Haus Carolinenhöhe, Deutschland

Close to surfing, cycling, and more, this pet-friendly vacation home brings it all within reach. There's convenient onsite parking, so you can leave your vehicle behind and let your feet make short work of the 4-minute walk to Speedboat harbour or the 5-minute walk to Wadden Sea. If you're looking to expand your horizons and see other nearby locales, you can catch a train at Wyk auf Föhr Marina, a short 11-minute walk away.

Relax in the garden (enjoy the outdoor furniture!) or sip a drink on the deck or patio of this 1292-sq-ft vacation home. As for the great indoors, you can come inside and enjoy the WiFi and TV.

As you settle into this 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom rental, you'll find a fireplace, a safe, and a desk. Bathroom amenities include a hair dryer and towels. Feel free to prepare a home-cooked meal with the oven, refrigerator, and dishwasher, as well as the coffee maker, electric kettle, and microwave. And because there's a washer and dryer, you can go a bit lighter on your packing.
