Forest Waves Texel, North Holland

Property Description

This home blends urban comforts with coastal charm. It's just a minute or two from the town centre, a collection of cosy cafes, restaurants and shops. Walk towards the sea and you'll reach the shore in just ten minutes, or head in land and find the mystery of the forest. It's like living in a Dutch fairytale.

We suggest bringing your bikes, or hiring some from the town centre, and exploring the region on two wheels. Make your way to the beach for sunbathing sessions on the golden sands, topped up by drinks from the beach bars. For the active types, there are water sports that allow you to traverse the water.

After a day at the beach, explore the forest's cycling and walking trails. Verdant plants and exotic flowers create an idyllic setting for a day of discovery. Once you're mastered the terrain, treat yourself to some delicious food in the town centre.

However you spend your days, the tranquil home is a sleepy haven. A cute garden terrace, adorned by an outdoor table, is an intimate spot to share food, drink and conversation.
