Breaks by the water don’t get much closer than this lovely holiday home on Wendtorf Marina. The apartment is just 20 metres from the water, so you can fall asleep each night to the sound of the water lapping the jetties just outside your window.

Wendtorf is one of the best-known sailing harbours in the region, so if you want to get out on the water, you couldn’t ask for a better spot. Even if you’re not keen to get out on a boat, there’s plenty to keep you entertained. The picturesque Bottsand Nature Reserve surrounds the harbour, and the Düne in Stein beach is just fifteen minutes away on foot. After enjoying a family breakfast together with a view over the harbour, you can set off to spend happy days swimming at the child-friendly beach, skimming stones, or exploring the nature reserve.

After busy days out of doors, returning to this bright little home is always a delight. Settle in by the wood-burning stove if the evenings turn chilly, or simply sit and admire the sunset over the harbour.
