First Impressions (and the Elevator Saga)
Alright, so 6th floor, eh? That usually means views, right? Yep, the promise of "Luxury Awaits" started to feel real when that elevator finally coughed me up on the top floor.

The Middelkerke Manifesto: A Week of Sand, Sea, and Suspicious Frites
Day 1: Arrival & Apartment Anxiety (Plus, a Pigeon Conspiracy?)
- 14:00: Brussels Airport Debacle: "EasyJet," they said. "Budget-friendly," they swore. "On time," they… well, they lied. Landed two hours late, smelling faintly of jet fuel and regret. Finding a train to Ostend felt like navigating the goddamn labyrinth of Knossos. I swear, the train announcements were in Flemish, a language that sounds like someone gargling gravel.
- 16:30: Ostend Station… the Beginning of My Fries-Induced Descent into Madness?: Finally, Ostend! Breathe, deep breath. The sea air is surprisingly… bracing. The wind is also trying to rip my face off. Taxi to Middelkerke - another adventure in itself. The driver seemed convinced I was going to steal his radio.
- 17:00: The Apartment… Revelation or Ruin??: Arrived. 6th floor. And… okay. The view is there. Mostly. It’s a panoramic view of… the North Sea. And the rooftops. And the… wait. Are those… pigeons… staring at me? They're like fluffy little feathered mafiosos plotting my demise. They're definitely judging my questionable packing choices.
- 18:00: Supermarket Sweep!: Armed with a wonky shopping cart and a phrase book full of phonetic atrocities, I hit the local supermarket. I desperately need coffee. Bread. Cheese. Chocolate. The essentials. The checkout lady, bless her heart, looked like she'd seen a zombie apocalypse. I think I managed to buy… something resembling food.
- 19:00: Sunset & Semi-Disaster, First meal attempt: The sunset? Spectacular. The first meal attempt? Less so. I managed to burn the bread and the cheese is… well, it's Belgian cheese. A bit pungent. But the view! The damn pigeons are still there, though. Watching. Judging. I'm starting to think they're collecting intel.
Day 2: Beach Bliss & Beer-Fueled Revelations
- 09:00: Beach Reconnaissance: Today, I Conquer the Beach! After getting a decent sleep (the seagull fight outside my window only lasted an hour), I'm ready for the sand. The wind, however, is not ready for me. Nearly blew my sunhat into the sea. Found a semi-protected spot.
- 10:00: Sun, Sand, and the Eternal Struggle: Reading a trashy novel (the literary equivalent of a guilty pleasure.) Feeling good… until, splash! A rogue wave and the sun chair got soaked. Now, I'm drying out whilst watching the ocean. And the pigeons. They haven't moved.
- 12:00: Seaside Frites Expedition: THE Frites. The reason I'm even here, let's be honest. Found a frietkot (fry stand). The man behind the counter, a grizzled veteran of the potato war, barely grunted a greeting. The frites, however… golden, crispy, perfect. Now that's a religious experience. They came with a side of mayonnaise (of course). I thought I'd ascended into a new plane of existence.
- 14:00: Brewery Pilgrimage: Because I'm here in Belgium, and because… well, beer. Found a local brewery. This place was amazing! The atmosphere was pure Belgium. The bartender, a delightful, ruddy-faced chap, guided me through a selection of Belgian ales. The Duvel was my go-to, it's nectar of the gods!
- 18:00: Sunset Again… and a Pigeon Stand-Off!: Back to the apartment. The sunset, the same as yesterday, only better because I had a beer buzz. And the pigeons? They're… closer. I swear, they're plotting something. I’m pretty sure they stole my remote last night.
Day 3: Culture Clash & Culinary Chaos
- 10:00: Day Trip to Bruges?: Okay, okay, my inner tourist is trying to escape. I’m thinking day trip to Bruges. The canals, the chocolate. The… hordes of tourists. I prepare myself for the beautiful, the crowded, and the very, very Instagrammable.
- 12:00: Bruges: Canal Dreams & Chocolate Coma: Bruges is stunning, alright? It’s like a fairytale. Also, extremely crowded. The boat tour was cute, but I had a bit of a claustrophobic moment on the bridge. The shops, ah, those shops! Chocolate everywhere. I left with more chocolate than I care to admit and a slightly dizzy feeling.
- 15:00: Back to Middelkerke - Frites Redemption: I needed an escape from the manicured perfection of Bruges. Frites. Always the answer.
