Bocca Baie T2 en bord de mer – Axelle Loc Appart

Hotel Description

Look, I’ll be honest – when I first pulled up to this place on Avenue Francis Tonner, I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect. The name “Bocca Baie T2 en bord de mer” is a mouthful, but once you’re there, it actually makes perfect sense. This is one of those apartment-style spots that locals in Cannes know about but tourists often miss, tucked away in a quieter stretch where you can actually hear the Mediterranean lapping at the shore instead of just car horns.

What struck me right away was how genuinely close to the water you are here – I mean, you’re literally steps from the beach, not that “beachfront” nonsense where you need a telescope to see the sand. The T2 setup works really well if you’re planning to stay more than a couple nights; there’s enough space to spread out your stuff without tripping over your suitcase every time you want to grab a coffee. The kitchen isn’t huge, but it’s got everything you actually need, which is refreshing after staying in places where they give you a microwave and call it “kitchenette facilities.” You know what I appreciated? The windows actually open properly – sounds silly, but when you’ve got that sea breeze in the evening, you want to let it in.

The neighborhood itself is sort of perfectly positioned if you think about it. You’re far enough from the Croisette chaos that you can sleep without earplugs, but close enough that a fifteen-minute walk gets you right into the heart of things. There’s a little bakery about two blocks inland that opens ridiculously early – I stumbled across it around 6:30 AM and the croissants were still warm. Parking can be tricky during festival season (honestly, what isn’t in Cannes then?), but most of the year you’ll find spots on the side streets without too much drama. The 7.5 rating feels about right to me – it’s not luxury, but it’s solid and unpretentious. The kind of place where everything works like it should, the shower has decent pressure, and you’re not constantly wondering if you’re getting ripped off. Axelle, who manages the property, actually responds to messages quickly, which you’d be surprised how rare that is with apartment rentals. If you’re looking for marble lobbies and concierge services, this isn’t your spot. But if you want to wake up to actual ocean sounds and have enough space to live a little while you’re exploring the Côte d’Azur, it’s hard to beat the location and the price point.

  Close to train station
  Sea view from living room.
  Secure building
  Comfortable place and quiet.
  
  What could be improved: Extra fees for late check-in while there is nobody to welcome.
  Wrong passcode provided so difficult to get in or out of the building.

• Very good – Nghia from United States – 23 May 2025 (8/10)

  What could be improved: Underground parking too tight to maneuver car

• Overall it is ok . – Bin from United Kingdom – 27 May 2024 (8/10)

  The host is nice and friendly.
  
  What could be improved: There is no handwash and soap , we bought by our self .

• Poor – Mugu from Estonia – 5 May 2025 (3/10)

  The only advantages are the sea view and the beach nearby. Check in was also good.
  
  What could be improved: The apartment is very old all the furniture and other things in the apartment are also very old,there are ants in the kitchen, hallway, bathroom. The bed in the bedroom is very uncomfortable. There is a parking space in the garage, but only a very small car can fit in there. Trains pass by 100 meters away and all the noise comes into the apartment, the noise from the car road also comes the apartment.

• Good – Marilor from France – 11 May 2025 (7/10)

  Un grand balcon, avec une vue même de la chambre sur la mer. L'appartement est spacieux et très bien équipé, une machine à laver et un étendoir complètent ce bien.
  Un petit panier de bienvenue, Madeleine, chocolat et boisson au petit déjeuner.
  L'accueil très chaleureux.
  
  What could be improved: Le garage étroit, très compliqué d'ouvrir les portières, possibilité de se garer à l'extérieur de la résidence mais dans la rue, pour ma part j'ai réussi mais avec beaucoup de manœuvre.
  Ça décourage beaucoup les sorties !
  Porsche Cayenne ne rentre pas !
  
  Pas de digicode pour la sortie, pour un départ anticipé c'est impossible car Il faut attendre la venue du propriétaire ou le rejoindre à son domicile comme moi sur Mandelieu pour remettre le badge et les clés, dommage qu'on ne puisse pas les mettre dans la boîte aux lettres !!!
  
  L'appartement mériterait juste un petit coup de serpillière…sol collant !
  Aspect très propre cependant !

• Good – Omar from France – 12 April 2025 (7/10)

  Le logement avec vue sur la plage et un balcon spacieux
  
  What could be improved: Les équipements étaient anciens et quelques fourmis trouvé dans la cuisine

• Schönes Appartement in super Lage. Gerne wieder. – Markus from Germany – 3 November 2024 (9/10)

  Super Lage: Strandnah, Bushaltestellen direkt vor der Tür, Parkplatz. Schönes Appartement mit Morgensonne und Ausblick auf das Meer. Nette Konversation und sehr bemühte Vermieter, später Check Out war nach Absprache möglich.
  
  What could be improved: Etwas laut (Straße) im Schlafzimmer wegen nicht so gut isolierten Fenstern. Im Wohnzimmer aber schön ruhig. Garage für große Autos nicht geeignet, unser Clio hat noch gepasst.

• Very good – Christelle from France – 29 October 2024 (8/10)

• Ottima posizione, da migliorare certi aspetti – Michele from Italy – 1 April 2024 (6/10)

  La Signora ci accolti molto bene e spiegato tutto. La posizione è buona a 5 minuti dalla stazione dei treni e accanto alla stazione degli autobus. Zona ben servita a livello di supermercati e roba da mangiare ecc… c’è un po’ di tutto. Dall’appartamento si vede una bella vegetazione e il mare, molto bello prendere i pasti guardando il mare. Ha il garage dove poter mettere l’auto un po’ stretto, la mia Audi a4 station wagon ci stava bene seppur ho dovuto fare un paio di manovre. Comunque all’esterno c’è un parcheggio comunale gratis in caso l’auto non entri nel garage.
  
  What could be improved: L’appartamento un po’ datato, ma non malissimo, all’ interno si trova tutto dal phon a piatti pentole, bollitore, macchina per il caffè ecc… Insomma tutto l’occorrente che serve in un appartamento. Purtroppo l’appartamento era abbastanza sporco in modo speciale il bagno… Abbiamo dovuto comprare i prodotti e pulire noi… Per il resto va anche bene. Se fosse un po’ rinnovato e pulito sarebbe bello.
