Tucked away in Texel’s bustling De Koog – the only village on the island to lie directly on the beach – this chalet-style home is the perfect base for your next coastal getaway. Little ones in particular will be enamoured with the garden here, especially on sunny days when they’ll be able to run around to their hearts’ content. Join them and a couple of furry friends outside for an alfresco meal or stay indoors and warm your feet on the underfloor heating as you savour a pint of locally made beer. Proost! Of course, it’s the location that’s the standout here, just a short walk from the white sands of Texel’s sprawling beach. Enjoy panoramic views from the top of the Texel lighthouse, get up close and personal with local wildlife, or treat yourself to an ice cream and a gentle stroll by the sea. We can almost feel the breeze now… Home truths: *You'll have your own private entrance here *Though there isn't a dedicated desk, the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace if you need to catch up on some work during your stay *You'll need to bring your own toiletries with you *The fireplace in this home is not operational
