Scharbutze, Deutschland

Close to cycling, hiking trails, and more, this smoke-free apartment brings it all within reach. Scharbeutz Beach is just a short walk away, so you can leave your car at the property, which offers onsite parking, or jump in your vehicle to make short work of the 6-minute drive to Timmendorfer Beach.

Spend a day at the nearby beach, relax by the pool, or sip a drink in the garden of this 484-sq-ft apartment, which also features a balcony. As for the great indoors, you can come inside and enjoy the WiFi and cable/satellite TV.

Feel free to prepare a home-cooked meal with the oven and dishwasher, coffee maker, toaster. And because there's a washer and dryer, you can go a bit lighter on your packing.
