Can the annex be used in winter?
It has a heat pump and electric heating, but it is intended for summer use and is not recommended in cold Danish winter weather. Out-of-season use requires a separate agreement.

Is there Wi-Fi and streaming?
Wi-Fi covers all guest buildings and most of the garden. Google TV is available in the main house and small annex; bring your own streaming subscriptions.
Can we park and charge an EV?
About three cars fit on the property, and the parking area just outside has no time limit. There is no EV charger. Covered bicycle storage may be agreed.
Are pets, smoking or parties allowed?
Pets and smoking are not allowed. Events require prior agreement and must not disturb neighbours.
Is the house wheelchair accessible?
No. There are thresholds, stairs, terrace steps and about 25 steps to the beach. The garden is open towards the water, and no dedicated child equipment is provided.
Can we arrive without a car?
Yes. The ferry from Kalundborg arrives in Ballen and the house is within walking distance. Longer island trips require bicycles or planned local transport.
Is an enquiry a booking?
No. Only written confirmation of dates, price and terms makes the stay binding.
Are the garage and large annex included?
No. The garage itself, garage loft and large annex are private. The separate guest bathroom and kitchenette beside the garage are included.
Seasons and shopping
Ballen is at its liveliest in summer. Many venues reduce hours outside high season, so check food, shops and events before travelling.
Beach and nature
The house has its own steps to the beach, but the beach is public. Respect signs, protected bird areas and private land.
Emergency help
Call 112 for immediate danger, fire or serious illness. Out-of-hours medical service: +45 70 11 31 31. Police, non-emergency: 114. Verify details with the authorities.
Plan around the island's rhythm
Samsø changes with the season. Ferries, bicycles and popular tables are in demand during summer weeks, while shoulder season brings more space and fewer open venues. Reserve transport early, check hours with each operator and consider shopping before arrival when reaching the island late.
Weather along the Kattegat can change quickly. Bring layers, windproof clothing and suitable swimming shoes, and supervise children closely by the water. The beach below the property is public even though the house has its own steps from the grounds. Follow signs and take particular care in protected nature areas.
Practical life in a private summer home
Klintevej 10 is a private and frequently occupied summer house with personal belongings and a few locked cupboards. Guests have the property to themselves during a stay. Pets and smoking are not allowed, events require prior agreement, and no dedicated child equipment is provided.
Water and electricity are read from meters and charged in addition to the stay. There is no EV charger. Thresholds, terrace steps and stairs mean the house is not wheelchair accessible, and the garden is open towards the water.
A simple pre-departure check
Read the final agreement and arrival information together before travelling. Confirm the ferry, opening hours and shopping, and bring any linen or personal equipment specified in the agreement. Share the address with everyone, decide who holds the booking details and save the owner's contact information so a practical question does not depend on one phone or a strong signal.
