Houseboat vacation rentals in Haarlemmermeer

The houseboat itself is a dream and super well located, if on the one hand you love the beauty and tranquility of the countryside, sheep and green meadows on your doorstep but on the other hand also like to go to the beach or to the cities. The train is quickly reached and this is a big plus in the parking situation in Amsterdam. Leonora and Erwin were easy to reach and always there for us when we had questions. Super nice hosts! Thank you so much dear ones!

We thoroughly enjoyed a long weekend aboard Johan's houseboat, in a great location in the Jordaan! It was an experience simply not available in a hotel or B&B. We drank morning coffee and late afternoon cocktails on the deck whle soaking up the few remaining days of late summer sun. It was ideally located close to neighborhood restaurants, shops, and even weekend organic food and flea market, and a short walk to tourist attractions in the old city center. If not up for a longer walk along the canal to the museum quarter and beyond, a public transportation options were always available nearby. Communication prior to arrival and during our stay was proactive and prompt. The inside of the houseboat was even more spacious than we anticipated, and the beds were comfortable. We'll definitely opt for a stay here during our next visit to Amsterdam!

I cannot recommend this boat enough. I wish I was back there right now! What a lovely surprise that it's even better than the photos. Extremely clean, excellent finish, very unique and an overall beautiful space. Location is lovely, a short walk to everything and easy tram access if you don't feel like walking. Leaving the best till last... Sietske is a wonderful and kind host. She couldn't do enough for us and made us feel extremely welcome. Thank you so much for helping make a big birthday even more special!!

Lovely home Perfect neighborhood to stay if touring Amsterdam Host extremely responsive to any of our needs

We absolutely loved our stay at Anouk’s place. It was extremely comfortable for 4 people and had a wonderful living space that felt comfortable and homely. We loved having access to the bikes and despite having inclement weather it was an easy ride to the wonderful Zaanse Schans and the old windmills. Quintessential Amsterdam! The jewel on the crown was when the rain finally stopped, we were able to experience the stunning canal view from the moored boat at the back. Unfortunately the weather hadn’t permitted us to use the boat to explore the other canals but it is definitely something we would love to do on a future visit. Anouk was fabulous at communicating and left comprehensive information for us to make the most of the area. We loved dining at her favourite restaurant and probably made our mark as we were leaving! (Another story!) Ha! We definitely caught the spirit of the place! Could not recommend this highly enough. Thanks for a fabulous stay 🙏🏽❤️

We had a great stat at Karina’s boat house. It is probably one of the more unique locations we’ve stayed at. From the Central traine station you jump on the free ferry across the channel and then walk for about 5 mins to get to the boathouse. There are bars and restaurants close to the hose. On the same street as the boathouse is the ONS restaurant/bar which is really worth a stop. The boathouse is small but it has a small kitchenette and a roomy bathroom. There is a terrace right outside the door that rests on the water. Beautiful place to have a morning coffee or an apperitif in the evening. The sleeping arrangements were fun and definately something new for us. Somewhat nostalgic as you climb a ladder to get up to the bunkbed like mezzanine bed. Felt like a kid again! The neighborhood is quiet and tucked away from the hussle and bussle of downtown Amsterdam. Yet it only takes a quick walk and a 4 mins ferry ride to be right in the middle of everything. Highly recommend!

Beautiful houseboat in a great location and easy access to all of Amsterdam. The houseboat was warm and cosy and perfect for our short stay. Hanco is a great host

Great space, great host! Hadewych was so responsive and helpful. I just loved the charm of the boat, it was a really neat experience! The bed was SO comfortable, I slept wonderfully. I do wish the couch was more comfortable though, was not conducive to getting comfy after a long day out exploring. It is an older boat so smells a bit musty and a few cobwebs in the chandelier, but you are able to open the windows and get the fresh air in which is very nice. Kitchen was well equipped, just didn't have a freezer which I wanted to store ice and ice cream etc. Had a problem with the pump but Hadewych was quick to remedy the situation. The location was superb - there was a fantastic grocery right around the corner (the produce is delicious!!), a lot of restaurants, cafes, etc. Overall a really great experience that I will cherish!

We had a great stay at Michael’s place, it was a beautiful house boat in a very peaceful quiet location. It was a good distance to walk to the free boat that runs to Amsterdam central. There was a free bottle of Prosecco in the apartment and Michael even bought us a second and some chocolate for a miscommunication on the first night. The bed was comfy and everything was spotlessly clean. We would definitely stay here again.

We were so lucky to be able to stay in such a beautiful place! The beds were comfy, the surroundings were peaceful and beautiful... it was a lovely escape from the busy, city-center. We LOVED the use of the kitchen and the deck just off the kitchen. Hein was so good to have bikes available for us. There is little available directly near the home but a 10 minute bike ride along the lovely road and over the bridge gets you to all you could want. We were sad to leave our Amsterdam home and will hope Hein's home is available when we return.

