Houseboat vacation rentals in Amsterdam-Centrum

Great boat house. Good location .

A truly wonderful experience on this amazing houseboat. Ruud is a great host whose communication was responsive and informative. The houseboat is spacious and really well laid out - truly felt like home from home. The location is peaceful and quiet. Hope to return.

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!

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.

I am thankful for Eric’s trust and hospitality, his place felt like home to us and was close to everything we needed (beautiful park, supermarkets, restaurants). Eric was a very thoughtful host and I really hope to be back:) really beautiful and joyful home, thank you Eric & family.

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

Anouk's houseboat was the ideal place to retreat and come down. You have everything you need in the houseboat. Was very pleasant to be there. Always happy to come back

There were five of us on site for an extended weekend and felt right at home. Everything was as described and visible in the pictures. Marie is very hospitable. Her houseboat offers a perfect place to relax and feel good. All around a successful weekend. We will be happy to come back.

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.

We had a wonderful weekend at Justin's. We felt comfortable immediately and everything was very clean. From the accommodation you can easily make excursions to Leiden, The Hague or the sea. The place is very private and quiet. Justin always responded quickly to our messages and was flexible with check-in and check-out times. I will recommend the accommodation! 😊

Very peaceful accommodation, the only noises you will hear will be those of ducks and geese. Listing is as described. Everything you need for a pleasant stay. Carla is very responsive. She greeted us when we arrived and had planned small treats for us, which we found very friendly. We would highly recommend and will definitely make a new stopover when we return to the country!

We really enjoyed the opportunity to stay on a houseboat while in Amsterdam and Fern's home was comfortable and relaxing. It was also nice to see a less touristy side of the city - it's an easy tram ride from the city center. Pepper was quite charming and we were delighted with her presence and the patio was a little oasis. Would definitely recommend if you're looking for a more authentic stay.

Very nice little boat for a short trip. Please note, one of the 2 beds (the one at the back of the boat) is not very large, you may be cramped if you are over 1.75 m tall. Toilets and showers are shared and on the pontoon but remain clean. Quiet environment with supermarket and bus within walking distance. The host is responsive, available and accommodating👍.

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!

We had a great stay here, the area is so beautiful and peaceful. The surrounding waterways were teeming with life and we had a wonderful time watching all the ducks geese swans herons and commorants. Plenty to do in Aalsmeer and lots of great restaurants and cafes. The house was lovely, nicely decorated and well equipped. Everything was as described/pictured, the sauna made the stay extra special. It was really easy to find the place with Mandy's detailed instructions and she was very quick to respond to any questions we had.

A lovely houseboat out of the busy fray of Amsterdam with easily accessible public transportation, cafes and restaurants. The birdlife on the canal was a pleasure, including 5 recently hatched baby coots. Liz gave us proper food to give the parents and we enjoyed watching them feed their offspring. Great break from museums and all the activities of Amsterdam.

We had a wonderful time at the Cosy Houseboat! It was a relaxing and beautiful location, and the owners communications and instructions were excellent. The accommodation was well equipped and comfortable. It was a perfect family break and we’ll be back!

This is a perfect 1-3 night experience in Amsterdam! The boat looks and is exactly as it is listed. Kira helped us check in and was very friendly and helpful the entire time! Few things to note if considering: 1.) the kitchen is a hot plate that gets stored away when not using. I would eat out for every meal if saying here. 2.) you have to walk a boardwalk over two other boats to get inside and the doors are extremely skinny… so large luggage is not ideal. Other than that, it is close to the train station, centrally located and very quiet at night! We had a lovely time!

Such a peaceful few days on Lies's houseboat. Perfect for our group of five adults. Lies made really excellent restaurant recommendations which we really enjoyed. Very close to shops and buses, not far to main station. Excellent for cycling.

very nice and cosy experience to live on a woonboot with free pets included (ducks who regularly come visiting). 20 min to Amsterdam...nice location just outside the hustle of the city.

We had a wonderful stay on Erica's houseboat. The location is simply fantastic. Over a cup of coffee or a glass of wine and then this view from the terrace - just beautiful! We were able to really relax and disconnect from everyday life. The houseboat is very lovingly furnished with lots of little details. We lacked nothing. The wellness area with sauna and hot tub deserves the grade 1! Erica is very helpful and communication in advance and during our stay was impeccable. All in all a great recommendation! We will definitely be back!

Family stay (2 adults and 3 children/teens) We had a great time and so we were able to fully enjoy the place. The accommodation is very well-equipped (we were able to cook as we wanted because the kitchen is very well-equipped) The boat and canoe have more for the whole family! It's peaceful and pleasant: a real slice of heaven! (From where we were able to visit Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague, Utrecht…)

A super great place to stay! You wake up in the morning with a view of the water. You can explore the area during the day with the associated boat. You will receive an introduction to this at the beginning. A very special vacation!

Leendert was a wonderful host very friendly and communicative. It was a great experience to spend a few days glamping on a houseboat. It is a little bit outside of Amsterdam which made for a very peaceful stay. The bathrooms in the facility building were always very clean. Throughly enjoyed our stay!
