Holiday home rental on Rügen

When looking at the different regions, the location of your home often determines the mood of your trip. In the east are the fashionable seaside resorts where you can step right from your apartment onto the promenade. If you are looking for more space and nature, the peninsulas in the southeast or the quiet north are ideal. Here there are many detached houses with large gardens. Many people choose these accommodations on Rügen because it allows them to experience the pure island feeling.

One of the most characteristic images of the island are the houses with thick thatched roofs. These so-called Reetdachhäuser immediately radiate coziness and tradition. You find them especially in places like Mönchgut or near the Bodden waters. Inside, these houses are often surprisingly modern, but the atmosphere of yesteryear remains. This type of accommodation is very popular among travelers specifically looking for unique holiday homes in Germany with a local character.

In places like Binz and Sellin are the famous white villas that give Rügen its royal look. Many of these historical properties have been fully restored and furnished as luxury holiday homes. Here you will enjoy high ceilings, large balconies and often a sauna in the building. It is the perfect choice for those who want to combine a luxury holiday on the Baltic coast with style and comfort. You are always within walking distance of the best restaurants and the famous piers here.

For families, proximity to the beach is often the decisive factor. On the eastern side of the island you will find wide beaches with fine sand and shallow water, which is ideal for small children. Many vacation parks and individual houses in villages like Baabe or Glowe are fully equipped for families. Think an enclosed garden, a high chair and sometimes even a wagon ready for a day at the beach. This makes your holiday a lot more relaxing because you have everything at hand.

Rügen is a very dog-friendly destination and this is reflected in the range of holiday homes on offer. There are numerous owners who explicitly allow dogs in their homes. Moreover, almost every seaside resort has a specially marked "Hundestrand" where your faithful four-legged friend is allowed to run and swim freely. When picking out a property, make sure that the garden is well fenced off. That way you can sit outside with peace of mind while your dog explores the new surroundings.

Because the weather on the coast can still sometimes turn, many homes are equipped with extra luxuries. A private sauna or a wood-burning stove is the rule rather than the exception on Rügen. The presence of a private beach basket in the garden or on the nearby beach is also a fine extra that is often included in the rental price. Many houses also have their own parking space, which is a big advantage in the busier summer months when public parking spaces are scarce.

If you have your eye on a specific house, it's smart not to wait too long to book. Especially the houses right by the sea are often taken a year in advance for the school vacations. Also take into account additional costs such as final cleaning and tourist tax, which you often pay locally or through the landlord. By the way, with your Kurkarte you often get free access to beach promenades and discounts on local buses, so be sure to take advantage of that during your stay.
