Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Edam-Volendam

We had an amazing two-month stay at this lovely place! The neighborhood is fantastic for families, especially if you enjoy peaceful walks, greenery, and animals. Very close to the house, there are multiple playgrounds, which was perfect for us. Plus, public transportation makes it easy to reach nearby towns (highly recommend to visit: Edam). The hosts were exceptional—always responsive, incredibly thoughtful, and provided us with tons of local insights. They truly went above and beyond to make sure we felt at home. The house itself is great! It’s spacious with beautiful natural light, a big garden, and even a sauna for extra relaxation. We couldn’t have been happier with this arrangement and highly recommend it for anyone looking for a welcoming and comfortable stay.

We were only there for a weekend but we will definitely go back. The house is even more beautiful than it looks in the pictures and there is everything you need. Also a lot of spices and cooking utensils - everything was just thought of.

We visited as a family of four with our dog, and the house was a perfect space for our stay. Martijn's house is in a convenient location, Purmerend, in a nice and quiet neighborhood with convenient access to supermarkets and restaurants. The location has easy access to Amsterdam (in 30 minutes by car or public transportation) and to other attractions, like Dutch villages Zaanse Schans and Volendam within 20 minutes by car. There are nice beaches within 30-40 minute drive, and it is also easy to go north or south to explore anywhere in the Netherlands from the house. Martijn is a warm and responsive host. He is very flexible and helpful in providing information. The house is well equipped with almost everything you'd need for a relaxing holiday with family. Overall, we had a really enjoyable stay and would definitely recommend Martijn's house for a summer holiday!

Would highly recommend this place, we had a wonderful stay - only problem that it was too short. Well located, easy to find. Ebbie met us at the property with a warm welcome and it felt like she had opened her home to us. The property had everything that you could ask for and more, so we felt like we were getting a real dutch living experience. Edam is so beautiful, the people so friendly. It was so easy to pop in to Amsterdam for the day. A much better experience than staying in Amsterdam itself.

Our 8-day stay in the Holland countryside was nothing short of amazing! From the moment we arrived, the check-in process was smooth and straightforward—everything was clearly explained and easy to follow. The hosts were incredibly warm and welcoming, making us feel completely at home from the start. The house itself was spotless—super clean and fresh, clearly cared for with love. It looked exactly like the photos and matched the description perfectly, which was such a pleasant surprise. We also really appreciated the helpful instructions and thoughtful local recommendations that made exploring the area so much easier and enjoyable. The rural setting was absolutely beautiful—peaceful, quiet, and surrounded by nature, yet still very walkable. We spent many mornings simply enjoying the serenity of the countryside. This stay was an absolute gem and a fantastic deal for everything we got. We’re very grateful for the experience. Highly recommended! ☺️❤️

It was our first time in Volendam and we felt immediately welcome when arriving at Jessie's and Johan's place. The apartment looked just like in the pictures and was very nicely furnished. One highlight was the screen with projector. We had a great time exploring Volendam and Marken and would definitely come back.

We really enjoyed our stay in Edam it was a beautiful little town with canals and lots of greenery.. very easy to get a bus to and from the city centre of Amsterdam and nice to come back to such a warm cozy space at the end of a day of exploring. We stayed over new years and the fireworks did not disappoint Edam knows how to put on a show! Claudio was extremely helpful and kind he even helped us get back inside when we locked ourselves out one night. Checking in was easy even when I had communication issues on my end. My friends and I highly recommend.

We had such a lovely time here! We stayed at Anje place with our 4 year old. The house was easy to get into using a key safe, check in was therefore flexible. The house is light and airy, really beautiful, we felt relaxed and tight at home. Our son absolutely loved it too, all the ‘new’ toys, trampoline, outdoor toys and books. The kids’ bed were a big hit too! It is a very child friendly house! Hector the cat is very gentle, enjoys company, ans super easy to look after, we all really enjoyed him being around. Lovely modern bathroom. Useful to have access to a washing machine with young children! Edam is stunning, and not too touristy. Anje recommended a beach and a restaurant, ice cream that we went to and both were great. Cycling around the area was fab too!

I feel quite lucky to have stayed at a number of great airbnbs in the past. However, this apartment and in particular the warmth and hospitality from Marja and Jos easily make it the best airbnb experience we've ever had. The space is wonderfully cozy and the location cannot be better (especially for the food market on Wednesdays) . Marja and Jos went out of their way to make us feel at home on our first day through to our last. They also have bikes to rent, which is terrific to explore some of the neighboring villages. Transport to/from Amsterdam is incredibly easy and efficient too, so it can be a great homebase to spend time in the city if that's what you are looking for. I highly recommend this lovely home and spending time in Edam. We absolutely loved it and hope to return very soon.

