Frequently asked questions
What does a seaside holiday home cost on average per night?
The price of a seaside holiday home varies on average between €80 and €250 per night, depending on location, season and amenities. Beach cottages or luxury dune houses are often more expensive than simple cottages on the coast.
Where can I rent a cottage by the sea with dog?
Many vacation parks and private rentals on the Dutch and Belgian coast offer cottages by the sea where dogs are welcome. Search by filters such as cottage with dog by the sea or choose a destination with dog beach, such as Egmond aan Zee or De Haan
What is the difference between a beach house and a dune house?
A beach house literally stands on the beach and offers a direct view of the sea. A dune house is just behind the dunes, often sheltered and with more privacy. Both types offer a unique coastal experience, but the beach house is really by the water.
Can a cheap seaside holiday home still be found in high season?
Yes, but be early. Book at least 3 to 6 months in advance or choose lesser-known coastal resorts such as Breskens or Wenduine. Being flexible with arrival and departure days also helps you find more competitive deals.
