Budget holiday on the Belgian coast: save 15-20%

A holiday on the Belgian coast does not have to be expensive. The biggest cost driver is not the rental price itself, but the commission that platforms like Airbnb and Booking.com charge: an average of 15-20% on top of the rental price. At DLVX Rentals you book directly with the owner. No commission, no hidden costs, just the price the owner asks. For a sea view apartment on the promenade in Ostend, 4 guests, €150 per night.

How booking cheaper works: the maths

Imagine: you book 5 nights in our apartment on the promenade. Via Airbnb: €150/night x 5 = €750 rental price + average €127 Airbnb service fees (17%) + €60 cleaning = €937 total. Direct booking via DLVX Rentals: €150/night x 5 = €750 + €60 cleaning = €810 total. That is €127 cheaper for exactly the same apartment, exactly the same nights. With five nights you save enough for an extra outing: a cycling day along the coast, a visit to Sea Life Blankenberge, a dinner at a local starred restaurant. Book via WhatsApp at +32 491 597 038. Simple, direct, no middlemen.

The cheapest period on the coast

The Belgian coast has clear seasons and the price difference is significant. High season (July-August, school holidays): most in demand, highest price. Our apartment: €150/night. Pre-season (April-June): good weather starts, beaches not yet packed, prices lower. Weekends are popular. Our apartment: €120-130/night. Shoulder season (September-November): autumn light by the sea is beautiful, quiet beaches, low prices. No school children. Our apartment: €100-120/night. Low season (December-March, excluding Christmas): the quiet coast. Stormy sea walks, fresh oysters, pub cosiness. Our apartment: €90-110/night. Christmas holidays: higher price but the atmosphere is unique. By booking direct with the owner you always pay less than through a platform, in every season.
