Overview
Description
The house is situated in a superb position about 200m from the Mediterranean sea, with the dramatic and colourful Esterel mountains behind. In five minutes on foot (or two minutes by car) you can reach the sandy beach and the shops and restaurants of the village of Agay. In summer months, there are opportunities for various watersports, and on Wednesday mornings year-round the local open air market is in full swing. St Raphael is about 20 minutes drive and has many restaurants and shops, covered market, marina and crazy golf, boat trips along the coast and to St Tropez. The ancient town of Frejus, with Roman ruins and its mediaeval cathedral, is a further 10 minutes beyond St Raphael.Sleeps 6 (2 bedrooms)

Bed linen and towels are available. The house will be cleaned before your arrival, and we expect visitors to leave it in a similar clean state for the next visitors.
Please note the house is not a commercial buy-to-let; it's our own holiday house, built in the 1970s, which we are delighted to let others use. We would therefore request guests to look after the equipment and furnishings as if they were their own. Since we do not have a maintenance person coming in between visitors, we ask you please to let us know of any damage or breakages as soon as possible, so that we can inform the next guests. No pets or smoking, please.
The house is at one end of a terraced group of four, within a hillside estate of 29 houses with lower and upper parking areas. We park in the lower parking area.
The path from the carpark to the house includes a staircase of about 25 steps up. The footpath from the beach is about 150 m, most of which is up hill.
Private south-facing patio terrace of about 40 sq m, with garden in front and to one side.
Sun loungers and parasol available; chairs and a portable table can be brought outside from the salon (but please take inside at night or in rain).
150 metres (3 minutes) down the hill to wide sandy beach. Numerous water sport activities open in summer (eg kayaking, windsurfing, boat trips). Along the coast within 20 minutes in either direction are a great variety of other beaches, sandy and pebbly, popular or secluded, and some good snorkelling off the rocks. At any time of year you can walk along the sentier littoral as far as St Raphael.

Leave ReviewLovely calm house by the beach
By Steph on 18-Aug-2025We had a great stay with our young children. The house was calm and a 5 mins walk to a quiet sandy beach and local shops. Michael was a great host, very reactive and made everything easy. The house was clean and comfortable and perfect for what we were looking for. Recommend a stay here if you are after a relaxing holiday without too many tourists. Thank you for the warm welcome!
Lovely Relaxed Fortnight
By Paul & Nathalie on 02-Aug-2025Lovely house with all you need to cook, relax and visit the beach! Great location with easy rail access to all of the large towns along the coast. Agay is a nice little town with plenty of options to eat out if you want to stay local and its only a 10 minute walk from the house. We will be visiting again - thank you
12 Night Stay September '24
By Jason Andrews on 02-Sep-2024Superb quiet and private location with excellent convenience of local facilities and great beach. A real "home from home" experience with the convenience of recommendations / directions / comments about everything you would need for a stress-free holiday - for example: restaurants, supermarkets, local markets etc. Convivial, thoughtful and helpful owners.
A Gem!
By Terry on 05-Oct-2024We'd never been to Agay and the location was brilliant for us, hidden away between the bright lights of Saint Raphael and Cannes, with beaches, hikes and easy access by train (as well as car and bike) along the coast. The house was a really good base for the four of us, well equipped and comfortable and lovely out on the patio with views out to sea. The owners were very helpful and flexible. Highly recommended!
Highly Recommended
By Raymond & Joan on 21-Jun-2024We holidayed here last month and had a wonderful time. The house is very homely and comfortable, nicely decorated with a wonderful collection of books and music. Perfectly located in the friendly town of Agay a few minutes walk from the beach and local shops/cafes (Le Coast is very friendly and serve a great lunch). It’s an ideal spot from which to explore the local region or just stay put and enjoy the Mediterranean views from the surprisingly private terrace, we really enjoyed our BBQ evenings on the terrace. The owners couldn’t have been more helpful, we highly recommend this delightful property and hope to return in the future.
Truly Delightful
By James Cunningham on 19-Aug-2023Nestled between the Esterel massif and the beach, we absolutely love this spot on the Mediterranean coast. Agay is a quiet and charming little town with a beautiful bay. We have stayed with Michael and Sue on a number of occasions over the years and we wouldn’t stay anywhere else in this region of France. The owners take care of everything you need for a relaxing and enjoyable holiday and have made several improvements to the property during the time we have been visiting. It is a pleasure to stay here and we are grateful to them for sharing their home with us. You can enjoy lazy days, taking advantage of the short walk to the beach, or use it as a base for exploring the coast between St Tropez and Monaco. We’ve done both in equal measure and look forward to returning in the future.
