Spacious Holiday home De Pauwenhof

The North Holland coast feels completely different once you move beyond the busiest seaside towns, and this spacious countryside home near Heiloo captures that quieter side perfectly. Sleeping up to 20 guests across nine bedrooms, the property combines dune landscapes, cycling routes, and beach access with enough indoor and outdoor space to make large family stays feel relaxed throughout the year. Most afternoons drift naturally between the terrace, garden, and nearby coastal trails while children disappear toward the trampoline, table tennis, and games rooms spread throughout the house. Once everyone returns from the beach or cycling routes, long dinners and barbecue evenings usually continue late into the night beneath the open sky. Egmond aan Zee Beach can be reached within roughly 15 minutes and is especially popular for dune walks, beach cafés, and swimming along the North Sea coastline. Noordhollands Duinreservaat lies around 19 minutes away with extensive cycling and hiking trails crossing forests, dunes, and open heathland landscapes. Guests looking for cultural day trips often head toward Alkmaar roughly 15 minutes away for canal cruises and the traditional cheese market at Waagplein, while Bergen can be reached within approximately 20 minutes for galleries, boutique shops, and Museum Kranenburgh. Schoorlse Duinen also lies nearby for some of the country’s highest dune landscapes and forest trails.
