About this property
Fantastic ocean view, in the heart of Biarritz.
My apartment is a wonderful 'nest' on the sea. The elevator gives you straight access to the Miramar beach, from there you are five minutes walk from the Biarritz Casino, and even clother to the Sofitel and ´thalassothérapy'. You can watch the sunset from the balcony and relax in the sun. The apartment is being renovated in may 2015. It will dispose of luxury closet bed, a beautiful kitchenette with a microwave-oven, a dishwasher, a toaster,a coffee machine, and a kettle boiling and a beautiful entrance too. You will dispose of a big TV , washing machine, a dishing machine an italian shower with see view and a very two big dressing and two closets in the entrance too.
You can do everything by foot in Biarritz but there is also a free shuttle to 'les Halles' Market (open daily until 1 pm) and around town. There is a door in front of 'the promenade' of the ocean when you can take a shower put transat before coming back at the appartment after the beach : the PEDILUVE Perfect for a couple or couple with child until 10 years old. There is a janitor for the security. Very quiet place, no cars only the sound of the waves.
The check-in is at noon and check-out is at 10am. 3 days minimum . I have an other appartment in Paris vrbo320389
History
Biarritz is a Basque name with locative suffix -itz (cp. Isturitz) attested Bearriz in 1170, Bearids in 1186, Bearritz in 1249.
Biarritz has long made its fortune from the sea: as a whaling settlement from the twelfth century onwards. In the 18th century, doctors recommended that the ocean at Biarritz had therapeutic properties, inspiring patients to make pilgrimages to the beach for alleged cures for their ailments.
Biarritz became more renowned in 1854 when Empress Eugenie (the wife of Napoleon III) built a palace on the beach (now the Hôtel du Palais). European royalty, including British monarchs Queen Victoria and King Edward VII (who caused a minor scandal when he called H. H. Asquith to kiss hands at Biarritz in 1908 rather than return to London for the purpose),[1] and the Spanish king Alfonso XIII, were frequent visitors.
Biarritz's casino (opened 10 August 1901) and beaches make the town a notable tourist centre for Europeans and East Coast North Americans. The city has also become a prime destination for surfers from around the world, developing a nightlife and surf-based culture.
At the end of World War II in Europe, the U.S. Army's Information and Educational Branch was ordered to establish an overseas university campus for demobilized American service men and women in the French resort town of Biarritz. Under General Samuel L. McCroskey, the hotels and casinos of Biarritz were converted into quarters, labs and class spaces for U.S. service personnel. The University opened 10 August 1945 and approximately 10,000 students attended an 8-week term. This campus was set up to provide a transition between army life and subsequent attendance at a university in the USA, and therefore students attended for just one term. After three successful terms the G.I. University closed in March 1946 (see G. I. American Universities).

Love the location for a visit to Bayonne and Barritz. Fantastic little balcony with beautiful view of the coast and beach below. Compact apartment with parking that has everything. Bus service works well, must recommend Basque Museum in Bayonne. Had a wonderful time, without out planning happened to be in the middle of July’s Bayonne Festival. Fun experience.
We loved our stay in Biarritz. This great apartment was just far enough away from the hustle and bustle to be quiet, but close enough dinner was easy to walk to. The place had everything we needed for our stay, including beach towels, parking, and dishes. We loved the balcony, and the perfect view.

The fantastic ocean view is not overrated. It is fantastic. The balcony overlooks the beautiful beach and the ocean. The sound of the waves and the views are amazing. Everything on the beach front and in town is walkable.

We had a wonderful week!
The apartment was really nice. Smart and modern layout, well equipped for our needs and with an optimal localization with a beautiful waterfront view.
Direct access to the beach and a nice walk along the shore to the city center with it's many possibilities for good eating - and for shopping too.
I recommend the apartment for two people!
Great location and accommodation but poor experience because of untold renovation
There were renovation in the building and in the balcony almost whole time that We spent time there. We got the information of that renovation one day forehand, and didn’t feel that it was fear thing to do. Morning started with much of noice and men in our balcony so had to close the curtains and couldnt enjoy the view or the sea. The accommodation itself was great and clean. We got some refund too afterwards.

