Reetdachhaus Ask, Deutschland

Just a short distance from cycling, this smoke-free cottage 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 11-minute walk to Sankt Peter Ording Beach or the 11-minute walk to National Park Center St. Peter Ording. If you're looking to expand your horizons and see other nearby locales, you can catch a train at Bad St. Peter-Ording Station, a short 9-minute walk away.

After you return to this 1345-sq-ft cottage, unwind in the garden or sip a drink on the deck or patio. For a change of scenery, come inside and enjoy the WiFi and TV.

As you settle into this 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom rental, you'll find a living room and a fireplace. The kitchen is equipped 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.
