Houseboat vacation rentals in Stichtse Vecht

We had a lovely time on Peter's houseboat. The location is great. Only a 15 minute walk to the station and the center yet incredibly peaceful. Everything we needed was available and we enjoyed the first rays of the spring sun on the dock in front of the houseboat. The daily visit from a group of geese was quite the highlight for our little boy. Peter welcomed us when we first arrived and was very accommodating and responsive to our questions. We explored the corners of Utrecht and beyond with the bike and can only recommend this lovely city. So many beautiful historic buildings, lovely canals and quaint little cafes and shops. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to others.

This houseboat is wonderful and the perfect chilled get away just outside the city centre. Hosts were great with communication and the houseboat was better than we could’ve imagined. Great location with every type of public transport right on your doorstep or if the weather permits a nice walk back into town. 100% would recommend!

Our family loved our stay on Tante Piet in Amsterdam! It was a great way to stay in Amsterdam like a local. The boat was comfortable for two adults and two children (our kids are 12 and 8 and were very comfortable). It was great to have a nice outdoor seating area to spend evenings and one night we used the grill to make dinner. The beds were comfortable for sleeping and the bathrooms were nice. If anyone is worried about feeling movement while on the water, worry not. You don't feel it at all. Siet (+ hubby Frank) is an amazing host. She was friendly with our kids and had great recos on things to do and restaurants to eat at. There were some minor issues – such as the internet going out one day and a power outage another day. But Siet proactively addressed these issues immediately with us and got them corrected as soon as possible ... sometimes before we even realized there was an issue, haha! Staying in this house boat made for a memorable part of our trip to a great city.

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

Excellent séjour chez marie Louise ! Une belle personne et une maison sur l'eau incroyablement mignonne avec tout ce qu'il faut à côté d'Amsterdam accessible en 15min en voiture (nous avons opté pour un parking RAI europaplein et nous avons pris le métro jusqu'au centre d'Amsterdam) malheureusement les P+R étaient très souvent inaccessible donc on a du payer 35€la journée de parking + les trajets metro mais on sy attendait.. J'espère pouvoir revenir un jour !

Great view of the water, bed was different but very comfy. Host went out of her way to add welcome sign so that was amazing. We would definitely recommend this place and would book again!

evdeki herkes huzur, keyif, mutluluk ve sohbet dolu bir tatil geçirdiler. Çok param olsa o evi isterdim Amsterdam'da. Bir daha umarım geldiğimizde yine Hanco'nun evinde kalabiliriz. Sevgiler.

If you are tired of the usual hotels or vacation rental apartments, I can't imagine a better place to stay. I've been fortunate to travel many places and I almost always book a private VRBO or Air BnB and this houseboat probably ranks as one of my favorites. If you really want to experience Amsterdam first hand and feel like a local celebrity, stay here, you will know what I mean... When we come back to Amsterdam, and I'm sure we will, we will definitely find a date to travel when this super cool place is available to stay.

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.

Had a great time at the boat house, I great experience and Pepper the cat was also really cute!

If you are looking to stay on the river in a quiet neighbourhood - on a house boat - it doesn't get better than this. I loved waking up, peering out onto the water. Each morning the rowers are out, people running along the riverbank - it's incredibly peaceful yet full of life. This is a real boat, not a floating house so you have to navigate different levels inside, getting on and off the boat etc. All part of the charm. Martin is a fabulous host. Note: this is the old school airbnb of old - its Martin's home, beautifully appointed, spacious and generously kitted out - with the comfort of a 'lived in' feel. The upper deck is just delightful, full of light and windows and you can sit with your coffee and watch the river-world go by. The area is surrounded by park, but just nearby is a lovely high-street with shops, supermarkets, bars, restaurants and deli's. Trams will take directly into the centre of Amsterdam - everything you need - highly recommended!

wir (4 Personen) haben uns im Hausboot von Jules sehr wohl gefühlt. Das Hausboot ist ausreichend groß und gut ausgestattet. Es ist alles genau wie beschrieben mit sehr gutem Parkplatz direkt am Boot. Das Hausboot ist sehr zu empfehlen. Es ist ein etwas anderer Urlaub. wir kommen bestimmt wieder.

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!

Amazing place. Great location. Memorable view. Elizabeth is a great host who made us feel welcomed and at home. She provided all instructions clearly and was very friendly. The place tempted us to stay longer indoors as you have the canal right by the window and a decking to enjoy the sunshine outside. Definitely recommend this place and the host

Es war sehr schön, ein tolles Hausboot, und lauter freundliche Leute in der Umgebung. Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt, und hoffen wiederzukommen. Thijs ist sehr freundlich gewesen und hat uns immer gleich zurückgeschrieben wenn wir eine Frage hatten. Tolle Unterkunft!

Everything was fine and matched the description. The location is good to make trips, it's close to everywhere.

Un endroit magnifique. La péniche de Joy est apaisante. On s'y sent comme à la maison. La péniche est dans un emplacement calme et très joli et Joy est extrêmement bienveillante et aux petits soins pour que vous passiez un excellent séjour. Je ne peux que recommander ce magnifique logement :)

Esperienza bellissima. L'alloggio, molto bello, è in una posizione ottimale sia per raggiungere Amsterdam che per esplorare i dintorni. Host disponibile e super reattivo!!! Consigliatissimo!!!

Super ruhiges Chalet direkt am Wasser. Richtig toll zum Entspannen. War eine tolle Woche zum Runterkommen :)

Enjoyed our time in the little houseboat, it’s small… but perfectly adequate for our family. Lovely surroundings and the most spectacular sunrises every morning! Would recommend

Esli is incredibly welcoming and always quick to respond to any questions. He was extremely helpful throughout the experience. I would absolutely love to visit his boat again!
