For a family mobile home rental on the Opal Coast, the ideal base is Le Portel: sea view, beach on foot, and Nausicaá 10 minutes away — all in a mobile home sleeping up to 6, booked direct, with no fees. Whether you travel with two toddlers or a tribe of six, here's how to pick the right one.
We're Michel and Véronique, parents and grandparents ourselves: our two mobile homes are designed for families, with what it takes to keep the children busy and the parents relaxed.
Which mobile home for which family?
The choice mainly depends on the size of the tribe:
- [Prestige](/pages/prestige) — 3 bedrooms, up to 6 guests: ideal for a family of 4 to 6, or two families of friends. A real bedroom per child, 12 m² covered terrace for meals outdoors.
- [Horizon](/pages/horizon) — 2 bedrooms, up to 4 guests: perfect for a couple with one or two children, gentler budget. Same sea view.
Why the Opal Coast is ideal for families
From Le Portel, everything is under 30 minutes to keep the children busy in any weather:
| Activity | Distance | For whom |
|---|---|---|
| Le Portel beach | on foot | All ages, lifeguarded in summer |
| Nausicaá (aquarium) | 10 min | Kids from age 3, rainy day |
| Foraging / tides | on site | Family, at low tide |
| Sand yachting Hardelot | 30 min | Teens and parents |
| Seals of the Authie bay | 45 min | Curious children |
The family budget, no nasty surprises
For a family, the direct-booked mobile home almost always beats a hotel (several rooms to pay for) and a rental with platform fees. Expect €75 to €140 a night for the whole place — not per person. The seasonal rates and availability are online.

The Prestige (3 bedrooms, 6 guests) for a family of 4 to 6 or two families; the Horizon (2 bedrooms, 4 guests) for a couple with one or two children. Both are in Le Portel, with a sea view and the beach on foot.
How much is a family sea-view mobile home rental?
From €75 to €140 a night for the whole mobile home (4 to 6 guests), with no agency fees when booking direct. It's often cheaper than a hotel where you pay for several rooms.
