Houseboat holiday rentals in Gooise Meren

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!

I cannot recommend this boat enough. I wish I was back there right now! What a lovely surprise that it's even better than the photos. Extremely clean, excellent finish, very unique and an overall beautiful space. Location is lovely, a short walk to everything and easy tram access if you don't feel like walking. Leaving the best till last... Sietske is a wonderful and kind host. She couldn't do enough for us and made us feel extremely welcome. Thank you so much for helping make a big birthday even more special!!

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

We had a great stat at Karina’s boat house. It is probably one of the more unique locations we’ve stayed at. From the Central traine station you jump on the free ferry across the channel and then walk for about 5 mins to get to the boathouse. There are bars and restaurants close to the hose. On the same street as the boathouse is the ONS restaurant/bar which is really worth a stop. The boathouse is small but it has a small kitchenette and a roomy bathroom. There is a terrace right outside the door that rests on the water. Beautiful place to have a morning coffee or an apperitif in the evening. The sleeping arrangements were fun and definately something new for us. Somewhat nostalgic as you climb a ladder to get up to the bunkbed like mezzanine bed. Felt like a kid again! The neighborhood is quiet and tucked away from the hussle and bussle of downtown Amsterdam. Yet it only takes a quick walk and a 4 mins ferry ride to be right in the middle of everything. Highly recommend!

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

The Musard is a magical houseboat in one of the most lovely locations in all of Amsterdam. And while we LOVE wandering Amsterdam, we were constantly tempted to stay on board and just hang out on the top deck. Inside, the Musard is *super cool*, but you need to remember that it really is a boat and that brings about certain elements that you need to be aware of. 1) You need to be able to get up and down boat-type stairs. Just face the stairs on the way down - like on a boat - and you'll be fine. 2) I'm 5'4" and I still had to worry about my head in a few places. It's not a problem at all, but if you are super tall you'll need to be a bit more careful 3) You'll need to be gentle on the plumbing. Again, not a problem if you are a bit careful. The host was awesome and responsive. This is one of the best Airbnbs we've ever stayed at and we would highly recommend it. The immediate surroundings are beautiful and PACKED with amazing restaurants. You can book this and be certain you'll love it!

My family and I had such a wonderful stay on Richard En Birgit's boat. An absolutely perfect location, so many things to do, and so walkable. The boat was so clean and provided the right amount of space for our stay. Thank you so much for hosting us!

Fantastic place. So many cosy cubby holes and straight onto a floating pontoon with swans and ducks floating by. Easy walk to the free(!) ferry across the river to the centre of Amsterdam.

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 had a wonderful weekend with Justin. We felt comfortable immediately and everything was very clean. From the accommodation, you can easily make excursions to Leiden, The Hague or the sea. The place is very private and quiet. Justin always responded quickly to our messages and was flexible with check-in and check-out times. I will recommend the accommodation! 😊

Very peaceful accommodation, the only noises you will hear will be those of ducks and geese. Listing is as described. Everything you need for a pleasant stay. Carla is very responsive. She greeted us when we arrived and had planned small treats for us, which we found very friendly. We would highly recommend and will definitely make a new stopover when we return to the country!

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 😊 🐈‍⬛ ❤️

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!

We had a great time on Mandy's houseboat. It was so clean and convenient with beautiful water views. We enjoyed the sauna, the comfortable bed, and Mandy was extremely communicative. Highly recommended!

A lovely houseboat out of the busy fray of Amsterdam with easily accessible public transportation, cafes and restaurants. The birdlife on the canal was a pleasure, including 5 recently hatched baby coots. Liz gave us proper food to give the parents and we enjoyed watching them feed their offspring. Great break from museums and all the activities of Amsterdam.

Great accommodation near Amsterdam
