Summer houses for the great big family
Vacation with the large family
73 m²
On the beautiful, scenic peninsula of Helnæs, you'll find this nostalgic holiday home that offers peace, relaxation and time for togetherness in true seaside hotel style. From the house you have a view of the sea and the morning sun, which brightens up the living room when you step out of the cozy rooms in the morning.
The house is decorated with recycled furniture and quirky flea market finds, carefully selected to preserve the nostalgic cottage feel. The spacious kitchen is the heart of the house, with room and space to read a good book in the rocking chair in front of the wood-burning stove, play board games at the dining table and enjoy a glass of wine with the chef from the other side of the kitchen island. The 100 sqm terrace around the house offers several different atmospheres, with a barbecue, sun loungers, sandpit, outdoor shower, hanging chair and countless sun spots. And if you're looking for a real bonfire with a sea view, you can bring a tray with drinks and marshmallows to the back of the large garden. In the garden there's also a large sandpit shaped like a pirate ship with plenty of toys for the little ones, and inside the bunk room is big enough to fit a travel cot. In addition to a travel cot, there's also a high chair so your little one can sit at the table for cozy moments.
With only 100 meters to the beach, you can easily take a morning dip from the new jetties on a beautiful little beach that is rarely crowded. And if you prefer to enjoy the sea above water, you can jump in one of the house's red kayaks and take a trip on Helnæsbugten. There are also great opportunities for fishing from the many coastal sites.
You'll experience a very special atmosphere as soon as you see Funen in the rearview mirror and pass the beautiful dam across to Helnæs. It's like stepping straight into a Morten Korch movie with cozy houses, farm shops, flea markets and bison enjoying their large, free nature area. There are plenty of opportunities for walks and exploration in the beautiful nature Helnæs offers - either at Helnæs Made (a 280 ha nature area), or Bobakkerne, where you can experience the most beautiful sunset over the Little Belt while sitting on top of the natural hills.

Host since January 2022
We are Bente and Claus, an active and mature couple who live in Odense. We bought Sommerlyst in 2017 and have since put our hearts and souls into renovating it into a wonderful sanctuary for us, our three daughters and their families. We enjoy spending time in the house with barbecues, swimming and playing croquet in the garden.
We love the way our shoulders are lowered and calmness sets in as we cross the beautiful dam to Helnæs. The nature around Helnæs is wonderful and we like to enjoy the active life of kayaking and mountain biking when we're here. We like to start by taking a walk down to the water with a nice glass in hand and just sit on a bench and watch the ferries that always sail between Bøjden and Fynshav. In between, we have dinner at Helnæs Kro and visit Gl. Brydegaard, which, in addition to having a lovely restaurant, also often has a nice little stall with the most delicious Funen brunsviger for the walk on the hillside. Our little cotton dog Malou loves the wide open spaces as much as we do.

Very nice house, with personal touch. A microwave would be great. ;-) The only thing we missed.
