Description Watershed: Helberskov Strand

Right on the water at Øster Hurup Havn, this stylish home is purpose-built for relaxing stays on the beach. With a couple of restaurants on its doorstep, along with a stunning beach and the yachts in the marina, it's a haven for lovers of the coast. It's built in a traditional fisherman's hut style, cutting an angular, black figure against the shore, and we absolutely love the view from its private terrace.

Inside, big windows make the most of the scenery and there's a modern log burner for cosy nights in front of the fire. Contemporary styling with monotone shades is pepped up with bright pieces of modern art, and it's well kitted-out for families, with a board game collection and four comfy bedrooms. And for a treat, there's a whirlpool bath and a private sauna tucked away in the bathrooms.

Home truths:
*The TV channels are limited to Danish and German
*You'll need a car – this home comes with private parking