- 16:00: The Frites Conspiracy Theory Gains Traction: I may be going mad, but I swear I'm seeing a pigeon watching me, not from outside my window, but in the frietkot. Coincidence? I think not.
- 18:00: Pasta Night… Or, the Pasta Incident: Back at the apartment. I attempt to cook a simple pasta. The water boiled over. The sauce tasted like salty despair. The pigeons outside are having a field day, probably mocking my lack of culinary skills. I give up. More frites, here i come.
Day 4: Coastal Drifting & Existential Seagull Contemplation
- 10:00: Coastal Walk of Sighs: Today, I'm going for a long walk. The wind is a constant, challenging companion. The beach is vast. The sea… well, it’s wet. I walk, and I ponder.
- 12:00: Seagull Serenade: I stopped to watch the seagulls. They are majestic, irritating, and probably judging me. One landed right in front of me. We shared a moment of mutual scrutiny. I'm pretty sure it was mocking my existential crisis.
- 14:00: The Great Belgian Waffle Crisis: Found a waffle cart! A legitimate, fluffy, sugary Belgian waffle. Drowned it in chocolate and whipped cream. Pure bliss. It did, however, lead to a sugar crash of epic proportions.
- 16:00: Back to the Apartment… The Pigeon Situation Escalates!: The pigeons. They are taunting me. They’re pecking at the window. I swear I saw one wearing a tiny monocle. I might need therapy.
- 18:00: Another sunset and a beer. Feeling nostalgic and reflective. The beauty of this place is truly one-of-a-kind
Day 5: Spa Day and Sandcastle Dreams
- 10:00: Spa day at a local spa… I don’t even know what to expect. I was feeling a bit battered and bruised from the week. I needed a good spa day to relax.
- 14:00: Back in Middelkerke, A Sandcastle Struggle: Sandcastle. I had to make one, you know? I got serious. I found the best, most pristine sand, and I began my building. The sea, however, wouldn't listen to me. Waves kept trying to eat it!
- 16:00: Pigeons vs. Me: The Final Confrontation: they're back in the apartment. There are too many of them.
- 18:00: Dinner At A Restaurant. The real stuff. No burning for anyone. It was a good sign. I had a delicious meal. The night was truly perfect.
Day 6: Cleaning Day and Last Minute Shopping
- 10:00: Attempting To Clean the Apartment: I swear, the dust bunnies are having parties while I sleep. I need to clean the apartment. It's the first time I have really been with the apartment and felt like I had to be mindful.
- 12:00: Last Minute Shopping: Buying souvenirs. A few gifts for my friends. And most importantly, MORE CHOCOLATE!
- 14:00: Final Fries: Because, duh.
- 16:00: Last Moment with Pigeons: I watched the sunset again, I saw the pigeons once more.
- 19:00: Final Dinner.
Day 7: Departure & Delayed Flight (Pigeon Legacy?)
- 09:00: Farewell, Middelkerke… (and Possibly the Pigeons?): Time to pack up. Time to leave. I almost miss the wind, the sea. I think I might actually miss the pigeons
Middelkerke Dream Apartment: 6th Floor Luxury Awaits! ...Or Does It? (My Unedited Ramblings)
Okay, Seriously, Is This Apartment REALLY "Luxury"? I've Been Burned Before.
Alright, let's be real. "Luxury" is a slippery fish, isn't it? I went in expecting something out of a glossy magazine – pristine white couches, a robot butler, the works. And… well, let's just say it's *aspirational* luxury. The view? Absolutely stunning. Seascapes for days. You can practically smell the salt air, which is fantastic until the wind picks up and you realize you're essentially living in a giant, gorgeous wind tunnel. Trying to open the balcony doors on a breezy day? Forget about it, unless you're built like a linebacker.
The furniture is… nice. Modern. Maybe a *little* too much chrome for my taste, and I swear the cushions on the sofa are secretly made of concrete. After a few hours of binge-watching, my lower back feels like I've been sparring with a particularly grumpy badger. But hey, the chandelier is impressive, so swings and roundabouts, I suppose.
What's the Deal with the Views? Is It Actually Worth Being on the 6th Floor? (I'm Afraid of Heights...)
Okay, deal with the views: Yes. Absolutely, unequivocally yes. Even if you're terrified of heights, pop some Dramamine, grab a glass of wine, and just... look. The sunsets are to die for. Seriously, pictures don't do it justice. One evening, I saw the sky painted this insane orange and purple, and for a hot minute, I actually forgot about the fact that I had to navigate the creaky, slightly unnerving elevator to get back down.
