Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Edam-Volendam

We had an amazing two-month stay at this lovely place! The neighborhood is fantastic for families, especially if you enjoy peaceful walks, greenery, and animals. Very close to the house, there are multiple playgrounds, which was perfect for us. Plus, public transportation makes it easy to reach nearby towns (highly recommend to visit: Edam). The hosts were exceptional—always responsive, incredibly thoughtful, and provided us with tons of local insights. They truly went above and beyond to make sure we felt at home. The house itself is great! It’s spacious with beautiful natural light, a big garden, and even a sauna for extra relaxation. We couldn’t have been happier with this arrangement and highly recommend it for anyone looking for a welcoming and comfortable stay.

We were only there for a weekend but we will definitely be back. The house is even more beautiful than it looks in the pictures and it has everything you need. Also some spices and cooking utensils - everything was simply thought of.

We visited as a family of four with our dog, and the house was a perfect space for our stay. Martijn's house is in a convenient location, Purmerend, in a nice and quiet neighborhood with convenient access to supermarkets and restaurants. The location has easy access to Amsterdam (in 30 minutes by car or public transportation) and to other attractions, like Dutch villages Zaanse Schans and Volendam within 20 minutes by car. There are nice beaches within 30-40 minute drive, and it is also easy to go north or south to explore anywhere in the Netherlands from the house. Martijn is a warm and responsive host. He is very flexible and helpful in providing information. The house is well equipped with almost everything you'd need for a relaxing holiday with family. Overall, we had a really enjoyable stay and would definitely recommend Martijn's house for a summer holiday!

Would highly recommend this place, we had a wonderful stay - only problem that it was too short. Well located, easy to find. Ebbie met us at the property with a warm welcome and it felt like she had opened her home to us. The property had everything that you could ask for and more, so we felt like we were getting a real dutch living experience. Edam is so beautiful, the people so friendly. It was so easy to pop in to Amsterdam for the day. A much better experience than staying in Amsterdam itself.

Our 8-day stay in the Holland countryside was nothing short of amazing! From the moment we arrived, the check-in process was smooth and straightforward—everything was clearly explained and easy to follow. The hosts were incredibly warm and welcoming, making us feel completely at home from the start. The house itself was spotless—super clean and fresh, clearly cared for with love. It looked exactly like the photos and matched the description perfectly, which was such a pleasant surprise. We also really appreciated the helpful instructions and thoughtful local recommendations that made exploring the area so much easier and enjoyable. The rural setting was absolutely beautiful—peaceful, quiet, and surrounded by nature, yet still very walkable. We spent many mornings simply enjoying the serenity of the countryside. This stay was an absolute gem and a fantastic deal for everything we got. We’re very grateful for the experience. Highly recommended! ☺️❤️

Johan's place is a real gem! It is located in Volendam, which is a lovely location in itself, with harbour, lots of shops and restaurants, walks and easy access to the bus into Amsterdam and Zaanse Schans. We parked for free about 150m walk away, and used Johan's helpful video instructions to find the house easily. The house is like an Ikea showroom, excellent use of space and there was plenty of room for four of us. We slept very well as it is a peaceful area. Lots of hot water for showers, too. We would really recommend a stay here, as it exceeded our expectations both in terms of the house and the Volendam area. We visited the Upside Down House, A'dam Lookout and swing, Our Lord in the attic museum, Zaanse Schans and went on a boat cruise with Those Dam Boat Guys. Would recommend it all. One last tip...we bought a GVB regional public transport ticket which allowed us to travel all over the place by bus, ferry, train and Metro with no hassle. Thankyou, Johan and Jessie!

We really enjoyed our stay in Edam it was a beautiful little town with canals and lots of greenery.. very easy to get a bus to and from the city centre of Amsterdam and nice to come back to such a warm cozy space at the end of a day of exploring. We stayed over new years and the fireworks did not disappoint Edam knows how to put on a show! Claudio was extremely helpful and kind he even helped us get back inside when we locked ourselves out one night. Checking in was easy even when I had communication issues on my end. My friends and I highly recommend.

We had such a lovely time here! We stayed at Anje place with our 4 year old. The house was easy to get into using a key safe, check in was therefore flexible. The house is light and airy, really beautiful, we felt relaxed and tight at home. Our son absolutely loved it too, all the ‘new’ toys, trampoline, outdoor toys and books. The kids’ bed were a big hit too! It is a very child friendly house! Hector the cat is very gentle, enjoys company, ans super easy to look after, we all really enjoyed him being around. Lovely modern bathroom. Useful to have access to a washing machine with young children! Edam is stunning, and not too touristy. Anje recommended a beach and a restaurant, ice cream that we went to and both were great. Cycling around the area was fab too!

