Dune sideDune Room
32 m² · sleeps 2
Our largest. Two windows on the dune side, a deep sill wide enough to sit in, and the pines close enough to hear.
€99a night, quiet midweek
Seventeen rooms · Bulduri, Jūrmala
Where the pines meet the sea.
A wooden house set back from the water at Bulduri, run by six people who live within a kilometre of it. Wood-fired sauna, one long table, and the beach ninety seconds through the trees.
One room, one week · Attic Double
€144a Saturday in August
€83the Tuesday after
Both are the same on Booking.com — we are not allowed to undercut it, and would not. The difference is that there you would never have been shown the Tuesday.

A Tuesday in September is not a Saturday in August. Here is the whole season — what each night costs, and how much of the house is left.

Same price. Different destination.
We are not going to pretend booking here is cheaper — we charge the same rate everywhere, and we are contractually bound to. What changes is that 18% of what you pay stops leaving the country.

That is two people on the payroll all year, with change. It is why we would rather you booked on this page — and why the sauna is lit seven nights a week now instead of four.
Built in 1936 and never straightened. Ceilings drop, floors creak, and every room takes light differently. Three of them are below; the rest you will have to ask about.
Dune side
Sea and pinesPine Suite
48 m² · sleeps 4
The whole top floor. Separate sitting room, a bath under the roof window, and the sea audible with the window cracked.
€130a night, quiet midweek
Garden sideAttic Double
21 m² · sleeps 2
Tucked under the eaves at the quiet end of the house. Small, bright, and the best-value bed we have in July.
€83a night, quiet midweek
And fourteen more. Ring the house and describe what you want — a quiet end, a bath, a window you can hear the sea through — and one of us will tell you which room that is.
The bathhouse is lit at seven
Wood-fired, lit at seven every evening, and yours by the hour if you want the room to yourselves. The sea is ninety seconds through the pines — most guests go straight in, even in October.
One table, one sitting
One long table, one sitting, whatever came in that morning from the Lapmežciems boats. Thursday to Sunday, twenty-two seats, and non-guests take the last six.

“Same price as the app, but the app never showed me the Tuesday. Moved the trip two days on their own calendar and paid a third less — then rang and got the person who runs the place.”
“We booked the Attic Double for two nights and stayed four. The house is silent after ten, which is the whole point.”
“Sauna at eleven at night, then straight out to the sea in the dark. I have not slept like that in years.”
“Wrote to ask about a cot and got an answer from the person who would be making the bed. That does not happen through an app.”
Bulduri, twenty-three minutes from Rīga.
The train from Rīga Central runs every half hour and stops four hundred metres from the gate. If you drive, there is room for six cars behind the house and the road ends at the dunes.
