The Gerhard vacation rental at the Gulfhof Boomgaarden in Upleward near Greetsiel is a particularly charming and private accommodation located in the historic section of the Gulfhof. With 67 m² of space, the vacation rental can accommodate up to 4 people and is ideal for couples, families, or groups of guests who want to enjoy a peaceful North Sea vacation in Krummhörn with a special atmosphere.

Gerhard is one of the most private apartments on the estate and is located in the part of the building where the estate’s owners once lived. The carefully restored wooden beam ceiling in the historic color scheme from 1851, the lovely details, and the unique floor plan give the apartment an unmistakable character. Here, East Frisian history blends with modern living comfort.

The living and dining area is cozily designed and offers a pleasant retreat for relaxing, reading, dining, or winding down the day together. The historic elements, the quiet location, and the direct connection to the outdoor area create a particularly homey feeling.

A real highlight is the kitchen behind the ornamental arch. It blends harmoniously into the historic part of the building and gives the Gerhard vacation rental a truly unique character. In front of the ornamental arch stands a large freestanding SMEG refrigerator with a freezer compartment, color-coordinated with the historic wooden beam ceiling. An induction cooktop, oven, dishwasher, microwave, toaster, Nespresso machine, spices, a cookbook, and other kitchen utensils provide everything you need to prepare your own meals during your vacation.

The vacation rental has two bedrooms and can accommodate up to 4 people. One bedroom is furnished with a double bed; the second bedroom has two single beds. The layout is well-suited for couples, families, or guests traveling together. The quiet location in the historic Gulfhof ensures restful nights during your North Sea vacation.

The bathroom is functional and comfortably equipped. The walk-in shower, sink, toilet, and hair dryer ensure a pleasant stay.

A special highlight is the private outdoor area. Gerhard’s terrace is one of the quietest and most secluded areas of the courtyard complex. Right in front of the historic gable, the adjacent lawn invites you to sunbathe, read, and relax. Garden furniture and a grill create a lovely setting for outdoor breakfasts or cozy evenings after a trip to the North Sea.

Getting there is also particularly convenient: The vacation rental’s private parking space is located directly across from the entrance to the apartment. This keeps the distances for loading and unloading pleasantly short—a practical advantage when arriving with luggage, groceries, or family gear. There is also a suitable storage and charging facility available for bicycles and e-bikes. This makes Gerhard ideal for guests who want to actively explore Upleward, Greetsiel, Krummhörn, and the East Frisian North Sea coast by bike.
