Family-friendly vacation rentals in Netherlands

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!

What a lovely place in an oasis of peace. We were with 4 friends in the beautiful stay of Aljanneke. An oasis of peace and nature and a beautiful house with all modern amenities and comfort. Aljanneke is a super host! Nice communication and full of good tips, someone who fully understands hospitality. We would definitely come back!

Fabulous stay at Cottage Paulus What a great experience! The forest cottage "Paulus" is tastefully decorated and is located in a beautiful, quiet place in the middle of nature. Exactly what we needed to completely recharge. We were there with our two dogs, and they too had the time of their lives. The spacious, fully fenced garden was perfect – safe and large enough for endless snooping and scrambling around. Fareen, the hostess, is incredibly friendly and helpful. From the first contact, everything felt familiar and relaxed. She was quick to respond to questions and made us feel very welcome. Highly recommended for anyone who loves peace, nature and an animal-friendly place with character. We will definitely come back!

The place is quite compact, but it has everything you need. Is well suited for a short trip and for relaxation.

The place was just fantastic. Quiet location near Amsterdam. Great amenities. Sauna and hot tub included. Also a huge grill that worked great. Suitable for a relaxing weekend with family and friends. And a trip to Amsterdam is also included. The hosts were very friendly, always responded quickly and were also flexible with the arrival and departure times. There was everything you needed. Highly recommend.

The apartment right on the water is really a quiet oasis to relax. We had a very nice time and were delighted with the little touches for breakfast. Communication with Ina was very kind and straightforward. We would recommend the place for a relaxing, quiet vacation at any time.

We had a great time during our girlfriend weekend. A lovely cottage with nice amenities. Everything was thought of. We also enjoyed the outdoor space very much. Perfect for a weekend with friends or family. Hari is incredibly friendly. We will be happy to come back!

Very nice little cottage in a quiet location. If you adjust that you have little space (except in the bathroom), the accommodation is very nice and recommended. The hot tub on the patio invites you to relax. There is outdoor lighting for cozy evenings. If you like animals around you, you are also in the right place. On the farm there are horses, chickens, llamas, dogs and a camel. We felt very comfortable and would come back again.

I spent a few nice days with my dog at Siennie's place. Check-in and check-out were straightforward, parking is available directly at the house. The place was clean and there was everything you need. Shopping and restaurants are within walking distance. The highlight was of course the beach within walking distance. Unfortunately, you only find out on site that dogs are not allowed on the sofa or in bed. It would have been nice to get this information before booking. Apart from that, everything else was perfect, and I felt very comfortable at the place.

Patries and Mike are phenomenal hosts and good-hearted people - both to their guests and their animals on the farm. The love for their farm can be felt immediately and the atmosphere is unique. Great tips and recommendations that they give for a wonderful stay. Both us and our two dogs felt incredibly welcome. We would come back anytime.

This is our third time staying at Tine’s cottage over the past nearly ten years. It feels like a home away from home. We love Tine and she treats everyone like family. In case you don’t know already, this cottage sits on a quiet street, with its own private parking, entrance, and privacy. It is a very short walk into the backside of Zaanse Schans by the Windmills. You can borrow one of Tine’s many bicycles or simply walk the flat peaceful lanes into the open air park and experience clogs making, cheesemaking, stroopwafels, historic homes and neighborhoods well preserved, shops and gifts, a museum, and the most beautiful intact and functioning windmills you’ll find anywhere in the area - plus much more. It’s only 7-8 minutes to the Zaanse Schans train station and a straight shot in 15 minutes on the train to Centraal Station. Also very easy to get to Keukenhof via train, car, bus, etc. Grocery stores and restaurants close by. Our favorite spot out of all we’ve stayed at in Holland!

Quiet accommodation in the countryside. Trienie is responsive, welcoming, very helpful and kind like the people residing in the Netherlands. Listing matches the descriptions. Very good stay at Trienie's.

We stayed for a couple of days while visiting Amsterdam and Leiden - it was fantastic for the train and a real quiet cosy little place Kitty was a lovely host, she sent the most comprehensive directions I’ve ever gotten to find the place from the station and was super speedy to respond. Thanks for having us 😊

Jos is the friendliest Host I have ever met. He was so kind, that we felt right at home from the start.

We had a wonderful stay in the former school under the wings of an old mill. Beautiful, green area where it is very quiet. Sanna is a friendly host who responds quickly and helps where she can. This house is very spacious and clean, with an enclosed garden that you share with the neighbors. Highly recommended!

We enjoyed a lovely long weekend at Boeren Biezen! The cottage has everything you need to cook, good beds and a nice sitting area. Margareth and Freddy are incredibly hospitable and do everything they can to give you a nice time. We ate paella together, bake pizza and cared for the horses. You don't have to go far for fun trips to Sluis, Groede or Het Zwin. Super!

We enjoyed our stay at Wendela's. We were warmly welcomed. The "Rosenhäuschen" was exactly what we had imagined. It was our home away from home. And we'll be back for sure.

very nice little cottage. Fresh flowers on the table and cookies. We felt very comfortable. The Schoorlse dunes are easy to reach, about 6 km and it is a great landscape for hiking. The kitchen has everything you need, comfortable beds.

Our daughter and her boyfriend were in the tiny house a few days ago, last year our son with girlfriend and the young people were all absolutely enthusiastic about the place!

Had a lovely weekend in this spacious home. All amenities are available. Also enjoyed the infrared sauna.

Jet's vacation home was great! We went with 5 girls on a girlfriend weekend and this was exactly a house we were looking for, nice and large, large dining table where the 5 of us painted and had a nice meal. Plus and deep fryer a 3-minute drive which was very nice. The cottage itself was incredibly neat and clean on arrival and we were warmly welcomed. The shower was very top! Very spacious and wonderfully warm in the bathroom. Enough towels and other items are available. And the sleeping loft was fantastic!!! Sleeping together and waking up with a lovely sunrise;) Slept well in nice beds! And the location was completely fine for us. We were in Nijmegen in 20 minutes. And 20 minutes away from a scooter rental where we were able to rent 5 great choppers to drive through Maas and Waal land for an afternoon. In short, very much enjoyed this weekend!

Nice cottage in wooded area. Great for a few days to relax. Fully equipped.

Such a beautiful, calm location. Fairly easy to get around and into Amsterdam and nearby towns, lovely base location and wonderful to come home to waterfront views and her beautiful gardens after a busy day. Clean, quiet and cozy, couldn’t ask for more! Magdalena and her husband are both very sweet. Lots of children’s toys and games which our kids loved. The stairs are quite narrow so might be something to lookout for with toddlers or younger children. She also served us a lovely breakfast which was great to start our days of exploring.

A very pleasant stay in the little house of Isabel and Bert. Everything was very comfortable, well appointed house and what a beautiful garden! We even had a visit from birds and squirrels. The kids loved being able to access the pool. Bedankt Isabel en Bert:)
