This harbour town in the southwestern region of the Netherlands is a popular holiday resort for its historic lighthouse and the marine Visserij Museum, which shows the hard life of fishermen through the ages. Breskens may be small, but we’re sure that you will find something to entertain yourself and your guests for a few days’ holiday. If that’s not enough to entice you, then you could always just while away your time on the beach. Bearing this in mind, we’ve found the ten best Airbnb vacation rentals near the sea.
1. Apartment with sea view (from USD 149)
This ground floor apartment with a balcony has a beautiful view of the North Sea; you can even hear the seals from the water’s edge. This double bedroom has two single beds and an en-suite. There is kitchen access for guests to use with everything you could need to make yourself at home. One of our favourite features is the large L-shaped corner sofa in the living room, which is open plan to the dining area and kitchen. Stepping out of the living room to the garden and you’ll land your feet on the wooden patio, the perfect place to enjoy a glass of wine after a busy day.

8. Private loft conversion
This is a loft conversion room with an en-suite bathroom and access to a fairly new kitchen in the lower section of the house. The host lives in the house and so will be present during most evenings, but you are still welcome to use the common space living area to relax and unwind in before retiring to your own room. It is worth noting that at the time of publishing, some of the rooms are still being renovated so it is worthwhile talking directly to the host to ensure that you are renting exactly what you expect in the property. There is also full Wi-Fi throughout the property and parking on-site, although you probably wont need a car much as the location is excellent: just 100 meters (328 ft) from the beach and 50 meters (164 ft) from shopping amenities.

9. Unique house near beach
This stylish house is just five minutes’ walk from the beach and has plenty of space to host up to six guests with three double bedrooms. This property is unique in both the layout and design features. We adore the small steps from the hallway to the kitchen, with its Portuguese-style tiling. The property itself is very narrow, but one of our favourite features has to be the driftwood-style dining table which sits in perfect contrast to the bright red wooden ceiling beams. Whilst the dining room has a cosy, hued feeling, the living room is bright with white-washed wooden furnishings.

10. Cozy vacation rental near the sea
Another fantastic location is this spacious property just 10 minutes’ walk to the beach. That means you can basically roll out of bed and into the sea for a morning swim! The rental is on a quiet residential street, with a small garden area and a ‘cottagey’ feel interior design. We adore the bright blue paint used to to decorate the internal features of this vacation rental… it really makes you feel like you are on holiday!
