sunny weekend

It was a wonderful sunny weekend in rijs. The villa was very clean and communication with Otto was great. The cat of the house was a small highlight for us, because she also wanted to be taken care of in the morning. It is a short distance through the forest to the sea, but then you will be rewarded with great water. thank you for everything.

Wunderschönes Ferienhaus

Wir haben ein paar tolle Ostertage in dem wunderschönen, sehr großen und bestens ausgestattetem Haus verbringen dürfen. Es war sehr sauber und sehr ansprechend eingerichtet. Die Kommunikation mit der Besitzerin funktionierte tadellos. Wir können das Haus uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen.

Wochenendtrip nach Rijs

Das Haus ist etwas in die Jahre gekommen, aber die Einrichtung ist geschmackvoll und es ist bestens ausgestattet. Der Kontakt mit der Vermietung war hervorragend! Es gab zu Beginn 1-2 Kleinigkeiten die nachgebessert werden mussten und das wurde schnell und freundlich erledigt!

Ideale Unterkunft um Durchzuatmen

Wir waren mit der Familie für ein verlängertes Wochenende dort. Alles lief perfekt - von der Kommunikation über die Einweisung bis zur Abreise. Eine ideale Unterkunft für uns, um schnell in der Natur zu sein und dem Alltag etwas zu entfliehen. Das Haus war sauber und alles funktionierte sehr gut - und auch die treue Katze wurde gut versorgt :-)

Speels huis

Prachtige, volledig ingerichte splitlevel woning, met 2 badkamers en 3 extra wastafels. Buiten troosteloze omgeving op voormalig jeugdzorg terrein waar de huizen dicht op elkaar staan en er uitzicht is naar geen van de 4 kanten. Goed uitgangspunt voor verkenning van de omgeving.

Een heerlijk ruim huis.

Wij waren met 7 volwassenen, 1 kleinzoon van 3 en 1 van 1. We hadden de ruimte als gezin. Alles was keurig. Wat wel een punt is om op te letten is dat een kindje van 1 graag overal opklimt. En dan zijn de trappetjes ondanks het hekje wel iets om in de gaten te houden. Voor de kleinzoon van 3 was het geen probleem. Echt een aanrader.

Excellent place and host

It’s a lovely spacious house with everything we needed for our friends and young family. The host was brilliant and the check in / check out with Otto was perfect. He even went to the trouble of sending me something I stupidly left in the house! Brilliant guy. We will definately go back.
