Charming house near the beach
It was a great vacation, our children immediately felt comfortable in the family-friendly accommodation. For the adults, the sauna and the hot pot were of course the highlight! The house is furnished with a lot of love for detail, nothing was missing. We will be happy to come back in 2025! Kind regards from Hamburg, the Nebgen family
