Family house near beach Vecāķi

Hotel Description

You know what? When I first pulled up to this place on Vecāķu prospekts, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect – the name “Family house near beach Vecāķi” is pretty straightforward, but honestly, it undersells what you’re actually getting here. This isn’t some fancy resort trying to impress you with marble lobbies, it’s more like staying at your well-traveled aunt’s place if she happened to live ten minutes from one of Riga’s best beach spots.

The thing about Vecāķi is that most tourists never make it out here, which is honestly their loss. You’re far enough from the Old Town crowds that you can actually hear the waves at night (well, when the wind’s right), but close enough that a quick tram ride gets you back to cathedral square whenever you want. The house itself sits right on the main street through the area, so there’s this nice local vibe – I mean, you’ll see people heading to the beach with their kids and dogs in the morning, locals grabbing groceries, that sort of authentic neighborhood feel you can’t fake. Parking was never an issue when I was there, unlike pretty much anywhere in central Riga, and the check-in was refreshingly simple – no standing around lobbies filling out forms.

What really got me was how the owners have figured out that sweet spot between giving you space and being helpful. The rooms are clean and comfortable (nothing fancy, but everything works), and they’ve clearly thought about what families actually need – decent WiFi, enough space to spread out, windows that actually open so you can get that Baltic Sea breeze. The beach itself is maybe a seven-minute walk, and it’s the kind of place where you’ll find both locals and the occasional tourist who’s done their homework. During summer weekends it gets busier, but even then it’s nothing like the zoo you’d find at more famous beach towns. I actually preferred the quieter weekday mornings when you could have whole stretches of sand to yourself – there’s something about the light hitting the water early that makes the whole area feel almost Scandinavian. The 9.6 rating makes perfect sense once you realize this place delivers exactly what it promises without any pretense or inflated expectations. If you’re looking for a genuine slice of how Rigans actually live and relax, rather than another cookie-cutter hotel experience, this little spot near Vecāķi delivers.

• A great stay in Vecaki – Antons from United Kingdom – 25 July 2024 (10/10)

  It's a lovely house within 10 minutes walk from the main Vecaki beach, beautifully renovated and perfect for a family. The house has everything you need and where there was something missing the hosts were very kind and quick to help. It's not fully detached, but you get your own entrance and a large private garden, so you only share a wall and a parking lot.
  
  What could be improved: There is a relatively steep staircase, so we were a bit concerned for our toddler – but he did just fine

• Ļoti patika māja – tai ir īpaša atmosfēra un mājīgums. – Angelika from Latvia – 21 April 2025 (10/10)

  Ļoti jauka māja netālu no jūras! Vieta ir klusa un mierīga – ideāli piemērota atpūtai ar ģimeni vai draugiem. Māja ir tīra, labi aprīkota un ļoti mājīga. Īpaši patika terase, kur no rītiem baudījām kafiju. Lieliska atrašanās vieta – tikai dažu minūšu gājiens līdz pludmalei. Īpašnieki bija ļoti laipni un atsaucīgi. Noteikti atgriezīsimies vēlreiz!
  
  What could be improved: Viss super – tīrs, ērts, tuvu jūrai. Iesakām

• Jauka vasarnīcas atmosfēra – Evita from Latvia – 22 February 2025 (10/10)

  Plašas istabas. Daudz vietas. Sāls, cukurs, kafija un viss pārējais virtuvē bija. Kamīns un daudz malkas. Iespēja izīrēt pirti. Autostāvvieta pagalmā. 15 minūtes ar kājām līdz jūrai. Jauka saimniece.
  
  What could be improved: “Plānas” sienas. Nav mikroviļņu krāsns. Grūti ieslēdzama vannasistabas duša.

• Exceptional – Amanda from Latvia – 25 December 2024 (10/10)

  Ļoti tīra un kārtīga apmešanās vieta. Ļoti bija pievērsta uzmanība tam, ka ģimenē ir mazulis – istabu temperatūra atbilda vajadzībām, tika nodrošināts viss zīdainim nepieciešamais aprīkojums. Bija piedomāts par svētku noformējumu. Ļoti pozitīva pieredze un brīnišķīgi, atsaucīgi saimnieki.

• Empfehlenswertes Ferienhaus in ruhiger Lage – Joern-peter from Germany – 16 August 2024 (9/10)

  Ein ruhiger Ort dicht am Strand und sehr gut angebunden durch den Bahnhof in der Nähe. Ideal für einen Ausflug nach Riga!
  
  What could be improved: Nichts

• Schönes Häuschen in toller Lage – Felicitas-clarissa from Sweden – 4 January 2025 (10/10)

  Das Haus liegt ganz nah am Strand, in einer kleinen sehr ruhigen Siedlung. Es ist mit allen wichtigen Utensilien ausgestattet die man so benötigt. Durch das Holz Interieur hat es einen ganz besonderen Charme. Die Kommunikation mit den Vermietern lief wunderbar und es wurde schnell auf Anfragen reagiert! Die Sauna ist super, nach einer langen Wanderung genau richtig. Man ist schnell in Riga & hat in der Umgebung genügend Einkaufsmöglichkeiten. Klare Empfehlung für das Häuschen! Wir konnten uns richtig gut erholen, vielen Dank❤️
  
  What could be improved: Die Matratze im Schlafzimmer it für meinen Geschmack zu hart, aber für alle die harte Matratzen mögen perfekt 🙂

• Riager Bucht, gerne wieder. – Fahrtenschreiber from Germany – 5 August 2024 (8/10)

  Große Haushälfte, Garten mit Terasse. Drinnen viel Platz und viele Sitzecken / Sofas. Waschmaschine und Trockner sind hier und für uns nützlich gewesen.
  Zum Strand ist es nicht weit und in die Stadt sind wir mit Bus oder Vorortbahn gut und günstig gefahren.
  
  What could be improved: Bißchen mehr Geschirr und Besteck wäre schön. Auch ein Toaster wäre nett.
  Relativ harte Matratze im Doppelbett und eine "amerikanische" Decke, also eine Decke für zwei Personen.
