The Space:

Step out into the salt-tinged air of De Haan and feel the pace of life slow. This three-bedroom apartment sits at the centre of one of Belgium's most treasured coastal villages — a place of heritage tram lines, dune-backed promenades, and sandy shores you can reach on foot. From the bright living room, a lateral sea view frames the horizon, giving you a quiet reminder of where you are even before you step outside.



Living space

The living room is anchored by a large window that draws in generous natural light throughout the day. Seating is arranged around a comfortable lounge area, and the atmosphere throughout the apartment carries a traditional warmth — considered furnishings, a sense of calm, and nothing superfluous. A dedicated workspace is available if you need to catch up on anything during your stay.



Sleeping arrangements

Three bedrooms sleep up to five guests. The master bedroom features a double bed and has an ensuite bathroom accessible through an open doorway. The second bedroom offers two single beds, and the third has a single bed — well suited for a child or a fifth guest. Room-darkening shades, bed linens, extra pillows, and blankets are all provided.



Kitchen & dining

The fully equipped kitchen handles everything from a morning coffee to a full evening meal. You'll find a fridge, freezer, microwave, stove, dishwasher, hot water kettle, coffee maker, toaster, and wine glasses — as well as cooking basics, dishes, and silverware. The dining table seats five, making it easy to gather the whole group for meals in.



Bathrooms

Two bathrooms serve the apartment. One features a bathtub, the other a shower. Both are stocked with shampoo, conditioner, body soap, shower gel, and hot water. Towels, bed sheets, and toilet paper are also provided.



Out the door

De Haan's beach is a short walk from the apartment's front door. In autumn, the coast takes on a quieter, more contemplative character — long stretches of sand, brisk sea air, and the kind of light that makes a morning walk genuinely restorative. The Concessie Wijk neighbourhood, just nearby, is lined with Belle Époque villas that reward a slow stroll. La Potinière park offers playgrounds, tennis courts, and a terrace, while De Haan Dijk provides a scenic route along dunes and sea for walkers and cyclists alike. Bike rentals are available locally if you'd like to cover more ground. The coastal tram stop "De Haan aan Zee" connects you to neighbouring towns along the Belgian coast. For golf, the Royal Ostend Golf Club is within reach. When it comes to eating out, Bistro Villa Julia, Mano, and Tea Room Boehof are among the options close by.



Practical details

The apartment accommodates up to five guests and includes Wi-Fi, a washer, dryer, TV, elevator access, free street parking, a private entrance, and a lockbox for self check-in. Pets are welcome. Beach essentials — towels, umbrella, beach blanket, and snorkelling gear — are provided. Luggage drop-off is available for early arrivals or late departures, and long-term stays are accepted.



Guest Access:

Guests will have exclusive access to the entire apartment, including the bright living area with its lateral sea view, the fully equipped kitchen, the spacious dining area, three bedrooms, and two bathrooms. The apartment is designed to provide a comfortable and private stay for your group. You'll also have access to essential amenities such as a washer, dryer, and wireless internet.
