Family-friendly vacation rentals in Zaanstad

Casa preciosa i super comfortable per una estada en família, amb canal davant i jardí molt cuidat en un poble tranquil i molt bonic. A 30 minuts en cotxe d'Amsterdam. També es poden fer excursions en bicicleta des de De Rijp. Comunicació fàcil amb l'amfitriona, sempre disponible. Tres gats maquíssims et fan companyia durant l'estada :)

Great location along Amstell River, not too far from Cafe center of trendy "De Pijp". An easy bike or tram ride down to the city center. Good swimming spots can be found along the river on the opposite bank. House was clean and comfortable, the roof deck was lovely to sit out on in the evening.

De boerderij ligt op een prachtige locatie, met veel ruimte voor parking en activiteiten. De appartementen waren ruim, proper en gezellig en de instructies zeer duidelijk. De eigenaars waren heel vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Wij waren met een grote groep en hebben een heel fijn weekend gehad. Zouden zeker terugkomen als we nog eens in Amsterdam zijn.

Our family had a perfect stay. House was beautiful, close to the city by ferry, restaurants on the waterfront and we even got in a swim just 10mins walk from the house. Was great to be able to use the bikes too. Beds were very comfortable and bathrooms modern and clean with great showers.

This apartment is beautiful and pretty much exactly like the pictures. The garden is a fantastic inclusion, the bathroom is as theatrically fabulous as it looks and it was lovely to be able to play the baby grand piano. The increasingly popular De Pijp area is a short walk across the bridge and we spent most of our time there. A fantastic place to stay in a brilliant location - we’ll be back.

We had a lovely stay at Martine's beautiful home and highly recommend it! We especially loved the outdoor patio, especially when the cats hung out with us. Martine communicated thoughtfully before, during, and after our stay. A few observations to help potential renters: The neighborhood was residential and comfortable, with businesses and transit a 10-15 minute walk away. We heard a comparison that this neighborhood is like Brooklyn to Manhattan, and we think this is apt. Also, unlike most vacation rentals where we have stayed, which seem to be investment properties, this is a lived-in family home, and while it was thoroughly cleaned before our check-in, and was not an issue for us, it is a different feel than some other Air BNB's. And finally, the kitties. This was a major draw for us, they required minimal care, and spending time with them at the end of a longer vacation helped us miss our own pet a little less. We are grateful for the overall experience at Martine's home!

Frank is an outstanding host. He provided fantastic and detailed information upfront. The check-in was smooth, and we were provided with local snacks, and Frank set us up with breakfast for our first morning in Amsterdam. This made it very comfortable after a long trip. Whenever we had a question, Frank replied within minutes. We all had a great and relaxing stay. Our kids often asked us if we could stay inside the house rather than going on day trips. That's how much they enjoyed the place and the cute little garden where they could play with water (you have to watch out for tiny kids that can't swim though). In short, it was fun, and we had a good time.

This is a beautiful and comfortable home in a quiet residential neighborhood. Ilan was a very responsive host who provided lots of information in advance of our stay, and quickly answered any questions we had. It's about a 15-minute walk to the Grote Markt area, with shops and restaurants along the way (including a large grocery store that's just a few minutes from the house). There's also a bus stop less than a minute away with buses to/from the central train station or the beaches. We really enjoyed our stay here and hope to come back again!

I have been to Amsterdam several times, and Martin’s Airbnb is the best accommodation I’ve ever had. Even the best I’ve had in Europe. The terrace is jaw dropping beautiful, it is so close to the Waag in Nieuwmarkt that it feels like you could throw a rock and hit it. The sunsets are absolutely stunning. The best part though: the BED! Not only were the sheets and comforter soft, but the bed is so cozy. It was a perfect place to take refuge at night from a week of exploring Amsterdam. The stairs are steep but Martin insisted on carrying my luggage up and down for me, all 45 pounds of it. The cats are also amazing - very cuddly and sweet. You also have the option to lock the cat door if you wish. Even as a solo traveler, I felt very safe even though it is in the red light district. If you take a right out of the Airbnb you won’t even be in the red light district, it is perfectly on the border. This was an incredible stay and I can’t wait to be back!

Incredible luxury townhouse, very spacious and packed with everything we needed for our stay. It is located in a quiet neighborhood away from the vibrant city center yet in a very convenient location to either walk or take public transportation to all major tourist attractions and the city center. Just around the corner from a street market, coffee shops and restaurants. The communication with Emilie was flawless and timely. I can't say enough about how great it was our stay. Emilie went above and beyond to make sure were comfortable and had a great stay. She provided local recommendations for food, activities for kids and babysitter services. Highly recommended. Definitively coming back when in Amsterdam.

