Pure island feeling - short distances, maximum relaxation in the new designer apartment

The modern and freshly and permanently renovated apartment Polarstern is located in the pedestrian zone in Borkum, in the immediate vicinity of the daily contact points for everyday needs.
The supermarket is right next door, various catering establishments for all tastes are only a 1 to 4-minute walk away, a bike rental is 200 meters around the corner and the beaches are within easy walking distance.
So vacation goes!

Further information on the apartment and leisure activities on Borkum can also be found here:

The apartment was freshly renovated in 2015. Enjoy the airy feeling of space through the open beam statics. The view now reaches the roof ridge and creates a cozy atmosphere. The thermal insulation was carried out according to current standards, so that there is a pleasant indoor climate, both in summer and in winter.
The new and modern brand kitchen leaves nothing to be desired with a dishwasher, stove with ceramic hob, kettle, extractor hood and a refrigerator with an ice compartment.

A highlight is the indirect LED lighting in the roof ridge, which ensures pleasant lighting. A highlight of the special kind is the blue LED lighting in the kitchen area, which creates an unusual atmosphere. Especially when darkness falls, the interior transforms into a "club atmosphere", where you can relax with your partner, friends or family.

Leave the 32-inch television with DVD player switched off and indulge in good music on the hi-fi system. This consists of a Yamaha amplifier with tuner and Canton or Visaton speakers for the living area and for the bathroom. Using a jack cable, you can connect your own ipod or mp3 player to the system.

The floor is consistently equipped with new, pleasant wooden planks. The bedroom offers a 1.60 m wide double bed with a large wardrobe. You will find additional storage space on the gallery, which can be easily reached via the ladder. The bathroom is equipped with many storage options and also offers space for a washing machine. A clothes horse is also available. All rooms offer a beautiful beam look on the ceiling, some with a deliberate contrast between "old" and "new".

The spacious balcony terrace with a new wooden floor facing away from the pedestrian zone offers the necessary vacation rest. Due to the east orientation, you can enjoy the morning sun. During the day you always have sun, all the way until sunset under the roofs of Borkum. As darkness falls, you clearly follow the three pairs of rays of the New Borkum Lighthouse. You can even admire the light-emitting dome of the lighthouse directly from the balcony - an unusual experience!

We hope to make your stay and the island experience as pleasant as possible in the apartment "Polarsternchen". Discover Borkum, succumb to its charm and short distances directly from Franz-Habich Straße!
We look forward to you!

Update February 2016:
The spacious balcony (10 sqm) is now equipped with a beautiful and pleasant wooden floor with decking. The lighthouse beams can now be enjoyed even better with a nice glass of wine!

Update May 2016:
Two brand new Dutch bikes can be conveniently rented. A cool men's transport bike and a Batavus women's city bike are available.

Update March 2018:
The floor was completely laid with new, solid and visually great wooden floorboards. These give the asterisk a whole new fresh shine and also provide an even more maritime flair. In addition, wood is a natural product and feels even more pleasant on the feet.
The asterisk has also been given a new sofa. This now offers a recarmiere, so that you can put your feet up even after a hard visit to the beach.

Ein sehr schöner Urlaub
Der Urlaub auf Borkum war hervorragend. Ebenso die Unterkunft. Uns hat es an nichts gefehlt. Ausreichend Besteck und Geschirr, was zum Kochen super hilfreich ist. Einer der wichtigsten Helferlein ist die Spülmaschine. Wir können nur sagen - für uns war es einfach perfekt. Vielen Dank.

Schöne Wohnung
Wir haben uns zu viert eine Woche wohl gefühlt in der Wohnung; der Balkon könnte etwas Verschönerung/Abschirmung gegenüber dem Innenhof vertragen.

Bewertung Ferienwohnung
Die Wohnung verspricht auf Grund der Bilder im Inserat mehr, als sie halten kann. Im Bereich der Fernsehecke, wird es ziemlich eng, wenn man sich dort mit zwei Personen aufhält. Die Terrasse ist von der Größe her gut. Allerdings schaut man direkt auf das Außenlager des benachbarten EDEKA-Marktes und somit auf Leergutkisten, Mülltonnen, etc.. Ein Sichtschutz wäre hier eine ideale Lösung. Steckdosen im Badezimmer sind nicht wirklich gut für Menschen unter 170 cm Größe erreichbar, da diese in der Decke eingelassen sind. Genauso wenig einfach erreichbar sind diese im Ess- und Wohnzimmerbereich in ca. 10 cm Höhe/Tiefe. Geschirr, Besteck, Elektrogeräte (Toaster, Kaffeemaschine, usw.) sind vorhanden. Die Schräge im Küchenbereich erschwert das Zubereiten von Speisen für Menschen über 180 cm Größe.

Preis-Leistungsverhältnis war nicht ok. Schlechte Ausstattung, zu laut, zu eng - insbesondere Schlafzimmer und Küche sehr unbequem - zu starke Schrägen. Aufrechter Gang auch kleinen Menschen nicht möglich. Bad war prima. Dachterrasse eher zugiger Balkon. Wir hatten bei dem Preis eine bessere Ausstattung erwartet.

Eine Wohnung zum Wohlfühlen nicht nur für junge Leute.
Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Das kleine Problem mit der Dusche wurde schnell behoben. Eine Leselampe wäre bei der Schlafcouch schön und vielleicht im Bad einen Hocker. Der Balkon ist groß, aber die Aussicht nicht so prickelnd. Es ist eben der Hinterhof des Lebensmittelgeschäftes. Aber für diese Jahreszeit sowieso zu kalt, um ihn zu nutzen. Wir hätten ihn auch nur zum Frühstücken genutzt. Borkum ist viel zu schön, um auf dem Balkon zu sitzen. Wir hatten auch das Glück, wunderschönes Wetter zu genießen. Wir konnten eine sehr schöne Woche verbringen bei der alles passte. Danke an Jochen, der, wenn nötig, immer erreichbar war

Schöne, gut eingerichtete und sehr gemütliche kleine Ferienwohnung - ideal für zwei Personen. Es sind sogar einige Spiele, Bücher und Filme vorhanden, falls man Mal nicht raus mag. Die Dachschrägen über der Küchenzeile und dem Bett haben uns nicht gestört - möglicherweise ist das bei sehr großen Menschen anders. Unmittelbare Nähe zum Supermarkt und anderen Geschäften. Und zum Strand ist es auch nicht weit. Sehr netter Kontakt zum Vermieter.

Hervorragende Lage
Vom Check-In, Sauberkeit, Lage, Kommunikation hat alles gepasst. Auf Fe-Wo direkt sollte noch geändert werden, dass die Wohnung durchaus WLAN hat. Weingläser sollten aufgefüllt werden, es gab nur eins 😉.
