Steps from the beach, everything about this sunny apartment in the quaint seaside town of De Haan feels calm and peaceful – from the grey and white colour scheme to the salty air wafting through the windows. The pops of mustard yellow on the chair and throw pillows, the funky tropical pattern on the ottomans and the striped wallpaper in the bedrooms add a touch of playfulness that we can’t help but love. When you're ready to hit the beach, it couldn't be easier – just grab a towel, walk three minutes and you're there. If you're feeling peckish, there's an array of restaurants, cafes and bars on the promenade to discover, or simply nip back home to rustle up a quick lunch in the shiny kitchen. For a change of scenery, we recommend making the thirty-minute drive to Bruges, a fairytale town known for its cobbled streets, medieval architecture and picturesque canals.
