Project Bay Lietzow: Arbeiten & Entspannen am Meer

Project Bay is a great place to work and feel at ease at the same time. I had an amazing week there and very much enjoyed to be surrounded by such beautiful landscape and nice people.

​

The whole space is arranged very practically and with lots of love for details. The shared kitchen is very well equipped. I particularly liked that you could use the co-working space, kitchen & garden, do the laundry, borrow SUPs (all for free by the way) without any "bureaucracy".

​

There is a great community spirit, but it is not distracting - so you can get focused work done at each time of the day/evening. The team is very open-minded and they try hard to accomodate every request.

​

As for getting around: Sassnitz, Binz and Bergen are easy to reach by a short train ride. Some other destinations such as Kap Arcona are difficult to reach without a car (an electric car can also be rented at Project Bay for a fair price).

​

Some tips for your travel preparations: There's no (super)market in Lietzow, so you should do some grocery shopping before your arrival. The dorms are on the road-side so there is quite some traffic noise during the day. Also they are facing East, so in summer the sun will already shine into the room very early. If you are sensitive to noise/light, consider bringing Ohropax/a sleeping mask or book a single/double room facing the waterfront.

​

Last but not least, the lake view from the co-working space is amazing, in particular the evening light and sunsets (see photo). Hoping to return next year!

Special location. A really ugly early 1990 architecture crime on a top location filled with cool modern life. Workation with seaview. Direct train connection, beach (kite spot), self catering kitchen, fellow coworkers on evening campfire, standard callcenter office with some nice gimmicks … I was there in winter and it worked. Summer must be fantastic (I love the Baltic sea).

Be prepared for very functional accomodation style - there is still a huge potential to make it more fancy (I was running a award winning top rated hostel in stiff Berlin competition for 15 years and consider me an expert).

Wasn't my first choice to stay here, but work insisted we had to with no other reason than convenience for them.

​

The rooms I can only describe as Josef fritzels basement x 10! Waking up in the middle of the night looking up at the masses of cobwebs and arachnids gives you quite the freight!

​

Damp and moist rooms must have been the requirements of the building regulation as I've stayed in more than a handful of these dwellings, and they are all the same, even some having leaks.

​

Make sure you get insurance on your electronics as we all have damage to our personal belongings with no liability from our company or the accommodation management.

​

Good luck! (Only a fool would stay here)

Dies ist der schlimmste Ort, an dem ich jemals in meinem Leben übernachtet habe.

​

Das Gebäude ist undicht, wodurch sich im gesamten Gebäude ein ständiger, feuchter Geruch verbreitet.

NEIN, ich werde meine Bewertung nicht löschen. Ich war mit TRAC renewables hier, mein Laptop wurde aufgrund Ihrer undichten Räume zerstört. Ich war äußerst freundlich und habe Ihnen über ein JAHR Zeit gegeben, um es zumindest über die Versicherung abzuwickeln, aber nachdem Sie dies nicht getan haben, bleibt mir keine andere Wahl, als eine zutreffende Bewertung abzugeben.

Sehr schlecht. Die Unterkunft ist einfach. Es gibt ein Bett und eine Möglichkeit zum Duschen. Allerdings ist sie undicht. Wenn es regnet, sind das Dach und die Fenster undicht, sodass sich Pfützen im Raum bilden. Das Geräusch von tropfendem Wasser hält Sie nachts wach. Und Sie haben möglicherweise das Pech, dass Ihre elektronischen Geräte durch die genannten Lecks zerstört werden. Und wenn dies der Fall ist, unternehmen die Eigentümer nichts. Versprechen, sich darum zu kümmern, nur um Sie ruhig zu stellen. Ein Jahr später wurde die beschädigte Elektronik nicht ersetzt oder entschädigt.
