With a whole-property rental the pool is private: you swim whenever you like. Just check that heating is included, or request it when you book. In Honfleur, warm water is found in a few spa hotels and rental houses around the Vieux Bassin. Here are the 2 villas and holiday homes I've selected in Honfleur, all rated at least 8/10; I particularly recommend Les 3 Fresnes, gîte avec piscine and Villa en centre-ville avec jardin, vue et piscine.
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.

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 Les 3 Fresnes, gîte avec piscine (Villa for rent · Airbnb), with 4.83/5 (139 reviews · Airbnb). Next come Villa en centre-ville avec jardin, vue et piscine (5.0/5).
None of the places selected in Honfleur clearly advertises a pool heated all year round. At Les 3 Fresnes, gîte avec piscine, heating is seasonal (may to september). Either way, ask for the heating dates before you book.
None of the places selected in Honfleur gives a precise temperature. Ask the property before booking, especially out of season.
No confirmed heated pool, but a hot tub: Les 2 gîtes avec piscine et spa and Les Hauts du Clos Fleuri.
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.
