The Dune Seaside Getaway holiday home is situated directly behind the peaks of the Springertduinen, a biodiversity-rich nature reserve at the westernmost point of the South Holland peninsula of Goeree-Overflakkee. Far removed from urban scenery and background noise, green woodpeckers and great spotted woodpeckers set the pace here; instead of cars, rabbits dart through the garden, or a couple of deer might pop by for an early morning coffee. Whether you stroll via a private access path straight to the 17-kilometre-long North Sea beach – one of the most beautiful in the Netherlands – or prefer to head to the Grevelingenmeer, Europe’s largest saltwater lake, with your water sports equipment, is entirely up to you.
The small village of Ouddorp, with its cafés, restaurants and boutiques, is also nearby.
With its architecture focused on the essentials, the holiday home pays homage to the simplicity and tranquillity of the dune landscape – featuring simple, clean lines and a naturally ageing façade made of padauk wood. Large windows blur the boundaries between indoors and outdoors. The rugged charm of the surroundings provides an exciting contrast to the white flooring and the minimalist, Scandinavian-inspired design.
The spacious, single-storey layout accommodates four people, comprising two double bedrooms, a bathroom with shower, and an open-plan living and dining area with a panoramic kitchen and cooking island. Those returning wind-tossed and happy from a walk on the beach, kitesurfing or spotting grey seals can warm up by the fireplace or outside by the fire pit. The garden extends the living space into the open air and, with seating, sun loungers and an outdoor shower, invites you to enjoy the outdoors. In the evening, it is even magically illuminated by the sunset and the light of the lighthouse.
