Family-friendly vacation rentals in Oudegracht

Marieke and Den have created a surreal, warmly welcoming paradise. The place is even more beautiful than in the photos - spotlessly clean, thoughtfully designed, and full of mindful, aesthetic details. The beauty lies not only in the decor but also in the little things: the carefully curated books, the wide variety of teas, and the fresh garden herbs available for use. We had contact with both Marieke and Den, and they radiate genuine kindness - while still giving you all the privacy you need. It’s a haven of peace, nature, and presence - the perfect place to find rest and reconnect with yourself. A true place of Zen.

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!

We had a great time in Epe, a very relaxing environment with a beautiful house. 2 Bedrooms with double beds, lovely terrace and a wonderful hot tub. You can order breakfast and also get some of the farm life if you want. There are cats running around, donkeys in front of the cottage and next to it there is a shop that is open 24/7. We will definitely come back!

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.

Nice place to stay for a large group of friends! Glad to come back.

Plenty of room, quiet neighborhood. The M5 bus made our commute to Train then Amsterdam easier. (Approx 1 hour). Loved the 2 free bikes available for us to use. The sauna was a lovely bonus to use at night to relax. Moniek’s was resourceful and actively answering our questions. Alot of gadget in the house, no cable on TV so it was hard for my elderly parents to figure out how to use an intelligent tv with Netflix and all but we managed differently. Area was really nice close to the house but Almere centrum gets a bit suspicious at night so be aware to not be a women alone at night coming back -even locals fidy not recommended.

My family and I had such a wonderful stay on Richard En Birgit's boat. An absolutely perfect location, so many things to do, and so walkable. The boat was so clean and provided the right amount of space for our stay. Thank you so much for hosting us!

We had a fantastic long weekend.

Great place and great hosts. We had a lot of fun and felt comfortable. The accommodation was accessible by boat and we could go shopping by boat. It was a real adventure. The accommodation and the pool were clean. Everything worked out for us ☀️

I’m emotional about leaving this absolute treasure of a rental- wish we could stay forever. We booked Darley’s on the recommendation of well-traveled local friends who literally *moved* to Hilversum after staying here and told us it was the best Airbnb of all time. (These friends also know that I’m finicky about vacation rentals and generally prefer hotels.) I’m SO glad we listened to them. This is, without a doubt, the most beautiful, well-appointed, lavish, thoughtfully stocked, gorgeously furnished, comfortable Airbnb ever, and now I’m probably ruined for all others. It could have been half as incredible for twice the price - we’d still be delighted. I’ve never felt more at home while traveling. We had all the privacy, comfort, provisions, fresh flowers and fruit, random fun perks, great water pressure, immaculate cleanliness, inspiring corners, luxurious linens, and other copious supplies we didn’t know we needed. Thank you, Marielise, for the Airbnb experience of a lifetime. WOW.

Great position! Great starting point for exploring Amsterdam. The apartment was cozy and bright, nice to have a terrace to chill and get some air. Martin was a great host, very welcoming and helpful. He made sure we had everything we needed. Even got us some welcome drinks and cookies!

Mrs. Trienie's hospitality was like a dream. She greeted us very nicely, showed us around the cottage and offered various attractions. We are very grateful for such hospitality and kindness. The area is beautiful - full of greenery, rural animals only complemented this wonderful landscape. The cottage is very cozy and clean. The place had everything we needed for everyday functioning. We are enchanted by everything we have seen in the area and we will definitely return for, I hope, a longer stay. Thank you!

Unreal Airbnb! Perfect location. Super clean. The place had absolutely everything you needed. Andrew has been the best Airbnb host I have ever had. He goes above and beyond for his guests and is so helpful for anything.

It was a great experience on the houseboat! The houseboat is equipped with everything you need and Jeanette is a great hostess. In the immediate vicinity are some bars and restaurants. The Cuban houses and the market hall are within walking distance. Also the metro and tram are not far away. We would rent the houseboat again anytime! Thanks Jeanette, for the great experience! :)

We loved our weekend in the caravans. What a joy to relax there in the evening after trudging through the madness of Amsterdam and Rotterdam! Your garden is beautiful, surprisingly quiet and where it is really nice to relax or play with the children! Favorite for Bacon 🐖🐽 and his friends🐔🐔. Thank you for your kindness, I would have liked to have been able to discuss more with you but as you have noticed, my English is very limited🤣. Good luck and I hope to stay with you again soon! 😊

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.

A week of relaxation among the bustle of the birds. In rainy weather, there is plenty of space inside and in nice weather a very pleasant garden to sit in. Nearby, there is plenty to do, shops are close. Everything is available to cook for yourself. Baking pizza in the pizza oven was also fun to do. Definitely recommended. We felt comfortable.

We enjoyed this beautiful place very much! Everything was perfect, our hosts were very helpful, they always responded to our requests really fast. Location is absolutely stunning, beautiful nature, so peaceful and calm! We recommend this awesome place 100%!

What a nice place where you can perfectly enjoy the peace and facilities with a group. The spacious lawn, basketball court, outdoor area with BBQ and fireplace.. really enjoy. Inside is also top, great in terms of space and a nice bathroom and shower. The hostess and gentleman were very warm and we felt right at home. Absolutely recommended!

had a few nice days in beautiful chalet on very nice park! Everything well arranged! Recommended !!

Great location, super nice boat &canal, quit. Wesen is very beautiful but also close to Amsterdam (only 15 min train).

The cottage is on a small-scale green park, where you can go with your dog. In fact, it was Pentecost weekend and I've never seen so many dogs. All on a leash and only friendly dogs. With a few minutes walk you are in the forest, where - in some places - the dog can also go off the leash. There is also a communal swimming pool that you can use. The cottage is comfortable, the bed is good and also in a nice place where you have no view. Communication with the hostess, Jacq , is perfect. She responds immediately to any question. Thank you for the nice days.

Magdalena welcomed us in a very friendly way and lovingly took care of us. Although we did not book breakfast, she provided us with bread and other treats. The apartment matches the description, the location is beautiful. We will be happy to come back!

With our family (2 kids of 3 and 6 years) we had a good time. There is also plenty to do nearby. Cottage is a great base from which to explore the area. Really everything is present in the cottage; from spices to towels (and Netflix😉). Highly recommend.
