  • 10/10

    Communication with the host was perfect, everything was clear and precise. The apartment is really pleasant: you feel at home straight away, so much that you don't feel like going out. Spotless, well located, parking nearby, 25 m from the beach. We were delighted with our stay and will be back.

Our favourite spot

Whitewashed façade of Majutte's fisherman's cottage, with café tables and string lights

Majutte

The oldest fisherman's cottage on the Belgian coast, now a charming little museum café. Step inside to see how fishing families once lived, then stay for a coffee and a local treat.
