About the project

Naar de Zon is a Dutch-language holiday rental site for Casa di Boas, a mobile home at Camping Eden in Biot on the French Riviera, close to Nice, Antibes and Cannes. It introduces the accommodation, its facilities and the surrounding Côte d'Azur for guests planning a week in the sun.

The challenge

Casa di Boas is a mobile home that has stood on Camping Eden in Biot, on the French Riviera, since 1990. The owners rent it out on a non-profit basis, only to family and friends, so there is no booking engine, no agency and no need to compete on price.

What they did need was one place to point people to: a warm, Dutch-language site that shows what the caravan is like, explains the arrangement and makes it easy to get in touch.

The solution

I built a light, hand-coded site in Dutch that reads more like a note from the owners than a listing. It introduces Casa di Boas, explains the friends-and-family arrangement and the one thing asked in return, then walks through the comforts of the caravan and the campsite pool.

A section on the surroundings answers the question every guest asks first: how far is everything? The beach is five minutes by car, Antibes ten and Nice and Cannes twenty. The page closes with a simple invitation to get in touch.
