FAQ & contact

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the check-in and check-out times?

Check-in is from 4 pm, and check-out is by 11 am.

Would you like to arrive before 4 pm or leave after 11 am? That depends on the guests staying immediately before or after you, and on the cleaning schedule. As other bookings can come in at the last minute, we can only know the day before, at best!

Please ask us the day before your arrival or departure rather than several weeks in advance.

In “Maison à 10 min du centre dans avenue privée !”, up to three non-dangerous pets are accepted, for an additional €50 per pet.

Pets require our express prior agreement at both houses. They are accepted only on condition that they cause no disturbance, including noise, to the neighbours and no damage, and that the property is left in a state of cleanliness showing no sign of their stay.

Please declare your pets and their number when booking. No pet-specific equipment such as bowls or litter trays is provided.

How does the security deposit work?

The security deposit is €500 for “8 min de la plage, 2 de la gare, 15 de St-Nazaire” and €800 for each of the two houses.

If it is still outstanding, you will receive an email the day before arrival asking you to provide it by bank card. You can also pay it by bank transfer at any time before arrival, as agreed.

For stays of fewer than six nights, the card deposit is a preauthorisation: your account is not charged, and the transaction may appear as “pending”, depending on your bank’s terminology.

For stays of six nights or more, the deposit is paid by bank transfer or by a charge to the bank card. After the stay, provided there are no grounds to retain it, notably relating to the condition of the property, it is returned in full: by a transfer for the same amount if originally paid by transfer; or by a transfer for the same amount or a card refund if originally charged to the card.
