Private pool in Bidart: why do we use this term at Les 7 Nains residence?
When you’re looking for a vacation rental with a pool in Bidart, you often come across several terms: shared pool, communal pool, shared pool… and sometimes « private pool. »
At Les 7 Nains residence, some travelers ask us why we refer to it as a private pool when it’s the residence’s pool.
The answer is simple: here, the pool is reserved exclusively for vacationers staying on the property. And that makes all the difference.
A pool exclusively for residents
Les 7 Nains residence consists of just seven two-bedroom cottages located in a private, gated estate in Bidart, between Biarritz and Saint-Jean-de-Luz.
The pool is accessible only to those officially registered at the time of booking.
This means that:
• outside visitors do not have access,
• friends or family members coming to « spend the afternoon » cannot use the pool,
• locals or visitors cannot enter the residence to use the pool.
In other words: the pool is not open to the public, nor to occasional visitors.
A real difference compared to many other residences or campsites.
Today, many tourist facilities advertise a pool « reserved for residents, » but in reality:
• access is sometimes poorly controlled,
• the pool is visible and easily accessible from the outside,
• outside visitors can enter freely,
• some facilities open their pools during the day like a mini water park,
• others host group swimming, aqua aerobics, or first aid classes to further monetize the facilities.
The result: pools that are often very crowded, noisy, and far removed from the relaxing atmosphere sought during a vacation. At Les 7 Nains residence, we’ve made a different choice: to preserve the peace, safety, and tranquility of our guests.
A shared pool… but an intimate one
Yes, the pool is shared among the 7 cottages in the residence.
But with only a few accommodations in a family-friendly, green setting, the experience is very different from a large tourist resort.
Here:
• no crowds,
• no outside access,
• no « pool day » wristbands,
• no noisy entertainment,
• no constant coming and going.
The pool remains a space reserved exclusively for guests of the residence.
This is why many of our guests consider it « their pool » during their stay.
The comfort of a private pool… in a human-scale residence
Ultimately, when we talk about a « private pool, » we mean a truly private space reserved for the residents of the 7 cottages.
You will enjoy:
• a peaceful setting,
• limited occupancy,
• a family atmosphere,
• a gated and secure community,
• a true sense of exclusivity.
And even though the swimming pool is shared by the residence, it remains exclusively for the use of guests staying on-site.
