2. Beach front paradise in Denmark - Strandgårds Vænge, Dronningmølle, (Capital Region of Denmark).
- A unique place for peace of mind…
This little summerhouse is strikingly beautiful, situated directly at the sea in the small secluded village called Munkerup just outside the fashionable Hornbæk (one hour from centre of Copenhagen). The old fisherman style house with thatched roof has been respectfully restored with high quality materials and accordingly tastefully decorated in suiting Danish simplicity. It is surrounded by a garden granting a high level of privacy. The summerhouse is situated high above the sea on top of a slope of wild roses leading directly (by the steep staircase) down to the private beach.
The lower beach is sandy and very good for kids because of the shallow water.
The house is 100 m2 in two floors. The first floor contains a master bedroom with a double bed and additionally two small bedrooms – one with a double bed, the other with twin beds. The master bedroom and the room with a double bed are both with a balcony, which invites you for a breathtaking view of the sea and the Swedish coastline.
The ground floor has a spacious living-dining room combined with a cosy wood burner. From here you also enjoy the stunning view over the ocean. There are two double terrace doors – one facing the sea, the other facing the eastern terrace. The little, but well furnished kitchen faces the ocean, and contains fridge, freezer, dish washer, stove w. Induction hob, microwave and normally used kitchen appliances. The romantic and quite big bathroom is well arranged with a shower, washbasin, and cabinets for towels, washing machine/dryer and a towel heater. Also plenty of space for changing babies, if needed.
The toilet is next to the bathroom in a separate room.
There is a little annex next to the house with one big bed and a small desk. (Only for used during summer as it is without heating and electricity).
