Vacation rentals with lake access in Velsen

Ralph and Leonor’s house in Haarlem was a wonderful stay for our family. We loved Haarlem. It is a must stop if you are staying in Amsterdam. We spent just as many days exploring Haarlem and it’s perfectly quaint streets, homes and shops. It’s everything as good as Amsterdam in one place. Ralph and Leonie have thought of everything. The house is so nice and the outdoor garden is perfect to relax with your morning baked goods after a ride to Oscar in the neighborhood. Once you get the hang of the bus just around the corner you can plan full days of exploring Amsterdam! Ralph and Leonie were great hosts, very responsive and easy to communicate with. I highly recommend a stay here!

Alexander and Marijete's place was a delightful place to spend a week exploring Haarlem, and Holland. The house is beautiful and comes with everything you would expect to find in a family home and more. This suited us perfectly, and our Toddler really enjoyed playing with the toys and games which were a great bonus. The house is located in a nice quiet neighborhood, in walking (or biking on the included bikes) distance from Haarlem; with a good supermarket also nearby. We used bikes or bus (bus stop 2 mins) to get into town, which allowed us to connect via rail to Amsterdam in around 20 mins. The other great thing about Haarlem is that it is equally close to the beaches of Zandvoort and Bloemendaal. The beaches are clean and have good cafes nearby; we were luck to have great weather all week so had two days at the beach. Other recommends: Delft (pottery and great fleamarket), Zansee Schans (Windmills, clogs and cheese), Efteling (magical theme park) Amsterdam (lots to do!)

We had a great week with beautiful sunsets. The huge, well-kept garden is a dream for people and dogs. The area invites you to cycle. You live very rurally, but it is only a short distance by bike to the supermarket and to restaurants.

Roy's house is situated in a quiet local area, offering a peaceful environment. From the house, it's easy to reach Zaanse Schans or the A10 highway within 5 minutes. The A10 provides convenient access to Amsterdam Noord, which can be reached in 15-20 minutes. We parked our car at P+R Noord, from where we used a GVB day ticket (9 Euros) for our travels within Amsterdam. Parking at P+R Noord is just 6 Euros per day when you arrive after 10:00 am by validating with a GVB day ticket. Roy's house was exceptionally clean and well-equipped, especially with numerous toys that our children loved. Roy was friendly, helpful, and always quick to respond to our questions. We were very happy with our stay at Roy's house and look forward to visiting again in the near future.

The house is beautiful and is fully equipped. You'll find everything you need and a good internet connection. Roeland was a great host and was always responsive and helpful. I absolutely recommend the place!

We had a great stay, beautiful setting close to the train station. Well-equipped. Bonus view of the chickens, cows, swans and hares. Thanks, we'll be back

Guido was an amazing host. He was very responsive and flexible with us on our trip. The Airbnb was exactly as pictured and made for a great home while visiting Amsterdam! Would recommend

One of the best Airbnbs we’ve stayed in! It was spotlessly clean (not a speck of dust anywhere!), everything had been thought of (including a welcome bottle of bubbles!), it was spacious, and very convenient for public transport....oh, and stylishly decorated! Being close to the train station meant that we could easily get into central Amsterdam, as well as go on day trips to Rotterdam and Zaanse Schans during our stay. Our favourite day was renting bikes in Zaanse Schans for the day and enjoying cycling through the countryside. Very happily recommend this place to others looking for a base near Amsterdam.

Very nice place to visit Amsterdam and the surroundings.

We really enjoyed Sabine and Sander's place! It was beautiful and we loved the interior decor and the ability to open many of the windows. It felt super clean and comfy and was exactly as described, and they were super responsive with all of our questions. Haarlem was very walkable with lots of shops and restaurants, and it was super easy to take the train into Amsterdam. We'll miss this place and we would definitely recommend staying! Hope to come back again; highly recommend.

Wonderful peaceful place to stay!

I had a wonderful stay! Elton was very friendly and welcoming, making the experience smooth from start to finish. The place itself was lovely—clean, cozy, and well-kept. It was also very quiet, which made for a relaxing atmosphere. The view was absolutely stunning and definitely a highlight. Highly recommend!

The place fully complied with the description. The host responded promptly to any question. We had spent 3 nice days there and felt very comfortable in the house. We fully recommend the space and the host.

I am original from Haarlem and you can't get a better location than Steven's place. The description matches what you get, the rooftop terrace is fantastic, everything is within walking distance and Steven is just a great host. He is very proactive and asks if everything is ok or if there is something you need him to do. For example I asked if he could maybe arrange a bicycle and I had one the next day. He was also very flexible in the checkout/in times. My flight arrived at 9.30 in the morning and I made it to Haarlem around noon, which was no problem.

Mr. Mike was great, very kind, the house is great and the place is very beautiful. It was a nice weekend.

It was just great! You immediately feel at home. Very nice place to stay, sparkling clean, well maintained. Terrace and view a dream. Slept so well!! Thx ☺️

We had a lovely stay and enjoyed the view. The cottage was clean and tidy and equipped with everything. The view was amazing. Unfortunately, the weather did not allow it, but the beautiful moments we were able to sit on the terrace and the jetty. We stayed in cottage # 5. Highly recommended. Good beds and full equipment in the kitchen.

Beautiful house and perfect host!

Best location for access to Edam. Steps away from the cheese market. Ample parking for an SUV. Bathroom on par with American standards - nicer than most European bathrooms. Washer and dryer are full capacity. Enough sleeping space for a family of six. Playground in front of house. Hosts nice and responsive. Cobbled roads and narrow homes do make Edam not ADA friendly like much of Europe.

We had a lovely stay, thanks!

Such a lovely place to say in a peaceful, friendly village with swimming canal ,all within easy to navigate public transport to central Amsterdam. We had a fantastic time, our host Lonneke was helpful and very friendly. The cottage was very clean and as described. I would recommend staying here.

Angelique was a good and friendly host. She greeted us right on the street, so we didn't have to look any further for the accommodation. The cottage is very lovingly furnished. The location on the water is really good. You have your privacy here. We were also very pleased about the food provided. We had a very nice time.

It is a beautiful accommodation overlooking the lake. The accommodation is small but it offers everything you need and we felt very comfortable from the first moment. There is also a parking lot directly opposite and very good restaurants and shopping nearby. It was a dream to wake up every day overlooking the lake. If the weather cooperates, you can also swim there. Will definitely be back :)

Sonja's place is very nice and privately located. The possibility to kayak through the canals was also great. We will be happy to come back.