We were great staying at Irene's place. The apartment was clean, we had everything we needed. The bed very comfortable.

The place was surprisingly amazing, the house was clean and had everything needed for a fine holiday. I highly suggest people to stay there. There are 2 couples bedroom and a huge bedroom with 7-8 beds. A huge dining room, kitchen was nice. A big balcony with sofas and tables. You can have a fine dinner just outside as there are many restaurants. We got 15% discount on one meal which was a great deal. You can find any means of transportation with in 15 minutes walk. All kinds of shops are avaliable in the area. Amsterdam central is not so far away. Everything was good. Highly recommended. 🤩🤩

Michel and Angelique’s place was adorable. It was decorated beautifully and looked just the photos. The hosts are so thoughtful and you can tell they pride themselves in the space. The town itself is so picturesque and beautiful to walk around. The bus station is a close walk away with a short bus ride into Amsterdam. Would stay here again.

Cute spot for a vacation

Had a great stay at Martin’s place. It is a very beautiful area and comfortable place. Totally recommend! 😁

A fantastic apartment. So much peace and privacy and that in such a central location. Great. To come back more often! Thank you for the hospitality

Thank you very much for the very pleasant stay. We had a good time! Location ideal for a trip to Amsterdam or to cycle to cycle to the area. Exceptional the atmosphere on the terrace overlooking the nature reserve! We'd love to come back!

The stay was very nice... The place was clean, cozy and as described. Yafit and Jerry are very friendly and helpful. The location was ideal for our trips to Amsterdam – both by bus and bike you can get to the city quickly and easily. If you're looking for a cozy and well connected place to stay for an Amsterdam trip, this is the place to be.

We had an amazing stay at Ingrid’s place. She was a fantastic host, even meeting us in person when we arrived (which we really appreciated), and she shared great local tips for food and sights. The bright, clean suite had everything we needed, and the bed was one of the most comfortable we've had at an Airbnb. We loved the back garden and sitting by the canal out front. Ingrid provided two bikes, which we used daily—it was an easy 5–8 min ride to the ferry, then less than 5 min across to central Amsterdam. Shops, groceries, and restaurants were also just a short bike ride away, and a metro station was nearby (about a 20-minute walk or a 5-minute bike ride). After busy days exploring, it was so nice to return to Ingrid’s home. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it for anyone wanting to experience both the city and a peaceful local neighborhood. Thanks again Ingrid!

When my friends and I arrived at the apartment, Ineke and her family were still busy cleaning the AirBnB. Still, they took the time to welcome us warmly. We arrived on King's Day and were also pleasantly surprised with wonderful tomphoes! From the beginning, everything was clearly explained and also during and before our stay, communication with Ineke went particularly smoothly. Every question I asked, I received a friendly answer quickly. I am very grateful to Ineke and her family for the warm welcome and clean, well-kept apartment we were allowed to stay in! ☺️

Excellent location for exploring Amsterdam. The park nearby is an added bonus. This place is close to everything one needs for a comfortable, restful stay. Nathan was a great host.

Second stay at Monique's apartment in less than a year. Nice apartment very well maintained, very bright, in the North sector of Amsterdam, away from the crowds of tourists, but very easy to access to the tourist center of Amsterdam. In addition, the apartment is very safe, nicely decorated, bedding, down and quality towels. We recommend this apartment without hesitation and we plan to return if we have a chance. Thanks to Monique and Niels.

A lovely home which is well connected by the metro close by. Ajay was also very responsive and helpful. The apartment is modern and very clean, can only recommend.

Great location, right next to the Metro. Enough local restaurants, and very easy to get to Centraal. Can walk to the ferry station even, and get to Centraal for no cost. A little distant for organized, out of town tours. Ended up having to go to Centraal for them. Wonderful place to stay in for visiting Amsterdam.

Tim & Elizabeth were awesome hosts. When we first arrived, Tim picked us up at the ferry dock and offered to drive us to the grocery if we shopped when we first arrive. They also brought us croissants & orange juice one morning and had us over for drinks the evening before we left. The houseboat is a 15-20 minute walk from the free ferry which takes you directly to the Central Station. There are also a couple groceries and a few restaurants within walking distance. Multiple modes of mode of public transportation are also available. We loved staying here. Located on a quiet canal with numerous houseboats, it was relaxing and peaceful. One of our favorite morning activities was to feed the swans and other water birds that appear outside the siding door; Tim and Elzabeth provide special kibble for them. If you are looking for a quiet place slightly removed from bustle of central Amsterdam, this is ideal!
