"Alte Wache Haus", family dream with garden and whirlpool under thatch

Close to birdwatching, 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 2-minute walk to Wadden Sea or the 14-minute walk to List Beach East. If you're looking to expand your horizons and see other nearby locales, you can catch a train at List (Sylt) Harbor, a short 15-minute walk away.

After you return to this 1507-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, cable/satellite TV, stereo, and DVD player.

A living room, a dining area, and a desk are featured at this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom rental. 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 a toaster. And you won't have to pack extra clothes, because you'll have a washer and dryer, too.
