Wintering on Usedom – Your Winter Retreat on the Baltic Sea

What: selected exclusive seaside apartments that you can use flexibly for an extended period
Period & Houses: November 1, 2026 to March 31, 2027 – from quiet winter through early spring, in 22 apartments at Kaiser Karl Apartments, Villa Albatros, and Nadler Hof in Ahlbeck.
What’s included: Selected apartments with weekly cleaning and linen change, dedicated parking space, laundry room, Wi-Fi, fully equipped kitchen – electricity, water, heating, and final cleaning included. Workspace with ergonomic chair, desk, and monitor available upon request.
Price & Payment: €10,300 to €13,300 for five months, or €2,060 to €2,660 per month. 30% down payment, remainder in four monthly installments, non-cancellable thereafter. Bookable by request only, with a personal contact person.
For whom: Those who don’t want to spend the winter in a hotel – as a couple, alone, working from home, with family rotation, or as a trial stay before purchase. Two people included, dog welcome (€5 per night).

The beach chairs are stored away, the high season is over – and that’s exactly when Usedom becomes a special place for five months. At the special request of our guests, we have an offer for all those who want to winter on the Baltic Sea instead of spending the cold months in the city. Finally, the freedom to use a permanent apartment flexibly for an extended period – a vacation spot you can use as often as you wish.

Wintering on Usedom means: moving into a temporary home on the Baltic Sea – furnished, serviced, with monthly installments instead of a rental contract.

Vacation Apartment for Five Months on the Baltic Sea: November to March

From November to the end of March: 151 nights on the island – winter and early spring in one season.

Anyone who lives in one place for an entire season does something different than just vacationing: you find favorite spots, know the bakery that opens at seven, and know when the beach is most beautiful.

Your Temporary Home in Ahlbeck – Three Houses

Those who winter with OSTKÜSTE stay in one of three houses in the seaside resort of Ahlbeck. All centrally located, all within walking distance of the promenade, the beach, and the restaurants that are also open in winter.

Individually furnished, high-quality equipped, Mid-Century style: an apartment that still delights even in the fifth month.

What does it cost to winter on Usedom?

The price depends on the apartment size – not the house. You pay a flat rate for the entire season, divided into monthly installments.

Apartment Type Available in Total Flat Rate Per Month
Loft all three houses €10,300 €2,060
Apartment, 1 Bedroom Kaiser Karl · Nadler Hof €11,800 €2,360
Apartment, 2 Bedrooms Kaiser Karl · Nadler Hof €13,300 €2,660

All prices are for two people included, for the entire period from November 1, 2026 to March 31, 2027. Final cleaning is included; only the visitor’s tax is added. Lofts are available in all three houses, apartments with one or two bedrooms in the Kaiser Karl Apartments and Nadler Hof.

Usedom in Winter – and Early Spring in March

Anyone who only knows Usedom from summer only knows half the island. In winter, the seaside resort becomes a place again: the promenade in Ahlbeck belongs to walkers and dogs, the pier is shrouded in fog, and on some mornings the beach is actually empty – 42 kilometers of fine sand.

The island is not closed, however: the imperial spas of Ahlbeck, Heringsdorf, and Bansin remain lively all year round – bakeries, supermarkets, doctors, restaurants, the Ostsee-Therme, the cinema in Heringsdorf. And Usedom is Germany’s sunniest region, even in January.

From the end of February, the days get longer, and the beginning of spring on March 20 still falls right in the middle of the season: first chairs in front of the cafés, blooming front gardens in the imperial spas, more life on the beach – but still far from crowded. Those who winter here get both: the quiet winter on the Baltic Sea and spring on Usedom.

All-Inclusive – So Living Feels Like a Vacation

Anyone staying for an entire season shouldn’t have to think about towels. That’s taken care of.

  • Weekly interim cleaning – the apartment remains in a comfortable state
  • Weekly change of towels and bed linen – without request
  • Free laundry room – washing machine, dryer, and clothes rack are available for five months
  • Wi-Fi in every apartment – plus a flat-screen TV
  • Utilities and final cleaning included – electricity, water, heating, and final cleaning are included in the flat rate
  • A dedicated parking space – reserved for the entire season from November to March

Dogs are welcome (€5 per night). Two people are included in the price; a third person costs a one-time fee of €50 for the season.

What Makes Our Winter Retreat Special

What goes unnoticed during a one-week vacation is crucial for an entire season:

  • Fully equipped kitchens – ceramic hob, oven, dishwasher, microwave, refrigerator, coffee machine, toaster, cookware, and dishes. Over five months, this is the difference between accommodation and home.
  • Sleeping comfort that guests particularly highlight – double beds from 1.60 m to 1.80 m wide, good mattresses, separate bedrooms in the apartments. No point is praised more often than sleeping.
  • Space instead of cramped quarters – 42 to 98 m² living space, depending on the apartment, plus high ceilings, large windows, and bathrooms with walk-in showers. Room to arrive, not just to stay overnight.
  • Work possible – equipped upon request: ergonomic office chair, desk, and monitor can be provided if needed. Tell us in advance how you work, and the workspace will be ready upon your arrival.

Individually bookable – and personally advised: Each season, we put together your stay with you – house, apartment size, workspace, dog, family rotation. You have a dedicated contact person, not a hotline.

Who Winters on Usedom

Six guests we know well:

The couple who wants a season to themselves

Not a weekend, but an entire season: waking up in the morning when it gets light, structuring your own day, going to the empty beach in the evening.

Home office on the Baltic Sea – for those who work here instead of vacationing

Five months on the coast is not a weekend retreat, but a work environment: always the same desk, always the same view, Wi-Fi included. Upon request, we will set up the workspace appropriately – tell us before your arrival how you work.

The solo traveler for whom peace is a luxury

Peace here is not a side effect, but the reason: reading, walking, an armchair by the window when the wind blows outside. The basic occupancy is for two people – if you winter alone, you have the space to yourself.

Best Agers who want to escape the city winter

Wintering on the Baltic Sea instead of Mallorca – close enough for visits from children and grandchildren, far enough away from everyday life. The imperial spas in winter: quieter restaurants, more time, an island for those who truly love it.

The family that shares the season

Many families share the season: parents in November, children over Christmas, grandma and grandpa in February. Family rotation is possible – we will discuss how this works when you inquire.

Prospective buyers who want to try living there first

Five months in the off-season is the most honest test: not the island in August, but the island in January. Afterwards, you’ll know which location suits you – a trial stay before the decision, not after.

How to Book Your Winter Retreat

Instead of paying the total amount in advance, you pay a down payment and then monthly – similar to a long-term rental on Usedom, but without a rental contract and deposit, furnished and with service. Example Loft: €3,090 upon booking, then four installments of €1,802.50 each.

  • Down payment: 30% of the total amount upon booking
  • Remaining balance: in four monthly installments, due on the 1st of each month (December 2026 to March 2027)
  • Cancellation: no longer possible after the down payment – please decide consciously
  • Basic occupancy: two people included
  • Additional person: one-time fee of €50 for the entire season (extra bed and linen)
  • Pet: welcome, €5 surcharge per night
  • Visitor’s tax: added – the amount depends on the purpose of your trip
  • Season: November 1, 2026 to March 31, 2027 – five months, 151 nights, flat rate from €10,300

The flat rate applies to all 22 apartments in the three houses – but each only once per season. Those who inquire early have a wider selection.
