House Ellen, ground floor apartment

A short distance from sailing, birdwatching, and more, this pet-friendly apartment lets you experience it all. There's convenient onsite parking, so you can leave your vehicle behind and let your feet make short work of the 12-minute walk to Wadden Sea or the 8-minute walk to Utersum Beach.

Relax in the garden or sip a drink on the deck or patio of this 807-sq-ft apartment, which also offers a BBQ grill. As for the great indoors, you can come inside and enjoy the free WiFi, cable/satellite TV, stereo, and DVD player.

As you settle into this 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom rental, you'll find a living room and a dining area. The kitchen is equipped with an oven, a stovetop, and a refrigerator, as well as a coffee maker, a microwave, and cookware. And because there's access to laundry facilities, you can go a bit lighter on your packing.
