Saules Mājas

Latvia


Accommodation here is in sea-facing barrel-shaped huts on a small dune under trees on the beach. The houses are quite charming and have one-way glass so you can enjoy the exceptional view but beachgoers can't enjoy you. There are shared toilets and showers in a separate building.
