Unwind in your own coastal loft Welcome to De Strandgaper Egmond, a bright and comfortable 35 m² loft in the peaceful village of Egmond aan den Hoef. The studio is completely private, with its own entrance, a modern kitchenette, air conditioning, and a cozy sitting area with a smart TV. Ideal for anyone who enjoys peace, space, and independence — no shared hallways or breakfast rooms, but the comfort of a home away from home. Enjoy views of the historic village, with the dunes just a short walk away. The loft features a SWISS double bed (160x200), a bathroom with shower and towels, free Wi-Fi, private storage for bicycles, and nearby parking with a charging station (public). Optional breakfast service with regional products is available. A baby cot and high chair are provided on request. The beach is only one kilometer away, Castle Egmond just 200 meters, and the bus stop a 6-minute walk from the loft.

Not anonymous lodging, but a stay with a personal touch Behind De Strandgaper you won’t find a large company, but Joris: your host, a true bon vivant, and someone who knows exactly how important it is to feel genuinely welcomed when you take time away from home. With many years of experience in hospitality and recreation — including running his own restaurant in Nijmegen — he greets guests with sincere attention and warm hospitality. Joris returned to his roots in Egmond aan den Hoef, where he lives with his wife Rylana and their children, Ferre and Tesse, in a characteristic house from 1910. The loft of De Strandgaper is located behind their home — a space lovingly designed for guests seeking peace, the beach, and the comfort of having their own private retreat. At De Strandgaper, everything moves at your pace. Personal contact is always possible but never required. Check-in can be with a warm welcome or completely contactless using an access code — exactly the way you prefer.

Where beach, dunes and history come together From De Strandgaper, you’re just minutes away from an environment that offers everything for a relaxed, inspiring or active stay. Less than a kilometer away lies the beach of Egmond — perfect for a refreshing walk, a quiet stroll along the shoreline, or watching the sunset with your feet in the sand. Right behind the accommodation begins the North Holland Dune Reserve, one of the largest and most diverse nature areas in the Netherlands. Here, you can walk, cycle, or simply enjoy the peace and wide-open landscapes for as long as you like. History is also within easy reach: Egmond Castle is only a few minutes’ walk away, as is the charming historic center of Egmond aan den Hoef. Whether you’re visiting for nature, culture or tranquillity — De Strandgaper is the perfect starting point to experience it all.
