Waterfront vacation rentals in Utrecht

This was a fun, unique stay. My friend and I booked this as one night away from the city. It was perfect. It is right by the canal, offering a beautiful view of the water and streets above. This place is well situated in the older part of the city, but you have access to the train station within 15 minutes of booking. We did a walking tour of Utrecht and very much enjoyed our time there. The place itself inside somewhat feels like a basement, because, well, it sort of is one. The ceilings are sort of low, and most of the floor is cement. The bathroom and shower are sort of a strange set up. With all of that to say, the hosts have done an impressive job creating what once may have been a storage area into a great setup for guests. The bed was comfortable, and there was space for many more to stay if needed. I would definitely stay here again if in the area.

Naarden is SUCH a beautiful place and we wouldn’t have found a more primal location if we tried. Between the location and the beautiful flat, you can’t ask for more. The price is a bargain, and our host was such a kind and thoughtful host. We felt right at home, and were hoping to come back next year!

Everything has been great. Kim has communicated in a positive way from booking to departure.

Thank you Rob for your hospitality, we loved staying at your place!

My partner and I stayed at Sylvia and Lex B&B in Utrecht for a week to attend a conference and we both found it charming and very comfortable. Sylvia was a very personable host and we always had very good communications. We so appreciated all the extras like wine and local beer, fresh eggs, bread, and meats and cheese as well the coffee and teas. We both slept comfortably and had no problem following instructions for heating or various appliances. What makes this place so special is it's location right on the canal in the heart of Utrecht. Even with the cooler weather we enjoyed every day! All of the artworks and books in the flat also create a unique visual experience - I love the grasshopper drawing! Utrecht is a very special place and staying here, in the medieval center with the bells chiming and boats floating by on the canal are incredibly memorable and romantic. Thank you again, we highly recommend!

One of the most beautiful places I’ve been to. Fantastic nature, close to the major cities Utrecht and Amsterdam, cca 30 minutes by car to either one. The apartment is on the roof of the building, surrounded by succulents and flowers. The view from the apartment is breathtaking. The nature park part of the lake is a must see. The staff is very helpful and friendly, we will be back for sure!

The location was great! It was 10 min. walk to train station. There were plenty of restaurants within walking distance. Grocery store is located around the corner. The place was comfortable and each bedroom had its own shower. Would definitely stay here again.

Apartment is just as advertised and is in a great location. Would recommend this.

We spent 3 nights in the cottage. Very nice tastefully decorated and very well furnished cottage with car accessibility and parking. Gite located in a very pretty city, within walking distance and with all the necessary shops. Gite near Amsterdam (20 minutes to access a P+R) but also close to Utrecht. Perfect!

Richard and Brenda are very welcoming hosts, no question is too much and they are very proactive. Upon arrival, the Jacuzzi turned out to be broken, but the boat was then offered free of charge, and we were able to do a lovely trip on the lakes. the house feels like a home, everything is in the house to make it a nice stay (kitchen supplies, herbs, etc but also board games, a Wii,...) definitely recommend staying here

We had a wonderful 4-night stay at this lovely house with my wife and our two kids. The place was clean, cozy, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The neighborhood was peaceful and safe, which made it perfect for a family getaway. The kitchen was well-equipped, the beds were comfortable, and the living area was spacious enough for all of us to relax together. Our kids especially loved the little backyard where they could play. Communication with the host was smooth and friendly throughout. We truly felt at home and would definitely love to come back again, thank you Anna.

It’s nice quiet place with friendly people (the hosts as well as the people around). There is a bar / restaurant right next door, but it’a open only 10am - 5pm. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you need. The beds are comfortable. The only minor drawback is that there is a nice fireplace outside, but there is no wood.

The stay in this house was very nice! It's a really quiet and private place. You can sit outside, there are bicycles at your disposal and inside it is cozy. We could walk beautifully nearby. The house was clean, the communication was good and fast and the bed is really nice!! It is also mouse quiet at night. Recommended!

It was a very special experience to stay in this beautiful house, which we will remember for a long time. Thank you!

We had the absolute best time staying at Nicolette’s beautiful home! She was so wonderful and made sure that we had everything we needed. The location is beautiful situated with the best river view and the town of Maarssen is just a few minutes down the road. We would highly recommend that anyone visiting this area should stay here! Nicolette is very kind and is a wonderful and attentive host!!!!

We had a short, very nice New Year's Eve stay with Gerard with great views of the fireworks over the water. The apartment is modern and beautifully decorated and has a large dining and living area. In particular, the kitchen is equipped with everything you need. Gerard responded quickly and helpfully to inquiries. Definitely recommended!

Wonderfully enjoyed in a nice apartment in the beautiful city center of Amersfoort, more central than this you can't find it 😊

Lovely spacious place, incredibly clean with provided entertainment in the form of board games and video games. Would highly recommend to anyone!

Lots of space and great location if you plan to drive around. The view of the canal was very fun to have.

The apartment is very well equiped and tastefully decorated. It has a beautiful view over one of the principal canals and is close to the beginning of the main street of the historic center, with plenty of restaurants. It is a fairly long walk from the Utrecht Centraal station, but it is very close to the Vaartsche Rijn station and you can catch Sprinter trains that stop at Vaartsche Rijn. The laudromats within a 15 to 20 minute walk are worthless. One has some outdoor machines at a car wash, where you are supposed to download an app to make the machines work but the app assumed you are already registered and provides no way for you to open a new account. The other laundromat had half the machines broken and when we put in money to use one of the other machines that one turned out to be broken as well and there was no way to get our money back. Overall, this is a great place to stay, but make sure you wash your clothes before or after your stay.

Linda was great and her place is incredible! The location is perfect - in the main area yet totally quiet and beautifully located on a canal. Linda herself welcomed us in, showed us the place, and even pointed out some local things to do (with maps). & She even provided us with some delicious goodies. Overall, a dream stay in a dream location!

Maxime's apartment is very nice and equipped, in line with the photos and very comfortable. Maxime was very helpful and gave us a lot of information on how to get to Amsterdam and what to do. The house is in a very nice location, definitely beautiful in the summer. We stayed at New Year's Eve and it was perfect as a foothold and then visit Amsterdam.l, easily reachable by car in less than 30 minutes. Highly recommended.

Michiel and Rosa are such lovely people. We felt right at home in the apartment due to a super Sweet welcome gift. Everything looked cared for and tidy. The communication was excellent and it was always nice to have a chat with Michiel and Rosa. The location of the apartment is great and the area looks like a postcard. Just a super nice experience to stay here. Even in winter. We're going to miss them but are very happy that they have been a part of our trip. Lots of love from Daan and Mariaan

Very nice place in a great location with a very warm welcome. Thank you!
