Houseboat holiday rentals in Kaag en Braassem

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 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

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

Thank you for hosting us Karina! We absolutely loved how cosy and beautiful your boathouse was, will definitely be staying again :)

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

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!

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.

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 really enjoyed it. The surroundings are quiet and fantastically beautiful. The little cottage is something special. It was well equipped. We felt comfortable.

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 😊 🐈‍⬛ ❤️

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.

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 were extremely satisfied, a beautiful little place on earth and great facilities. Canoes, bicycles, all kitchen utensils. Everything wonderful! Marjan is also very friendly and accommodating

This location is highly recommended! We felt right at home and could enjoy the quiet environment, where we also received visits from a few ducks and swans. You just feel relaxed in this environment. Great for recharging, if you come from Amsterdam, for example. In the area, you have - within walking distance - nice restaurants, but also shops for groceries or fun shopping. Schiphol is nearby, but the air traffic could be heard from a distance. No problems. Beds were clean and exactly right in terms of hardness/softness. Kitchen had everything, so cooking is also possible. Bathroom was also spotlessly clean with a lovely shower cabin. In short, WS11 is listed with us as a super nice stay! Next to our location, we saw WS17 (also from Anne): it was bigger and also looked beautiful. Ideal for families. #recommended

Unfortunately, my family and I were only at Tamara's houseboat for 2 nights. We liked everything very much and we are considering coming again but for a few more days. The contact with Tamara was very pleasant and uncomplicated. Clear recommendation! Thank you very much Tamara

The stay was very, very pleasant and we liked it very much I can only recommend it, it was a really great houseboat Accessibility at all times, they always responded quickly, good communication All in all, I will come back. Many thanks ❤️

Wonderful little houseboat! I stayed here primarily because it was close to the airport but was pleasantly surprised at how relaxing and beautiful the area was! Hope to stay here again someday

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 unwind from everyday life. The houseboat is very lovingly furnished with lots of little details. We lacked nothing. The wellness area with sauna and jacuzzi 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!

We had a lovely time in Mariette's house boat. She was very friendly and welcoming, and despite the poor weather we felt very cosy and comfortable.

We are a group of 3 adults with 1 child, spending 4 days in Holland for a short get-away. We had such a wonderful time. The boathouse location provided both the local adventures to areas connected to the lake and easy access to Rotterdam, Amsterdam, Hague etc. We loved spending idle time watching cows on the farms and ducks in the water as well as taking motorboat out to have dinner in all the nice restaurants within 10-20 minutes of boat ride. My child loved learning how to pilot a boat in the canal. The locals are friendly and helpful. We can't wait to come back for a longer stay next time. Thank you so much, Annemiek and Mark, for making the boathouse available for us to experience it.
