You might not associate long, golden sandy beaches with The Netherlands, but this home offers sea views and easy access to the shoreline. Located in the town of Noordwijk, it's ideal for guests planning a coastal getaway with their closest friends or family.

The living room is a haven of calm, with a soothing colour palette and natural textures that invite you to settle in. When you get hungry, the kitchen has everything you need to whip up some of your favourite dishes using fresh, local ingredients. And, the private balcony is the perfect spot to enjoy an evening tipple as you watch the world go by below and gaze out across the water

You only need to walk for one minute to arrive at the shoreline, where you can soak up the sun and paddle in the surf. There is a selection of restaurants and bars in Noordwijk serving regional dishes, and the historic heart of the city is full of Dutch charm. And, with both Amsterdam and The Hague within a forty-five-minute drive, it's easy to pop into the city when you want to.