Beautiful, pristine beachfront rental
Isabel's apartment is pristine! It was the perfect size for us, as we weren't planning on spending much time inside. The view can't be beat (you can see the beach from the bathroom)! The balcony is perfect for eating breakfast or a glass of wine at sunset. The kitchen was well equipped for us to make it through our first morning (coffee, biscuits etc.) and there is a small grocery store very close by. Isabel's welcome packet is thorough and has great dinner and shopping recomendations. The best part was the location of the apartment -- it's on the quieter end of the beach, but still a short walk to the bustling center or Biarritz.
Overall I can't say enough about how much we enjoyed our trip. Isabel was helpful and gracious and really went above and beyond the typical host. We will definitely be back!
Booked apartment location for location. Great ocean view right on the water. The apartment is functional yet quirky. Construction going on so building entry leaves little to be desired. Apartment located on a downstairs floor with very dark entry. Need to get lights on timer down by entry as opposed to down the hall. Size of apartment ok but bed is a Murphy bed. It was comfortable along with sofa when Murphy bed not in use. Bathroom is small but functional. Bathroom lacks a door and only has a drape. This is an issue if you have privacy concerns with partner. Biggest issues is that apartment lacks ventilation unless sliding door open. This is great, however, when we were there surf was exceptionally large and room was extremely noisy. It was hard to sleep and hot in room if sliding door closed. A fan would help. Hosts were gracious and easy to communicate along with being responsive. Lastly, washer was broken which was a key reason we booked this apartment. There was a laundromat nearby that we used. Overall, enjoyed out stay and highly recommend Biarritz and would go again.
la vue est superbe et l'emplacement du STUDIO est parfait pour accéder à pied à la plage et en centre ville.
En revanche, l'annonce parle d'un appartement avec une chambre alors que c'est un studio avec le lit qui se range verticalement dans un placard et la "cuisine" est également dans un placard. J'avoue que, naïvement, je ne m'attendais pas à ça à 1500€ la semaine.
Nous avons passé une petite semaine très sympa dans ce charmant studio.
Celui-ci est très fonctionnel, bien agencé/meublé, et convient parfaitement pour un couple n'ayant pas un très grand besoin de place.
Il donne directement sur la plage de Miramar, et se trouve à 10 min à pieds du centre-ville, parfait pour ceux qui privilégient la tranquillité. Quel bonheur d'avoir été réveillé tous les jours par le bruit des vagues...
Pour finir, la vue est exceptionnelle. C'était la raison principale de mon choix et je ne peux qu'aller dans le sens des précédents commentaires.
Petit nid douillet avec vue imprenable sur l’océan, surtout au coucher du soleil.
Nous n’avons pas eu la chance de rencontrer notre hôte, mais nos échanges ont été chaleureux ;-)
L’emplacement est idéal : à deux pas du centre, près du phare (pour un p’tit cocktail du soir …), bref, un super séjour !
Un appartement très cosy , propre avec un hôte joignable.
Une vue admirable sur l’océan .
Avons été bercé par le bruit des vagues .
Hâte d’y retourner .
Nous avons passé une semaine formidable, ce studio est très bien agencé et bien sur une vue exceptionnelle sur l’océan. On peut aller visiter Biarritz et l’accès aux commerces peut se faire à pieds. Merci à Isabel pour ces nombreux conseils et sa disponibilité. Vous pouvez venir les yeux fermés. Jean Pierre et Brigitte
La vue est belle certes! mais:
-Nous avons eu froid, vraiment froid
-Aucun contact, la personne n'est pas venue. (Joelle)
-Pas de chauffage d'appoint (un petit radiateur remis la veille au soir, avant notre départ)
Pas de parking...
Immeuble en travaux.
La télévision ne marchait pas. Le système "Molotov" demandait un code. Trois codes nous furent envoyés. Aucun ne marchait. Nous avons vu un peu Netflix mais aucune chaîne nationale.
Aucune notice pour le matériel, rien.
J'ai demandé une réduction de 180€ en dédommagement,
pas de réponse.
Je ne suis donc pas satisfait !
Avec mes salutations distinguées.
Jean Joseph Suchel
Tour le confort d’un petit espace superbement aménagé et avec un goût très sûr.
Et plus que tout : certainement la plus belle vue de Biarritz. A l’extrémité de la plage Miramar : à nos pieds les vagues de l’Atlantique qui bercent notre sommeil et, dès le réveil, comme s’il était à portée de main, ce rocher mythique que nous appelons « la roche percée » : comme une porte ouverte pour de nouvelles découvertes de cette magnifique région.
Emplacement idéal : plage et ville en même temps, on peut faire tout à pied, un grand avantage est une place du parking à côté d’immeuble , le studio est très fonctionnel, il y a tout ce qu’il faut,
balcon avec vu magnifique ! La plage et l’océan à vos pieds !
Isabel est très aimable, disponible et à l’écoute. Je recommande sans hésitation. Merci encore,
Inna et Tatiana
Un studio très bien agencé idéal pour les amoureux de l’Ocean avec un accès direct et facile à la plus belle plage de Biarritz et une vue extraordinaire depuis le studio
