Vacation rentals with lake access in Amsterdam-Centrum

Richard and Brenda are very welcoming hosts, no question is too much and they are very proactive. Upon arrival, the Jacuzzi turned out to be broken, but the boat was then offered free of charge, and we were able to do a lovely trip on the lakes. the house feels like a home, everything is in the house to make it a nice stay (kitchen supplies, herbs, etc but also board games, a Wii,...) definitely recommend staying here

We had 4 very nice days in the idyllic surroundings and the very nice house. There were five of us there and we had a dog with us too. Everything was a great fit. Going to the cottage and exploring the area was also really fun. We would definitely love to come back again. Best regards and thank you. Winkler family

We were able to spend wonderful quiet days. The instructions worked out great for the "ferry" to get to the house. The contact was always quick and informative, we felt well taken care of.

We felt very comfortable right away, the beds are great. When we came home from excursions, we really looked forward to our accommodation and enjoyed spending time there. The place was very clean and smelled great. In case of a problem, you reached the landlady immediately or you got a quick response.

We stayed here for 5 nights. The apartment is very nice and cozy. you open the front door in a small hallway, from which the quite steep stairs lead straight to the second floor. On the top left (with the canal view) there is 1 single bed. On the top right is the second bedroom with a 1.40 m bed and a built-in closet. Between the two bedrooms is the bathroom with the shower and a toilet. From the hallway just to the right, the door leads into the open living dining area (sofa, table, 4 chairs , 1 stool) with open kitchen. From the kitchen you can access the guest toilet and the outdoor area : terrace and a small staircase to the left of the shed (washing machine and storage area ) overlooking the canal. Seating is available. Need to Know: - Back door is opened by pushing the latch up when turning the key. -Bed is rather soft and a little saggy Place is highly recommended.

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!

Refreshing, peaceful and beautiful cottage. Demi is friendly and took care of us throughout the stay. I highly recommend it because the place is exceptional!

We had the absolute best time staying at Nicolette’s beautiful home! She was so wonderful and made sure that we had everything we needed. The location is beautiful situated with the best river view and the town of Maarssen is just a few minutes down the road. We would highly recommend that anyone visiting this area should stay here! Nicolette is very kind and is a wonderful and attentive host!!!!

We felt very comfortable in the accommodation. The pictures correspond exactly to what it looks like. Communication with Sandra was also very good 😊

We loved our stay in Uitgeest! It's a little far from the train station (half an hour walk), but the walk is fun and through the beautiful small city center. The whole apartment was beautiful and well-laid-out, and everything was super clean. Honestly, I couldn't have asked for anything more — it was perfect! We particularly loved the porch overlooking the canal, though we weren't there long enough to fully avail of it. All-around, a great place to stay in a very beautiful spot not too far from Amsterdam.

Super location. On the dyke, but in a quiet place. Car can be parked for free. Friendly host who responds quickly. And we were pleasantly surprised with a delicious treat waiting for us in the fridge!

A 10-star accommodation, quite an experience

Mr. Mike was great, very kind, the house is great and the place is very beautiful. It was a nice weekend.

Bas and Hannie offer a wonderful apartment that feels very welcoming. Everything was spotlessly clean, and communication with them was smooth and kind. The neighborhood is peaceful, yet getting to Amsterdam was easy and convenient. I can highly recommend both the apartment and Bas and Hannie as hosts!

One of the most beautiful places I’ve been to. Fantastic nature, close to the major cities Utrecht and Amsterdam, cca 30 minutes by car to either one. The apartment is on the roof of the building, surrounded by succulents and flowers. The view from the apartment is breathtaking. The nature park part of the lake is a must see. The staff is very helpful and friendly, we will be back for sure!

We had a lovely stay and the host was very friendly! The apartment was clean and nice, we recommend it!

Very beautiful place peaceful relaxing

We had a great stay at the property. The area is quiet, optimal with children. The nearest supermarket is within walking distance and you can also walk to the beach in about 20 minutes. There's everything you need in the house. We would come back. :-)

We spent 4 nights over Easter in Rudi‘s cottage and throughly enjoyed our stay. The cottage is very bright and clean with a comfy bed. and sofa, a great shower and excellent lighting (this is something that I often miss in hotel rooms). The view from the terrace is outstanding. We were lucky with the weather and spent many hours there after cycling in the area or visiting nearby Utrecht. Rudi is a very friendly person, always smiling, giving us recommendations etc. Would re-visit anytime. Thank you, Rudi - also for the delicious welcome-cake!

John is a very friendly landlord who always responded to questions in a friendly and quick manner. In the house itself, we were warmly welcomed according to the instructions and were very impressed by the many details. The house has every comfort and nothing was missing. The only small drawback I have to mention is that the house is very brightly lit. Every visit to the toilet, every shower, etc. of these had something for all fellow travelers, but nevertheless life in the house was very pleasant. The lower room does not allow any privacy, although this was already mentioned in the reviews by our predecessors. We would recommend the house and the landlord at any time !!! ❤️❤️

Edam is a great place where you can easily get everything you need on foot. It has lots of great restaurants in walking distance and everywhere has picturesque canals and waterways. Super friendly and relaxed home with top class amenities. Perfect for a family .

My sister and I loved it. It was all the same as in the photos. Even better. Right on the water and you had your peace. The view was really heavenly and we were able to relax very well. I'd love to come back.

We felt very comfortable with Lonneke! Everything was as described in the photos. I also loved that she always responded quickly to my messages and questions. The place was clean and well furnished so that nothing was missing. The location is very great and very easily accessible by bus from Amsterdam and you are in the center in a good 15 minutes! If you want to have peace and quiet after the hustle and bustle of the city, I highly recommend this place! Simply super nice location and super hosts! Thank you for the great time and for your hospitality! I'd love to come back when I'm in Amsterdam again. Everything was great!

Angelique is a super host, very responsive and on hand if you need anything answered or help with directions etc. I have not encountered a better air bnb host :-) The water cottage is peaceful and restful and has everything you need. For Amsterdam you must be either prepared to drive or happy to walk just over 1.3 miles into the town. Its a 45 min bus into Amsterdam which is pretty regular or you can drive 15 mins to a train station and make your way in from there. We had no problem with this at all but some might be put off. However the location and quiet peace by the water was super and worth it!
