Children don't bother us. Such a sign could hang at the entrance to Sobieszówka. It's not there only because everything here speaks for itself. First of all, we have seaside sand, trees and a climbing wall, a great playground and a narrow-gauge train that passes eight times a day just behind the fence. The rule is: we always wave to the passengers of the colorful wagons. Other rules: we don't have televisions, and we only share the wifi password with adults, although we noticed that they rarely use it. Because here, there's a lot of talking and even more laughter. Children immediately get in touch and function together, and adults quickly follow their example.
We built two gray semi-detached houses on the sand from spruce logs. They are divided in half, but function together - they are connected by a patio, where life goes on. Three parts are for you, one remains ours. Each day here has its own theme. In the calendar, we have a day of waffles, blueberry buns and ice cream. The rest change, because we like to come up with something together. Light a birch bark fire, paint shells or stones, go to a workshop at an apiary, make homemade pasta. And here we have to warn you. Sometimes the children don't want to leave. They remember the taste of honey, playing amber diggers, picking berries in the forest, watching seals and agree to go back home, only in exchange for a promise to come back here next year.
Sobieszówka is the fulfillment of our dreams of a wooden house by the sea. Two houses on a dune, built of spruce logs (they are semi-detached, divided in half and separated by a shared patio with a wooden table and armchairs). We built them with families with children in mind. One of these four parts is ours. Thanks to this, we are nearby if you need anything. Three are available to you.
Each part is 36 m². It consists of a space on the ground floor (where there is a living room connected to the kitchen and dining room and a bathroom with a shower) and a usable attic (an open space with three beds - one double measuring 140x200 cm and two singles measuring 80x200 cm).
Wooden stairs ending with a safety gate lead to the first floor.
We have a relaxation area with comfortable seats, lamps and a fireplace, where evenings are usually spent. For children we have a great playground and an attraction in the form of a narrow-gauge train that passes several times a day just behind the fence (yes, our area is fenced).
Our guests appreciate that it is quiet here, because we are located on the sidelines, but the nearest, wild beach is a 15-minute walk away. You can come to us by bus, there is a stop right next to it.
You can cook here yourself, because the kitchenettes are very well equipped. If you decide to eat outside, the nearest restaurant will be 200 meters away. We know where you can taste real Żuławy cuisine, served in a 300-year-old Dutch house, and we will be happy to share this knowledge with you. For the best potato babka, real pickling and Mennonite meatball soup with calamus beer, go to Gospoda Mały Holender. You will also try the dessert of Żuławy railway workers.
We regularly sell delicious honey from Żuławy, and during the holiday months we can organize the purchase of local products (cheese, eggs and vegetables) for you.
Jantar is located on the border of the Vistula Spit and Żuławy Wiślane. In its quiet part, where even in the peak season the seaside noise does not reach, Sobieszówka is located on a sand dune.
You will be about 900 meters away from the wild beach. A forest path will lead you to it. You may meet amber collectors there.
Going further, you will reach the mouth of the Vistula. This is a ditch, i.e. an artificial river mouth. The canal is 7.1 kilometers long and its width is from 250 to 400 meters. It is surrounded by flood embankments 10 meters high.
Near the mouth of the Vistula River there is the Mewia Łacha nature reserve, which protects the breeding sites of various species of terns and the feeding and resting habitats of waders and antlered birds. You can meet there swans, cormorants, plovers, sandpipers, mergansers, many varieties of gulls, ducks, terns and even white-tailed eagles.
You can admire gray seals on the sandy areas of the reserve. If you are interested, we will organize a motorboat trip to their island. The views are spectacular.
Żuławy is a unique land whose history and flavors we want to share. Thanks to the photography exhibition that we have prepared on site, you will be able to get to know it better and then go to see windmills, arcaded houses and eat meatball soup. Created from a Mennonite rule broken by Karol Okreasa in one of his episodes "Okrasa breaks the rules". It was in our neighborhood that Karol learned to cook this unique specialty of Żuławy cuisine in a cauldron over a fire. We have such a cauldron and we sometimes cook meatball soup over the fire.
We have bicycles on site, and if you have your own, we recommend you take them with you. The EuroVelo 10 route (bicycle route R10) runs 150 meters from our cottages and leads around the Baltic Sea. In Poland, it is approximately 540 km long, it starts in Świnoujście and ends in Elbląg. Most of it runs along the sea shore. We also recommend hiking along the paths surrounding Sobieszówka. During them, you can stop to pick mushrooms, blueberries, blackberries and wild strawberries.
Sobieszówka is located right next to the tracks of the Żuławy Narrow Gauge Railway, which passes by the houses 8 times a day (don't worry about morning noises, the first ride is around 9 am). Our rule is to wave to passengers traveling in its colorful, open carriages. You can take the train to Sztutowo and Mikoszewo, where the Vistula River flows into the Baltic Sea.
Evenings in Sobieszówka are filled with the crackle of a bonfire, roasting sausages together and long conversations. Sometimes we organize summer outdoor cinema.
If you are interested, we can arrange a seaside family photo session.
What’s there for children?
Sobieszówka loves kids! The houses include a "baby" package (a travel cot, a bathtub, a high chair and a few other gadgets) and a railing at the top of the stairs. In our area there is sand, there are pine trees for climbing and a wall serving the same purpose, there are swinging hammocks, a tube pipe, swings, cool sticks and lots of toys. We can also organize workshops for children, e.g. painting stones and shells or cooking together, or think about a trip to the apiary. We act spontaneously, talking to children, responding to their needs and developing their interests. We don't have TVs here, but we have time, willingness and millions of ideas to make children have the best time here!
