Friendly House in Jurmala

Tucked along Vārpu iela in Jūrmala's quiet residential stretch, Friendly House sits minutes from the pine-fringed Baltic shoreline that draws visitors from Riga year-round. The address places guests well away from the louder Majori strip while keeping the beach under a ten-minute walk.

With a 9.6 rating across 75 reviews, the guesthouse earns consistent praise for personal service typical of owner-run properties rather than branded hotels. Rooms are modest and house-style rather than resort-grade, which suits the slow-pace character of Jūrmala itself.

Jūrmala runs along a narrow peninsula between the Gulf of Riga and the Lielupe River. The commuter rail from Riga Central reaches Jūrmala in roughly thirty minutes, making this a practical base for day-trippers extending into an overnight stay.
