Ideal vacation destination
Vakantiehuizen Texel offers charming accommodations, surrounded by forest and meadows. The estate of ‘t Mienthuis and Aldubo is centrally located against the Texel Pines. The forest is your front yard, and from the back, fields stretch out before you. The location is beautiful, and you can easily bike through the forest and dunes to the North Sea (2 km).
There’s plenty to do in the immediate surroundings, so you won’t always need to use the car. At Hoeve Consensus, near Den Burg, you can enjoy the outdoor life. You’ll have plenty of privacy in the garden, while horses graze in the meadows nearby. By the way, if you want to go on vacation with horses, that’s definitely an option, as owners Leonie and David run a guest stable on the property.

Discover Texel
The Texel forest
The Dennen is a beautiful forest, home to a variety of deciduous and pine trees, with a great diversity of plant and bird species. The forest was originally planted for timber, but today it’s mainly a lovely area for hiking. There are nature playgrounds, a tall observation tower, and a spacious barbecue area. Be sure to stop by ’t Turfveld, a bio-kiosk with delicious fries. The forest is an adventure for children and a perfect spot for a walk with your dog.
Beach and sea
When you're on Texel, you naturally head to the beach! The expansive sandy beaches of Texel are perfect for a long walk, where you'll lose track of time. Blonde dunes, crashing waves, and plenty of birds: what catches your attention? With a strong sea breeze, you can fly a kite or hit the water for some windsurfing. Along the beach sections, you'll find cozy beach pavilions where you can have lunch, dinner, or try a local Texel beer.
Villages
From the accommodations at Vakantiehuizen Texel, you can easily bike to Den Burg, Den Hoorn, and De Koog. Each village has its own charm. Museums, lovely shops, and restaurants. De Koog is by the sea and a true seaside resort. Den Hoorn is located by the dunes and has a historic character. Den Burg is the 'main town' with many amenities. Be sure to take a trip to northern Texel, to Oosterend or De Cocksdorp.
Texel Dunes National Park
Texel Dunes National Park is a unique natural area full of variety. From the beach plain of De Hors to the lighthouse, you'll find beautiful nature here. There are dozens of kilometers of cycling, walking, and riding paths through the National Park. Go on an adventure and be surprised by vast dunes, the fragrant pine forest, and colorful heathlands. Bird lovers will also find plenty to enjoy here!
Private gardens
An island lies at your feet, but sometimes you just want to do nothing. That’s possible: after all, it's vacation! The accommodations at Vakantiehuizen Texel come with a spacious private garden. Surrounded by greenery, you can relax or read a book. From expansive views over meadows full of horses to a glimpse of Den Hoorn or the rich canopy of De Dennen: nature takes center stage.
Wadden Sea
The east side of the island is a bird paradise. As the sea retreats, thousands of birds forage in the nutrient-rich mud. Crabs, shrimp, mussels, worms: it’s one big restaurant. While a flock of wading birds draws intricate patterns in the sky, you’ll be enchanted by the unique light. This part of Texel is still wonderfully quiet: sit back on the dike and enjoy!
Vacation with your horse
Riding along the beach, through forest paths, or across historic landscapes. It sounds wonderful, and it truly is! Vakantiehuizen Texel offers a unique experience. Bring your own horse to our island and enjoy an unforgettable holiday. At Hoeve Consensus, you are most welcome. You can stay in the apartment (4 people) or the B&B.
In the spacious guest stable, there’s room for your horse. There’s also a meadow or paddock available as desired. All horses are fed in the morning and evening, of course, with high-quality roughage. Owners David and Leonie ensure a carefree stay and are happy to provide tips on the best horse riding routes.
