Interior
This small holiday home with room for 4 people is a cosy, older house at beautiful Mårup Øster­strand in the northern part of Samsø. The yellow house is ideal for an intimate summer cottage, where outdoor life and cosiness is central for your stay. When you arrive at the house, there is a nice wooden terrace with entrance to the kitchen and the small hallway, from where you can access the bedrooms, bathroom and kitchen. A washing machine and tumble dryer are in the hallway cupboard.

In the kitchen there is a cosy dining area with bench and chairs. There is plenty of space for preparing the meals of the day and eve­ryt­hing you need for cooking on your holiday is provided such as oven, dis­hwas­her and coffee machine. It is not as new, but it is bright and fun­ctio­nal. From the kitchen there is an open con­nection to the living room, which is furnished with good sofas and armchairs. There is space for everyone to relax and enjoy them­sel­ves together. In the colder months it is perfect to light up the central wood stove. If you want to turn on the TV, there is a selection of Danish- and Viasat TV-channels. From the living room there is also access to a covered terrace and good views of the large and green garden.

The house has two nice bedrooms, one with a good double bed, closet space and TV. The other room is perfect for the kids with a double bunk and cot, and here is room to play. There is of course also a nice and bright bathroom with shower next to the bedrooms.

In addition to the wood-burning stove in the living room, the house is heated by a heat pump and electric radiators.

In the garden is an annex with an extra double bed and space for two overnight guests. The annex is mainly for summer use, as it is unheated and without electri­ci­ty.

Outdoor
The large, enclosed garden to the west has plenty of space for ball games and play in the sandpit or on the swings. The garden is enclosed by shrubs and trees, so it is possible to be com­ple­te­ly in peace and relax or light up the fireplace in the garden. The house has two terraces, one of which has access from the kitchen, so it is perfect to enjoy breakfast here.

The other terrace is connected to the living room and half covered. On the spacious terrace there are several garden furniture, and it is possible to sit both in the shade and enjoy the sunshine here. There is also a barbecue, so when the weather allows you to, meals can be prepared and enjoyed on the terrace.

At the house there is ample parking, so you can walk the short way to the beach, which is only 350 meters from the house.

Location
The northern part of Samsø is a popular desti­na­tion for tourists. Here are some of the island's best beaches and mag­ni­fi­cent, protected landsca­pes - including Nordby Bakker and Issehoved. Look forward to many great walks here, as it is always a new ex­pe­ri­en­ce to walk in the beautiful landsca­pes, whether it is summer, winter or spring.

The well-preserved village of Nordby has cafés, eateries and an idyllic street sur­ro­un­ded by half-timbered houses. Opposite the charming bell tower in the middle of Nordby, is the old school, which today serves as the local library and tourist in­for­ma­tion centre. Nordby is also home to the world's largest maze! There are hours of fun with quizzes along the way to help you find the middle of the maze - and out again.

About 1.5 km from the house is Mårup Brugs, a grocery store where you can do your shopping or rent a bike all year round. In Mårup there is also a small harbour on the west side of the island. Here you will find a nicely situated re­stau­rant and the po­s­si­bi­li­ty for lovely walks.

From Mårup Øster­strand it is about 15 ki­lo­metres to the largest town Tra­neb­jerg, which is located on the south island. Here there are good op­portu­ni­ties for shopping and a café visit. Distances are short on Samsø, so you can easily make an excursion by bike to the charming villages located a few ki­lo­metres away. For example, visit a specialty shop or gallery in Per­me­lil­le, or discover the beau­ti­ful­ly situated old ferry port in Kolby Kås.

Ballen has a lively and pleasant maritime life in the summer, and the harbour town is home to a wide selection of re­stau­rants and some of the island's best beaches. Samsø Nature School and the area around Stavns Fjord also always offer ad­ven­tu­res in the beautiful co­un­trysi­de for children and adults.
