Family-friendly holiday rentals in Oudegracht

Marieke and Den have created a surreal, warmly welcoming paradise. The place is even more beautiful than in the photos - spotlessly clean, thoughtfully designed, and full of mindful, aesthetic details. The beauty lies not only in the decor but also in the little things: the carefully curated books, the wide variety of teas, and the fresh garden herbs available for use. We had contact with both Marieke and Den, and they radiate genuine kindness - while still giving you all the privacy you need. It’s a haven of peace, nature, and presence - the perfect place to find rest and reconnect with yourself. A true place of Zen.

The location was great, walking distance to trains and trams to get to the heart of Amsterdam. Far enough away to be quiet for nights in. Nancy was very communicative even though she was on holiday. Easy parking if you drive in and plenty of space for 5, especially if someone doesn’t mind the couch. Would be great for 3 couples. Amazing showers 😁

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!

Wir waren für ein Wochenende in der Wohnung und haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Mit den Fahrrädern konnte man die nahe gelegene Metrostation gut erreichen und wir haben eine gute Zeit in Amsterdam gehabt. Die Vermieter waren sehr freundlich und immer gut erreichbar. Ich kann diese Unterkunft für Amsterdam Aufenthalte sehr empfehlen.

Schöne Unterkunft für eine große Gruppe von Freunden! Gerne wieder.

Plenty of room, quiet neighborhood. The M5 bus made our commute to Train then Amsterdam easier. (Approx 1 hour). Loved the 2 free bikes available for us to use. The sauna was a lovely bonus to use at night to relax. Moniek’s was resourceful and actively answering our questions. Alot of gadget in the house, no cable on TV so it was hard for my elderly parents to figure out how to use an intelligent tv with Netflix and all but we managed differently. Area was really nice close to the house but Almere centrum gets a bit suspicious at night so be aware to not be a women alone at night coming back -even locals fidy not recommended.

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.

Fijn appartement met heerlijke jacuzzi in een afgesloten deel van de tuin. Heel privé en heerlijk voor een weekendje weg uit het drukke dagelijkse leven. Fijne keuken, prima bed en goeie douche. Zelfs een wasmachine (niet gebruikt maar toch).

I’m emotional about leaving this absolute treasure of a rental- wish we could stay forever. We booked Darley’s on the recommendation of well-traveled local friends who literally *moved* to Hilversum after staying here and told us it was the best Airbnb of all time. (These friends also know that I’m finicky about vacation rentals and generally prefer hotels.) I’m SO glad we listened to them. This is, without a doubt, the most beautiful, well-appointed, lavish, thoughtfully stocked, gorgeously furnished, comfortable Airbnb ever, and now I’m probably ruined for all others. It could have been half as incredible for twice the price - we’d still be delighted. I’ve never felt more at home while traveling. We had all the privacy, comfort, provisions, fresh flowers and fruit, random fun perks, great water pressure, immaculate cleanliness, inspiring corners, luxurious linens, and other copious supplies we didn’t know we needed. Thank you, Marielise, for the Airbnb experience of a lifetime. WOW.

This place is so adorable! It has an amazing terrace, and right in the center of the city with so much to do. The place was so comfortable and had all the amenities we would have needed. I would highly recommend this place if you’re looking to explore Amsterdam!

The pictures don’t do justice to the actual house ! Super comfortable home and the perfect hosts ! If you have a baby, this is just the place to book without thinking twice !!

Wir waren jahrelang auf einem Hausboot in Amsterdam, das der Eigentümer mittlerweile aber selbst bewohnt und nicht mehr vermietet. Also haben wir uns nach einer Alternative in der "kleineren Schwester" Utrecht umgesehen und sind bei Pauline und Raymond gelandet. Das Boot liegt in einem Vorort von Utrecht, ist aber mit dem Bus gut zu erreichen (fährt alle 15 min) und liegt sehr schön in der Natur. Wir waren zu viert und hatten viel Platz, konnten sowohl unter als auch auf Deck gut sitzen, das Badezimmer ist für ein Hausboot geradezu riesig, die Betten super, die Küche gut ausgestattet. Der einzige Wehmutstropfen war für uns, dass wir in Nieuwegein kein vernünftiges Café oder Restaurant gefunden haben, aber schließlich wollten wir ja Utrecht erkunden, und dafür ist die Lage gut. Uns hat es so gut gefallen, dass wir wohl bald mal wieder hinfahren werden. Vielen Dank an Pauline und Raymond!

