April 2024Spectacular Modern Sanctuary
We fell in love with this special house (at first sight). Every viewpoint, every detail, is exquisite. We understand beauty comes with meticulous research, planning, and execution, not just a good "eye". Hats off to the owners for creating such a magnificent house and garden. The "actual" house is even more gorgeous than the pictures. Ilze and Sjors were amazing hosts. We had a flight delay from the US which caused us to miss the connection to Amsterdam. This one-day delay inconvenienced Ilze and Sjors in “teaching us” how to have the best stay. They created 7 videos for us so that we can enjoy the house without missing a beat. GREAT HOSTS. Thank you :) We love their restaurant recommendations. We love walking around the house, the villages, and the trials. It was the most amazing 6 days for us. We highly recommend this house to the lucky few who can book it in the future. ”

September 2023Gorgeous home
We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful home. The hosts met us at the property and were very gracious and welcoming, even though our flight was delayed. The town is quite charming with many nice restaurants. If you are traveling here just be advised that you need a debit card or lots of euros. Some restaurants take credit cards but you need debit for grocery stores, pharmacies and even parking.”

June 2023The Orchis is an amazing and beautiful Dutch Orchid
First of all, Sjors and Ilze are wonderful hosts. They met us at the Orchis and went over all of the great features of their incredible home. The home is ultra modern with beautiful landscaping overlooking a neighborhood pond. The geese visited us every day and kept us company on the afternoons we made it into the pool. The town of Oostvoorne is very close. So convenient to the grocery store and plenty of restaurants. The eBikes at the house were perfect for going into town and even over to the beach. Lots of great trails to hike or bike. We used the Orchis as our hub for exploring Amsterdam, The Hague, Brugge and Brussels. That said, just staying in the area around Oostvoorne would have been and amazing and relaxing experience. Thank you Sjors and Ilse for allowing us to stay at your beautiful home in The Netherlands.”
