Home port: cozy vacation apartment in the heart of Greetsiel

A short distance from birdwatching, motor boating, and more, this family-friendly apartment lets you experience it all. Thanks to the convenient onsite parking, you can either leave your vehicle behind and let your feet make short work of the 12-minute walk to Lower Saxony Wadden Sea National Park, or easily tackle the 27-minute drive to Norddeich Beach.

After you return to this 700-sq-ft apartment, unwind in the hot tub or sip a drink on the deck or patio, and don't forget about the outdoor furniture. When you come inside, connect to the free WiFi or get cozy in front of the cable/satellite TV (video library available). There's also a DVD player and a stereo for your enjoyment.

As you settle into this 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom rental, you'll find a living room and a fireplace. You can also use the jetted bathtub, plus other bathroom amenities like towels, toilet paper, and a hair dryer. Prepare a home-cooked meal in the kitchen, complete with an oven, a stovetop, and a refrigerator, as well as a coffee maker, an electric kettle, and a microwave. And you can even pack a bit lighter because there's a washer and dryer.