Andrew was the best host! He was so helpful with recommendations and was always responsive if we had any questions. He also gave thorough instructions ahead of time to ensure a smooth check-in and stay! The apartment was beautiful - just like the photos on the listing and we were very comfortable as a group of 4. The location was amazing too - very close to busier shopping streets but on a peaceful and quiet street. Cannot recommend enough! 10/10

Jeanette was the perfect host , helpful on all scales

I just love the area, so that's why I chose this place. It's an adorable little cottage on their estate, with plenty of peace and quiet. In terms of amenities, I didn't miss anything. Well, actually if they added a screen to one of the windows for some bug-free fresh air, that would be fantastic. But it was a serene setting and I could take walks close by in the beautiful surrounding woods. They had a nice big desk for me to work on. Shops and restaurants aren't that far away, either.

If you want to stay in a place that feels like home, this is the place for you! Off the beaten path a little, Lotte's place is such a reprieve after a busy day of sightseeing. It was wonderful to go for walks in the evening and enjoy such amazing farmhouse breakfasts in the morning. Lotte was extremely responsive and her place is amazing! I wouldn't hesitate to stay again.

Een weekje tot rust komen tussen het geschuifel van de vogels. Bij regen weer voldoende ruimte binnen en bij mooi weer een heel aangename tuin om te zitten. In de omgeving is vanalles te doen, winkels zijn dichtbij. Alles is aanwezig om zelf lekker te kokkerellen. Pizza bakken in de pizza oven was ook eens leuk om te doen. Zeker een aanrader. We voelden ons op ons gemak.

Super Unterkunft und super Gastgeber . Wir hatten sehr viel Spaß sind haben uns wohl gefühlt. Die Unterkunft war mit dem Boot erreichbar und wir konnten mit dem Boot einkaufen fahren. Es war ein echtes Abenteuer. Der Unterkunft sowie der Pool war sauber. Hat alles gepasst für uns ☀️

Heerlijk plekje om te verblijven. We voelde ons gelijk thuis. Wat een hoop lekkere plekjes om te zitten en de inrichting is helemaal leuk. Daarnaast een mooie omgeving tuin en veel privacy. Ik heb heerlijk geslapen in de bedstee (wij noemden het de bruidsschat vanwege de leuke gordijntjes). En ook leuk dat we de fietsen konden gebruiken!

We hebben een geweldige tijd gehad. Echt een top accommodatie, gezellige mensen, een leuke omgeving. Een aanrader! Dank jullie wel Jet en Eric

We had a really nice time, it's locations is great, nice restaurants and a supermarket nearby, close to the Hoge Veluwe national park

Het huisje is op een kleinschalig groen park, waar je goed terecht kan met je hond. Sterker nog het was het Pinksterweekend en ik heb nog nooit zoveel honden gezien. Allemaal keurig aan de lijn en alleen maar vriendelijke honden. Met een paar minuten lopen zit je in het bos, waar - op sommige plekken - de hond ook van de lijn afmag. Er is ook een gemeenschappelijk zwembad waar je gebruik van kan maken. Het huisje is comfortabel, het bed ligt goed en ook op een fijn plekje waar je geen inkijk hebt. Communicatie met de gastvrouw, Jacq , is perfect. Ze reageert meteen op welke vraag dan ook. Dank voor de fijne dagen.

We spent a lovely, relaxing long weekend at Madeleen‘s place, a cute apartment in a charming old house with a gorgeous garden directly by the Ijsselmeer. While there is no proper kitchen, Madeleen provides everything you need to make yourself a coffee or a sandwich, with a coffeemaker and a large fridge at your disposal. There is a pretty good restaurant in walking distance, and quite a few more a short car drive away. Getting to Amsterdam is easy, and after a busy day in the city, the garden and the quiet are absolutely wonderful, as is a quick dip in the cool water. Madeleen‘s friend Anna welcomed us and was a perfect hostess who we very much enjoyed chatting with. We had a great time and hope to visit again sometime soon. Thanks for everything!

Prachtig mooi groot huis van alle gemakken voorzien .ook voor de kleintjes.mooie tuin . Veel te zien in de buurt. Bedankt Denise
