We arrived in Zeeland and went to meet our friends who own a couple of seaside holiday rental homes in a purpose built resort run very professionally by a company called Roompot who apparently run several such resorts catering to family holiday makers. You can buy a chalet here and use it as much or as little as you like, and leave renting, cleaning and overall management to Roompot.
Despite the fact that it was winter, hardly seaside weather, and a couple of weeks before Christmas, the place was not deserted, although I suspect that a lot of the occupants were owners, like our friends, taking advantage of a less popular rental period to enjoy a quiet weekend away from the big city.
The Chalets themselves are certainly well designed and comfortably accommodate up to eight people in four bedrooms, and are fitted with all the necessary amenities. Sadly, however, there are no phones (use your cell) and no internet access :(
