Description

Satu has described his/her home in English.

What you will love about this home

Large, modern and luxurious house by the sea only 15min by car from the heart of Helsinki. Lovely upscale neighborhood with only detached or semi-detacged houses. Espoo’s pride and joy tens of kilometres long beach boulevard goes right outside the house. You can take a bike or a long walk to admire the beautiful archipelago of Espoo. The location is simply perfect. You will have sea and natural forests right beside you but within a short drive a hustle and bustle of Helsinki downtown.

Sea shore is less than 50m away. There is road between the house and the sea but it is not too much traffic, only locals, so it doesn't bother us at all. You can take a dip into the sea in the morning and enjoy your breakfast on a large terrace on the second floor enjoying lovely views to the archipelago.

This is a comfortable house and fully equipped for family needs. Two saunas, a jacuzzi on the top floor terrace, large sun deck with a grill and TV room with a wooden fire place are few options to enjoy your time at the house.
There are 4 bedrooms plus two extra rooms where the guests may sleep.

(video was taken couple of years ago, and the furniture has been changed after that)

You have a possibility to discuss about a house cleaner visit during your stay (for around 150€).

Helsinki, the capital is 15min by car (or bus) but you will find many attractions in Espoo You can for example take a ferry to explore the islands near by. There are museums, restaurants, cafeterias, shopping malls as well as natural forests, hiking paths and beaches near by. The location is great for an active family/couple!
You will have 1-2 cars for your family needs (depending if we take the other car with us or travel by plane).

What you will love about this neighborhood

Beautiful green upscale neighborhood with only small houses and right by the sea. 15min by car/bus from Helsinki city center. 30min from international airport. Good public transportation (1 bus goes from 50m from our house) and the subway station is within couple of kilometers from our house.

You will find a nearest grocery store within a walking distance.
You have at least one car plus 4 bicycles at your disposal.

Restaurants: several nice restaurants in Espoo and of course in our capital, Helsinki.

Shopping: few big shopping malls in Espoo. The best shopping possibilities are in Helsinki, the capital.

Archipelago area starts right in front of our home. You can take a ferry nearby and explore the near islands. You can also take ferry from Helsinki city center and visit a charming small historic town, Porvoo. The ferries have restaurant services as well, so it is a really nice way to spend a day on the sea.

Day trips:
- To Åland: the island of Åland can be reached with a ferry from Turku (1,5hrs from us by car). You can leave the car in a parking area at the harbor). Lovely small, green island to cycle around.
- Stockholm, Sweden. You can take a cruise for 2days or overnight in a hotel. A lot of finns do that year around.
- To Tallinn, Estonia. You can take a ferry to Tallinn, it only takes couple of hours and you can spend few hours in Tallinn shopping, sightseeing and eating in restaurants. The old town is really pretty!
- To Hanko: one of the most beautiful summer towns in Finland. Old town charm, long beach line and several little shops, cafes and restaurants. Highly recommended! Takes couple of hours by car.
- To Porvoo: One of the most historical towns in Finland. Old town charm, it is like going 200 years back in history. By the sea, so you can get there by ferry from Helsinki. By car it takes around 2hrs.
- To nearby islands: take a ferry and stay in one of the islands in front of Espoo. All the islands are free of access to visitors. You can take a picnic on a rock, the views are amazing. If you are really adventurous, you can even take a tent with you and overnight on the islands.
- To Nuuksio: One of the most favourite natural forest hiking places in Espoo. Wonderful sceneries, small lakes and places where you can find a small fire (the hottest/driest times are an exception because of the risk of spreading fire) where people usually eat their picnic lunch.

Will be happy to guide you further about the different trip options nearby!

Additional information

We are now planning year 2024!
Please don't hesitate to contact us if you are interested traveling to Finland. We are very curious about different countries and cultures so we are very open to different suggestions.
No GP’s please.

We are a nice family and easy to communicate with. Our daughters are well-behaved teenagers and always traveling with us as we want to explore the world as a family. We also have two cats, Topi and Hilma, a hilarious couple that give us great joy. They are very calm and quiet, indoor happy little fellows.. It is upon agreement if you want to take care of them or if they will be placed at our grandparents.

We have two cars and it is up to an agreement if one of our cars will be available for our guests as well.

We take great pride in our home and would treat your home with the same respect.
