This is a small, bright and clean apartment with lovely terrace overlooking the Somme Bay. It is in a residential area about 20 mins from le Crotoy centre and we didn't find any local shops - best to shop in advance.
I think 4 persons (2 would sleep on sofa bed in main room) would find the space tight. The toilet is on the floor below the large bathroom which is a little inconvenient, particularly negotiating the stairs at night.
I would suggest that the owners should consider upgrading the crockery and cooking utensils which would give a higher rating. Most people choose self catering because they want the flexibility of cooking for themselves rather than using restaurants all the time.
French owned, this is possibly more geared to French holidaymakers. For us, it was an easy drive from Calais and we found some excellent restaurants in the area. The owners were very helpful.
We chose this apartment because we were let down on an earlier booking, but we were so pleased! On entering the building and indeed when first going into the apartment, it feels very utilitarian and bare but don't be put off! The apartment is so close to the beach and its biggest plus is the huge balcony which catches the sun for most of the day.
The apartment is very well equipped with plenty of glasses and crockery and everything you might need in the kitchen - except maybe a kettle. There are plenty of chairs inside and out. The beds are comfy and we all slept well. The 'cabine' with the bunkbeds is in a section of hallway near one of the bedrooms but cosier than it sounds and my 12 yr old son was very happy with it.
We loved the town of Fort Mahon Plage, plenty of restaurants and ice cream shops, plus a good boulangerie. The restaurants were not cheap but the food was of a high quality.
The beach is Fort Mahon's biggest attraction - a long, wide and very sandy beach with plenty of space and the sea was warm too.
We wouldn't hesitate to recommend this apartment, and would happily visit again in the future. One tip - email the owner in French for a prompt and helpful reply.
We were very pleased with this warm and comfortable cottage, which matched the description and photos supplied. The location, overlooking the beach and close to shops and restaurants, is great.
If you decide to rent this property, remember to take sheets, (not duvet covers) towels and large, square pillow cases with you as they are not supplied.
You should also be aware of the need to purchase a parking permit -we understand a weekly permit is available from the Mairie. Offseason, we parked in the courtyard as no-one was occupying the adjacent property but that was just good luck. The courtyard is quite difficult to drive into, however.
Location was great - we had a great holiday helped by wonderful weather. View from the flat over the beach is wonderful.
Property needs a little attention: bunk bed very creaky - top bunk not really useable and sofa cover needs replacing. Surprising lack of many basic kitchen utensils.
I feel the advert should state that it is a second floor flat accessed only by a steep staircase.
Very friendly owner, available and accommodating. Apartment faithful to the description and very clean. I would happily rent this apartment again.
Propriétaire trés sympathique, disponible et arrangeant.
Appartement fidèle à la description et trés propre.
Je louerais de nouveau cet apparetement avec plaisir.
I have spent a few days at Christmas time several times and it suits me very well The simple, quiet studio and the sound of the waves are enough for me I will come back without problem Granny
Cela fait plusieurs fois que je passe quelques jours au moment de Noël et cela me convient très bien
Le studio simple, tranquille et le bruit des vagues me suffisent
Je reviendrai sans problème

Beautiful studio, very well located, very quiet and very functional. With a reserved space in a private car park, very useful in Fort-Mahon where all car parks are subject to charges.

Avec un emplacement réservé sur un parking privé, très utile à Fort-Mahon où tous les parkings sont payants.

I am satisfied with the rental. It was exactly as advertised. Plus the weather was good... a real stroke of luck. Currently I have never been disappointed with mediavacance rentals.
Je suis satisfait de la location. Elle correspondait exactement à l'annonce. En plus le temps était au beau fixe... un vrai coup de chance. Actuellement j'ai jamais été déçu des locations de mediavacances.
Great week spent at the beginning of September! The rental is very well located, very close to the beach with a superb view of the dunes and not far from the city center. The studio is very well appointed, bright and quiet which is very pleasant. Owner attentive. THANKS.
Formidable semaine passée début septembre ! La location est très bien située, très proche de la plage avec une superbe vue sur les dunes et non loin du centre-ville. Le studio est très bien agencé, lumineux et au calme ce qui est très agréable. Propriétaire à l'écoute. Merci.
