Houseboat holiday rentals in Wadden Sea

We thoroughly enjoyed a long weekend aboard Johan's houseboat, in a great location in the Jordaan! It was an experience simply not available in a hotel or B&B. We drank morning coffee and late afternoon cocktails on the deck whle soaking up the few remaining days of late summer sun. It was ideally located close to neighborhood restaurants, shops, and even weekend organic food and flea market, and a short walk to tourist attractions in the old city center. If not up for a longer walk along the canal to the museum quarter and beyond, a public transportation options were always available nearby. Communication prior to arrival and during our stay was proactive and prompt. The inside of the houseboat was even more spacious than we anticipated, and the beds were comfortable. We'll definitely opt for a stay here during our next visit to Amsterdam!

Beautiful spacious and special place to stay. We had a lovely lunch and drink on the terrace on the water. The boat is a great luxury, we have been sailing twice at the end of the day. The beautiful weather makes it even nicer. Contact with the owners was very pleasant and quick. Definitely recommended if you are looking for space, peace and privacy.

We were thrilled with the place, Lots of equipment for kitchen, hygiene and pastime! (Books, DVDS real.) Very cozy furniture and cozy atmosphere as described. If you have any questions, Raoul will respond quickly!

I cannot recommend this boat enough. I wish I was back there right now! What a lovely surprise that it's even better than the photos. Extremely clean, excellent finish, very unique and an overall beautiful space. Location is lovely, a short walk to everything and easy tram access if you don't feel like walking. Leaving the best till last... Sietske is a wonderful and kind host. She couldn't do enough for us and made us feel extremely welcome. Thank you so much for helping make a big birthday even more special!!

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

We absolutely loved our stay at Anouk’s place. It was extremely comfortable for 4 people and had a wonderful living space that felt comfortable and homely. We loved having access to the bikes and despite having inclement weather it was an easy ride to the wonderful Zaanse Schans and the old windmills. Quintessential Amsterdam! The jewel on the crown was when the rain finally stopped, we were able to experience the stunning canal view from the moored boat at the back. Unfortunately the weather hadn’t permitted us to use the boat to explore the other canals but it is definitely something we would love to do on a future visit. Anouk was fabulous at communicating and left comprehensive information for us to make the most of the area. We loved dining at her favourite restaurant and probably made our mark as we were leaving! (Another story!) Ha! We definitely caught the spirit of the place! Could not recommend this highly enough. Thanks for a fabulous stay 🙏🏽❤️

Wow. Pictures do not do this property justice. What a wonderful place to spend a few days!!

Lovingly designed boat and cottage. A beautiful place for paddlers and nature lovers.

We had a great stay at Michael’s place, it was a beautiful house boat in a very peaceful quiet location. It was a good distance to walk to the free boat that runs to Amsterdam central. There was a free bottle of Prosecco in the apartment and Michael even bought us a second and some chocolate for a miscommunication on the first night. The bed was comfy and everything was spotlessly clean. We would definitely stay here again.

Absolutely brilliant houseboat. Super nicely decorated - very modern - equipped with everything you need. It was sparkling clean and cozy. We felt completely comfortable and enjoyed the life on the houseboat very much (a great experience). The boat includes a sup, which we tried despite the season. In and around the boat is very quiet and yet you are almost in the middle of it - it is only a few meters to the actual place. Really great: the supermarket is right across the street. Anita and Diedert are great and very attentive hosts, whom we did not meet in person but the communication with them was excellent. We would love to come again.

Thank you for the beautiful accommodation! We were able to relax and unwind wonderfully. Exactly what we wanted. In the morning and in the evening it was especially nice to hear the toads in the Wangermeer. The houseboat is equipped with screens around the windows, so spiders have stayed outside the house boat. However, those who are afraid of spiders should know that the spiders are outside on the houseboat. Which is quite normal, in nature. However, the small fluttering sparrows regularly take them away :-) The sunrise over the sea was a treat every morning. We'd love to vacation here again. Best regards, Ulrike, Juliane and Jesse

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.

Fern’s houseboat was AMAZING! Hands down my favorite Airbnb ever. Interior was beautiful and well kept. Location was close to so many shops, restaurants and the tram. Fern was very helpful and always responsive. Pepper was easily my favorite part of the stay though 😊 🐈‍⬛ ❤️

We had a lovely extended weekend on the houseboat! The location was fantastic – quiet, right on the water, with beautiful views. The boat was very clean, well equipped and cozily furnished, with everything you need. We especially liked the small terrace, perfect for breakfast or the evening. An absolute recommendation for those who want to experience something different and relax! I'm sure we'll be back.

A really great and clean hostel. Perfect for getting away from it all and unwinding. Thanks Klaas!

We had a wonderful stay on the houseboat! The furnishings and equipment were very tasteful and well thought out. Everything was super clean and well maintained, which immediately gave us a good feeling. The early check-in was possible without any problems - a great extra! The location by the lake is nice and quiet, but the water was very weedy at the time of our stay, which made it a little less inviting for swimming. But there were two SUPs and a canoe for free use.

Valerio’s houseboat was incredible and a true highlight of our trip to Amsterdam. It was very big and had the cutest and most clever details throughout. We stayed a few places during our trip and we all agreed her houseboat was our favorite!!

For me, it was my first time on Airbnb. There were four of us traveling in Groningen. Everything went great, the communication was very nice and warm, the accommodation exceeded our expectations. We would come back any time and can only express our recommendation. Thank you!

I was 100% satisfied with the houseboat from tamara. The only thing I wasn't entirely satisfied with was the booking via Airbnb: I had entered free cancellation in the search options, among other things. However, the free cancellation was only valid for 24 hours after the booking. I wasn't so familiar with that and I find it a little borderline!

Very cozy houseboat with extensive amenities, uncomplicated use of a skiff to explore the beautiful lake area. Very nice hosts. Town with shopping and some restaurants a few km away. A wonderful short break.

We had a great time staying at the houseboat. It‘s a fun experience to be right on the water, and centrally located to many of the city’s destinations!

We felt very comfortable for the long weekend. If there were any problems, you got answers right away. We would choose this accommodation again at any time 😊👍 Thank you for the time out, rest and relaxation 😊

Hjalte’s place was great and looked just like the pictures. It was easy to find with the directions he gave us and he was very responsive and helpful with any questions. If the weather is good you can jump in the water and go for a swim. Only downside was that the weather was really hot during our stay and the houseboat heated up pretty quick, which is ok if you open the windows in the evening. We had a great time there and would recommend it!

Wonderful weekend spent on the Karma. Recommended. Clean and a very nice location to be. The stove did not work properly, (flame kept going out) but after some perseverance and sliding with the pits, it worked fine. We also missed a cheese slicer and some dish soap. That was the only thing, otherwise excellent. There were fresh eggs ready at hatching, clean bedding and towels. Totally super. 😊
