Houseboat vacation rentals in North Sea

The Black Swan houseboat is truly a special place to stay. Leonora and Erwin have thought of every detail, and the space makes you feel instantly at home. If you are looking for a special place to relax with friends or family, you need to consider a stay at the Black Swan. We would certainly return without hesitation.

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.

The boat house was the idyllic haven to return to at the end of a busy day in the city. We had a fantastic family break and the added additions of the bikes and boat were a bonus. Also managed to try the local restaurants. Look forward to visiting again in the future.

We enjoyed the stay on the houseboat! A wonderful spot on the water with a Superhost! Nice rooms, fun games and plenty to do nearby. We have enjoyed the tranquility in the immediate surroundings of Amsterdam. It was wonderful "coming home" on the ark after a busy day in the city. Marie Louise is very cozy and helpful and always ready to help! Really fantastic!!!@

Fantastic experience. We loved it :)

Beautiful houseboat in a great location and easy access to all of Amsterdam. The houseboat was warm and cosy and perfect for our short stay. Hanco is a great host

A unique experience to stay on a houseboat. We had everything we needed in the studio. Clear instructions inside. Coffee, tea and sugar provide. Loved watching the traffic on the Rhine! Very welcoming and responsive host. Would definitely stay again!

This is a special place to stay. You do not sleep in an old cargo ship all days. In addition, there is a separate room where you can sit and eat, with a kitchen and a toilet/bathroom. Well equipped all. The host and hostess are friendly and very helpful. Surroundings are fantastic. We kwamewn to fish and have gotten very much into us. In short, we had a great stay.

Absolutely awesome houseboat. Super-beautifully decorated - very modern - equipped with everything you need. It was sparkling clean and cozy. We felt completely comfortable and enjoyed 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 went very well. We would love to come again.

A great, modern and high-quality furnished accommodation. We felt very comfortable and will definitely come back again. Highly recommended!!

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.

Very nice location, clean, parking available, family 2 adults, 2 kids. Thank you!

Thank you so much to Fern. You were so helpful and accommodating from the initial booking to check out. Your houseboat is absolutely stunning and location was perfect. Stones throw from tramlines and quirky eateries. We will return.

The stay with Frauke and Thomas was super nice and very special! The impeccable and unproblematic communication with Patrick was also great, we were even able to rent the boat spontaneously. An unforgettable weekend, highly recommended and happy to come back!

The houseboat is really an exceptional accommodation. Modernly furnished and very clean. The roof terrace is a real highlight. You can park directly on the jetty, all windows are equipped with fly screens and access to the accommodation was easy as pie. We can only recommend the houseboat. Thank you for the lovely stay!

It was incredibly beautiful there! To unwind for a few days, simply perfect. Always happy to come back :)

We really enjoyed our one night stay. The place is charming, original and easy to get to. We easily found a good restaurant and Aalsmeer is a very nice place. We enjoyed the welcome booklet prepared by Anne who was very responsive and available. The accommodation was clean and functional. We were welcomed and had a very nice stay! It was a great experience sleeping on the water. To be done again!

we had a wonderful getaway on the houseboat as a small family. There was everything you needed. There were many possibilities for business and that we were already allowed to use the sloop was an absolute highlight. If we had a question, we always got a super quick answer. A very nice family, great boat. we would come back any time.

We had a great stay, which made us feel extremely comfortable. The house is just beautiful and Arnold was always helpful and super friendly. We would come back anytime. Thank you for the wonderful time!

Exquisite place, tiny house designed like a boat, where every corner is used and useful. But not too small, we were 3 people and with both beds open there is still place to sit at the table, sit in a couch and move around. Bathroom and kitchen have all it needs. Sleeping on the water was an experience to talk about. The location in the city is close to transports and walkable to the centre across the bridge. We rented their bikes for the day, all impeccable. Easy communication, spotless, fully equipped... all in all one of my best Airbnb stays.

Everything was super easy and the houseboat is really beautiful!

Lovely stay in the houseboat - great transport links via bus or tram to all the tourist sites within a five minute walk and really easy to navigate around Amsterdam. Was nice to come back to a quiet location on an evening after the hustle and bustle. Fabulous bakery next to the tram/bus stop for takeaway or eat in plus several very good restaurants within 5 minutes walk we particularly enjoyed the Indonesian restaurant with a fixed plate of traditional cooking for 16 euros amazing food . We loved using the record player on an evening listening to my old favourites great selection of albums We would definitely stay here again if visiting Amsterdam

it was everything we expected and more. the ducks came for tea 😁 we really enjoyed our stay.

We had fantastic days with our boys. Full days of boating, good food and in the evening on the houseboat. Highly recommended.
