Strandläufer Schönhagen: Large vacation home for 12 guests; dogs welcome

A short distance from sailing, scuba diving, and more, this pet-friendly vacation home 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 5-minute walk to Schönhagen Beach, or easily tackle the quick 5-minute drive to Schwansener See.

Relax in the garden or sip a drink on the deck or patio of this 1410-sq-ft vacation home, which also offers a BBQ grill. For a change of scenery, come inside and enjoy the free WiFi, cable/satellite TV, stereo, and DVD player.

A living room and a fireplace are featured at this 6-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 cookware. And because there's a washer and dryer, you can go a bit lighter on your packing.
