Stay in a charming and carefully renovated croft from the end of the 19th century, where rural idyll meets seaside tranquility. Here you live with a large patio and spacious garden, just 600 meters from the beautiful sea environment and beach meadows.

The croft is efficiently planned with a nice living room that has a spacious sofa group, armchair, TV and fireplace (fireplace not allowed). On the lower floor there is a bedroom with two beds, and the kitchen is fully equipped with a cozy dining area, even if the dishes are done by hand. From the kitchen, a steep staircase leads up to the loft where there are four beds. The opening to the loft can be closed with a hatch, but keep an eye on children when it is open. In the hallway next to the living room there is a small work area with a door, perfect if you need a moment of privacy for reading or computer work. In the basement there is a pantry. The house has two entrances, the front of which is at ground level with only one low step. As a genuine croft, the house offers charming details and low doorposts, something to watch out for for taller guests.

The garden has outdoor furniture and a barbecue, and from here you are close to both the sea and nature. A short walk takes you down to the place that the locals call “Källan”, the old spa town where you can enjoy the open view of Kalmarsund. From here you can follow the Möreleden path along the water to Ekenäs, about two kilometers away, with its picturesque buildings, guest harbor and fine bathing area with sandy beach, jetties, kiosk and artisan bakery (limited opening hours). At Ekenäs there is also a wood-fired sauna for rent, with a bathing jetty and barbecue area next to it. For the family, Vita Sand is a popular excursion, just half a mile away, with a shallow sandy beach, large bathing jetty, playground, trampolines, cable car, mini golf, street food and ice cream parlor.

The area offers many walking trails and hiking trails, and in the fall there are plenty of mushrooms in the forests for the connoisseur. Nearby you will find the nature reserves of Värnanäs, Högasand and Ölands Alvar, which are a World Heritage Site. If you want to make day trips, Kalmar, Öland, Kristianopel, Karlskrona, the Kingdom of Glass and Blomlöfs fish smokehouse in Brömsebro are within easy reach. You are also close to several restaurants, including Stufvenäs Gästgiveri and Spa, Villa Famiglia (seasonal) with its Mediterranean-inspired menu and Möre golf course with its associated golf restaurant.

There is room for up to six people, but the house is most comfortable for two to four. The bus stop is just a minute's walk away, making it easy to get to Kalmar or other excursion destinations. The nearby road (old E22) is used by both local and some through traffic, but significantly less than when it was a main road.

A cozy cottage with history, sea breeze and proximity to both nature and experiences, perfect for those who want to relax and enjoy the Småland coastal life.
