Historic waterworks on Hamburg's Elbe beach
Great place to stay in the countryside! We spent 3 nights visiting Hamburg - the former waterworks is an original accommodation directly on the banks of the Elbe (even if you can only see the Elbe from the outermost corner of the window...). The building makes a freshly renovated impression, everything is tip-top. Although you are not far from the center of Hamburg, you will find yourself absolutely in the countryside, in a quiet environment. And the center of Blankenese is within walking distance, with shops, cafes, bars and S-Bahn. We were very pleased!

Renovated beachfront apartment
We stayed here for a month. The apartment is in an excellent location with everything you need nearby. The surrounding area is beautiful and great for walks. The host was very quick to respond to any inquires and made us feel right at home. The apartment itself is very comfortable and we did not want for anything. I would definitely recommend this location for a rest by the sea.

NordicHafenPanorama|3 rooms with harbor views| 6 pers.
We stayed here for 4 days and the apartment is really nice! Everything as described and created for all ages. Great location, so you could easily walk around. The view is simply fantastic and the apartment is equipped with everything you need. We will be happy to come back.

Harbor Suite - Parking, Two Barthroom, Sea view
Beautiful apartment with great views of the lock, we felt very comfortable! Very nicely decorated, clean, great location, we would come back anytime.

Cozy basement apartment right on the canal
Very friendly and attentive host. Always happy to stay again.

Alster, Lake view!
I love this place and happy to stay again

Sunny Apartment in the Olympic Harbour of Kiel
The stay was very nice. The apartment is well equipped, very clean and as described. The location of the apartment is unbeatable. Communication with Sabine was straightforward and very friendly. Check-in as well as check-out were unproblematic. There's even a parking space that belongs to the apartment. We will be happy to come back.

Yachtpanorama | 1Zi | 7OG | 4P | Geestemünde
In addition to great recommendations for local activities and restaurants, communication with Marvin was extremely friendly and very easy and quick. That alone is worth the stay in his AirBnB, but it also convinces with its top location and great views! 10/10

Eiderstedt thatched cottage 125 sqm near Friedrichstadt
We had a wonderful stay at Carmen's vacation home! I was there with my mother, sister and dog for three days – and we felt completely comfortable. The house offers plenty of space, is very cozily furnished and was the perfect retreat for our little break. I would especially like to highlight the perfect accessibility and friendliness of hostess Carmen – from the very beginning we felt warmly welcomed and well taken care of. The surroundings invite you to beautiful excursions, and even with a dog everything was uncomplicated. Thank you for the great time – we will be happy to come back!

Sunny cottage, 2-5 people, quiet, close to the harbor
We felt right at home in the charming cottage. The location is convenient to the train station and the Husumer center quickly accessible after a short walk. The house is well equipped - as if Christiane was a guest here herself and knows what is needed. Our communication was always as coordinated and effective. We would move back to the cute house and would be happy to recommend it.

Sun and sea beach house
I spent 1 week in Lennart's beach house with my daughter and we had a great time with nice weather. Lennart was very quick to respond to requests and was super friendly and helpful. The check in was well described and easy. The view from the upper living room is a dream and invites you to linger. Dishes and cooking utensils are sufficiently available. All in all, a successful stay and we would be happy to come back.

Tede Warft Apartment No. 1
The house on the Tede Warft is absolutely perfectly located away from everything on the dyke, here you are alone with rabbits and birds and can enjoy the complete peace and relaxation. The apartment is very comfortable and attractively equipped and both the apartment and the entire grounds are well maintained. Absolute recommendation for anyone who wants to be alone in nature.

Gut Einhaus on the Baltic Sea - Spacious house with T
We stayed at Katharina's beautiful place over New Year's Eve with 4 families and a total of 6 children and had a great time! There is a lot of space and retreat options. The playroom is perfect and the kids loved it. The house is super equipped and was super cozy! Next time would use the upper bedroom but only as a game room. We will definitely be back, next time in summer so we also have something from the pool and tennis court:) Thanks also to Ms. Ms. Marthiensen for the nice welcome!

Vacation home with Eider access and three fishing piers!
The four of us had a wonderful stay in Nübbel. The house is cozy and very clean, well equipped and is fantastically located on the Eider :-), where you can fish and swim. Communication with Dirk always worked out just fine and was straightforward :-) ! Thanks for the great time - we'd love to come back..

"Am Wangermeer 97" - Beachhouse
We had a wonderful stay at Jan's in Wangerland! The house is modern, very well-maintained and well-equipped – you immediately feel comfortable. The large windows overlooking the lake are simply fantastic, especially in the evening, when everything is illuminated. The location right on the water invites you to relax, and it is also perfectly located for walks and excursions in the area. There were four of us traveling and there was plenty of room. Communication with Jan was super friendly and straightforward – he provided us with all the important information. Thank you for the wonderful time – we will be happy to come back and definitely recommend the accommodation!

Müllerkate vacation home
I had a wonderful week in the garbage cage. The location is super secluded and perfect for a few quiet days on the Baltic Sea with lots of nature. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to switch off a bit.

Right by the sea - apartment "JUSTE 5" for 2 people
Beautiful little apartment, very clean and modernly furnished. Since we were there for our wedding day, we were very pleasantly surprised, as the bed had been decorated as a small love nest. This was a great surprise. Communication was perfect. We will definitely come back, we were very satisfied.

Panoramameerblicksuite
It was so beautiful at Sarah and David's place. The place is fantastically beautiful, extremely tastefully decorated and the view is out of this world! We felt very comfortable and would definitely come back! Thank you very much!

On the beach of Solitüde, approx. 500 meters
For us, it was an all-around beautiful vacation. We felt right at home It doesn't get any better than this. Excellent apartment! From there, everything your heart desires is quickly accessible. We can only report positive things and would be happy to come back. Thanks very much. 🌺

WindjammerSuite Bremerhaven
We booked the apartment for a short vacation and were super satisfied. A really nice apartment overlooking the harbor. All sights and tourist destinations, such as the Climate House or the Emigrant House, are within walking distance. We'd come back!

Strandhuus (pr. Strandhotel) with lake view
We had super nice days at Britta's place! It has everything you need, the size is completely sufficient and within walking distance of everything. Git is also that there is an elevator, so you don't have to take all the luggage up the stairs. The view was great and it is great that Britta allows dogs in her place. We felt very comfortable and say THANK YOU again here for EVERYTHING dear Britta! ❤️

Apartment on the Elbe - XR43
A very nice and modern accommodation in a very idyllic landscape! A beautiful place to unwind & be close to Hamburg!

Apartment uptown in the Olympic harbor Schilksee
I was in Kiel for 5 weeks for work and I loved the accommodation! Thanks to the great weather, I was able to enjoy the sunset from the balcony every evening. The apartment is very nice and above all practically furnished. The beach is right outside the door and shopping was a breeze within a few minutes by car. Thanks to the private parking space, parking was always possible without any problems. The hosts were super friendly and always immediately available. If I have to go to Kiel again, I would definitely choose this accommodation again!

Vacation in Jork near Hamburg - right on the Elbe River
We felt very comfortable in the apartment! There is a blind for the window in the shower (for those who are also asking😉). The garden is a dream and we sat in the sun in the afternoon for an hour or two and watched the chicken gang during their laps. The street was quite noisy during our visit. The windows are super insulated - when they are closed, it's completely unproblematic. But we slept with the window open and then it was quite noisy. Maybe this will be better due to the leaves on the trees in front of the window, but everything was still bare with us. 🙂 The contact with Christoph was super nice, friendly and uncomplicated both before and on site.
