Waterfront holiday rentals in Velsen

Wonderful peaceful place to stay!

This delightful apartment is located in the historic central part of town, on a canal. Very comfortable, cozy and quiet. Plenty of room with a very appealing courtyard as well. Quality furnishing and fixtures with extra touches like chocolates, snacks, juices and sparkling water enhance the experience. Karin is a marvellous host who is very proactive, helpful , kind and generous. We highly recommend this establishment, in this gem of a town.

The apartment was in a fantastic location – perfect for exploring the city and enjoying the beach. It was very cozy and it really had everything you need. You immediately felt comfortable. Communication with Cynthia went smoothly and quickly, she was always available and very helpful. The entire stay was great and we would come back anytime. Absolute recommendation!

We (mother and daughter 6) had a great time at Barbara's! We had the opportunity to reach them around the clock, felt totally comfortable. In a few minutes we were at the beach, we love the beach pavilion, we were always welcome there. Barbara provided us with excursion destinations in advance and provided us with games in the room for rainy days. An all-round successful holiday, despite the rain :)

The ultimate proof that Dave’s place is fantastic is when we took a Haarlem canal tour and floated right by the home and the amazing garden. Our fellow boat mates oohed and aahed while taking pictures as we shared how wonderful we were finding the accommodations. It was a fitting way to share our “home” with fellow travelers.

We had a great time at Irma's place. The accommodation is very clean, pleasant, well equipped. The environment is very nice. Irma is a very friendly and responsive host. We will come back without hesitation!

A beautiful and uniquely decorated apartment with all comforts! Quietly located and close to the sea. Nice contact with the hostess as well!

Our stay at Hans’ place was fantastic. It was exactly as described - neat and clean, with great amenities and in an excellent location. Hans is incredibly friendly and a wonderful host. He provided a map of the city with tons of recommendations, and the bikes were so great for getting around. There were nice touches like that all throughout his place, it’s obvious how much he cares about creating a welcoming environment. If you have the opportunity to stay here I can’t recommend it enough. This is everything Airbnb is supposed to be.

My friend and I choose to stay here, since it was close to Zaanse-Schaans and Amsterdam Noord. And I must say: It’s the nicest Airbnb I’ve ever been to so far. I’d definitely recommend it to others, who’d like to wind out and relax after a very long day in the city and just wanna feel like home: this is the place. Marjolein has put so much love and detail to make this place super cozy. I really loved it. And the neighborhood feels super safe and there are some cafes close by with a nice view of the harbor. Definitely a must stay place, if you’re looking for a relaxing place. Thanks a lot Marjolein for letting us stay here.

We had a great stay - fantastic location and very friendly host!

We felt very comfortable. The place is super nicely decorated and very clean and well maintained. Bart responded very quickly to every question and was totally nice and accommodating. There were welcome snacks and drinks and we were allowed to stay longer in the parking lot on the day of departure. We had a super nice weekend. Thank you

Esther is a great host and very quick and easy to reach if you have any questions. The accommodation is very well equipped, well maintained and clean. We felt very comfortable. Since I like to drink a large cup of coffee or tea, I was missing large cups. The existing ones are very small. This could perhaps be supplemented. There was nothing missing.

Guido was an amazing host. He was very responsive and flexible with us on our trip. The Airbnb was exactly as pictured and made for a great home while visiting Amsterdam! Would recommend

We had a great time in Zandvoort. It’s a beautiful and calm house, with close proximity to the beach and only a 35 min train away from Amsterdam. Would definitely recommend it! Jannekke was easy to communicate with and very helpful.

The neighborhood is beautiful, the house is beautiful, clean, and very well equipped and decorated. The area is lovely to walk around and a short distance to the east there are a lot of restaurants, bars and bakeries and to the south one big mall with supermarket and shops. My only complaint is the staircase is too narrow, which makes it uncomfortable to go up and down with suitcases. But I recognize this is a Dutch thing and the majority of houses, new and old, have the same issue.

We had a nice time at the accommodation – the location is perfect, central but close to the beach and reasonably quiet. The house is lovingly designed and is particularly suitable for 2–3 people. During our stay, there were a few minor problems (e.g. a gas failure on the entire street and housekeeping), but Æmilia responded really quickly and reliably. The communication was consistently warm, transparent and solution-oriented – that made a big difference and we felt in good hands despite everything. Thank you for the great care – we were able to enjoy our short break and would like to recommend the accommodation!

We had a wonderful time at this beachfront home. The location is fantastic and the area offers many opportunities for recreation and exploration. The hosts were extremely friendly and helpful – their tips for excursions and activities were very valuable. The apartment itself is very luxuriously furnished and equipped with everything you need. We felt completely comfortable and can absolutely recommend this place!

It’s a nice place. Great location, but also quiet. Comfy bed and full kitchen. Communication before our trip was perfect. No questions answered.

This place was wonderful! It was just as described. We enjoyed listening to the birds (wild parakeets and others) as we sat on the balcony in the mornings. The stairs are steep and narrow but that is just part of being in Amsterdam. One thing to note, there are 2 showers, 2 sinks, but only 1 toilet. It didn’t cause any problem for me, but those staying in the first floor bedroom will have to climb up stairs in the middle of the night. Overall, I highly recommend!

Great stay. Positive experience. Recommend!

We really like the accommodation for its location in relation to the country's landmarks. The hosts always very friendly and super quick to respond to messages. Although the room is inside their house we never lacked privacy and we had everything we needed inside the room :)

A truly unique accommodation experience. Although the location is a bit far from the city center, it poses no obstacle for self-driving travelers. Situated within a yacht club, each unit comes with a small private pier offering beautiful views. The facilities are quite sufficient, making it an ideal spot for families to spend a few days.

My husband and I had a wonderful stay, the house was immaculate, clean & had everything in it needed for a great stay! Joeke was very accommodating and welcoming! The location is perfect, just around the corner from the beach, bars, restaurants and shops! Would highly recommend!

We had a fantastic stay at this flat! It looked exactly as shown in the photos—clean, spacious, and beautifully decorated. The location was perfect, just a short 5-minute walk from our daughter’s place, which made everything super convenient. Access from the street was straightforward, and the lift to the 3rd floor made getting in and out with luggage easy. Communication with the host was seamless and quick, which we really appreciated. We felt comfortable and well taken care of throughout our stay. Highly recommend this flat, and we’ll definitely be back!
