OMG! Stunning Sea View Apartment in Middelkerke - REALLY Book Now! (Seriously, Though)
Okay, people. Let's talk real talk about vacations. You know, the ones that aren't just Instagram filters and perfectly posed smiles? The ones where you actually relax? Because I just spent a weekend at the OMG! Stunning Sea View Apartment in Middelkerke, Belgium, and, well… let’s just say my inner grumpy cat has officially given up its reign. This place is like a warm hug, a strong Belgian beer, and a breathtaking view all rolled into one. And I’m here to spill all the tea. (Or, in this case, the complimentary coffee – more on that later).
Let's start with the basics, because, let's face it, we all need them, especially when navigating the chaos of travel.
Accessibility & Basics: The Nuts and Bolts That Actually Matter
- Accessibility: While not explicitly boasting about full wheelchair accessibility (a bummer!), the elevator is a godsend. Seriously, hauling luggage is not my idea of a vacation. And there's a car park [free of charge]! Score! That's a huge win, especially in a coastal town where parking can be a nightmare. Although, I totally forgot about it because I walked everywhere - it's that close to everything.
- Internet: Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! - Hallelujah! This is non-negotiable in 2024, especially if you, like me, need to occasionally peek at work emails (shhh… don't tell my boss!). The Internet access – wireless was consistently reliable. And, for you tech-heads (or those needing a super-secure connection), they have Internet [LAN] options too. Very fancy, indeed!
- Cleanliness and Safety: The Good Stuff, and the Slightly… Imperfect Stuff
- Safety: Alright, let's be real. I'm a bit of a germaphobe (don't judge!). I was thrilled to see the Anti-viral cleaning products, Room sanitization opt-out available, and Rooms sanitized between stays. They really seemed to care, which eased my mind instantly. There were smoke alarms and fire extinguishers strategically placed. Comforting!
- And the Minor Misses: Okay, okay, I admit I wasn't entirely sure on the Hygiene certification. It would have been nice to see more transparency.
- Staff Training: The staff clearly understand safety protocols. They had Staff trained in safety protocol. Super important!
- Other Important Things: They have First aid kit, Hand sanitizer (everywhere!), CCTV in common areas, CCTV outside property, Check-in/out [express], Exterior corridor, Front desk [24-hour], Non-smoking rooms (thank god!), Safety/security feature, Security [24-hour], Smoke alarms, Soundproof rooms (essential for light sleepers like me!).
- Services and Conveniences: The Perks!
- Convenience: The contactless check-in/out was flawless. No awkward interactions, just grab your key and go!
- Helpful Stuff: Concierge service made me feel like a VIP. And the luggage storage was fantastic because I arrived way too early!
- Other Bonuses: Daily housekeeping (bliss!), Laundry service, Ironing service. They've thought of everything.
- Getting Around:
- Airport Transfer: I didn't need it, but knowing it's available is a plus.
- Car Stuff: Car park [on-site], Car park [free of charge] (as mentioned above!), Taxi service (easy access), and even a Car power charging station (for the eco-conscious!).
- For the Kids I did not have any, but there were Family/child friendly items.
My OMG! Moments: The Stuff that Makes You Say "Wow!"
- The View. The Bloody View. Seriously, "stunning" is an understatement. Waking up and seeing the sunrise painting the North Sea golden… Forget about it. I'd happily pay triple just for that alone. The Window that opens! Yes, finally, fresh air, not just stale hotel air.
- The Apartment Itself: It's not just the view. The place is beautifully decorated – modern, clean lines, and super comfy. I mean, the Sofa was practically calling my name every afternoon. The Seating area was perfect for reading. Oh and the Balcony/Terrace was big too!
- The Bathroom: The bathtub was deep, perfect for a soak after a day of exploring. And the Private bathroom. The Complimentary tea and Coffee/tea maker in the room? Winner! I think I used the Refrigerator way too many times.
- Food & Drinks: I am not the best foodie, I will admit BUT. I will say the best part was sitting at the Bar, with a freshly made cocktail. The Coffee shop had some of the best pastries I have ever had.