We had a wonderful weekend at Justin's. We felt comfortable immediately and everything was very clean. From the accommodation you can easily make excursions to Leiden, The Hague or the sea. The place is very private and quiet. Justin always responded quickly to our messages and was flexible with check-in and check-out times. I will recommend the accommodation! 😊

We felt very comfortable. Great nature everywhere, very quiet, swimming and especially an ideal starting point for bike tours. Restaurants and supermarket nearby. I'm sure we'll be back.

Fern’s houseboat was AMAZING! Hands down my favorite Airbnb ever. Interior was beautiful and well kept. Location was close to so many shops, restaurants and the tram. Fern was very helpful and always responsive. Pepper was easily my favorite part of the stay though 😊 🐈‍⬛ ❤️

Amazing place to stay ! Katarina and Ralph are super friendly and so welcoming ! Couldn’t recommend it more ! Definitely coming back :)

Very nice little boat for a short trip. Please note, one of the 2 beds (the one at the back of the boat) is not very large, you may be cramped if you are over 1.75 m tall. Toilets and showers are shared and on the pontoon but remain clean. Quiet environment with supermarket and bus within walking distance. The host is responsive, available and accommodating👍.

Our stay at Claire’s place was nothing short of magical. The location is hard to beat in the heart of Jordaan, steps away from great Dutch cafes, every restaurant we ate at was within a ten minute walk, every one was fantastic. As well as minutes walk from transit. Somehow though being in the middle of everything, being on the water in this houseboat makes you feel like you’re in your own private oasis. Claire has great taste, her home is designed impeccably, with one of the major highlights being the record player, listening to classics like the Beatles, Bowie, The Doors while sitting on the back porch taking in the incredible view of the canal. Bonus was the most efficient washer dryer I used during my 3 week stay in Europe and the large dishwasher. Had we stayed longer, we would have cooked, there was a fully stocked Chefs kitchen. Thanks for the perfect end to our adventure!

We were on the houseboat with two adults and two children (11 + 13 years) for an extended weekend. It was really fun! Especially for the two teenagers. The houseboat is new, clean and exploring the area with the small dinghy (tender) was a great experience for everyone. However, a mosquito net for the bed is recommended. Even in October it is still warm enough in the boat and the small oven (pellet) is completely sufficient for this time of year. The price is fine, because entertaining the houseboat seems quite elaborate to me.

Rental for a romantic weekend discovering Amsterdam. Beautiful accommodation, great location, 15 minutes from the city in question with proximity to shops and what you need. Clearly matches the photos with a beautiful terrace on the waterfront and even a UV cabin in the shower!!! Erica is a great host who explains everything correctly in advance, and who gives the necessary information to facilitate the weekend. No complaints and I'll keep this address in a corner of my good addresses for a future visit!! If you hesitate, you can go for it without a second thought, you won't be disappointed! 🤩 5 stars and even more if possible ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This experience, I will call it an experience because it is more than a houseboat, was incredible, I even consider it my top 1 location on Airbnb, Frans and his wife are incredibly kind making us feel at home, the house has absolutely EVERYTHING we need including a first aid kit, Frans also provided us with 2 bicycles that made it much easier to go to the market and the bus station, we were very well received and we only did not stay longer because the house had no available date🥲, but we loved it, and I am looking forward to returning.

We absolutely loved our stay in Haarlem. Annamieke and family were wonderful hosts, really flexible around our late night check-in and perfectly open & hospitable. The place was clean, cosy, contemporary & very comfortable and the location couldn’t have been better; right in the water and just a short walk to the town & the train station. We loved it & would absolutely recommend it…can’t wait to stay again in the near future x

In short: everything was to our satisfaction! The accommodation for two people is sufficient and it was super cozy to stay there. The small balcony invites you to linger and you have a beautiful view of Haarlem. The small supermarket around the corner is practical, so you can easily cater for yourself. I highly recommend the accommodation!!

We stayed in houseboat number 6 for a long weekend and were very satisfied with it. The few boats that pass by during the day do not disturb, otherwise there is no other houseboat in direct line of sight and you are really self-sufficient from everything. We had brief problems with the oven and the toilet, our messages were responded to quickly and a technician came by. At the start of the season, this can happen and it did not spoil our recovery. We'd love to come back anytime!

We had a very nice stay in this houseboat. It is perfectly furnished, super clean and quiet. Great for relaxing and relaxing. A small outdoor area with chairs was also available and we liked it very much. Free parking directly in front of the door and uncomplicated communication with the hostess!

I had the pleasure of staying at the Surla Houseboat for two nights, and I must say, it was absolutely spiffing! From the moment we stepped aboard, we knew we were in for a great experience. The view from the boat was simply marvellous, providing a picturesque backdrop that made us feel like we were in a postcard. Our stay was nearly perfect, save for a minor hiccup with an appliance that went on strike after a power cut. However, a quick call to the host resolved our woes. The host was remarkably attentive and sprang into action like a superhero in a cape (well, not literally, but you get the picture). Thankfully, the stunning environment and the overall experience more than made up for the temporary blip in appliance functionality. Wendy, the lovely host who introduced us to the houseboat, was incredibly nice. She gave us a detailed tour and explained everything with such precision that it
