Houseboat holiday rentals in De Ronde Venen

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!

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

This is absolutely lovely houseboat owned by absolutely great people Ludovic and Patricia. We will definitely come back and recommend to all who seek tranquility and refreshing experience.

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

Great space, great host! Hadewych was so responsive and helpful. I just loved the charm of the boat, it was a really neat experience! The bed was SO comfortable, I slept wonderfully. I do wish the couch was more comfortable though, was not conducive to getting comfy after a long day out exploring. It is an older boat so smells a bit musty and a few cobwebs in the chandelier, but you are able to open the windows and get the fresh air in which is very nice. Kitchen was well equipped, just didn't have a freezer which I wanted to store ice and ice cream etc. Had a problem with the pump but Hadewych was quick to remedy the situation. The location was superb - there was a fantastic grocery right around the corner (the produce is delicious!!), a lot of restaurants, cafes, etc. Overall a really great experience that I will cherish!

What a fun experience! And what a terrific host! In a beautiful, quiet neighborhood. Lots of restaurants within walking distance. To say we got to stay on a houseboat in Amsterdam is always going to be a fun memory! But note, it is definitely a boat. You must be fully able bodied to access the boat and get around comfortably inside. The kitchen is suitable for snacks. And as with most European AirBnBs, bring your own bath products.

Henk’s place was perfect for the type of travel we enjoy. It was easily accessible to the bus that quickly brought you to the train station, would have been even easier on bikes. Mornings would double peaceful on the water, watching the bonded Geese and people taking a morning swim, sail and the occasional rowing team. We enjoyed a storm that moved through one evening. The space is precisely as described. Henk gave perfect directions of how to find it from the airport. Even when I was a complete clutz and dropped the house key in the water, he did not panic or give me grief but immediately hired a locksmith to fix the problem before we returned in the afternoon. Very responsive. The overall Noord neighborhood is perfect to escape to from the city but still be plenty close to enjoy anything wanted.

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, three friends, spent three beautiful days in the floating house. The facility is modern and the house is well equipped. The terrace is also great, but not for people with arachnophobia. On the subject of cleanliness, there is still some room for improvement, but we still felt very comfortable.

Staying on this houseboat in the Jordaan was an unforgettable experience! Waking up on the canal each morning felt like a dream—peaceful, scenic, and so uniquely Amsterdam. The location was ideal, tucked in a charming neighborhood with plenty of shops, cafes, and galleries within walking distance. The houseboat was cozy, clean, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Communication with the host was excellent throughout. Highly recommend this special spot for anyone looking to experience the city from a different perspective!

We felt very comfortable. Great nature everywhere, very quiet, swimming opportunities and an ideal starting point especially for bike tours. Restaurants and supermarket nearby. I'm sure we'll be back.

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 😊 🐈‍⬛ ❤️

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 1m75. The toilets and showers are shared and on the pontoon but remain clean. Quiet environment with supermarket and bus a few minutes' walk away. 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!

Mandy’s place was exactly as described and was really well equipped - the sauna was a great bonus. It was really clean and the surrounding lake was a great place to take a break from the bustle of central Amsterdam, as well as the town of Aalsmeer having everything you need for a relaxing break. 10/10 wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.

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!!

Nova Team's place is a great and comfortable space, with all the necessary utensils for a good stay. We had an unforeseen event with the keys and were promptly helped. The host was always available.

Staying on Vera's houseboat was an amazing experience. The boat is decorated so nicely, it was great to relax inside or sit on the porch. Vera and George were very friendly and it was great to meet them. We enjoyed our stay very much!

It’s no surprise that this is booked solid. I’m not sure how we found two nights available but I’m so glad!!! I would live here! Spacious, comfortable, charming. Love the neighborhood!! Don’t wait to grab the availability if it’s there. You will not regret it.

If you want to try the houseboat experience for yourself, you can try it out here in a very uncomplicated way. The view of the water in the morning and the gentle rocking give a special connection to this strong element.

lovely place. would definitely come and stay again

Very nice and quiet stay, the whole place has a very high quality! We liked it a lot and can definitely recommend :-)

This place is incredible. The pictures (which are amazing) don't do it justice. Simply an incredible place, an incredible location, beautiful and immaculate home. We used it as a base to explore the surrounding area. My only regret is that we didn't spend longer in the place itself. Out of this world. If you're hesitating on this listing, don't, book it!!!! The host had fantastic communication also.
