Houseboat holiday rentals in Amsterdam-Noord

The houseboat itself is a dream and superbly located, if on the one hand you love the beauty and tranquility of the countryside, sheep and green meadows on your doorstep, but on the other hand also like to go to the beach or to the cities. The train is quickly reached and that is a big plus in the parking situation in Amsterdam. Leonora and Erwin were easy to reach and always there for us when we had questions. Super friendly hosts! Thank you so much dear ones!

We thoroughly enjoyed a long weekend aboard Johan's houseboat, in a great location in the Jordaan! It was an experience simply not available in a hotel or B&B. We drank morning coffee and late afternoon cocktails on the deck whle soaking up the few remaining days of late summer sun. It was ideally located close to neighborhood restaurants, shops, and even weekend organic food and flea market, and a short walk to tourist attractions in the old city center. If not up for a longer walk along the canal to the museum quarter and beyond, a public transportation options were always available nearby. Communication prior to arrival and during our stay was proactive and prompt. The inside of the houseboat was even more spacious than we anticipated, and the beds were comfortable. We'll definitely opt for a stay here during our next visit to Amsterdam!

This is a beautiful houseboat in one of the best parts of Amsterdam. What a lovely experience to use a canal setting for our base of operations to see the city. Just fantastic in every way!

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

We absolutely loved our stay at Anouk’s place. It was extremely comfortable for 4 people and had a wonderful living space that felt comfortable and homely. We loved having access to the bikes and despite having inclement weather it was an easy ride to the wonderful Zaanse Schans and the old windmills. Quintessential Amsterdam! The jewel on the crown was when the rain finally stopped, we were able to experience the stunning canal view from the moored boat at the back. Unfortunately the weather hadn’t permitted us to use the boat to explore the other canals but it is definitely something we would love to do on a future visit. Anouk was fabulous at communicating and left comprehensive information for us to make the most of the area. We loved dining at her favourite restaurant and probably made our mark as we were leaving! (Another story!) Ha! We definitely caught the spirit of the place! Could not recommend this highly enough. Thanks for a fabulous stay 🙏🏽❤️

Wow. Pictures do not do this property justice. What a wonderful place to spend a few days!!

Great space, great host! Hadewych was so responsive and helpful. I just loved the charm of the boat, it was a really neat experience! The bed was SO comfortable, I slept wonderfully. I do wish the couch was more comfortable though, was not conducive to getting comfy after a long day out exploring. It is an older boat so smells a bit musty and a few cobwebs in the chandelier, but you are able to open the windows and get the fresh air in which is very nice. Kitchen was well equipped, just didn't have a freezer which I wanted to store ice and ice cream etc. Had a problem with the pump but Hadewych was quick to remedy the situation. The location was superb - there was a fantastic grocery right around the corner (the produce is delicious!!), a lot of restaurants, cafes, etc. Overall a really great experience that I will cherish!

What a fun experience! And what a terrific host! In a beautiful, quiet neighborhood. Lots of restaurants within walking distance. To say we got to stay on a houseboat in Amsterdam is always going to be a fun memory! But note, it is definitely a boat. You must be fully able bodied to access the boat and get around comfortably inside. The kitchen is suitable for snacks. And as with most European AirBnBs, bring your own bath products.

We had a great stay at Michael’s place, it was a beautiful house boat in a very peaceful quiet location. It was a good distance to walk to the free boat that runs to Amsterdam central. There was a free bottle of Prosecco in the apartment and Michael even bought us a second and some chocolate for a miscommunication on the first night. The bed was comfy and everything was spotlessly clean. We would definitely stay here again.

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.

We, three friends, spent three beautiful days in the floating house. The facility is modern and the house is well equipped. The terrace is also great, but not for people with arachnophobia. On the subject of cleanliness, there is still some room for improvement, but we still felt very comfortable.

We felt very comfortable. Great nature everywhere, very quiet, swimming opportunities and an ideal starting point especially for bike tours. Restaurants and supermarket nearby. I'm sure we'll be back.

Fern’s houseboat was AMAZING! Hands down my favorite Airbnb ever. Interior was beautiful and well kept. Location was close to so many shops, restaurants and the tram. Fern was very helpful and always responsive. Pepper was easily my favorite part of the stay though 😊 🐈‍⬛ ❤️

Great place with a beautiful view . The host was super helpful and always available when I called. Would definitely recommend

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!

Mandy’s place was exactly as described and was really well equipped - the sauna was a great bonus. It was really clean and the surrounding lake was a great place to take a break from the bustle of central Amsterdam, as well as the town of Aalsmeer having everything you need for a relaxing break. 10/10 wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.

What a great place! It is such an honor to be able to stay in a classical Amsterdam canal boat. You become part of the scene while you are enjoying the scene. The neighborhood is quiet and within walking distance of everything. There are great restaurants nearby and not far to the main museums. Patricia is a great host, and this place is a ‘traditional’ AirBnB in that this is her home that she moves out of to allow others to enjoy. In the heat we had during our stay she came and watered her outdoor plants, which we loved but did not pamper. She also shared some hidden gems of museums and restaurants that we would have missed. We would definitely stay here again.

Franky is responsible for the boats in Monickendamm and was absolutely great! He was always nearby or quickly reachable, gave great tips and showed us everything and helped us with everything! Unfortunately, the boat is always in the harbor, but it was still absolutely great and the place in the harbor was great, because the view was great and you can go swimming directly from the boat! The tender boat was also great, and we took a great tour through the canals and to the next town! The connection is great, you are in Amsterdam in 20-25 minutes by bus, which also runs until late in the evening, which means you can save yourself the parking in Amsterdam. Great!

One of the best Airbnb experiences I've had in my many travels. Erwin & Anita we're proactive & fantastic abr connecting... and as I identified interests they steered us to perfect recommendations in the area. Their home is modern & comfy... we're were actually sad leaving after the trip as it felt like a home away from home 💚 1000% highly recommend! Darrin

This location is highly recommended! We felt right at home and could enjoy the quiet environment, where we also received visits from a few ducks and swans. You just feel relaxed in this environment. Great for recharging, if you come from Amsterdam, for example. In the area, you have - within walking distance - nice restaurants, but also shops for groceries or fun shopping. Schiphol is nearby, but the air traffic could be heard from a distance. No problems. Beds were clean and exactly right in terms of hardness/softness. Kitchen had everything, so cooking is also possible. Bathroom was also spotlessly clean with a lovely shower cabin. In short, WS11 is listed with us as a super nice stay! Next to our location, we saw WS17 (also from Anne): it was bigger and also looked beautiful. Ideal for families. #recommended

Such a peaceful place to be on the water. Walking to the Bakkerij De 7 Heerlijkheden for cakes every day was a real treat too! Thanks Ronald and Sophia.

The Nova Team space is a great and comfortable space, with all the necessary utensils for a good stay. We had an unforeseen event with the keys and were promptly helped. The host was always available.

I would highly recommend this airbnb. It was absolutely incredible. I was instantly transported into the Dutch fantasy staying on this gorgeous house boat. The bed was really comfy which is a big deal. The boat had the most insane views from every window. I feel like photos don’t do this place justice. It was quiet, peaceful, walking distance to everything. It felt very safe. The hosts were responsive. I would likely stay here again if I ever come back.

Just as described! We really enjoyed getting to experience life on a canal boat! It had everything as listed. We were able to walk to everything we needed or easily took a tram. The view was so pretty!
