There are many privately owned summer houses owned by Danes which are rented out. These can be an absolute bargain, especially if rented after the Danish schoolchildren go back after their summer break (typically second week of August). You can pay less than £600 for a house that sleeps 6-8, half the price of a mobile home in France in the middle of August.
The western coast of Jutland boasts mile after mile of wide beaches, dunes and clean unspoilt coastline. Many summer houses are located in the dunes just a short walk to the beach. There are no hotels or high rise apartment blocks here, just a fantastic place for a relaxed family beach holiday.
While there are several commercial rental companies like Sol og Strand (Sun and beach): www.sologstrand.com
you can find privately rented properties which are cheaper. Use Google with search words like "Jutland" or "Jylland", "sommerhus" or "feriehus" and "udlejes". Sites will generally have English and German versions. A typical example is www.driverhuset.dk/index_en.htm
