Käpt'n Hörnchen - Sylt is a precious natural habitat and an ideal vacation destination, a

Hello and ahoy! Our “Captain Hörnchen” welcomes you aboard here in the southern part of the island, in Hörnum. This spacious 70-square-meter vacation apartment with two bedrooms, a separate kitchen, and a sheltered balcony is a hidden gem for connoisseurs, accommodating up to four people—and one worth a second look: Because the rather unassuming red-brick apartment building—with two stories below the attic—doesn’t really give away just how thoughtfully designed, cozy, and genuinely charming this thoroughly renovated apartment is.

White furniture—some of it custom-built with high-quality carpentry— along with seawater-blue accents, light-colored hardwood floors, an elegant bathroom, and a kitchen that’s downright lavishly designed and equipped by vacation standards—all of these elements make “Käpt’n Hörnchen” a charming exception that’s guaranteed to quickly win over a loyal following (or has already done so).

The location is quiet, with no through traffic; if you listen closely, on days with a westerly wind you can even hear the sound of the sea from here, because—once you’re through the dunes—it’s less than 600 meters to the beach. It’s also just a leisurely 10-minute walk to the harbor, Lund Bakery, the restaurants, and the shops, as well as to the Budersand Golf Club, the legendary links course. It’s 17 kilometers to the island’s capital; the bus stop is right “out front” on the main street, just a short walk “around the corner.”
