Welcome

Welcome to this personal Intervac exchange website from

Chris&Maaike Dessin
in Gistel
BELGIUM

Here you'll find a lot of detailed information about our house, our location and things to do or to visit in the surroundings. If you are not familiar with home exchange, please visit the International Intervac Home Page. Click here: Intervac International home page . We exchange only with Intervac members and prefer real homes instead of holiday locations. 
Our family consists of Chris and Maaike, and Sarala. Three of our four children are married and no more living at home.  Please see our Intervac page under BE095 for exact requirements. But it's most probably that we need at least two bedrooms.
And although our house seems rather large, we have no problem to exchange with small houses or appartments.
We hope these pages will help you in your quest for a holiday house exchange, and we are looking forward to hear from you.
Feel free to propose or ask more information.

Where are we exactly situated ?
We are situated in Flandres, just 15km from wonderful Bruges and 10 km from the beautiful Belgian coast. Brussels and Antwerp is one hour by car.
Go to the next page for details: Page 2: Maps

Our region is flat, and you can spend a lot of time on the beach, in the dunes, discovering the nice ports, or walk around in Bruges, Brussels, or Antwerp of course. On page 4 you'll find some more information about the surroundings. Page 4: The surroundings.
You can find our offer in the Intervac catalogue or on the Intervac website under n° BE095.
