What you save by booking direct

A worked example. Say you book the Beachfront Skyline Retreat for seven nights in July. The base price is 150 euros per night, so 1050 euros for the week. Via Airbnb, average service fees of 14 to 17 percent are added, so 147 to 178 euros extra. Plus possibly a higher cleaning fee passed on by the platform. Total: between 1200 and 1280 euros. At DLVX Rentals direct: 1050 euros for seven nights, plus 60 euros one-off cleaning fee. Total: 1110 euros. You save between 90 and 170 euros on a one-week stay. For a two-week stay the saving rises to 200-320 euros. You can better spend that money on dinner on Visserskaai or a day trip to Bruges.

What makes the Beachfront Skyline Retreat special

Living on the sixteenth floor transforms your entire holiday experience. The Beachfront Skyline Retreat is directly on the Ostend promenade, with a large window and balcony overlooking the entire North Sea. In the morning you drink coffee while watching the fishing boats come in. In the evening you watch the sun set over the water. The apartment has two bedrooms (one with a double bed, one with two single beds), a spacious living room with a seating area, a fully equipped open kitchen with dishwasher, and a modern bathroom. Fast wifi, smart TV and all household appliances are included. The location is unbeatable: you open the door and you are literally on the promenade. The beach is fifty metres away, the tram stop a hundred metres, the city centre a quarter-hour walk along the dike. At 150 euros per night, this is one of the sharpest prices for an apartment of this quality and location in all of Ostend.
