Houseboat holiday rentals in Lauriergracht

Great boat house. Good location .

By far the most beautiful place we have stayed during our travels! We can’t recommend enough and it was worth every penny.

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!

We had a lovely time on Peter's houseboat. The location is great. Only a 15 minute walk to the station and the center yet incredibly peaceful. Everything we needed was available and we enjoyed the first rays of the spring sun on the dock in front of the houseboat. The daily visit from a group of geese was quite the highlight for our little boy. Peter welcomed us when we first arrived and was very accommodating and responsive to our questions. We explored the corners of Utrecht and beyond with the bike and can only recommend this lovely city. So many beautiful historic buildings, lovely canals and quaint little cafes and shops. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to others.

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 wonderful time at Anouk's houseboat. I was debating before booking if I should rather stay in the city but it was totally worth a train ride from Amsterdam Centraal to be in the nature. The grocery store is 3 minute bike ride so we could easily get things to cook and fix up a pasta dinner with a bottle of wine when we were tired of eating out and rather just wanted to relax watching the ducks and water lilies on the canal. The access was so private we didn't hear any traffic or other people. After all day walking around in Amsterdam full of tourists it was a nice way to close the day. My teenage kids really loved pausing and taking photos on the boat with beautiful water background to brag about to their friends later. One surprise was Zaanse Schans was so close. We rode bikes there and it was super easy. Beautiful brick streets and watching a boat goes under a drawbridge made it even more enjoyable.

There were five of us on site for an extended weekend and felt right at home. Everything was as described and visible in the pictures. Marie is very hospitable. Her houseboat offers a perfect place to relax and feel good. All around a successful weekend. We will be happy to come back.

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.

I am an Airbnb heavy user. I have to say that this was one of my best stays in Amsterdam. It was my first time in a house on the water. The experience was amazing as the natural beauty of the water pulse the upscale design of the house made our stay close to a dream come true. The layout of the house (3 different floors) gave total independence to my daughter (15) and me and the integrated living room with a complete kitchen gave us the freedom to purchase our own preferred items for breakfast or dinner. We only stayed 3 days…I could stay forever in such a place.

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.

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.

Great house boat which was well equipped on the outskirts of the city centre with good transport links into the city, the Nova team were quick to respond to any questions/queries we had and would absolutely recommend to others. Thankyou Nova Team

Such a peaceful few days on Lies's houseboat. Perfect for our group of five adults. Lies made really excellent restaurant recommendations which we really enjoyed. Very close to shops and buses, not far to main station. Excellent for cycling.

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!

What a lovely peaceful family home. Felt very happy staying here thank you Richella and family

We had two wonderful days in Anouk's lovely houseboat. It had everything we needed and was clean and nice. Very comfortable beds and a very nice welcome. We loved the opportunity to use the little boat and went on beautiful trips in both directions from the houseboat's place in the canal. We also greatly appreciated the service with the four bikes that were included. Use them for a trip in beautiful surroundings along canals and visits to the next city. We had dinner two nights at the little restaurant across the street that had very good food. There is a lot to see and experience by boat or bike at a reasonable excursion distance. Very nice, we would gladly recommend it. We were two couples who lived in the boat and were in the company of a third couple who in turn rented a room in Zaandijk nearby. It was close and there was no problem for us to socialize despite different accommodations.
