Komfortable Ferienwohnung für 3 Personen

10/10 Excellent
"Es ist eine süße, kleine Wohnung, mit allem, was man braucht. Sehr sauber und mit schöner, dezenter Deko versehen. Den Balkon haben wir nicht mehr genutzt, aber Tisch und Stühle waren vorhanden, ebenso Stuhlauflagen.Eine Ablage im Bad über dem Waschbecken wäre noch schön, aber das ist meckern auf hohem Niveau, da man es so gewohnt ist.Direkt am Deich gelegen, kann man direkt zum Spaziergang starten. Man ist schnell am Hafen und auch der Weg zum Einkaufen ist gut zu Fuß machbar. Alles in allem ein gelungener Urlaub."

"Die Unterkunft hatte alles was man für einen schönen Urlaub benötigt. Die Betten waren bequem und sauber, in der Küche war alles vorhanden was man üblicherweise benötigt. Und für einen gemütlichen Tagesausklang war eine bequeme Couch mit Fernseher vorhanden. Und für die üblichen Getränke waren genügend Gläser zufinden. Es ist keine Luxusherberge, die hatte ich auch nicht gesucht und auch nicht erwartet! Rundum ein schöner Kurzurlaub."

"Das Haus ist super ausgestattet und ist sehr schön, gemütlich und liebevoll eingerichtet. Die Terrasse lädt zum draußen sitzen ein und der kleine Garten ist wunderschön angelegt. Die Fotos geben es gar nicht so schön wider. Alles, was man braucht, steht zur Verfügung. Nach Greetsiel Zentrum, Bäcker und Lebensmittel läuft man ca 10-15 Minuten, zum Deich 5 Minuten. Die Kommunikation und das einchecken verliefen problemlos. Greetsiel ist ein wundervoller Ort mit schönen Geschäften, leckerer Gastronomie, einem kleinen Schwimmbad. Ideal auch für Ausflüge nach Norden/Norddeich, Leer, Aurich, Emden etc. Wir können das Ferienhaus sehr empfehlen und kommen sicher auch nochmal her."
