“Over the Rainbow” – Lovely house close to the Beach

“Over the Rainbow” – Lovely house close to the Beach Overview

When I first stepped out of the taxi at Over the Rainbow, the salty breeze that already carried the hint of the Baltic Sea felt like a welcome back. The check‑in was pleasantly quick – the front desk lady, a local from Gdańsk, greeted me with a friendly “Witaj!” and handed over the keys without fuss. She even slipped in a small map of the beachside streets, pointing out the best spot to catch a sunset by pier. Parking was a breeze; a free spot right next to the building, no long walk, which is a relief after a day of hiking the dunes. The only minor hitch was the small noise from the street at 2 a.m., but that’s the city’s lullaby, really. I found the room a quiet oasis – a plush bed that smelled faintly of linen and sea salt, a tiny balcony that opened onto the swaying palms that line Walecznych 9/1A. The beds were so comfortable, I almost fell asleep before the room was even finished.

The interior of Over the Rainbow feels like a home away from home, not a showroom. The décor is a mix of rustic coastal charm and modern polish – exposed wooden beams, linen curtains, and a few local art pieces that hum with the history of Gdańsk. The bathroom is a bright little space with a fluffy shower head that feels like a spa treatment. I noticed the breakfast area is small but thoughtfully stocked with fresh rye bread, local cheese, and a pot of homemade soup that tastes like it’s been simmering for days. If you’re a foodie, the on‑site café serves the best pierogi I’ve ever had (just don’t ask for the sweet ones – they’re a local secret). Outside, the street buzzes with the chatter of fishermen and the clink of beer glasses at the nearby “Morskie Klamry” pub. The beach is a stone’s throw away, and you can walk to the dunes in under five minutes, the sand warm from the sun and the sound of waves a constant lullaby. I liked that the restaurant at the hotel is quiet after 11 p.m., allowing you to enjoy a glass of wine without the usual noise of the night market.

What really sets Over the Rainbow apart is how it feels less like a commercial hotspot and more like a local haunt. The staff know the best hidden cafés on the Motława River, and they’ll walk you through the best hiking paths along the beach if you’re up for it. The only real downside is that during peak summer, the street can get a bit crowded and the local cafés might have a waiting list. But that’s just the cost of staying in a place that people actually love. I left feeling refreshed, the sea air still in my hair, and I can’t wait to recommend this gem to anyone looking for a relaxed, authentic slice of Gdańsk.

Early hotels booking in Gdansk requires advance planning during peak summer seasons when visitors flock to enjoy the city’s beautiful beaches and rich maritime culture.

Reviews of “Over the Rainbow” – Lovely house close to the Beach

• Christian from Germany – 5 April 2024 (9/10)

  Gute zentrale Lage für die Besichtigung von Danzig, gleichzeitig ein kurzer Weg zum Strand für Abendspaziergänge.

• Bartosz from Poland – 18 February 2024 (7/10)

  Lokalizacja i sam obiekt super!!! Blisko morza , w domku przestrzeń i fajnie urządzona powierzchnia.
  
  What could be improved: Niestety w drugi dzień po przyjeździe pojawił się błąd na alarmie sygnalizowany dźwiękowo . Mimo prób kontaktu z rezydentem brak pomocy z tą uciążliwością a nawet brak odebrania telefonu czy oddzwonienia. Dopiero przy odbiorze kluczy Pani która je odebrała dowiedziała się o tym. Ewidentnie coś w nadzorującej firmie nie działa dobrze . Szkoda bo zepsuło nam to trochę urlop w bardzo fajnym miejscu

• Wido from Belgium – 1 November 2023 (9/10)

  Very cosy house

• Agata from Ireland – 19 September 2023 (7/10)

  Bliskość do plaży, prywatność i cisza.
  
  What could be improved: Bardzo wąska brama wjazdowa przy zastawionej ulicy, wymagała koordynacji żeby wjechać lub wyjechać. Łóźka pojedyncze były bardzo wąskie postawione pod spadzistym dachem. Były to łóżka dziecięce

• Anja from Germany – 8 September 2023 (8/10)

  Netter Besitzer und für uns eine optimale Lage.

  Ruhige Lage im Garten. Sehr nah an Strand und Straßenbahn. Voll ausgestattet. Gut isoliert. Sehr nette Gastgeber.
  
  What could be improved: Das Doppelbett ist sehr schmal. Wir beiden Erwachsenen haben uns aufgeteilt.

• Igor from Belarus – 16 July 2023 (9/10)

  I recently stayed at apartment and I must say it was a fantastic experience. The apartment itself was excellent and the rental organization was also great. They were very responsive and helpful, promptly addressing any questions or concerns I had. The location of the apartment was superb, as it was conveniently close to the beach and within walking distance of everything. It's an ideal place to stay with friends or family. I highly recommend booking through this website if you're looking for a comfortable and enjoyable vacation.

• Piotr from Poland – 10 June 2023 (9/10)

  Pomocni i fantastyczni właściciele, przytulny i komfortowy domek. Polecam
  
  What could be improved: Brak pralki , przydały by się ciut odrobinie lepsze materace na łóżka i szybciej nagrzewająca się indukcja 😉

• Marcin from Poland – 26 January 2023 (9/10)

  Wystrój i lokalizacja. Do morza niedaleko a cicho i spokojnie. Pewnie kiedyś wrócimy 😊
  
  What could be improved: Drobne mankamenty typu odpadająca klamka i brak miotły. w TV kanały tylko naziemne ze stajni TVP.
