Even weg in de donkere dagen binnen Nederland? A light and modern family house near the North Sea coast and flower fields

Our home town has 22.000 inhabitants and is close to many beautiful locations, like the North Sea (10km), the dunes and the flower bulb area in spring. Right in between old and vivid cities Haarlem and Leiden, with the possibility to visit Amsterdam or a short drive away at Schiphol AirPort (but no airplane noise)

Our home is spacious and well equipped for families with children. We love Scandinavia and the coastline with sea and dunes and combined that in our interior. There is a well equipped kitchen with double oven and big stove, and a table for 8. We have a typical Dutch view on the cows at the other side of the street, with quite often a very beautiful sky.

We have a master bedroom, 3 children’s bedrooms and a spare bedroom with double bed. In the bathroom a shower and bath. In the garden a trampoline and outside seating. There are beds, toys, boardgames, space and bikes for many.

About Our Family

We are a family with 3 daughters. We love to camp together, be creative, make something in the kitchen and spend time in and around the house. We are fond of board games, water in any form, family time and nature. Especially Scandinavia has our interest, the girls would love to see more of it since we visited Norway in 2019.

With our former house we already exchanged a few times, in 2022 we exchanged again. This created an appetite for more. The new ferry between Norway and the Netherlands opens new opportunities to travel more sustainable and feasible while visiting the countries we love most. We are not interested in southern countries, but are open for other requests for 5 days or more.

Lifestyle

We have a busy and creative life with our 3 girls. As a family, we all have our sports and music to practice and grow. We work mostly from home and school is around the corner. During the week each day brings something different, so we like to keep the weekend mainly for family visits and relaxation. We love a good Sunday morning breakfast with croissants and pyama time, as well as playing board games together. Our stove gives warmth on wintery days. Our little cat Minoes likes some food and a little attention, which we hope you arrange when you stay in our home.

We like the quiet neighbourhood atmosphere with trees in the lanes, the park and the playgrounds around us. Especially our beautiful view from our livingroom at the cows, birds and the always changing skies make us smile every day.
