Family-friendly holiday rentals in Vijfhuizen

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!

LOGEMENT conforme à la description dans un endroit paisible à la campagne d’Amsterdam, l’accueil de Sheniva top, bel environnement, je recommande.

A cozy beautiful place outside Amsterdam. The pool, the jacuzzi and the green space give you the perfect place to start and end your day after long walks in the crowded Amsterdam. We had to use Uber to go from and to Amsterdam which ended up costing us around 30-35€ per ride. There are instructions about public transport but when we checked online it would take about an hour to commute (we’re thinking maybe we checked at times where the bus was unavailable since the instructions from the host said it would take shorter). The pool and the jacuzzi would definitely benefit from bit more cleaning since the water was bit cloudy. Still, overall , absolutely worth it and we enjoyed our stay.

我们团队一行6人，商务行后旅行经过一晚，1、房屋主人主动沟通确认到达时间，原计划8:30到，实际到达要9:30-10点了，提前1小时通知，房东非常有耐心； 2、房子里有树屋和秋千； 3、方便停车🅿️； 4、周围2.5KM有大海和海滩，沙滩上有贝壳🐚，很适合散步看海踩沙滩🏖️；

We had a wonderful holiday in Moniek’s beautiful house. We were so comfortable and relaxed as Moniek provided everything we could need. There were lots of lovely, stylish extras in her house too that made our stay feel special. The neighbourhood is great; quiet, peaceful and full of beautiful views of boats, beaches parks, nature and water. Yet there is also loads to do with teenagers, being so close to Amsterdam, Ajax and Delft. Almere is the perfect place to explore by cycling. The week went so quickly. Moniek was very helpful in giving useful and detailed info and in answering questions quickly. I would 100% highly recommend this AirBnB to others.

Wir waren im April 2025 bei Onno mit meiner Frau, meinem Sohn und meinen Eltern zu Gast. Das Haus ist wirklich wunderbar, hat alles, was man braucht und ist sehr schön eingerichtet. Die Lage ist toll, mit den Rädern, die am Haus sind, sind wir durch den Bollenstreek und haben eine phantastische Zeit gehabt.

We stayed at Trevor’s for several months. During our stay Trevor was an excellent host, answering our questions quickly. The house was well equipped with all the essentials. The location is perfect, walking distance to the train station and a beautiful view of the canal.

Perfect location, unique way to stay in the city. Would highly recommend. Very different experience, of course, than a home or hotel but this makes travel more fun. Being right on the "skinny" bridge was a fantastic experience. Great for people watching or just quickly being right in the middle of everything.

Wir waren ganz begeistert von dem Hof, dem Garten und der Wohnung. Es gibt soviele schöne Details, dass man viele Tage bräuchte, alle zu entdecken. Alles war so kreativ und gemütlich, man merkt, dass viel Arbeit, Herzblut und Liebe in den Dingen steckt. Auch die Tiere mochten wir sehr.... Wir hatten einen sehr herzlichen Empfang und viele tolle Tipps für Ausflüge- gerade, weil wir auch mit Hunden unterwegs waren, war es wunderbar, dass auch die ihren Spaß haben konnten und wir sie überall mitnehmen konnten...wir hatten eine schöne Zeit und haben sie gut gefüllt! Danke an Patries und Mike und ihre Tiere!!

Tine e la sua famiglia ha accolto me e i miei amici nel migliore dei modi dandoci tutto l’aiuto e le info possibili. La casa è un paradiso, per i tuoi giorni qui sei catapultato nell’autentica vita di un olandese nella classica e originale casa a punta con le scale strette!!😍 È proprio quello che cercavo. Servizi della casa perfetti. Abbiamo utilizzato le bici a disposizione per arrivare alla stazione di Zandjk e prendere lo sprinter per Amsterdam. Comodo. Fornisce anche i lucchetti per legare le bici alla stazione o dove si vuole. Tutto questo sempre accompagnato dai fantastici animali nella zona circostante che rendevano tutto ancora più autentico e magico 💚 TORNEREMO!!!! 🙏🏻

Great place to stay with a great host, and we used the bikes provided often. Only 5 min bike ride to the train station & grocery store. Photos are a little outdated and it can get cold due to the nature of the construction.

Wir hatten einen großartigen Aufenthalt in diesem Apartment! Alles war sehr sauber, geschmackvoll eingerichtet und mit viel Liebe zum Detail ausgestattet. Wir haben uns von Anfang an wohlgefühlt. Die Lage war ideal – ruhig, aber trotzdem zentral, sodass wir alles gut erreichen konnten. Besonders gefallen hat uns die herzliche Kommunikation mit dem/der Gastgeber*in – stets freundlich, hilfsbereit und zuverlässig. Ein kleiner Hinweis: Die Treppenstufen zum Apartment sind – typisch für diesen schönen Altbau – etwas steil. Für uns war das kein Problem, aber man sollte es wissen. Wir würden jederzeit gerne wiederkommen und können die Unterkunft absolut weiterempfehlen!

