The exclusive LORNSEN HÜS

Close to surfing, cycling, and more, this smoke-free 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 Sylter Heimatmuseum or the 6-minute walk to Wadden Sea. If you're looking to expand your horizons and see other nearby locales, you can catch a train at Sylt-Ost Keitum Station, a short 9-minute walk away.

After you return to this 1615-sq-ft vacation home, unwind in the garden or sip a drink on the deck or patio. As for the great indoors, you can come inside and enjoy the free WiFi and TV.

As you settle into this 5-bedroom, 4-bathroom rental, you'll find a living room, a dining area, a fireplace, and a desk. Bathroom amenities include a hair dryer and towels. Prepare a home-cooked meal in the kitchen, complete with an oven, a stovetop, and a refrigerator, as well as a coffee maker, a microwave, and cookware. And you won't have to pack extra clothes, because you'll have a washer and dryer, too.
