An apartment with a heated pool gives you the freedom of a rental with the pleasure of a comfortable swim. On Arcachon Bay, heated pools are found in the waterfront thalasso centres and in many villas beneath the pines. Here are the 2 apartments I've selected on Arcachon Bay, all rated at least 8/10; I particularly recommend Suite avec piscine chauffée à deux minutes de la plage and Résidence Thalazur Arcachon.
Each city has its own selection, with a page for each type of accommodation.
Places are ranked from highest to lowest rated. The yellow bubble shows the advertised water temperature, when it's known.

Guide's tip. Outside April–October the pool isn't heated: the neighbouring thalasso centre then takes over.
These places don't have a confirmed heated pool, but they do have a hot tub: the water is hot all year round. A good way to relax in the warm.
These places were suggested to us directly by their owners. The heated pool is declared by them; they don't yet have enough guest reviews to join the selection.
In my selection, the top-rated is Suite avec piscine chauffée à deux minutes de la plage (Suite · Airbnb), with 4.98/5 (44 reviews · Airbnb). Next come Résidence Thalazur Arcachon (9.3/10).
None of the places selected on Arcachon Bay clearly advertises a pool heated all year round. At Résidence Thalazur Arcachon, heating is seasonal (april to october). Either way, ask for the heating dates before you book.
None of the places selected on Arcachon Bay gives a precise temperature. Ask the property before booking, especially out of season.
The word "heated" on a booking page isn't enough. Every place must have a rating of at least 8/10 (or 4/5) and carries one of these four levels.
Guests mention the heated water in their reviews, with the season when they say so.
A journalist or guide who stayed there describes the heated pool.
The hotel or the platform says so, but I haven't yet found a review that confirms it.
Heating isn't specified, but the water is sheltered from the wind and cold air. Ask for the temperature before you book.
I left these out because guests report water colder than advertised, or because no heating or indoor pool is mentioned.
