I was very happy with my apartment in Zandvoort. After driving around the Netherlands for five days, Zandvoort was a welcomed slower pace town. The apartment was located on a quiet street, friendly neighbors walking their dogs, and a short walk from the beautiful beach. The hosts, Renee and Ester were delightful people who were available to answer any questions. Check-in was easy as Renee met me outside and showed me where everything was in the room. They also provided me with a parking pass for my stay and gifted me with a can of Stroopwaffles...YUM. The apartment is up a couple flights of winding stairs but not a bad climb...pack light! I would recommend the Beach House apartment for its' great location. If you have a car it is an easy drive to Leiden, Gouda, Den Hague, Haarlem and Alkmaar. Take the train to Amsterdam...driving is nuts there! Back in Zandvoort, as with many towns in the Netherlands, the heart of the town is hidden. Park, and walk down the side street to find great shoppes, restaurants, and of course bakeries. Be sure to walk to the beach for the sunset...it is a community event where people are friendly and the view is beautiful. I'd say, if you aren't the hotel type of traveler, this beach house apartment is a wonderful HOME AWAY.