Very nice place in the heart of Amsterdam and yet nice and quiet inside. The loft has an incredibly comfortable bed while there is a very acceptable sofa bed below. There is also another solution for a smaller individual who wants to sleep alone. The kitchen is well appointed, no microwave but everything you really need. Andrew was very responsive, and the lock system works really well, giving multiple people free movement.

Roger’s place and hospitality made the trip to Amsterdam more enjoyable. The location is superb in a quiet area. Clean, spacious & well equipped. Roger was responsive and helpful. Definitely will consider coming back!

Casa di campagna accogliente e pulita, con vista su un mulino a pochi passi. Ampio soggiorno, cucina nuova. Apprezzata la presenza di caffè, olio, sale, pepe, bagnoschiuma, ecc. I maiali e il cane sono molto socievoli, anche con i bambini, per i quali sono presenti anche altalena, dondolo, tappeti elastici. Esther e Erik si sono mostrati molto gentili, disponibili e riservati. Soggiorno rilassante e super consigliato!

Clean, unique flat in a quiet neighborhood in walking distance to everything! Suzanne was a wonderful host! Would highly recommend!

Das Haus von Sophie ist sehr schön, der Garten und die Lage am Wasser sind einfach traumhaft. Es ist alles vorhanden was man im Urlaub braucht, sogar das Boot durften wir benutzen. Sophie ist eine sehr nette Gastgeberin, es hat alles wunderbar geklappt und war unkompliziert, danke dafür. Wir haben es genoßen und kommen gerne wieder.

Ein sehr gemütliches Ferienhaus mit allem, was man braucht und noch viel mehr. Besonders gut gefallen hat uns, dass der Strand fußläufig erreichbar ist. Es gibt viele nette Strandbars!

Ein sehr schönes Haus, dass unsere Erwartungen in allen Belangen mehr als erfüllt hat. Der Gastgeber war sehr nett und hat uns sehr ausführlich in das Haus eingeführt. Wir haben uns als Familie hier sehr wohl gefühlt. Die Lage ist fantastisch ruhig am Stadtrand direkt bei den Dünen gelegen und lässt keine Wünsche offen.

A quick ride from Amsterdam Central to a small harbor off the Main Street. Walkable to all the main attractions in Central Amsterdam and an easy spot to catch an Uber if you want to go further. The houseboat was as described on a quiet dock with friendly neighbors and two awesome houseboat cats Bo and Skipper. This was especially important since we were in town when Kings Day occurred and after a walk around the festivities, it was nice to retire from the craziness and relax on top of the houseboat. The host met us onboard walked us through everything and provided easy contact information for use during our stay. Check-out was a breeze. A great find and a great value!

This was a great place for our extended family to stay. Spaces to be together and separate. Close to restaurants and markets, and easy to catch the tram in and out of Amsterdam. Totally recommend it.

Wir hatten das große Glück spontan von Freitag bis Sonntag bei Evelin wohnen zu dürfen. Uns hat die Unterkunft sehr gut gefallen. Am schönsten fanden die Kinder den täglichen Blick in den Kuhstall. Trotz des Kuhstalls hat es nicht gerochen in der Wohnung. Die Umgebung ist traumhaft und man kann wunderbar Land und Leute kennenlernen.

Das gemütliche Hausboot von Harold ist ideal für einen Aufenthalt von ein paar Tagen in Amsterdam. Mit öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln ist man superschnell in der Innenstadt! Das Hausboot ist gemütlich eingerichtet und es ist ein kleines Abenteuer, darin zu wohnen, wenn man es nicht gewöhnt ist. Harold ist sehr freundlich und hat uns sogar einen Obstkorb und eine Flasche Wein zur Begrüßung geschenkt!

Great location lovely home. All family have had the best time. You definitely recommend!

We had a truly wonderful stay on Laura’s boat. It was perfect for two people - quiet and private, yet close to all of the excitement of Amsterdam. It was so fun to live like a local on a boat house for a few days! It is a boat, so spaces are small, and if that bothers you, you need to choose somewhere else. But if you want the experience of living on a boat for a few days, you will love this place. Definitely rent the bicycles from Laura! If you haven’t seen Holland by bike, you haven’t seen Holland. We loved this place. I really hope we have the chance to go back someday.

It is a very comfortable and pleasant house, it is also very clean and tidy. Cats are also very cute and smart and living with them is also a pleasant experience. Here we would like to thank our host Sandra for her warm welcome and hospitality!
