Charming boathouse right on the waterfront

The boathouse was built in a traditional way in the 1970s and is located right by the water with a great view of the sea. Here you can start the day with your morning coffee at the window, take a refreshing bath, enjoy the sun on the dock, or just relax and watch the life on the sea. This is not a modern vacation home with luxury and high standards. The boathouse has a simple and practical interior, characterized by its age and history. In return, you get an authentic experience close to nature and marine life.