Quirks, Rambles & Honest Truths:
- The Soundproof Rooms: I thought this was kind of strange to mention, but my neighbor was noisy, so I thank you.
- Room Decorations: I thought the Room decorations were pretty tacky, but it was fine.
- Breakfast: I opted for the Breakfast [buffet] one day. It was a tad underwhelming. Good enough, but nothing to shout about. I would have liked a better Breakfast [buffet]. Not a disaster, just… meh. The Breakfast takeaway service is a smart move.
- The Spa: This is where it went from great to utterly glorious. The Spa/sauna and Steamroom were divine. I did not test the Pool with view or the Swimming pool [outdoor]. The Gym/fitness center looked pretty good. I did not try any thing like the Body scrub or Body wrap.

Escape to Paradise: Jade, Germany's Marschblick Modern Retreat Awaits
Alright, buckle up buttercups because we're about to unpack my attempt at a relaxing getaway to that Nice apartment with a sea-view in Middelkerke. The one with the promise of glorious Belgian coastal charm. Spoiler alert: it wasn’t all sunshine and frites.
Travel Itinerary – The Messy, Honest, and Occasionally Hilarious Version
Day 1: Arrival and the Great Luggage Debacle (or, When the Sea-View Got a Bit Blurry)
- 10:00 AM: Arrive at… well, try to. Brussels Airport. Jetlagged. Haggard. Armed with more optimism than common sense. Found the rental car, bless its plastic heart. Almost drove on the wrong side… twice. Considered abandoning the whole trip for the sake of my sanity.
- 12:30 PM: Lunch. Needed fuel. Managed to locate a roadside friterie. Ordered frites with… everything. May have accidentally inhaled half of them before remembering I needed to, you know, drive. Verdict: Belgian frites live up to the hype. Crispy, salty, glorious. My arteries were screaming, but my soul was singing.
- 2:00 PM: Arrive at the apartment. Key collection – smoother than expected. The building… well, let’s just say it has character. The lift sounded like a wheezing grandpa, but hey, it got me there.
- 2:15 PM: The Luggage Debacle. Tried to wrestle my suitcase – a monstrous, overpacked beast – through the ridiculously narrow hallway. Ended up trapped, wedged between the wall and a decorative (and apparently fragile) seashell display. Almost took out the entire thing. Swore. Repeatedly. Managed to free myself, the suitcase, and the mostly-intact seashells (phew!). First emotional reaction? Pure, unadulterated rage. Followed by the realization that this, THIS, was the beginning of the adventure.
- 2:30 PM: Unpacked, or tried. The sea view… It was magnificent. Truly. The apartment? Pretty cramped, but that view… Worth it. Definitely worth it.
- 3:30 PM: Sea exploration. Went for a walk down to the beach. The wind was brutal. My hair resembled a bird's nest. Took some photos. Felt a bit like a romantic heroine, except I was wearing a questionable raincoat and battling a rogue wave.
- 6:00 PM: Dinner. Attempted to make a carbonara. It was… a culinary disaster. Ended up with a greasy, over-salted mess. Ordered pizza. Pizza was mediocre, but at that point, I was too tired to care. Feeling: Mild disappointment, washed down with a large glass of wine.
- 8:00 PM: Collapsed on the sofa. Watched a terrible Belgian TV show (even with knowing the language, there are moments when you are lost). Felt strangely content, despite the culinary and luggage challenges.
Day 2: The Mussel Mania and the Great Sandcastle Crisis.
- 9:00 AM: Woke up. Sea view was gray and moody. Perfect. Coffee. Struggled to locate the coffee, eventually finding it buried under three layers of emergency snacks.
- 10:00 AM: Explored the town. Middelkerke is, let's be honest, a bit… quaint. Beaches crowded… but not in a New York City way, thank god. Found a bakery. Consumed several pastries. Felt a smidgen guilty. Ignored the guilt.
- 12:00 PM: Mussel Lunch! Went to a seaside restaurant. Ordered a mountain of moules-frites. They were glorious. Steaming, briny, perfect. Dipped everything in the sauce. Felt like a proper local. One of the chefs came by with an extra basket… "You liked them?" "I loved them!" I replied. I had never ever enjoyed anything as much.