Wir hatten einen wunderbaren Aufenthalt in der Unterkunft in Zandvoort. Die Wohnung war genauso wie beschrieben und auf den Fotos – sauber, gemütlich und sehr einladend. Wir haben uns von Anfang an wohlgefühlt. Die Lage ist einfach perfekt – nah zum Strand, zur Stadt und trotzdem ruhig. Annette war eine großartige Gastgeberin: sehr freundlich, gut erreichbar und mit tollen Tipps für die Umgebung. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall gerne wieder!

Casa di campagna accogliente e pulita, con vista su un mulino a pochi passi. Ampio soggiorno, cucina nuova. Apprezzata la presenza di caffè, olio, sale, pepe, bagnoschiuma, ecc. I maiali e il cane sono molto socievoli, anche con i bambini, per i quali sono presenti anche altalena, dondolo, tappeti elastici. Esther e Erik si sono mostrati molto gentili, disponibili e riservati. Soggiorno rilassante e super consigliato!

Ein sehr gemütliches Ferienhaus mit allem, was man braucht und noch viel mehr. Besonders gut gefallen hat uns, dass der Strand fußläufig erreichbar ist. Es gibt viele nette Strandbars!

We had the most wonderful stay in this charming cabin nestled on the property of a windmill in Alkmaar. From the moment we arrived, our hosts Kelly and Han made us feel completely at home. They went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect—so kind, welcoming, and full of great local tips. The cabin itself is a dream—coziness taken to the next level. Every detail was thoughtfully put together, and it was the perfect place to unwind to relax. Waking up next to a windmill felt like something out of a fairytale. Alkmaar itself is a beautiful village full of history, with adorable shops and restaurants to explore. The charming canals add to the magical atmosphere, and it’s easy to hop on a train to Amsterdam for a day trip. We’re already dreaming of our return and feel so lucky to have made such lovely new friends in Kelly and Han. Highly recommend this magical spot to anyone visiting The Netherlands!

Great host and great place. Very special venue, extraordinarily peaceful and comfortable with beautiful surroundings explorable by boat. Thank you Erik for taking such great care of us and being so responsive.

Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt bei Wendela sehr genossen. Wir wurden sehr herzlich begrüßt. Das „Rosenhäuschen“ war genau das, was wir uns vorgestellt hatten. Es war unser „ Home away from home“. Und wir werden sicher wiederkommen.

A quick ride from Amsterdam Central to a small harbor off the Main Street. Walkable to all the main attractions in Central Amsterdam and an easy spot to catch an Uber if you want to go further. The houseboat was as described on a quiet dock with friendly neighbors and two awesome houseboat cats Bo and Skipper. This was especially important since we were in town when Kings Day occurred and after a walk around the festivities, it was nice to retire from the craziness and relax on top of the houseboat. The host met us onboard walked us through everything and provided easy contact information for use during our stay. Check-out was a breeze. A great find and a great value!

un très agréable séjour sur le bateau de Steven...passer quelques jours sur le Don c est un peu jouer au marin mais c est bien agréable. Weesp est une petite ville d un charme absolu, idéalement située par rapport à Amsterdam. N hesitez pas, demandez la permission de monter à bord.

Le logement de Magdalena est située dans un cadre enchanteur. Nous y avons séjourné plusieurs nuits avec notre fils de 7 ans. Le logement est grand, on ne manque pas d’espace. L’accès au bus pour rejoindre Amsterdam est simple : 15 minutes de marche et 15-20 minutes de bus, très facile et très pratique ! En voiture, nous avons pu visité les villages de pêcheurs alentours. Nous recommandons ce logement.

Ein liebevoll eingerichtetes Haus mit allem notwendigen, was man braucht. Selbst an Ersatzbatterien für die Fernbedienung hat es nicht gemangelt. Der Strand, Bars und Restaurant sind auch gut fußläufig erreichbar. An die Gastgeberin muss gesondert ein Extralob ausgesprochen werden. Zu jederzeit für jede Frage offen und stets hilfsbereit. Wir haben uns pudelwohl gefühlt und der Urlaub war richtig schön. 🙏🙏🙏🤗

Das Hausboot war einfach schön. Mein Partner, mein Hund und ich waren über Silvester dort. Die Lage ist super zentral, trotzdem ruhig. Auf dem Sofa vor dem Kamin zu sitzen und aufs Wasser zu schauen, war einfach nur entschleunigend. Wir möchten gern bei besserem Wetter noch einmal Utrecht besuchen. Eine tolle Stadt!

We had a truly wonderful stay on Laura’s boat. It was perfect for two people - quiet and private, yet close to all of the excitement of Amsterdam. It was so fun to live like a local on a boat house for a few days! It is a boat, so spaces are small, and if that bothers you, you need to choose somewhere else. But if you want the experience of living on a boat for a few days, you will love this place. Definitely rent the bicycles from Laura! If you haven’t seen Holland by bike, you haven’t seen Holland. We loved this place. I really hope we have the chance to go back someday.
