Renting a whole villa or house means having the heated pool to yourself, with family or friends. In the Landes, heated water mostly means villas to rent, around Hossegor, Seignosse and Capbreton. Here are the 7 villas and holiday homes I've selected in the Landes, all rated at least 8/10; I particularly recommend Villa avec piscine en bordure du golf d'Hossegor, Villa moderne climatisée avec piscine chauffée and Belle villa, piscine chauffée, océan à 500 m.
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 Villa avec piscine en bordure du golf d'Hossegor (Villa for rent · Airbnb), with 4.98/5 (41 reviews · Airbnb). Next come Villa moderne climatisée avec piscine chauffée (4.98/5) and Belle villa, piscine chauffée, océan à 500 m (4.96/5).
None of the places selected in the Landes clearly advertises a pool heated all year round. Either way, ask for the heating dates before you book.
None of the places selected in the Landes gives a precise temperature. Ask the property before booking, especially out of season.
No confirmed heated pool, but a hot tub: Le Cocon secret, bain à remous privé et sauna and Villa Landifornie, spa et surf.
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.
