Waterfront holiday rentals in Zaanstad

Our second time at Sebastian’s wonderful Airbnb. This location is perfect as it’s quiet and yet very near the busier sections of town. Sebastian is a terrific host and everything is as described. He is very friendly and makes sure all is well:-) You will not find a better property !

Laura and her husband Arjan were the perfect hosts! Arjan served us breakfast each morning which included a basket of fresh bread, fruits and cheese. Arjan provided us with great recommendations and most especially - showed us how to use the tram system! It is a lovely apartment and they made us feel very welcome.

Very modern furnished apartment, with a beautiful location.

Fantastic apartment in a very good location. And despite being in the heart of the city center, it is very quiet! The apartment feels homey and has everything we needed. Douwe is a great host, who, if desired, has many tips for activities. And we had a good laugh with him. There is no doubt that we will come back here again.

It was very, very nice at Miriam's. She was a great host and we'd love to come back

Fantastic apartment, really clean and comfortable in a great neighbourhood: peaceful but walking distance to everything you could need. Loes and Fokke are wonderful hosts, warm and helpful- we had a brilliant few days exploring the city from the perfect base.

Very amazing accommodation if you wanna have the Amsterdam experience. Both Karin and her husband communicated well and were very nice people. They were also available if you needed help, lived nextdoor. Gave us recommendations on what to visit and how to get there. The public transport was nearby too. Very nice place near the Olympic stadium. Definitely recommend.

“My stay at Evert’s place was 10/5 stars. The location is wonderful - right on the canal, down the street from a lovely cafe and flower shop and central to popular and nontouristy attractions alike. Evert is a wonderful and warm host who has meticulously curated a beautiful and homey flat. He provides extensive resources on the artistic hidden gems of Amsterdam within the flat’s book collection, which I found helpful and charming. The flat is on the second floor of the building owned by Evert and looks onto the canal. Evert welcomed me and showed me how to access the property so I could come and go as I pleased and had the independence and privacy that I desired. Would be a dream to stay here again.

My friend and I choose to stay here, since it was close to Zaanse-Schaans and Amsterdam Noord. And I must say: It’s the nicest Airbnb I’ve ever been to so far. I’d definitely recommend it to others, who’d like to wind out and relax after a very long day in the city and just wanna feel like home: this is the place. Marjolein has put so much love and detail to make this place super cozy. I really loved it. And the neighborhood feels super safe and there are some cafes close by with a nice view of the harbor. Definitely a must stay place, if you’re looking for a relaxing place. Thanks a lot Marjolein for letting us stay here.

Such a beautiful home, we felt so comfortable. It has everything you need and the kids loved the animals and the trampoline. Gorgeous neighborhood, grocery store down the road. Hot water tap and the ice cubes were really nice to have as well. They really went out of their way to accommodate us and suit our special needs, we really appreciate it!!!

We had a really nice stay at Bjorn and Dina’s Airbnb. The location is nice, and the space was kept clean all at a reasonable price. I would recommend a stay here!

We had a great stay, beautiful setting close to the train station. Well-equipped. Bonus view of the hens, cows, swans and hares. Thanks, we'll be back

Very beautiful home with everything you need. It is easy to park if you have a car. Its a nice and quiet area and it does not take much time to get to Amsterdam or Haarlem. Sofie and Roman are very kind and welcoming people.

Great place. Nice and cozy accommodation. Robert and Tom are warm and friendly - they were very hospitable to us

We spent a surprise weekend getaway (Friday to Sunday) with a group of six women and this Airbnb was truly a hidden gem! The space is absolutely beautiful and filled with so much love and attention to detail. We even cancelled our dinner reservation on Friday just to stay in and enjoy the atmosphere, that says it all! Everything ran smoothly, from check-in to check-out. The communication and instructions were excellent, making everything super easy and relaxed. The hot tub was a real highlight and worked perfectly! The cats on the property are incredibly calm and sweet! you barely notice them, except when they come by for a little cuddle. We had an absolutely wonderful time and would come back in a heartbeat. Highly recommended!

Boho, eclectic and full of personality . We really liked this house. Still a bit rough round the edges but the overall feel is great. Working fire, wood to burn, garden access, a well stocked kitchen with a few essentials like some spices and oil. Great cooker. A steep set of stairs to the bedrooms and apart from a lack of upstairs loo everything was fab. Beds comfy, clean bedlinen and spaces. Again full of character and sympathetic to the old building.

This apartment was amazing for our quick trip to Amsterdam. The location is perfect—right on one of the main canals and walkable to everything. Helena was such a gracious host and gave us some great recs for vintage shopping, drinks, and eats. The space was well appointed and she was so flexible with our arrival and departure times. I would 100% recommend this place and would stay here again on a future visit.

The Condominium is in a nice quiet part of Amsterdam, but still easy to get to city centre. Was very clean and comfortable.

We had a great stay! Hugo was easy to contact, gave us many local recommendations, and easy to follow directions. The place was clean, had a great view, and is on a quiet street. Location was great, very walkable to all of the main tourist attractions. We were worried about not having a tv but didn’t miss it. Just a heads up to people in the U.S.-bring wash cloths to Europe. All 3 of the Airbnb’s that we stayed at did not provide them. I read that they consider it a personal item, like a toothbrush, and expect you to bring your own. Thank you Hugo!

This place was wonderful! It was just as described. We enjoyed listening to the birds (wild parakeets and others) as we sat on the balcony in the mornings. The stairs are steep and narrow but that is just part of being in Amsterdam. One thing to note, there are 2 showers, 2 sinks, but only 1 toilet. It didn’t cause any problem for me, but those staying in the first floor bedroom will have to climb up stairs in the middle of the night. Overall, I highly recommend!

This apartment is absolutely amazing! My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Monique helped us to feel right at home and she really went above and beyond with the extra details for us. The location is in a chic neighborhood just moments away from the NDSM. Beautiful art and great restaurants in the area. Thank you for the wonderful stay!

We enjoyed staying at Fleur’s apartment. It is very close to a tram stop which made it easy to get around, and it was well situated between the main areas of the city, making it a good base to explore from. The apartment was nice - it had everything we needed for a couple days in the city. The only thing to note is that the stairs within the apartment (from living area to bedroom) are narrow and steep, but this seems quite typical of stairs in this area- the same was true of stairs in restaurants in the area. Overall we had a great stay and I would stay there again!

Our stay with MorningStar in Amsterdam was absolutely exceptional. The home was pristine, beautifully designed, and full of luxurious touches that made our three-night stay unforgettable. We arrived to find thoughtful treats like fresh fruit and chocolate waiting for us—such a warm welcome! The location was perfect: central, quiet, and incredibly walkable, which made it easy for our family of four to explore the city. Every detail exceeded our expectations. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again—highly recommend!

value for money was quite good. The living room was cozy, nice at temperature and equipped with every comfort. We also saw recent updates to the living room and the bathroom is probably the next space to be renewed. Then it's really a gem! Nice hot shower, but showering smoothly due to limited hot water in the water heater. Great to do. Kitchen fully equipped, not everything used but nice eating out. You can do that wonderfully on the beach or at "Little Switzerland". The beach is really super close, 5 minutes over the dune. Ideal location to relax and enjoy.
