Words from happy guests

A super nice vacation home with lots of space. It was bigger than we expected from the photos. A super good layout of the rooms and the beautiful living and dining area. Both inside and outside in the garden there was never a dull moment with 3 small children. The walk to the swimming area and playground is highly recommended. A great vacation!

Clara Johanna from Germany

Agnes from Germany

Stay for 2 adults and 4 children

Very nice vacation home in a perfect location. As a family with two small children, we felt very comfortable. There were also quite a few amenities, such as children's tableware and a safety gate, which we thought was great. The view of the sea from the upper floor through the trees is very beautiful. The process with Malú was warm and smooth.

Paula from Germany

Stay for 2 adults and 2 babies

Great little house, well equipped, absolutely brilliant location. Less than a minute to the beach. About a 10-minute walk to the dog beach. Quiet location.

Tanja from Germany

Stay for 2 adults and 1 pet

The house has charm, is super stylishly furnished and well equipped. The creaking wooden floorboards speak for the age of the cottage. Spacious terrace. The garden offers beautiful places and also retreats, shady due to old trees. Super quiet location, despite being close to the beach. Beach access super close!!!!

Meinrad from Germany

Stay for 5 adults

The location of the house is unbeatable—right on the promenade. Waking up to the sound of the sea in the morning and falling asleep to it at night—that's what vacation is all about! The garden offers privacy and peaceful tranquility thanks to its many trees. The interior of the house is very tastefully decorated and you immediately feel at home. Everything is very clean! All in all, highly recommended 👍🏼
