    Not that this is anyone’s fault, but as the property was on the top floor, the wind battered the apartment block all night making it difficult to sleep, ofc not anyone’s fault but something to take into consideration if you are a light sleeper like I am.

    Very well equipped, very clean, very nice host.

    Very small kitchen, almost no space to put food. On the other hand a very big dining table. Really ideal for a couple.

    In overall we were very happy with the place and the host was really lovely. The place is easy to reach, has a great view (not beach), it heats up easily. Very comfortable chairs, sofas and bed. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need, even with a washing machine, in case you stay for longer. There are enough fresh towels, a lot of little extras, so in overall a great place. Communication with the host was easy, very aimable person. We will come again.

    The location of this property is perfect. The beach is just in front of the place and easy to access to the town centre by tram. The owner is very nice and guided us kindly. Visiting there in summer time would be perfect.

    Finding a parking place is a nightmare. There are 3 types of parking places (for residents, free and payed) but in summer all are fully occupied. On one day it took us almost 2 hours to find a place.

    The beach was just across the street. It was big and there were very few people, so it was a great place to rest. Some nice restaurants were 10 min. from apartment. The host is very nice and responds quickly and explains all the details needed for stay.

    Our stay was wonderful made even more special by Emile the owner who ensured our stay was as comfortable and painless as possible. Emile communicated with us constantly until we arrived and met us at the entrance to the car park, telling us where and where not to park. he then took us on a tour of the facilities again making sure we had all the information necessary. There was even chocolates and wine to welcome us!!! We loved the location as it was opposite the beach which is what we wanted. We didn’t mind one but walking everywhere and into Osstende which is about 3 km away. The Trams are located a quick walk away and easy enough to catch. We could not fault anything about our stay and are most appreciative of the hospitality from Emile. Definitely be coming. can in the summer months.

    Emile the owner was fabulous he said the apartment was ready would we like to come in a little earlier which was great as we had been up since 2.30am. He met us at the property, showed us around, let us park our motorbike in the garage. As for the apartment wow, he had sweets, drinks and wine for us without any charge. The sweets we definitely dived into. Highly recommend this apartment

    The owner Emile showed us everything about the apartment when we arrived. It had everything we needed during our stay. Lots of towels, coffee machine with capsules, milk for coffee, water, wine, champagne, chocolate and free parking in front of apartment. We could stay like our house. We would definitely stay if we go there.

    Location was perfect! Free parking out front and didn't need to use the car at all. It is also a quieter part of the beach than central Ostend which was definitely a bonus as all services still within easy reach but fewer crowds. Everything we needed was provided - very much above and beyond compared to our other rental experiences. The host Emile was very patient and friendly.

    1. Parking is a nightmare. “Free parking without reservation required “ is actually a lie. The truth is reserved parking is IMPOSSIBLE! I had to keep moving car for a paid space to avoid the often showing up police. The police there does take pictures of cars parking at not allowed places. 2. The check-in way is also confused and very unfriendly. The owner asked me when I wanted to check in. I said about 4-5 pm. They provided me a PIN number, I thought it is like most of rental flat, I can collect the key by myself using the PIN. The owner never explained to me but kept asking me when I will arrive? And ask me to text him 30 mins before I arrive; 20 mins before I arrive. I found that annoying. We were on holiday, why do I need to rush to meet the check in time? Then the owner said he HAS TO leave at 17:45. Only at that moment, I realize he was waiting there for us. He never told me and I feel like he is hiding something from me deliberately… I asked me don’t push me. He said “ I have my life and I am not your slave.” His rude words totally ruined my holiday mood. I never thought of treating him as a slave. The problem is the way he runs his holiday flat! He even said Brugge to Ostend is 30 mins max, ask me to visit Brugge the next day. Ridiculous… the nav shows 40 mins driving at that moment. I as a tourist, how can I drive as fast as him? He even asked me to change my schedule to meet his time? The problem is he never told me he will wait for me there and he has to leave at certain time. I found the whole thing so unfair and unpleasant. As a genius level 3 member, I never bumped into such a situation. Hence I don’t recommend here. 3. Hot water is limited. Run out of it then you gotta wait for another two hours.

    Close to the beach. Good coffee and treats provided.