- 2:00 PM: SAND CASTLE TIME! Took a walk on the beach. Decided to build a sandcastle. It started off promising. Managed a decent moat. Then… disaster struck. The tide came in. The sandcastle… crumbled. My emotional reaction: Utter, childish devastation.
- 3:00 PM: Recovered from Sandcastle Crisis. Bought an ice cream. Chocolate, extra sprinkles. Watched the waves. Felt a renewed sense of perspective. The ocean is beautiful, even if it is sandcastle demolisher.
- 5:00 PM: Attempted to book a massage. Failed. (apparently everything is closed on Tuesdays). Decided to give myself a spa day at home. (aka, took a long and hot bath).
- 7:00 PM: Dinner. More pizza. This time, at a different restaurant. Slightly better than the night before. Small victories.
- 9:00 PM: Walk on the beach at sunset. The sky was on fire. Felt incredibly peaceful. Maybe this relaxing getaway wasn't a complete failure, after all.
Day 3: The Art Museum and the Great Waffle Quest.
- 9:00 AM: Woke up. The sun was shining! Hallelujah! Coffee and bacon. (I'm on vacation, I'm gonna eat bacon)
- 10:00 AM: Visited a local art museum – modern art, lots of weird things I didn't understand. Took some photos of things I didn't understand but still felt an abstract connection to.
- 12:00 PM: THE WAFFLE QUEST. Spent an hour trying to find the perfect Belgian waffle. It's serious business, this waffle thing. Tried three different places. Ended up with a crispy, sugary masterpiece. Covered in whipped cream and chocolate sauce. Worth the search. Possibly one of the best things I've ever eaten.
- 2:00 PM: Walk along the promenade. People-watching. Observed a man attempting to fly a kite. It kept crashing. Felt strangely sympathetic.
- 4:00 PM: More beach time. Read a book. Actually relaxed. (shock horror!)
- 6:00 PM: Packed up the rest of my stuff. Prepared to leave. The apartment was now a mess of half-used toiletries, discarded clothes, and empty snack wrappers. Felt a sense of reluctant sadness.
- 7:00 PM: Dinner. A final meal of Belgian fries and mayo.
- 8:00 PM: Depart. Brussels airport. The drive was a blur of thoughts and memories.
- 11:00 PM: Arrive home. Realized the trip was about discovering a place, and a mess.
Final Thoughts:
Would I go back to Middelkerke? Maybe. The sea view was worth the price of admission, the frites were divine, and the waffles were life-changing. I came home well-fed, and a little bit sunburnt. And with a few extra pounds. But hey, that's what vacation is for, right? Overall Verdict: A messy, imperfect, but ultimately enjoyable coastal adventure. Would recommend. Go and get a waffle. Just do it.

OMG! Stunning Sea View Apartment in Middelkerke, Belgium - Seriously, Book Now (Seriously!) - FAQs (and My Brain Dump)
Is the sea view REALLY as stunning as you say it is, or are you just trying to sell me something?
Okay, alright... you caught me. I *am* trying to sell you something. But look, let's be honest. The sea view... it's... well, it's *chef's kiss*. Seriously. I've seen sunsets there that made me actually tear up a little (don't judge, I'm an emotional person). You’re talking about panoramic, wide-open, "Wow, the world is HUGE!" views. I stood there on the balcony with a coffee one morning, just watching the waves crash, and felt... at peace. Pure, unadulterated peace. It's not just a view; it's an *experience*. (Okay, maybe I *am* selling it a bit hard... But you’ll understand when you see it, I promise!) Plus, I once saw a seal! A REAL SEAL! That alone should be worth the price of admission.
What's the deal with parking? Is it a nightmare?
