Quiet apartment in the countryside, near the beach in Norderney

Sometimes it’s the rustling of the pine trees that you notice first. Anyone who enters the vacation rental at Kiefernweg 7 quickly realizes: It’s quieter here than in the center of the island. The pine forest is right outside the door, and yet the North Sea beach is within easy walking distance—about 400 meters away. This combination of natural beauty and proximity to the beach makes the second-floor apartment a true haven of peace for anyone who wants to enjoy an island vacation away from the hustle and bustle.

The 44 square meters are thoughtfully laid out. The first bedroom features a double bed, while the second has two single beds, making the apartment suitable for up to four people. Small families or two couples traveling together will feel equally at home here. If you’re traveling with a toddler, you can optionally book a crib and a high chair. The separate kitchen is well-equipped: a coffee maker, electric kettle, toaster, microwave, and dishwasher ensure that your mornings start off relaxed and cleanup is a breeze. Towels and bed linens are, of course, included.

For longer stays on the island, the washer and dryer are a real convenience. Bicycles can be parked right on the property, and a private parking space is also available. So if you’re arriving by car, you’ll find everything you need right on site.

The apartment is a great starting point for days that can take many different forms: cycling through the dunes in the morning, soaking up the sun on Nordstrand beach at noon, and relaxing on the sofa with a glass of wine in the evening. There’s a TV available in case the weather isn’t cooperating. Even then, there’s plenty to discover on Norderney, from the bade:haus to the Kurtheater to the expansive hiking trails in the eastern part of the island.
