Consistently Great

We have stayed in the homes of Dieter and Heidi several times and it never ever disappoints. The hosts are always super helpful and very easy to communicate with. And as for the house, its 5*. We stayed in this particular one a few years ago, not long after a refurb and in the tine since then the property has improved further. Wonderfully located on the lagoon, it offers easy access to the lake, the Atlantic beaches, the ferry, the island grocery store and park and more. Its definitely one of the very best houses on the island. The house is clean, comfortable and finished to a very high standard. And nothing beats dinner with the wonderful sunsets on the patio. A wonderful property we’ll come back to again and again, hosted by amazing people.

High spec cottage on rustic island

We have stayed on Armona many times now, always in different cottages and this one must be the highest spec on the Island. Underfloor heating in bathrooms, en-suite bathroom to the master bedroom, top quality fixtures and finishing touches. My wife and two children were very comfortable here and of course it has views that are out of this world. Dieter and Heidi are great hosts and a pleasure to deal with and very accommodating. The house is positioned on the lagoon which has the tide coming in twice daily. When the tide is out you can pick fresh clams in front of your cottage. Its close to the kids park and the little grocery store so it really is probably the best location on the Island. The kitchen is very well equipped and the bedrooms had the most comfortable beds we are yet to sleep in on Armona. Like their other house, once you stay here, you'll be dying to come back. We will. YD.

Eb en vloed vlak voor je neus, rustgevende omgeving.

Zalig zitten van ochtendgloren tot zonsondergang met de wisselende lagune voor de deur. Bij laag water veel vogels gezien: strandlopertjes, soms een fouragerende ooievaar en heel vaak de kleine zilverreiger (natuurlijk!) Leuk dakterrasje met ligzetels en vlak naast de woning een beschutte zit- en ligplaats met douche. Heel aangenaam !

Ein traumhaftes Stückchen Erde

Wir waren 16 Tage bei Heidi und Dieter zu Gast - es war traumhaft. Das Haus und die Ausstattung perfekt! Der abendliche Sundowner auf der Terrasse oder auf dem Dach bleiben unvergesslich. Wir hatten die Möglichkeit ein Stand up Paddel für unseren Aufenthalt zu mieten. Eine klasse Gelegenheit bei Flut durch die Gegend zu cruisen und viel Spaß zu haben. Im Oktober ist die Insel traumhaft ruhig, das Wasser klar (und nicht sooo kalt) und die Tagestemperaturen um die 26 Grad. Für jüngere Kinder ist die Lagune vor dem Haus perfekt, denn es ist sehr seicht. Wir können das Haus wärmstens empfehlen!

Excelentes férias 2021

Casa excelente, com vista espectacular, água da ria à porta de casa Tudo muito bom. Apenas algumas notas para melhorias, O duche da suite por arranjar durante toda a estadia, as portadas laterais estão velhas e não fecham e sugiro a colocação de umas cortinas nas janelas da sala/cozinha para se ter mais privacidade

About the host

Hosted by Dieter and Heidi

Host profile image
We are Dieter and Heidi from Belgium. 18 years ago we discovered this island. It was love at first sight!! At first we just rented a house. In 2004 we bought our first house on the island. In 2017 we bought this house next to our first. The location is wonderful with great views and sights! When our kids were younger they loved going to Armona and played all around the island. They were building sandcastles in front of our house and were enjoying the small things that Armona has to offer. Now they are older but they still love the island especially having drinks on the beach at the bar or having friends over to party and enjoy the peace.



Let us share this piece of heaven with you!!

Why they chose this property

We love this location right at the beach with fantastic views! This house is next to our other house so perfect for big families or friends who want to stay next to each other!

What makes this property unique

Very quiet location right at the beach with fantastic views!