Parking… ah, the bane of any coastal vacationer's existence. The good news? There's usually parking *somewhere*. The not-so-good news? It might require a little patience and a willingness to walk a block or two, especially during peak season. I'm not going to lie; I once circled the block for a good twenty minutes, muttering under my breath because I was SO hungry and just wanted to get into the flat and eat the fries I specifically got for this reason. It's like a brutal, delicious test of your parking mettle. But hey, think of it as pre-dinner exercise! Plus, there's often paid parking options nearby, which, honestly, might be worth it to save your sanity. Just check the local regulations. And please, for the love of all that is holy, don't block anyone's driveway. I’ve seen things… (mostly angry Belgian locals).
Okay, but what about the actual *apartment*? Is it clean? Do I have to bring my own everything?
Clean? Yes! (I hope!) We're not running a pigsty here, people. Actually, it's cleaned *thoroughly* between guests. I'm a bit of a clean freak actually. I once spent three hours scrubbing the grout in the bathroom because a tiny speck of… *something*… had dared to exist there. So, yes, clean. And equipped? Well, you won't need to bring *everything*. You get your basic kitchen stuff – pots, pans, cutlery, the essential coffee maker (a MUST!). Bed linens and towels are provided. (Thank goodness!) And there's usually some basic supplies like soap and toilet paper. I mean, you'll probably still want to buy your own fancy shampoo and conditioner and maybe a bath bomb, because, hello, vacation! But the essentials are covered. Seriously, I've stayed in places where you had to bring your own toilet paper. That's just… uncivilized, I tell ya!
Is there Wi-Fi? Because, you know, I'm addicted to the internet.
Yes, there is Wi-Fi. Thank goodness! I mean, I get it. We're all tethered to our screens these days, right? It's included in the price so you can browse the internet, stream your favorite shows, and, let's be honest, post Instagram Stories of that killer sunset. I've tested the Wi-Fi myself. It's pretty decent... unless everyone in the building is also watching Netflix at the same time. Then, well, you might need a little patience. (Or, you know, go outside and *actually* enjoy the sea view. Crazy, I know!) If you *really* need to get work done (because who actually does that on vacation?), it's generally good enough. But don't expect super-fast speeds; you're in Belgium, not Silicon Valley!
What if I have questions or need help while I'm there?
I'm usually available by phone or email. I try to be as helpful as possible and get back to you quickly. But, let's be honest: I'm not glued to my phone 24/7! I have a life (a slightly chaotic one, but still a *life*). If it's a total emergency, I’ll be there fast! If, it's a minor problem don't be too surprised If I'm only half helpful, I will always try my best. I'm not perfect though, sometimes I get lost in a daydream with a waffle in hand.
Is Middelkerke a boring town, or what?
Boring? Absolutely NOT! Okay, maybe it's not *party-central* Ibiza. But Middelkerke has charm! It’s got a lovely beach (obviously), great restaurants, shops for retail therapy, and a casino. I’m not much of a gambler myself, but it can be fun. Personally, I love walking along the pier, soaking up the sea air and people-watching... it is a great way to pass the time. It's definitely a more relaxed vibe than some of the bigger, flashier resorts. And honestly? Sometimes that's exactly what you need. Plus, it's a great base for exploring the rest of the Belgian coast. Bruges is just a short train ride away! So, boring? No way! It's perfect for a chill, seaside escape.
What's the best thing about staying at YOUR apartment?
Okay, besides the obvious – the STUNNING SEA VIEW (I had to repeat it!) – it's the feeling of being *home*. Okay, maybe not *your* home, but a comfortable. Think of it as a little haven where you can escape, relax, and recharge. The apartment is a bit quirky (I've got some, um, *unique* décor choices, don’t laugh!), it's designed to make you feel relaxed. More than just a place to sleep, it’s a place to *live*. And that feeling of being right on the coast, being able to step onto the balcony with your morning coffee and just… breathe… that’s pretty special.
Are there any downsides? Be honest!
Alright, alright. Gotta be honest, right? The building is old. And, maybe the elevator is a bit… slow. (Like, really slow. Bring a book). The walls aren't soundproof. So, if your neighbors are having a loud party at 3 AM, you might hear it. And the weather in Belgium? Well, it can be… unpredictable. Expect wind, rain, and sunshine all in the same day. Pack layers!Low Price Hotel Blog
