Family-friendly holiday rentals in Haarlemmermeer

Beautiful and super comfortable house for a family stay, with canal front and very manicured garden in a quiet and very beautiful village. 30 minutes drive to Amsterdam. Bike tours can also be made from De Rijp. Easy communication with the host, always available. Three handmade cats keep you company during your stay :)

Fred and Kelly’s place is absolutely wonderful. We stayed because the price was better and there was a little more room than many places directly in the city. Though we looked forward to it, we didn’t expect to fall in love with it…and we did! Staying outside of the city is pretty great. It’s a 10ish minute walk to the train station, and then an easy navigation to wherever you need to go. We didn’t mind the “commute” a bit, and it was nice to start off and wind down in a quieter setting. The place itself is well kept, clean, and cozy. The beds were comfortable and the shower was hot with good pressure. We enjoyed casting Netflix on the TV with the fireplace on in the evenings, and we spent a couple of mornings in the garden. We booked this spot our entire stay, but also spent one night in Amsterdam to experience “city life,” and also spent one night in Utrecht. These were perfect additions to our home base plan. I’d definitely stay here again!

We felt comfortable. We liked the private garden and the open tastefully furnished living area. Of course, the cat Poppy was the highlight for our kids. Poppy is a friendly and easy-care cat. As described, the connection to the beach is really great and quickly accessible. There are also many ways to do things and excursions. There was always a friendly and quick exchange with hosts. It was very nice.

We stayed in the apartment for a weekend and felt very comfortable. With the bikes you could easily reach the nearby metro station and we had a good time in Amsterdam. The landlords were very friendly and always easy to reach. I highly recommend this place for Amsterdam stays.

We had a lovely time in the cottage. The garden is completely fenced, so even small kids can go out without a care. With the stroller, you can get to Nordwijk within 40 minutes, there are small sandy areas where we had to carry it. And of course a few hills through the dunes.

This is a great house just 15 minutes walk or 5 minutes cycle to the centre of Haarlem. It’s also really easy to access the nearby beaches. It’s in a quiet neighbourhood. There’s a very good supermarket just a few minutes walk away. The house is extremely well equipped and comfortable. Ilan is a great host, available to help whenever needed. We’d be extremely happy to stay here again.

Beautiful cottage, great location with a private garden with hot tub and barbecue. Very good kitchen equipment. Beach within walking distance. We had a great time!

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.

Very nice apartment and location, only thing is that the stairs were extremely steep.

Everything was great, location & view and the cute beautiful house! I karen was so accommodating and great, offered early check in and agreed to late check out, very responsive to queries! We loved our stay!

Hello, we had a warm welcome when we arrived, and Anita waited for us, because we were a little late at arriving. Very kindly to us. We are 3 older couples and we felt us immediately at home. Everything was there what we need for our stay. The most time we cooked in the good kitchen, wonderful to eat in the nice living room. The neighborhood is very silence, the northsee is 5 km away, haarlem 2,3 km. We really enjoyed our stay. Rainer

This is the best air bnb we have stayed in. The house was impeccable - clean, comfortable and we felt completely at home. This is a family home but there was no clutter or anything else that would make you feel you were impinging on someone’s personal items. The area is fab - close to the beach, which we visited, and 2 mins to the train station for trains to central Amsterdam in 15 mins. There is a local bakery, butcher, lovely ice cream shop and big supermarket 2 mins walk away. It is 5 mins on the train to Haarlem which is huge - lots of small boutique shops and chain shops. The area is lovely - really safe and quiet. Jan-Kees is the most amazing host. He is so responsive - we set up a what’s app and he always replied instantly. He had so many tips for where to eat and where to go. We will be back to visit those places we missed. The children loved the cat and the chickens! Thank you Jan-Kees and family for all your help and for allowing us to stay in your wonderful home ☺️

Inge’s place is thoughtfully decorated and cozy! Our kids loved playing in her beautiful garden and my older daughter loved playing the piano in the living room. We also loved that there were two playgrounds nearby so our 4 and 9 year old had fun playing. Her place was convenient to the bus stop, a local restaurant, local grocery, all under a 10 min walk. The neighborhood was peaceful and quiet. It gave us a taste of living in the suburbs of Amsterdam. Her son, Sammie, was responsive to my questions as was Inge. Our family had a great time! Thanks again, Inge and family! One thing to note and totally not host’s fault is that the staircase is winding and a bit narrow. When having young kids that are not used to such stairs, it was a little tricky at times.

Meggy was a very attentive host, ensuring that we had all the information that we needed for checking in and out of the property. The house is exactly as described and is a lovely family home which is welcoming and clean. It is situated in a great location with lots of nice cafes and restaurants which Meggy had recommended. This property was perfect for our trip to watch the Dutch Grand Prix as it is far enough from Zandvort that it avoids the chaos of the crowds but it is also very close to good public transport for a short journey into Zandvort or into Amsterdam. We would highly recommend staying here to anyone looking at visiting any of the surrounding areas.

We had a great time at Anitas home. Everything we needed was there.

Perfect home for the 5 of us. Close to train and bus for trips to Harlem, Amsterdam and elsewhere. Nice quiet neighborhood. Appreciated recommendation to rent bikes from Behind the Beach. They had both standard and electric bikes. If it’s your first time to Holland remember the homes have very steep narrow stairs to second and third level but this home also has sturdy hand rails! Thanks for a great stay!

The house boat was just as it looked in the pictures! It was very spacious and comfortable for our family of 4. It was perfect how the kids sort of had their side, or wing, and my husband and I had our space in the master bedroom, on the other side. We all slept very well! We loved the cats, Skip & Bo. We are animal people, so it was fun having them come and go, and socialize and snuggle with us! The views were amazing and there were plenty of spots to just chill when we weren't out exploring. The house boat was very walkable to many fun spots and different areas. We definitely felt like we were staying in someone's home versus a rental. Enjoyed all of the personal touches in the kitchen as well! We would go back in a heartbeat and recommend Joost's place without hesitation!

Marcel was super friendly and helpful. The accommodation is very nice with a large garden. The evenings could be spent outside by the campfire and in the whirlpool. Perfect place to relax.

Evelien was wonderful, kind and helpful. The apartment was just as it was described and the pictures are what you enter as well! Perfect apartment for us and our little girl 15 months old. the bed was soooo comfortable! the apartment was clean and well looked after. we didn't hear any noise apart, it was incredibly peaceful.

We felt right at home at Willem‘s place. Loved the beachy feel of the house, the individual decoration, you can see he feels at home here as well. The proximity to the city and train station came in very handy (10min walk), the bed was very comfortable, the little garden area cute and I had no issues working remotely with his internet access. The neighborhood is lively during the day and quiet during the night. The self-checkin was very convenient for our early arrival and very early departure. Haarlem has a great vibe and we would certainly return.

Couldnt fault the tiny house. We felt so far away from the world, yet on the doorstep to everything. Nancy couldnt of been more helpful. Anything we needed was answered. The chickens were a bonus.

Great location lovely home. All family have had the best time. You definitely recommend!

We Gad a wonderful Time aboard Laura and John’s boat. Beautiful and calm neighborhood, yet easily and quickly accessible by bike from Amsterdam city center. Would highly recommend !

Location is nice but many aircrafts flying above. Except of that, green quiet area to relax. Apartment is small but everything listed is available. If you don't spend all day inside it's more than enough to relax between your outside activities
