Soustons plage Maison terrasse 2 pers et 1 enfant Les villas du lac Tennis mini golf Overview

You know what caught me off guard about this place? The name makes it sound way more complicated than it actually is – I mean, “Soustons plage Maison terrasse 2 pers et 1 enfant Les villas du lac Tennis mini golf” is quite a mouthful, but honestly, once you’re there on Avenue de la Petre, it’s just this straightforward little villa setup that feels more like staying at someone’s well-organized vacation rental than a traditional hotel. The whole property sits in this interesting spot where you’re close enough to Soustons beach that you can actually hear the ocean if you listen for it, but you’re also right by Lac de Soustons, which I found way more peaceful than the beach scene anyway.

The terrace they mention in the name? It’s actually the best part of the whole setup. I spent most of my mornings out there with coffee, watching people head out for their tennis games (the court’s right there, nothing fancy but perfectly functional), and there’s something really satisfying about having that outdoor space to yourself – well, sort of to yourself since it’s designed for a couple and a kid, which is exactly what the setup feels like. The accommodation itself is pretty no-frills, and look, I’m not going to pretend it’s luxury or anything, but it’s clean and has everything you need. The kitchen area actually works well if you want to grab supplies from the Intermarché down the road instead of eating out every meal. What I really appreciated was how quiet it gets in the evenings – you’re far enough from the main Soustons strip that you don’t get the summer party noise, but close enough that you can walk to the decent restaurants near the port.

Here’s the thing though – this place has a 5.9 rating, and I get why it’s not higher. The mini golf is pretty tired (my kid still loved it, but it’s definitely seen better days), and honestly, calling it a “boutique hotel” is stretching it when it feels more like a vacation rental that happens to offer hotel-style bookings. But that’s also kind of why it works? If you’re looking for that sweet spot between camping and a proper resort, especially if you’re traveling with a child and want the flexibility of your own space without the chaos of a big hotel, this hits differently. The whole Les Villas du Lac concept means you get the community amenities without feeling like you’re packed in with hundreds of other guests. Plus, parking is never an issue – which anyone who’s tried to navigate Soustons in July will tell you is worth its weight in gold. It’s not going to blow your mind, but for a low-key base to explore the Landes coast, it actually delivers on being exactly what it says it is.
