Villa 300 m from the beach (+ beach hut from mid-April to mid-September)

Close to sailing, scuba diving, and more, this pet-friendly vacation home brings it all within reach. Jump into your car and make short work of the 1-minute drive to Knokke-Heist Beach or the 6-minute drive to Het Zwin (and enjoy the property's convenient covered onsite parking in the meantime). If you're looking to expand your horizons and see other nearby locales, you can catch a train at Knokke Station, a short 14-minute walk away.

After you return to this 2153-sq-ft vacation home, unwind in the garden or sip a drink on the deck or patio, and don't forget about the outdoor furniture. As for the great indoors, you can come inside and enjoy the free WiFi, cable/satellite TV, and stereo.

This 4-bedroom, 1-bathroom rental features a living room, a dining area, and a fireplace. Prepare a home-cooked meal in the kitchen, complete with an oven, a stovetop, and a refrigerator, as well as a coffee maker, an electric kettle, and a microwave. And because there's a washer and dryer, you can go a bit lighter on your packing.
