The North Sea coast has a quiet pull to it in early summer - cool mornings, long evenings, and a pace that invites you to slow down. This two-bedroom apartment in Ostend puts you right in the middle of it, with the harbor a short stroll away, the train station close enough for easy day trips, and the beach 15 minutes on foot. Living space The open-plan living and dining area is designed around togetherness. A comfortable sofa, a dining table, and a well-considered layout make the shared spaces feel easy to settle into. When you want a quieter moment, the terrace overlooks the inner courtyard - a calm, sheltered spot away from street-level noise, ideal for a morning coffee or an evening wind-down. Sleeping arrangements Two bedrooms, each with a queen-size bed, sleep up to four guests comfortably. Room-darkening shades, extra pillows and blankets, and fresh bed linens are all provided, so you can rest on your own schedule. Hangers and clothing storage mean there is no need to live out of a suitcase. Kitchen & dining The fully equipped kitchen has everything needed to cook from scratch or keep things simple. A refrigerator, oven, stove, microwave, dishwasher, and hot water kettle are all available, alongside cooking basics, dishes, wine glasses, and a coffee maker with coffee provided. Whether you are putting together a full meal or just toasting bread before heading out, the kitchen handles it. Bathroom The full bathroom is stocked with shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, a hair dryer, and cleaning products. Hot water is reliable, and towels and soap are included. Families & practicalities The apartment is set up with young children in mind - children's books and toys are on hand, and the layout works well for families. A washer and dryer are available for longer stays. Self check-in via lockbox means arrival is flexible and uncomplicated. The building has an elevator, and a free parking space in the on-site garage is included - no need to search for street parking after a long drive. Location Ostend is one of Belgium's most accessible coastal towns, and this apartment sits at a convenient point within it. The train station and harbor are within easy walking distance, giving you direct routes along the coast or inland toward Bruges and Ghent. The city center, with its restaurants, shops, and seafront promenade, is close by. The beach is a 15-minute walk - far enough to feel like an outing, close enough to go twice in a day. .
