Waterfront holiday rentals in North Holland

This is a terrific location in a nice area of the city center, right along a pretty canal. We were able to walk everywhere we wanted to go. The central train station is a 10 minute walk. The apartment has a relatively large living space with a bedroom area and convertible sofa. There was plenty of dishware and utensils for dining at “home”. There was also a washing machine but no dryer, so we did not use the washer but it was available with clothes pins etc. for hang drying. The bathroom had a clean shower with nice hot water and plenty of supplies like soap, shampoo and conditioner. Douwe was extremely responsive to our needs. We arrived early but he generously allowed us to check in while he finished cleaning the bathroom. He made us feel that he’d be available if we needed anything. I would definitely stay here again on a return trip to Amsterdam.

This was a beautiful place. It was much better than I imagined. It is the first Ike staying at a boat house and I don’t think we could have got a better experience. Both Rob and Karin were very responsive and took care of our needs immediately. The bedroom above is very spacious. Only thing to note is that the bathroom is only downstairs. It worked out fine for us. I highly recommend this place for a stay for max 3 people.

The apartment is beautifully decorated. Everything is clean and tidy. The communication was very good. Always quick responses and super friendly. I'd love to come back :)

The House is beatiful, there is everything you need! The location is perfect to reach Keukenhof and The tulips camps. Peet was so kind, she prepare a crib and some toys for our baby! Very recommended accomodation!

The apartment was very clean and had all that we needed. Came as advertised. Host was very clear with communication and responded promptly. Great place to stay!!

The location of the apartment is mega central, ideal for a city trip in Alkmaar and visiting the cheese market. The cheese boats pass right outside the window. The view of the canal & the landmark of Alkmaar etc. is totally beautiful. Everything is within walking distance. Johnson is a courteous, kind host and quick to respond to any questions. We definitely recommend the apartment ( at least if you are fit on foot, as the stairs to the apartment are very steep)....gladly again the next time you visit Alkmaar.

Super nice place to stay. Definitely worth it! Not so far from Amsterdam and easily accessible by public transportation!

It was an incredible stay, dead center between Amsterdam Centraal and Amsterdam Zuid stations. 5ish minute walk from Tram and Metro, beautiful canal views, and the restaurant Red next door is incredibly good. Can’t recommend it enough.

House right on the lake with beautiful views of the sunset. Jacuzzi was hot when we arrived. Very quiet residential area, and easy drive from the Hook of Holland ferry, Delft and Keukenfof.

Great host and beautiful home!!

We felt very comfortable in Anita's house. You have everything you need. The house still has the beautiful old charm. The garden was perfect in the sunny weather. You are quickly in the center but also in mountains and by the sea. We will be happy to come back.

This house was a gem of a find! We loved staying right on the water (and despite the cold, our son loved swimming), having access to the boat (which we took to dinner one night!), and just the peace and relaxation of watching the water and boats go by. You feel like you’re in the middle of no where, and yet we were a very short drive to all that we wanted to do - Keukenhof, Zaanse Schans, Amsterdam, and even the coast! We walked to get coffee in the mornings and enjoyed the walk and the town. We also love that it’s dog friendly! We changed our minds last minute and didn’t take our dog along, but we were wishing we had. He would’ve loved the canal and boat!

Wonderful location, comfortable apartment. Quiet.

A beautiful house by the water, boating is a lot of fun. It was fantastic and the five of us had a great time 🥰

Spacious, clean and well-equipped house. It is located in a quiet and very evocative village (little Gieethorn). Micaela is very kind and welcoming during check-in. We spent 6 days in serenity and comfort and visited by car various sites in the Netherlands (Amsterdam, Keukenhof, Leiden, Haarlem, Volendam and Marken, Zaanse Schan, Gieethorn) knowing to return in the evening to a perfect little house to rest. Highly recommended.

The house is beautifully decorated, has a lot of charm and is totally cozy. Frank is a great host and took care of everything. We were even allowed to check in earlier because we arrived very early. Nice gastronomy can be found around the house. We can recommend the baker Oskar at the harbor.

A beautiful stay in a very well maintained place. We felt completely comfortable. Everything is within walking distance and for good restaurants you don't have to walk far. The apartment is stalkingly furnished and you can feel like home.

We visit Vinkeveen with 4 girls and had a really nice time :) The apartment is pretty and clean and especially the balcony was great. I guess it's a perfect choice if you want to visit amsterdam but also want to have some relaxed time and enjoy the country side or the lake, wich is directly next to the airbnb. We would come back, thanks for the stay!

The apartment is super cozy and very nicely furnished. There is everything you need. The location is ideal. You can walk to downtown in 5 minutes. Still, it's quiet. The communication with Majsa was great. To welcome you, there was a bottle of wine and something to squeeze. It was beautiful all around. We definitely want to come back! Thanks very much.

Hugo was very helpful. The place was great . Location was really good . We had a great time and highly recommend staying here. Thanks Hugo .

We had a great stay at Joze’s Amsterdam apartment!! Great communication with the owners, a lovely natural light apartment with balcony and easy transportation options ( 2 tram lines within a 6 minute walk). Joze makes it very clear about the steep canal house stairs. The two flights are steep but there are lights and railings which I appreciated as I’m in my 70’s. We loved our stay in this peaceful neighborhood.

Where to begin? The location is devine, it is on the fourth canal so it’s still touristy but feels like a more local experience. It is right across from this gorgeous church and the bells sound lovely. I actually feel like this Airbnb is underrated. Could I give it 6 stars? The pictures of the Airbnb don’t have a good photo of the back courtyard, but it had lovely birds chirping and parrots as well as purple, orange, and red flowers. One night my mom and I had a dinner out there and it was splendid. The location is also almost right across from the Anne Frank Hous and I can’t believe the reviews don’t reflect that because it was so convenient getting to. I’m also an avid runner and the area, although full of pedestrians and bikers, was the perfect runners paradise. There was so much to see and it made me feel like I got to know the city more intimately. The host was also so nice when we first arrived and told us about all the amazing things Amsterdam has to offer!

We are incredibly grateful to have found this great place to stay! The apartment was furnished with a lot of love for detail - the fresh tulips and Easter bells made us feel right at home. The hot tub is of course an absolute highlight! And Remy was the perfect host: he gave us directly helpful tips for the area - which places are worthwhile, where to find the perfect beach, which restaurants have the best food, ... and where to park for free to drive to Amsterdam. The location is nice and quiet but ideal to make great excursions all day. We'll be back for sure and have already recommended the place directly to friends. High praise and thanks Remy! :)

We had a wonderful time at Yvonne's place! Everything was super nicely decorated, very clean and really nothing was missing. Yvonne himself is incredibly friendly and warm, we felt immediately welcome. The parking space right by the house was also very convenient. Overall a perfect place to stay – we highly recommend it and would come back any time!
