Texel, island, close to the sea!

Texel is a fantastic place to visit—and it’s a UNESCO World Heritage site! Just search for Texel online to discover everything about our beautiful island.

We are experienced home-exchangers, living on the stunning island of Texel. The island offers unique nature, plenty of attractions for all ages, rich history, and charming local culture. Texel truly has everything for a wonderful holiday. Plus, it’s only 1 hour and 15 minutes from Amsterdam by car or train. The ferry is always a fun experience and takes just 20 minutes: www.teso.nl

Our home is a bright and comfortable family house with a large garden, located in a quiet, child-friendly neighborhood in Den Burg. The beach is just 5 minutes away by car or 15 minutes by bike. Supermarkets and other amenities are within walking distance, and shopping in Den Burg is always a pleasure.

The house is fully equipped with a kitchen featuring a dishwasher, oven, microwave, coffee/cappuccino machine, and a large utility room with washing machine and tumble dryer. There are five bedrooms, a bathroom with a bathtub and rain shower, and a sunny living room with piano, TV, game console, and a fireplace for cooler days. The terrace is very sunny, perfect for relaxing outdoors, and the garden is ideal for children. We also have plenty of toys, and there are several playgrounds nearby.

Texel is a biker’s paradise—you are welcome to use our bikes to explore the island. We can also discuss exchanging cars.
