Seaside larger homes with high standards

CiprianRating, 5 stars1 week ago

Nine of us (six adults and three children) stayed in the house over the Easter weekend. It’s located within walking distance of the coast, where you can enjoy beautiful walks, explore the area, or even go for a swim. The house itself is warm and welcoming, and it has everything you might need, including a fully equipped kitchen, plenty of toys, and a great outdoor area where we had our first barbecue of the year. There are also a few bicycles one can use. Rebecka and her father-in-law were both very helpful and kind. They allowed us to check in early and check out late, which was fantastic—and especially appreciated by the children, who made the most of the trampoline. Thank you for a lovely weekend!

Rockstar Cabin in Stora Rör

MariaRating, 5 stars9 months ago

We have had nice days on Öland. It was a good starting point to stay here if you want to travel around the southern part of Öland. Nice little harbor in Stora Rör that we could walk down to, also walk through beautiful forest down to a small beach. Mårten and Anna were really nice and the little house was nice and fresh and suited the two of us perfectly. Highly recommend them. Thank you:-) / Maria and Jörgen

The lake house

MitziRating, 5 stars1 week ago

A really nice cabin/house in a beautiful area of Småland. For anglers like us, it was a hit. Dinghy with electric motor can be found at the house located on the shore of an excellent fishing lake Madkroken. In addition, there is access to an alluminum canoe on the smaller but super idyllic Skärsjöarna 1 km walk from the house. The host is very accommodating. Highly recommended.
