Family house near Amsterdam, Haarlem and beach!
It was a great experience. I want to thank Maartje for everything :) And see you next year during Dutch GT!

30min from Amsterdam &beach8 beds
We arrived from Canada for my Niece's wedding. We needed accommodations for five, hotels were not an option with our number. Frank from early on said he could easily accommodate more which he could. Frank was such a great host. He met us explained where everything was inside the Air B N B and in Castricum. For the price and location you can't do any better. We will definitely try to come again when there is no wedding to attend.

Charming house near Zaanse Schans
We spent a family weekend with four in Tine and Reinout's house. It is a very cozy, cheerful and lively house. It feels like you're in a real family home where it's good to get together. We took advantage of Amsterdam as much as the beautiful environment of Zansee-Schanz, and also Tine's recommendations for discovering the surrounding area. Tine and Reinout were very available and gave us a warm welcome, which just makes us want to come back!

semi-detached house. Unsuitable for children
My family and I felt right at home. It was absolutely as described. Very idyllic, quiet and as soon as the sun came out a dream to spend time outside. Anita was super sweet and even brought some cake. It was really great and this beautiful property just a dream.

“The White Tulip” Detached cottage with garden
From start to finish our stay was absolutely lovely! The inside decor is so tasteful and stylish, it’s very easy to tell a lot of hard work and love has been poured into the place. The scenery is so beautiful, tranquil and just simply peaceful, the perfect place if you want a romantic getaway.We want to say a special thank you to Ruud, who kept in contact with us from the moment we booked to the minute we left. He helped us with travelling to the cottage, and advised us on the best route. He greeted us, with a huge smile, a handshake and took us on a detailed tour of the cottage, taking time to carefully explain how the different machines worked and how to use the heating etc. When we did bump into him in the garden, which is a beautiful extra, with a nice pond and lovely seating, he was so warm and funny, making us feel right at home. The best stay we’ve had in Amsterdam, and definitely would return x

Big ModernFamily House 100m2, 20 min. to Amsterdam
Our stay with Ed was Absolutely Amazing! Ed was a great host, He met us the day of the check in and gave us a tour around the apartment, explained everything in detail, and answer all the questions we had. He even drove us to the supermarket and waited for us. This is a great place, is the best location, nice and quiet but like 20 mins from Amsterdam. Walking distance to the train station, supermarkets, nice restaurants with variety of cuisine. The apartment is spotless, clean and stylish, better than it looks in the pictures. A kitchen with all the items you need and more, beautiful and well presented. Comfortable beds and a bathroom and a half, with all the amenities you need for a great, comfortable stay. Definitely recommend this place if you are planning a trip to Amsterdam. The best host ever!!!

House 70m2 with private garden
We had a lovely short stay. Host was welcoming and very nice. There are many locations nearby worth visit. Lots of places to go for walks.
Houseboat rentals in Amsterdam

Woonboot / Houseboat
This place felt like a lucky find! We wish we had more spare time to enjoy the spot, but hopefully we will be back again. Totally recommended :)

Stay at this Houseboat in Utrecht!
Lies and Peter’s house boat was just as described and made for a relaxing and comfortable home base for our family of four. Lies greeted us to show us around and give recommendations. There are two grocery markets about five minutes on foot and the bus stop is three minutes away. Kannalstraat is close by and has many restaurants and more produce markets. We loved our stay and fell in love with Utrecht. We highly recommend La Luna Buurboot.

Luxerious yet cosy houseboat
Albert was great communicating with us in advance.. his houseboat is nice and cozy. the road blockage is a little annoying adding to our walk, but it was not added big deal and we enjoyed every minute of our stay. the place is comfy, everything works, and is really convenient. highly recommend

Houseboat Tante Piet 2 bedrooms & 2 bathrooms
Had an amazing stay in Sietske’s houseboat for our last night in Amsterdam. There were lovely restaurants and bars within walking distance, and the boat is very close to central station! Sietske helped us to check in early and was very kind in giving us local recommendations. A lovely stay!

