Family-friendly vacation rentals in Amsterdam

Our second time at Sebastian’s wonderful Airbnb. This location is perfect as it’s quiet and yet very near the busier sections of town. Sebastian is a terrific host and everything is as described. He is very friendly and makes sure all is well:-) You will not find a better property !

Fred and Kelly were wonderful hosts and their house were absolutely charming! We are two friends who spent a total of 4 nights sleeping in their peaceful attic, which came with a clean and nice private bathroom and a microwave to heat up our food! There were a few head bumps with the sloped ceilings but that only gave us a couple of good laughs~ The location of their house is not too bad too, just a 10 mins brisk walk away from the Zaandijk Zaanse Schans train station, we loved the smell of chocolate wafting through the air everytime we walked to/fro the house to/fro the station due to the chocolate factory nearby! Neighbourhood was really quiet and peaceful too! Fred and Kelly took hosting to the next level! The pantry was stocked with coffee and tea sachets and even soup in a cup sachets which we only realized when we were about to leave! Utensils, plates, bowls and cups were super clean too and it truly is a charming house to live in… we consider ourselves lucky to have stayed

Incredible stay! The rooms were clean and the place was very close to the train line. Highly recommend!

We used the AirBnB to do some work, and it was great. Especially to go outside and look at the horses in the surrounding fields. Although it was on Sandra's terrain, it felt very private. Thank you for hosting us!

We had a wonderful time at Anouk's houseboat. I was debating before booking if I should rather stay in the city but it was totally worth a train ride from Amsterdam Centraal to be in the nature. The grocery store is 3 minute bike ride so we could easily get things to cook and fix up a pasta dinner with a bottle of wine when we were tired of eating out and rather just wanted to relax watching the ducks and water lilies on the canal. The access was so private we didn't hear any traffic or other people. After all day walking around in Amsterdam full of tourists it was a nice way to close the day. My teenage kids really loved pausing and taking photos on the boat with beautiful water background to brag about to their friends later. One surprise was Zaanse Schans was so close. We rode bikes there and it was super easy. Beautiful brick streets and watching a boat goes under a drawbridge made it even more enjoyable.

A wonderful house to stay with a group. Very nice large kitchen and everything is present. We have enjoyed it!

I had a lovely stay, and Angela was kind enough to help me settle in late in the evening after my flight got delayed! Beautiful apartment just as described, and feels extra spacious with natural light pouring in from both sides. I love the neighborhood its in as well and wish to explore it a bit more if I ever pass through again.

Awesome host and a great location.

Absolutely loved our stay in the Canal house! Could not have been more ideal for our family. Location was perfect, so relaxing too sit outside the door and watch the boats, kayaks and ducks float by.

The host is comfortable, flexible and cooperative. The cottage is wonderful and more beautiful than the photos shown. The cottage's accessories are very beautiful. The cottage and its surroundings are a garden and arranged seating and well-maintained trees. The little river is wonderful. I highly recommend the cottage

For our week in Amsterdam (first time visiting) Robbert’s place was in the perfect location to get to/from our trains as well as their public transit, many many restaurants and bars plus walkable to all the sights. We felt right at home and on low key evenings could run to the grocery across the square and cook a meal at the flat. Would recommend and stay again!

Our stay at Vincent's apartment was lovely. It really was super clean, absolutely no clutter, and the bed was very comfortable. The street was quiet and away from the touristy areas. However, it was just a short walk to the busier areas and the museums, a real plus. The steps up to the apartment were indeed very steep. We mentioned this to our Dutch friends and they said "welcome to Amsterdam"! They are part of every house so we accepted this and got used to them. Vincent's Check In instructions were clear and we had no problems. We had a very memorable stay. Thank you, Vincent.

This apartment is really nice. It has a big oven, soft beds and the cutest little sink in the bathroom. It is within walking distanxe of the Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh museum, Her Scheepvaart Museum and the shopping streets (for me walking distance means anything between next door and ca 30 minutes in one direction (it is roughly a 32 minute walk to Het Scheepvaart Museum.)) It was really useful to have access to both a washing maschine and a dryer, which meant we could travel light. The host was friendly and helpful during our stay, checked in through the message function and gave us an extra duvet when we need it.

There were five of us on site for an extended weekend and felt right at home. Everything was as described and visible in the pictures. Marie is very hospitable. Her houseboat offers a perfect place to relax and feel good. All around a successful weekend. We will be happy to come back.

Nice place to stay during our time in Amsterdam. The location is very good and they were very clear and responsive in any communication.

Maaike and Marko were super friendly! We were able to check in earlier spontaneously, the apartment was nicely decorated and cozy. We felt very welcome and look forward to seeing you again.

If I could give Leigh-Anne a 10 star review, I absolutely would. My husband and I were traveling from the states on our honeymoon, never having visited the Netherlands and not really being travelers, period. We honestly had no idea what we were doing - Leigh-Anne jumped in and was so kind and helpful. She was so clear in describing where the Airbnb is, not leaving out any important details of how it was on an island, needing to travel to and from by ferry, how often the ferry ran, etc. Luckily we are not big nightlife people and booked the cottage for peaceful refuge and that is just what we got. My husband and I are animal/nature lovers, so the fact there are goats and a rooster were icing on the cake. There are endless fields with wildlife, flowers, cows that you can see from the bedroom window when you wake up and a nice set up outside that is perfect for enjoying some coffee with the goats and birds. De Woude is so cute and quaint. THANK YOU for sharing your space, Leigh-Anne! 🫶🏼

Centrally located and walking distance to the main city centre, the loft is a great place to relax after a long day of exploring. It's surrounded by great restaurants and bars, so you never run out of options. The stairs are a bit of a challenge when it comes to larger suitcases, but the living space is worth the challenge! We'd happily stay again!

The pictures don’t do justice to the actual house ! Super comfortable home and the perfect hosts ! If you have a baby, this is just the place to book without thinking twice !!

The flat is in a lovely 17th century house on the canal. It is a 15 minute walk from the station which is very convenient if you’re travelling around to other places as we did. Marjan is very nice and communicative.

We stayed in the apartment for a weekend and felt very comfortable. With the bikes you could easily reach the nearby metro station and we had a good time in Amsterdam. The landlords were very friendly and always easily accessible. I highly recommend this place for Amsterdam stays.

It is a beautiful accommodation overlooking the lake. The accommodation is small but it offers everything you need and we felt very comfortable from the first moment. There is also a parking lot directly opposite and very good restaurants and shopping nearby. It was a dream to wake up every day overlooking the lake. If the weather cooperates, you can also swim there. Will definitely be back :)

This is the perfect place to stay when visiting Alkmaar! It is close enough to enjoy all that the city has to offer, yet it also provides a beautiful, peaceful escape from the business and crowds. Han and Kelly were great hosts, providing helpful recommendations and even rides from the train station and into Alkmaar. We also enjoyed hanging out with the dog, cat and chickens! We would definitely stay here again.

Very nice, clean and cozy place - looks better than the photos! Baby friendly. Very clear instructions and easy to check in and out. Hosts are super friendly, helpful and responsive. I recommend this place and would stay there again! :)
