This sleek home is situated close by to the coastal bay of Texel, with a verdant garden that's perfect for family fun outdoors no matter the time of day. Create a homemade picnic in the contemporary monochrome kitchen for an afternoon under the sun in the garden, while the children play. If the weather isn't on your side, there's a lovely dining table indoors for families to spend some quality time together while you tuck into some good grub. The sun-drenched living room is a great spot for socialising and unwinding as you watch a movie with your little ones. Positioned nearby to the lush De Koog forest, hikers will enjoy exploring the island thanks to the fantastic range of hiking trails that offer beautiful sights and sounds of the coast. Make sure you bring along a bike for the opportunity to cycle through Texel, with plenty of lanes that are suitable for cyclists. Spend the day at the beach with your family, listening to the hum of the ocean with some delicious ice cream. During the evenings, the terrace is the place to be. Put your feet up as the amber glow shines in the sky with a glass of red in one hand, and a book in the other. This is your time to relish in the peaceful hours of the day, as the island goes to sleep and the tide comes in.
