Vacation rentals in Alkmaar

We had the most wonderful stay in this charming cabin nestled on the property of a windmill in Alkmaar. From the moment we arrived, our hosts Kelly and Han made us feel completely at home. They went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect—so kind, welcoming, and full of great local tips. The cabin itself is a dream—coziness taken to the next level. Every detail was thoughtfully put together, and it was the perfect place to unwind to relax. Waking up next to a windmill felt like something out of a fairytale. Alkmaar itself is a beautiful village full of history, with adorable shops and restaurants to explore. The charming canals add to the magical atmosphere, and it’s easy to hop on a train to Amsterdam for a day trip. We’re already dreaming of our return and feel so lucky to have made such lovely new friends in Kelly and Han. Highly recommend this magical spot to anyone visiting The Netherlands!

We had a great weekend at De Woude. The fact that the cottage is located on an island immediately gives a special feeling when you arrive. It is very central and made trips to Alkmaar, Edam and Schoorl so easy. We also walked around the island, which I would definitely recommend. We only ate at restaurant 't Kombof and did drinks, which was very cozy. Astrid and Steef are super friendly people we chatted with. In short, this accommodation is definitely recommended!

We really enjoyed Jim's guest house with its interesting setting. A very hospitable host greeted us. Bunnies were running around on the lawn and ducks were swimming in the canal. The general atmosphere is very conducive to relaxation. Natalya from Kazakhstan

We went on vacation to the Netherlands and stayed at Judith's house. She was always very attentive to us in case we needed anything, something to eat or whatever. She brought us plenty of food and was always very kind to us. The house is great and we were very comfortable. Thank you very much for everything, Judith!

we had such a beautiful stay at polder's paradise! the bnb was super clean when we came in, and each cupboard had such a cute variety of crockery and vintage homely cups, plates, etc as well as baking equipment and all necessary appliances. the multiple soft lights around the bnb and the dimming chandeliers really gave the bnb a beautiful ambience in the late hours. the internet is super fast there despite being such a ways out from the nearest town, and the tv has everything you need :) the view outside is beautiful, you can sit on the heated porch and watch the sunset/sunrise over the lake! you are situated under 5 mins from a beautiful field of cows and goats where they are also kept in the barn next door, as well as their very friendly dog who likes to free roam around the neighbourhood and came by a few times to say hello :) sonja is incredibly friendly and kept and was in the neighbourhood at the time, and was readily available for any queries we had. we'd definitely return!

The interior was spectacular. Just what i was looking for. The decor was the star of the house. Our group of 9 was very comfortable, especially sitting around the enormous dining table. The bathroom was not adequate for a large group and the bathroom basin too narrow. The attic room was only reachable by a steep ladder and could only be used by a young and fit person. on the other hand, the beds were comfortable and of good quality. In fact everything in the house was quality and that made the stay a success. Thank you Marike.

We really enjoyed staying at LakeLand Cottage. Leigh-Anne was an amazing host, making sure we had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. This is a great place to stay for anyone looking for a weekend away in De Woude.

There were four of us + small dog and we felt completely comfortable - the apartment is located directly in the city center and the view from the living room window is simply a dream! The chimes of the tower are a bit of a pain because it sounds all the time at night - we still slept well. Small info on the side: If some would like to shop a few things beforehand: It's a Nespresso coffee machine in the kitchen;-). The staircase to the apartment is a little adventurous the first time, but you get used to it. Before our arrival, the apartment was probably newly renovated, so you can say: amenities, cleanliness & decoration just great! We will be happy to come back.
