Houseboat vacation rentals in Westeinderplassen

What else to add?! Absolutely perfect. Wonderful host, helpful and friendly. Have enjoyed some tricked out spots over the years and this was perhaps the nicest yet. Amazing and delightful.

There were four of us on Jan's houseboat. The boat is in a quiet area, close to the Olympic center. Just outside, to the center of Amsterdam by metro about 20 minutes. The houseboat was cozy and clean, Jan personally greeted us on the first day and the contact was very nice. There are 4 bicycles available, but we did not use them as the Dutch have too fast a driving style...🫣 we had 4 great days in Amsterdam and on the houseboat.

This houseboat is wonderful and the perfect chilled get away just outside the city centre. Hosts were great with communication and the houseboat was better than we could’ve imagined. Great location with every type of public transport right on your doorstep or if the weather permits a nice walk back into town. 100% would recommend!

Lovely home Perfect neighborhood to stay if touring Amsterdam Host extremely responsive to any of our needs

Great houseboat, very spacious and has all you need, easy to catch the train into central Amsterdam in 15 minutes, nice to then be out of the busy areas and back to the peaceful boathouse, highly recommend

Incredible! Sleeping on a houseboat is a great experience, especially when it's so warm, beautiful, comfortable, with an exquisite taste for decoration! Waking up by the water with moorhens and ducks is really nice! The kids really enjoyed it! And the price is unbeatable compared to the quality of the home! And we are in the countryside, quiet, while being very close to the city. We recommend 200%!!!

Lovely place to stay. Very convenient for central Amsterdam. So relaxing next to water.

Beautiful houseboat in a great location and easy access to all of Amsterdam. The houseboat was warm and cosy and perfect for our short stay. Hanco is a great host

We were so lucky to be able to stay in such a beautiful place! The beds were comfy, the surroundings were peaceful and beautiful... it was a lovely escape from the busy, city-center. We LOVED the use of the kitchen and the deck just off the kitchen. Hein was so good to have bikes available for us. There is little available directly near the home but a 10 minute bike ride along the lovely road and over the bridge gets you to all you could want. We were sad to leave our Amsterdam home and will hope Hein's home is available when we return.

Fun little houseboat. We loved watching the ducks and swans. Great quiet location central to many places to visit.

Easy to find. Host speaks only Dutch, but has prepared well with a translation app. The location is very quiet and you can walk to the bus to Amsterdam

- [ ] This was truly the perfect place for our Amsterdam visit! The houseboat is serene, spacious, and cozy—we felt right at home from the moment we arrived. Our party of three adults had plenty of space for a comfortable stay. The neighborhood is lovely, with charming bars and coffee shops, yet still so close to all the main sights. The canal is peaceful at night, which made for incredibly restful sleep. Fern is an outstanding host—welcoming, gracious, and always quick to respond. We’d book again in a heartbeat and can’t recommend this houseboat enough!

If you are looking to stay on the river in a quiet neighbourhood - on a house boat - it doesn't get better than this. I loved waking up, peering out onto the water. Each morning the rowers are out, people running along the riverbank - it's incredibly peaceful yet full of life. This is a real boat, not a floating house so you have to navigate different levels inside, getting on and off the boat etc. All part of the charm. Martin is a fabulous host. Note: this is the old school airbnb of old - its Martin's home, beautifully appointed, spacious and generously kitted out - with the comfort of a 'lived in' feel. The upper deck is just delightful, full of light and windows and you can sit with your coffee and watch the river-world go by. The area is surrounded by park, but just nearby is a lovely high-street with shops, supermarkets, bars, restaurants and deli's. Trams will take directly into the centre of Amsterdam - everything you need - highly recommended!

Our stay at Claire’s place was nothing short of magical. The location is hard to beat in the heart of Jordaan, steps away from great Dutch cafes, every restaurant we ate at was within a ten minute walk, every one was fantastic. As well as minutes walk from transit. Somehow though being in the middle of everything, being on the water in this houseboat makes you feel like you’re in your own private oasis. Claire has great taste, her home is designed impeccably, with one of the major highlights being the record player, listening to classics like the Beatles, Bowie, The Doors while sitting on the back porch taking in the incredible view of the canal. Bonus was the most efficient washer dryer I used during my 3 week stay in Europe and the large dishwasher. Had we stayed longer, we would have cooked, there was a fully stocked Chefs kitchen. Thanks for the perfect end to our adventure!

Everything as advertised with prompt answers to any queries

We returned for a second long stay and it is still wonderful! Great location just far enough out of Centrum to be missing all the tourists but still close enough to easily get in there every day. Liz is a terrific communicator and it is super easy to get in and out. The house boat is very comfortable and well maintained. I hope to return next year!

We were happy to be there. Thank you Anne

We enjoyed the stay at the boat house a lot! The location is beautiful and we loved the views as well as accessibility to the places around. There are assigned co-hosts who are very responsive if you have any questions or issues, big thanks to Philo for helping us with everything and Nina for calling us to check up if everything is great. The boat has everything needed for a stay - comfy beds and sofa, toaster and coffee machine, bean bags to sit and cozy living room. The kitchen might not have enough pans, but overall is good if you prefer to cook on your own. It's not a 100inch TV as it was marked in the description due to typo, but it's pretty good if you want to watch some netflix or youtube at night. There is street parking nearby, which is quite pricey, but hosts can advise on the parking house nearby. We had a lovely stay and would love to come back again!

we had a great time ... only regret is not to have stayed longer

A good place, very comfortable, really, despite the distance. As accommodation, it's worth it. I would definitely come back. I would have liked to stay longer, but it's a perfect place to spend a vacation

We had a great time in the houseboat. From there you can start directly to sup tours or take the motorboat to Leiden. Annemiek is very nice and took us to the houseboat and showed us everything. Thank you so much for a lovely stay!

Even though we could not move the houseboat due to the season and rowboat and canoe were not needed at 5 C°, we had a very nice time on the houseboat. Nevertheless, it was nice and warm inside and very cozy with the wood-burning stove. It really has everything! Even a washing machine and dishwasher. Everything on the boat is well thought out and perfect for a family with 1-4 children for holidays on the water.

Very nice, large and super clean houseboat south of Amsterdam with good connections to the city and Schiphol airport. Nice to be close to the water with ducks simming by and nice views especially in the mornings with sunshine and a bit of fog over the water. The place is really large and with two bedrooms and a spacious bathroom surely great for four people. Francisco gave us very good instructions on how to find the place and the checkin was super easy. A supermarket it just three minutes by car and one passes it by when arriving from the motorway. Driving into Amsterdam takes about 20 minutes by car which makes the place a good location for people visiting Amsterdam but also the area south of the city. We enjoyed our stay very much. Thanks Francisco for having us as guests!

Very nice place to stay. There were two of us with two dogs and everything worked very well. We had one or two questions and they were answered immediately and helpfully. Our stay was very nice, we'll be happy to come back!
