Ferienhaus Nordseelust mit Sauna und Kamin 5 Minuten zum Strand

Perfect place with all necessities. Very well located (near a beautiful beach and bike highway). We'll come back for sure!

The good: overall the house is nice, with a well appointed kitchen, comfortable ample seating everywhere, big sunroom, functional fireplace, and comfortable beds. It even has a sauna. Everything is clean and in good repair. The surprises: Home is located in a vacation park, privately owned. Park is nice, but getting in is a nightmare since the fobs to open the gate are very finicky, causing back-ups at entry at busy times. At check-in we received the wrong house key from the local care taker, who lives 10 minutes away. To her credit she corrected the situation as fast as she could. There is NO bathroom on second floor. Both full bathrooms are on ground floor. No separate toilet in the house.The bad: An awful sewer smell in the street, around the house and even in the hallway and one bathroom. Extra fees: a week before arrival, owner informed me of extra fees to be paid on site to the local caretaker, in CASH: a cleaning fee and a damage deposit. (VRBO won't allow me to show amount). I already paid the mandatory $59 insurance at time of booking through VRBO, but was told by owner that was irrelevant, and these fees were clearly stated in the "FeWo Direct" (?) description. Could be. I wouldn't know since no mention of it on VRBO. Also, NO towels or bedsheets. They can be rented from caretaker or brought by guests. Lastly, there is no soap, cleaning supplies, toilet paper, cooking spices etc. VRBO's been informed of discrepancies in rental description.
