General overview
We live in a pretty village on the coast of the Netherlands and close to Rotterdam, and Delft, with the largest port of Europe. We live in a detached house with a large garden for Dutch standards (1300 m2). Our home is situated at a former dike and our house and garden are therefore sheltered. At the first rays of sun it’s already warm in a large part of our garden. In summer you can enjoy our summerhouse or relax on our outdoor furniture (including a double outdoor bed) and in our indoor pool. Or maybe you want to BBQ or go to the beaches? In winter you can sledge off the dike when snow has fallen. Even for us adults that’s a blast! Or sit in front off the fireplace with hot chocolate and a nice book or perhaps relax in the sauna.
The space
Our house has a living room, a dining room, a conservatory, kitchen, garage, 3 bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms, a sauna and a large garden with a garden house.
Guest access
Our masterbedroom and bathroom are downstairs. The other bedrooms are upstairs, just as the second toilet.

Neighbourhood
Our home is located in a very attractive part of the Netherlands. Close to the sea and many day-trip destinations on our doorstep. The village we live in is part of the island Voorne of the province South Holland. This region encompasses three islands (Islands of South Holland), each with an own character and each offering a wealth of possibilities.
Oostvoorne is a small and green village on the coast. It offers a splendid variety of nature and scenery, peace and quietness. The region houses one of the largest areas of nature in western Europe (beaches, dunes and woods). Oostvoorne has a lovely beach, often used for (kite)surfing, horseriding, kiting of just for a walk. The woods and dunes in our village are also attractive for recreation. The beach of our neighbouring village Rockanje is awarded with the Blue Flag and with an European award for green coastal municipalities. The dunes of Voorne extend as far as the eye can see and offer a large variety of flora and fauna. There all lots of sportive activities to do: hiking, mountain biking, horse riding, cycling, surfing or kite surfing and diving.

Miriam and Rob
My husband Rob (68) and I (Miriam: 57) love to explore other countries. Rob is a retired finance director and I have my own business. We share a few passions together, like exploring the world and learning about new countries and cultures, but we also have some hobbies for ourselves. Rob, for instance, is a huge music fan and has a collection of over 3500 cd's. I love snorkeling, discover the reefs and looking for shells.
We respect people and their property, so be sure we'll treat your home as it was our own.
