Short answer
Mariakerke is the calmer side of Ostend: still by the sea, still well connected, but less busy than the central beach around the Casino and Visserskaai.
- •Booking direct with DLVX Rentals avoids Airbnb and Booking.com platform fees.
- •The apartments are in Ostend, close to the beach, coastal tram, and city center.
- •Guests speak directly with the owner for check-in and local questions.
When Mariakerke is better than the center
Choose Mariakerke if you want beach, calm, children, dog zones, or longer walks. Choose the center if you want shopping, nightlife, and a busier city feel.
Easy access without stress
The coastal tram makes Mariakerke simple. You stay near the calmer beach zone while reaching the center, harbor, Raversijde, or other coastal towns quickly.