Poellodge XL, houseboat met whirlpool en sauna
We had a wonderful stay on Erica's houseboat:) The houseboat is very tastefully decorated and offers a lot of details to discover. Highlight is the very well equipped kitchen. The hot tub and sauna invite you to relax and are very clean like the rest of the houseboat:) The surroundings are very quiet, so you think time stops on the houseboat. We also particularly enjoyed Erica's really very quick response to any questions that came up. We will be happy to come again :)

Lake view houseboat in Vinkeveen!
The boat is comfortable, in a peaceful environment and large enough for 2 adults and 3 children and quite as described. It was our base for visiting Amsterdam, Haarlem. Great rental!

Amsterdam romantic house boat
We had a great time on the houseboat. Very peaceful setting, you need a car to get there, or alternatively a bike. She was very helpful with all questions and requests we had.

Lovely new, stylish houseboat near Amsterdam
It was really easy to communicate with Manon through the air b&b app. Her house boat is lovely and fits the description perfectly. There is everything on board the boat for a very comfortable stay. I would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Amsterdam or the surrounding areas and hopefully we will be back again some day. Thank you Manon. :)

Your guide to Amsterdam
All About Amsterdam
Whether you’re snacking on sweet stroopwafels and browsing the antiques at Noordermarkt or taking in a boundary-pushing dance performance at a local theater, Amsterdam combines old and new at every turn. You’ll find world-class museums, including the Anne Frank House and the Rijksmuseum, 17th-century canal houses, stunning industrial architecture, and vibrant cafes overlooking the city’s famous canals — where the water can turn into makeshift ice rinks in the winter. The canal district of Nine Streets showcases independent boutiques, while the city’s major squares, Leidseplein and Rembrandtplein, are brimming with nightlife. If you’re looking for some greenery, Hortus Botanicus is one of the world’s oldest botanical gardens.
For a bird’s eye view of the city, head to the panoramic observation deck of the multi-use space A’dam Lookout where you can also ride on Europe’s highest swing, Over the Edge, more than 325 feet above ground.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Amsterdam
For a kaleidoscopic show of famous Dutch tulips, head to your Amsterdam rental in the spring. This is also when you’re less likely to encounter rain, although the city’s weather is famously hard to predict — an umbrella and waterproof jacket are musts here. Summer brings everyone outside, whether they’re biking into the surrounding countryside, soaking up some sun on a canal boat, or chilling at a waterfront café. Koningsdag (King’s Day) on April 27 is a national celebration of epic proportions. Join the locals by dressing in orange — the color of the Netherlands — and soaking up the festive atmosphere as people line the canals and set up stalls outside their homes. Later in the year, June gathers international artists and musicians all month long for the Holland Festival. During winter time, Amsterdam’s oceanic climate brings cold, blustery weather.
Top things to do in Amsterdam
Electric Ladyland
Tucked away behind the Anne Frank House and beneath an art gallery, Electric Ladyland claims to be the first museum dedicated to fluorescence. Head here for in depth insight into the science behind phosphorescence, from small-scale minerals to all-encompassing experiences where you become part of the art. Just be sure to book ahead, as appointments are the only way to visit.
Amsterdamse Bos
This 2,500-acre forest is one of Europe’s largest city parks. Here you’ll find miles of walking and cycling paths, pretty bridges to stroll across, as well as areas for hockey, tennis, cricket, football, and swimming. Plus there are a number of spots here for refueling and relaxing, including cafes, restaurants, and a spa.
Amsterdam-Oost
This vibrant East Amsterdam district strikes a balance between historic and hip. Sandwiched between the Amstel Canal and the historic Jewish Quarter, you’ll find galleries featuring work by Dutch creatives, a stunning concert hall, and restaurants featuring cuisine from around the world. You could easily spend a day here wandering past the grand fountains in Oosterpark, going shopping at the area’s vintage and design-focused stores, browsing the 100-year-old street market known as Dappermarkt, grabbing a coffee at a canal cafe, and checking out the quirky bars and breweries.