I feel quite lucky to have stayed at a number of great airbnbs in the past. However, this apartment and in particular the warmth and hospitality from Marja and Jos easily make it the best airbnb experience we've ever had. The space is wonderfully cozy and the location cannot be better (especially for the food market on Wednesdays) . Marja and Jos went out of their way to make us feel at home on our first day through to our last. They also have bikes to rent, which is terrific to explore some of the neighboring villages. Transport to/from Amsterdam is incredibly easy and efficient too, so it can be a great homebase to spend time in the city if that's what you are looking for. I highly recommend this lovely home and spending time in Edam. We absolutely loved it and hope to return very soon.

Thank you Irene and her family. We had a great time at her place. The king size bed is super comfy (I forgot to ask her what is the brand of the mattress😅) Irene prepared everything to welcome our stay, a well detailed instruction, also mention the heat control. We were lucky to have sunshine days at her place, in the centre of the farm fields, next to a quiet river. I would recommend small family to stay at this place, two sofa bed fit for young kids. If you self drive, easy access to Edam, Voledam, Marken area. Just a little remind, the shower room, washroom locate downstairs, need to walk up and down from the studio.

The place was surprisingly amazing, the house was clean and had everything needed for a fine holiday. I highly suggest people to stay there. There are 2 couples bedroom and a huge bedroom with 7-8 beds. A huge dining room, kitchen was nice. A big balcony with sofas and tables. You can have a fine dinner just outside as there are many restaurants. We got 15% discount on one meal which was a great deal. You can find any means of transportation with in 15 minutes walk. All kinds of shops are avaliable in the area. Amsterdam central is not so far away. Everything was good. Highly recommended. 🤩🤩

Michel and Angelique’s place was adorable. It was decorated beautifully and looked just the photos. The hosts are so thoughtful and you can tell they pride themselves in the space. The town itself is so picturesque and beautiful to walk around. The bus station is a close walk away with a short bus ride into Amsterdam. Would stay here again.

Cute spot for a vacation

Had a great stay at Martin’s place. It is a very beautiful area and comfortable place. Totally recommend! 😁

A fantastic apartment. So much peace and privacy and that in such a central location. Great. To come back more often! Thank you for the hospitality

Thank you very much for the very pleasant stay. We had a great time! Location ideal for a trip to Amsterdam or to cycle to cycle to the area. Exceptional the atmosphere on the terrace overlooking the nature reserve! Glad to come back!

The stay was very nice... The place was clean, cozy and as described. Yafit and Jerry are very friendly and helpful. The location was ideal for our trips to Amsterdam – you can get to the city quickly and easily by both bus and bike. If you are looking for a cozy and well-connected accommodation for an Amsterdam trip, this is the place to be.

We had a lovely stay at Ingrid’s airbnb. Check in was easy and Ingrid was a very flexible host (allowing us to check in earlier than anticipated as the apartment was ready). The apartment was very clean and cosy. We enjoyed the peaceful, quiet location of the apartment, with it being just a short 15 minute walk from the metro station (Noord), and in a very picturesque town! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, thank you Ingrid!!

Very cozy apartment, everything is available. There is a very beautiful park outside, and it is very comfortable to sunbathe on the balcony. The kitchen is the highlight, you can find all the food you need, only you can't find it. You can make a delicious breakfast in the kitchen. The landlord is also very kind, showing up at the door on time to open the door for the travelers, and preparing a lot of small gifts for the travelers. Overall, this Airbnb is a very big surprise.

Excellent location for exploring Amsterdam. The park nearby is an added bonus. This place is close to everything one needs for a comfortable, restful stay. Nathan was a great host.

Second stay at Monique's apartment in less than a year. Nice apartment, very well maintained, very bright, in the northern sector of Amsterdam, away from the crowds of tourists, but very easy to access to the tourist center of Amsterdam. In addition, the apartment is very safe, nicely decorated, with quality bedding, duvet and towels. We recommend this apartment without hesitation and we plan to return if the opportunity arises. Thanks to Monique and Niels.

We were guests for a short trip with friends Ajay and were thrilled with our stay. Great, clean apartment, quickly accessible public transport and also walking distance to the city. We will be happy to come back!

Great location, right next to the Metro. Enough local restaurants, and very easy to get to Centraal. Can walk to the ferry station even, and get to Centraal for no cost. A little distant for organized, out of town tours. Ended up having to go to Centraal for them. Wonderful place to stay in for visiting Amsterdam.

Tim & Elizabeth were awesome hosts. When we first arrived, Tim picked us up at the ferry dock and offered to drive us to the grocery if we shopped when we first arrive. They also brought us croissants & orange juice one morning and had us over for drinks the evening before we left. The houseboat is a 15-20 minute walk from the free ferry which takes you directly to the Central Station. There are also a couple groceries and a few restaurants within walking distance. Multiple modes of mode of public transportation are also available. We loved staying here. Located on a quiet canal with numerous houseboats, it was relaxing and peaceful. One of our favorite morning activities was to feed the swans and other water birds that appear outside the siding door; Tim and Elzabeth provide special kibble for them. If you are looking for a quiet place slightly removed from bustle of central Amsterdam, this is ideal!
