Well-appointed wooden house in the front row - 10 metres from the sandy beach

Fall asleep to the sound of lapping waves, wake up with a view of Hejls­min­de Bay and go straight from the bedroom to the jetty for your first dip of the day. The small wooden house is located in the first row, only separated from the fine sandy beach by a closed, private gravel road, and is the perfect starting point for both re­laxa­tion and active holidays with water sports, walks in the scenic area and ex­pe­ri­en­ces in the neig­h­bouring towns of Chri­sti­ans­feld, Kolding and Haderslev.

Welcome inside

The architect-designed beach house is bright and ta­ste­ful­ly decorated in a simple Nordic style with wooden floors, a cosy wood-burning stove and high ceilings. The large southeast-facing windows facing the water provide a unique light in the spacious kitchen/living room and offer unin­ter­rup­ted panoramic views across the Little Belt towards the islands of Funen, Brandsø and Bogø. The two bedrooms are equipped with double beds (140x200 cm) and the living room has an extra sofa bed. Large wardrobe in one of the bedrooms. Both the living room and both bedrooms have glass doors leading directly to the outdoors.

Enjoy life outside

Morning coffee can often be enjoyed at the small café table on the wooden terrace in front of the house, while the large, partially covered view terrace facing south-west with several garden tables invites you to enjoy meals together. The house is pea­ce­ful­ly sheltered below the cliff, and the barbecue, parasols, sun loungers and sheltered cosy corners add to the outdoor po­s­si­bi­li­ties. Hejls­min­de Bay is a popular sailing paradise with perfect con­di­tions for windsur­fing, kayaking and pad­dle­bo­ar­ding, a sit-on-top kayak and an older sea kayak are available for guests (at their own risk). Children in par­ti­cu­lar will ap­pre­ci­a­te the fine sandy beach and public jetty in front of the house, and after a beach trip, salt water and sand can be rinsed off under the outdoor shower.

Get close to local ex­pe­ri­en­ces

A larger, shallow beach with a summer kiosk and a cosy harbour is within walking distance. There are several re­stau­rants along the seafront (depending on the season). There is also the lovely old Hejls­min­de Badehotel with a small water park. Great nature ex­pe­ri­en­ces can be had by following the nature trail that leads all the way around the bird sanctuary Hejls­min­de Nor - or simply by taking a walk along the beach. Daily ne­ces­si­ties can be bought in Hejls, while the cosy market towns of Kolding and Haderslev offer both shopping and cultural ex­pe­ri­en­ces, including the castle museum Kol­ding­hus. A very special ex­pe­ri­en­ce is the Herrnhut town of Chri­sti­ans­feld, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the history and bre­ath­taking views make Skam­lings­ban­ken an ideal excursion desti­na­tion.

Important in­for­ma­tion

Ved Kysten is the address for just nine beach houses and the private gravel road can only be used for loading and unloading, so the view is never spoilt by parked cars. There is a private, marked parking space about 100 metres away near the stairs behind the house (possibly a little further away in winter). Microwave, vacuum cleaner and high chair are in the annex; there are also various outdoor games and beach stuff for children. The house is insulated all year round, but in winter the outdoor shower is closed and the public bathing jetty is taken inside.
