A mediocre Dutch vacation home

 

In order to have "best" Dutch vacation homes, it is also necessary to have leisure dwellings that are merely ok. And this is one of those. This Naarden single bedroom is fine by most standards. If it was in Belgium, it would probably be considered one of the very best, but as we have learned, in the Netherlands, there is stiff competition for such accolades. So in what ways is this Dutch vacation home passable? Let's start with the pull out double sofa, which while not the most comfortable bed one might encounter, could easily accommodate two small humans for up to three nights, after which they would be able to rotate into the more traditional non-couch embedded bed in the bedroom. There is a microwave with a dedicated pizza function, a walk in shower with VERY hot water available and an arm chair, which can be reclined if pulled into the centre of the living room, thereby precluding any other possible seating in that area.

A charming "casa" in Roermond

Choosing a home-away-from-home for your special vacation is never easy. There is so much to think about! Let's make it easy, ok? This charming "casa" (if you will) features double door locks, security cameras, a state-of-the-art alarm system, shatterproof glass and a decorative, retractable chimney. There is a roof-mounted TV antenna for accessing regional entertainment programming as well as a recently remodelled kitchen kitted out with enough cutlery for up to 10 total meal participants.

Pro tip: bookings for 6 weeks or longer will enter you into a raffle held by the Roermond Business Association whose pri...

A Dutch vacation home... in Belgium??!?!!

Image
OK, this is simply too much! How can one of the best Dutch vacation homes be physically located outside of Netherland borders? Surely someone is making a very bad joke here! Well, let's be careful. When the foundation of this lovingly-restored 3-bedroom getaway cottage was originally laid, the town of Maldegem, where the house stands, was actually a part of The Netherlands. So you see, without undermining the rightful sovereignty of the Kingdom of Belgium, we can, in a sense, consider this Belgian vacation home Dutch after all! And unlike most other Dutch vacation homes, this one provides you with a convenient base in the heart of East Flanders, from where you can explore the magnificent hamlets of Donk and Klein with ease. The house is well-equipped with 2 chimneys and at least 6 windows.
