Perched along the sand dunes off the Belgium coast, this breathable apartment is the perfect spot to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Find a pocket of peace and quiet upon Bredene beach, under a five-minute wander from your cosy new home. There's a host of restaurants, cafés and bakeries nearby too, so you won't need to venture too far from the tranquillity of the seaside. Alternatively, those looking to explore will find the bustling city of Brugge only a thirty-minute drive away – here, you'll discover pretty canals, cobbled streets and medieval buildings filled with authentic beer-houses and family-run eateries. When – full of sweet local beer or weary from swimming in the sea – you do return home, you'll find a light and airy space to relax. Come evening, curl up around the Scandinavian wood stove with a good book or come together for a meal in the sleek dining area, benefitting from light wood flooring, soft blue tones and an overall Scandi-minimalist design. Fresh and functional – this home makes for a calming retreat inside and out.