Now, about the elevator... that's a whole other story. It's like a time capsule from the 70s. Rumbling, groaning, and occasionally stopping mid-journey for a little 'chat' with the mechanics. You'll get used to it, or you'll become a permanent resident on the 6th floor. I'm half convinced it uses hamster wheels as the energy source. Honestly, the stairs might be faster if you’re reasonably fit and not laden with groceries – which I usually am.
Is the Kitchen Well-Equipped? I Like to Cook... and I'm a Slob.
The kitchen… Ah, the kitchen. It *looks* fantastic: sleek, modern, stainless steel everything. (Stainless steel: the bane of my existence, by the way. Fingerprints! *Everywhere*!). The equipment is, for the most part, pretty good. You've got your oven, your hob, that thingy that boils water instantly (life-changing, I swear). Plenty of storage... for tidy people. For me? Well, let's just say I've mastered the art of a 'controlled mess.'
There's a dishwasher, which is a godsend, unless you're me, in which case, it becomes a second-hand-storage unit. The actual cooking experience is fine, but the lack of a decent spatula? That was a dark day. I ended up using a wooden spoon and burning half my dinner. Moral of the story? Pack your own spatula. Also, don’t expect to find a fully stocked spice rack – you'll need to bring your own culinary magic. I learned that the hard way, craving a simple curry.
Tell me about the Wi-Fi. Because, let's be honest, I need it to survive.
The Wi-Fi. Oh, the Wi-Fi. It's… there. Sometimes. It's like a shy little creature; it pops its head up when you least expect it, then disappears when you need it most. Streaming a movie in the evening? Prepare for buffering. Trying to work? Forget about it. I actually ended up tethering my phone, which, ironically, had a better signal.
One night, during a particularly torrential downpour (because, Belgium), the Wi-Fi completely died. I’m talking, full-on, apocalypse-level outage. I was stranded, alone, on the 6th floor with nothing but a book, my thoughts, and the persistent sound of the sea. It was… strangely peaceful. But also, utterly maddening. Bring a good data plan. Trust me.
Are There Any Good Restaurants Nearby? I'm Lazy After a Day at the Beach.
Restaurants? Yes, thankfully! There are loads. Middelkerke has a vibrant culinary scene. You can easily find everything from cozy brasseries serving classic Belgian fare to swanky seafood restaurants. The location of the apartment is pretty central. You're not exactly tripping over Michelin stars, but you're also not going to starve.
My best piece of advice? Stroll the promenade and let your stomach guide you. You'll find something delicious eventually. I stumbled upon this tiny little place off the main drag that served the most incredible moules frites. I'm not even a huge fan of mussels, and I'm still dreaming about them. It was pure, unadulterated bliss after a day of trying (and failing) to build a decent sandcastle.
What's The Deal With The Bedding? Is It Comfortable? (I'm a Princess, Okay?)
Alright, the bedding. This is where things get… mixed. The bed itself is a decent size, certainly big enough for two. But the mattress? It's… firm. Let's just say if you're used to a cloud-like mattress, you might need some time to adjust. I, unfortunately, am a princess (fine, fine, maybe a duchess at best), and I missed my memory foam.
The sheets, however? Glorious. Crisp, clean, and the kind of quality that makes you want to leap into bed and never leave. I spent a good portion of my first morning just luxuriating in the sheets. Seriously, I almost missed a whole day of exploring. Bedding is a huge win, the mattress a minor hiccup. If you're a light sleeper, pack earplugs. The sea is a loud neighbor, especially during the occasional storm (which, again, Belgium...). I'm still not sure if I could sleep through a hurricane, though.
Anything Else I Should Know? Any Hidden Quirks?
Quirks? Oh, there are quirks. Embrace the quirks! Firstly, the blinds in the living room are a mystery. I spent a solid hour trying to figure out how they worked. (Turns out, it was a combination of brute force and sheer luck). Secondly, the soundproofing… well, it’s not *completely* soundproof. You can hear the seagulls, the wind, and occasionally, the enthusiastic karaoke from the bar downstairs.
And finally - and this is important - pack plenty of converter adapters. Because Europe. Also, prepare for a few logistical challenges. Not all is perfection. My advice: bring snacks. Lots of snacks. You’ll thank me later. And maybe a sense of humor. You will definitely need that. The apartment,Digital Nomad Hotels
