We spent two weeks in this wonderful house and we are already planning to come back. Everything was great! A perfect family holiday home in our eyes.
First of all, we were greeted with fresh flowers, a bottle of crémant and a bag of crepes by our lovely hosts– so thoughtful! They live right next door and were very gracious, even if the children were a little louder. When something was broken, they tended to it immediately.
The beach is just a small footpath away. You’ll have to walk a bit until you’re at the good waves, but it’s really just five minutes until you feel the sand under your toes. The beach is very long, you can walk to the Isle de Sieck and to the surf school on Dossen Beach.
The house is partly modernly renovated, partly it still has the charms of decades past. Everything was very clean, the beds made when we arrived (attention: this is to an additional cost – I think at least the German translation of the site messed that up) and we could get started with our holiday right away.
The garage had enough space to hold all of our bikes and out beach equipment. A few children’s toys were there as well. Washing machine in excellent condition. An extra fridge in the garage was very useful in the hot weather to hold chilled drinks.
The garden is completely enclosed so our dog and the children were in no danger to run off. A great number of chairs and lounge chairs, umbrellas against the sun and enough place to either lounge around in sun or shade or to play with the kids made the garden perfect for us. A line for hanging the washing is there as well.
The kitchen was very well stocked with plates, pots and pans, big serving plates, cutlery and all of the utensils you need for eating sea food as well. They had needles for eating sea snails and crab tongs to crack open crab claws if you prepare them yourselves. It was so much fun to prepare meals there.
Great view from two of the bed rooms over the bay and towards the sunset.
Lovely walks on the seaside and in the dunes.
The next towns with lovely shops and restaurants are just a short car ride away, the next big supermarkets as well. The bakery is maybe fifteen minutes by bike (we rode with the kids through the lovely French countryside so we were a little slow) and has everything you need in the mornings.
The road right outside the garden has very little traffic, we were not bothered in the least.
We had perfect holidays here! Thank you so much Olivier and Joelle
