A nice summer house with a large garden!

In Friesland - contrary to what many people think - you can do more than just sail. But also hiking, canoeing, biking and shopping. The nature is beautiful. When you open the garden door, you will immediately hear the meadow birds.

This house has a large living room and garden with BBQ. The cozy Grou is close by, as is the beautiful Leeuwarden.

Close to the jetties where it is never crowded.

Price includes sheets, WiFi, tax, bicycles and 2 canoes! Bring your own towels!

The space
You have a whole, detached house available with its own garden in a park with many amenities. There is a private parking space on the driveway. The equipment is very complete, up to and including canoes, and a toaster ;-). Furthermore, we have a 43-inch smart TV and audio set with Bluetooth capability.
The house is well insulated and almost "energy neutral". There is an air conditioning unit that heats in winter. The bathroom has a wide bathtub.
We have good beds with sturdy mattresses, including in one room a "Swiss Sens" box spring double bed (can be pushed apart to 2 single beds).
The modern kitchen has an induction stove, versatile combi-oven and dishwasher. Of course, a toaster, mixer and even a waffle iron are not missing!

Guest access
The whole house is available, you can go and stand wherever you want! And, just like the garden, it's all just for you and your family. You can also use the jetty, which is public property, but where it is never crowded. At the jetty, you can easily get into the water to swim.

Other things to note
The property has no fence on the street and at 100 m distance is (cloudy and deep) open water. That requires attention if you have very small children.

Neighbourhood highlights

The house is on an island near the beautiful old village of Grou. It can be accessed through a bridge and two ferries.
Grou is the gateway to the beautiful National Park d’ Alde Feanen at Eernewoude that you can explore by canoe or motorboat.
Nearby is also the island of "De Burd"which you can reach with a ferry. See also some photos on this listing.

The Frisian "standing mast route" for sailboats that runs right next to the island is becoming increasingly known.

The island is ecologically managed. The organic weed control is in line with the natural values around us. Together with the Water Board and the house oven of the park, a project has been started with a custom planting. Through “Wadden Island” planting, with wild crops that naturally occur in the low bog areas, there is a special holiday atmosphere.
