Last weekend we decided to play tourist again in our own coastal town. A thermos of tea, our hiking boots on, the best croissants in West Flanders, and… smartphones in hand. Because we'd discovered something new: the free app… Read more
Private landlords Anke & Hans
Enjoy our personal rental
Private landlords Anke & Hans have been renting out holiday apartments in Ostend since 2013. Their customers appreciate their personal service, warm contacts and good care to make the holidays run smoothly. Anke has been renting out her apartment on the sixth floor of a recently renovated building on the Zeedijk in Ostend since 2013. Since 2018, Hans has also offered his loft on the 5th floor of the same Zeedijk for holiday rental.
Landlord Anke: "One day I will wake up with a view of the sea", I predicted
As a child, I didn't particularly like the sand between my toes. But when I was 22 and I walked on the beach in Ostend, I knew for sure: one day I would not only walk on the beach, but also look at it from my lazy chair and keep looking. I can still hear myself saying: "Later, when I wake up here in the weekend with a view of the sea, then...", not the slightest hesitation, not even a "maybe". In retrospect, quite a bold statement for a student whose house-garden-child-tree-life had yet to begin. "One day dreams will come true, as long as you believe in them", I sang along with Kinderen voor Kinderen over and over again as a child. Maybe I owe it to the fact that I believed in it so much, because in 100 I became the owner of the apartment. Since then, I do indeed regularly wake up at the weekend with a view of the sea.
Correct lady of the house Anke, friendly and grateful. The bubbles were a warm welcome. Me and my granddaughter had a super leave. Thank you Anke for everything. "

Landlord Hans: "Fantastic to dive into the waves every day"
"Do you love the sea or the mountains more?" I never really knew what to answer when people asked me that question. As a child, I went hiking in the mountains with my parents, holiday after holiday. Even after that, I kept seeking out the vastness of the mountains. I loved the mountain tops. Their beauty and power. But the sea also attracted me. I enjoyed days in and around the water. When I met Anke in Ostend, I immediately fell in love. With Anke and with the sea. The sea: its vastness, its beauty, its power. Just like the mountains, but close by. In addition to our passion for each other, Anke and I have also shared a passion for the sea ever since. As the icing (or is it passion fruit?) on the cake, I became the owner of the Loft, with a view of the most wonderful swimming pool in the world. Those who walk by regularly see me diving into the waves. Fantastic right!
