to a local restaurant, or get BBQ provisions from the market or supermarket. Relax in the garden or go out and about.
