Vacation rentals with a fireplace in Waterland

We felt very comfortable in the pretty house. It was quite easily accessible and we were happy to get some peace and quiet from the Amsterdam city hustle and bustle in the morning and night. For this, we were happy to take the slightly longer journey. Nice neighborhood atmosphere, stylish decor, not too perfect - pretty much our taste. We were also happy to take care of the two kittens.

Jasper is wery friendly.

The house itself is very well maintained, lovingly furnished and offers everything you need for a relaxing holiday. The kitchen is well equipped so we could easily cook ourselves, and also the beds were very comfortable. The surroundings are idyllic and quiet, perfect for walks and cycling. The host was very friendly and helpful and gave us valuable tips for excursions in the area. We felt very comfortable.

What a beautiful escape in the countryside. It’s so peaceful and calming. The canals are beautiful, and the house gives you a sense of peace. The kids absolutely loved the bed downstairs - their own little room and hiding place. The space in the main room was perfect for eating and lounging and talking. Please note that the stairs are steep, as is normal in this part of the world, but my parents who have some knee trouble managed them. Practically the location really worked for us. If coming by car be prepared for a well maintained single lane road with room to pass at regular intervals. Amsterdam is only 30 minutes away and about 40 minutes by bus (we stuck to the car but that is an option) and Monnickendam, the nearby town is 5 minutes away. Greet grocery store and businesses. We absolutely loved this place and Mareike was such a responsive and kind host. Thank you for an unforgettable stay. We would recommend without caveats, and would love to return!

The first thing I have to say is Sophie and Pieter are clearly lovely people. We were late because of traffic but Sophie waited for us and gave a warm and very helpful welcome. Secondly, the apartment is a real home from home. The kitchen has all the equipment you need if you want to dine at home. Throughout the apartment everything was clean and functional as well as being well designed and attractive. Thirdly, the location is excellent. The tram runs regularly on the Overtoom and gets you right into the centre in 20 easy minutes. On the other side is the Vondelpark, which is a slice of real Amsterdam that many people would miss, which is a shame as it’s fantastic. The bar run by the brewery was a real find for us. Around you are a number of excellent places to eat and drink on both sides of the park and into the centre. Finally I am going to return to Sophie and Pieter - honestly you could not get better hosts. Thank you very much - we intend to return.

The location was great, walking distance to trains and trams to get to the heart of Amsterdam. Far enough away to be quiet for nights in. Nancy was very communicative even though she was on holiday. Easy parking if you drive in and plenty of space for 5, especially if someone doesn’t mind the couch. Would be great for 3 couples. Amazing showers 😁

The De Pjip neighborhood is so cool and this rental is near many of the best spots: the Albert Cuyp market, Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh museum, so many restaurants and bars. The apartment itself is modern and comfortable. Having a washer AND A DRYER! was fantastic! We loved having Alexa play whatever we requested while we relaxed after busy days of being a tourist. We would love to come back to this rental!

A 10-star accommodation, quite an experience

Awesome location, comfortable bed. Hosts enjoy taking care of their place and guests. The check-in was in person and no self check-in option available but hosts were very accommodating and easy to get in touch with.

Alexander was very responsive before and throughout our stay in the studio apartment. Great location. He was very accommodating with his check-in and check-out. He and his wife gave a special little gift of cookies for my daughter who was celebrating a birthday trip. I highly recommend this place and Alexander as a host.

What a wonderful stay! The Slow was spotless, cozy, and exactly as described with great location. We loved seeing the neighbor sheep roam around! Marit was friendly, responsive, and made everything easy. Would love to stay again and highly recommend!

We spent 10 long days in Zaandam while preparing and working in a fair. Margot has been absolutely great in taking care of us, and it's the space was good although smaller than expected (and quite cold even with heating..). Note: you are in Zaandam, not Amsterdam.. but it's a lovely area and very well connected with trains which gets you everywhere but will take around half an hour to get to Amsterdam Central. Quite honestly Zaandam was such a cute town! very pleasant and with everything you need. In case you don't have to go to Amsterdam, you got everything there.. If I'd have to give a feedback, I would personally need a stove in an apartment, even if small (2 stoves are enough) people have to be able to cook for themselves if needed. I missed an home cooked meal! All considered, good stay and great hosts you will be in good hands.

We had a wonderful time at Dirks farmhouse. It was a beautiful setting with sheep surrounding us. Very close to the airport and to the family we came to visit. Dirk was very helpful with any questions we had. We will definitely stay here again next time visiting Purmerend.

Jeannot was the best host from start to finish! He provided an amazing advance PDF of Amsterdam information and communicated via Whats App throughout. He even paid my tab at the local ice cream parlour after I discovered they did not take credit cards and the closest ATM was broken. The location is perfect for a stay with a large family. It was a great place to start and end the day and so easy to get to the city center from.

We loved the fisherman’s cottage in Edam. The space was comfortable and clean. Ingrid was so helpful and friendly. We loved Edam so much. It was the perfect retreat from the big city. Taking the bus into Amsterdam couldn’t have been easier. We truly felt like we got the best of both worlds. If stairs aren’t your thing, this might not be the place for you. The staircase to the second floor is a bit of a challenge.

Frank is an outstanding host. He provided fantastic and detailed information upfront. The check-in was smooth, and we were provided with local snacks, and Frank set us up with breakfast for our first morning in Amsterdam. This made it very comfortable after a long trip. Whenever we had a question, Frank replied within minutes. We all had a great and relaxing stay. Our kids often asked us if we could stay inside the house rather than going on day trips. That's how much they enjoyed the place and the cute little garden where they could play with water (you have to watch out for tiny kids that can't swim though). In short, it was fun, and we had a good time.

Beautiful living room facing the water front. It definitely gives the dream house feeling 💕

We had an amazing stay at Sonja’s place. Everything was just perfect. The location was excellent. The neighbourhood is beautiful. A row of houses with the canal as the backyard. Absolute peace and quiet and extremely secure. It’s a 4 minute walk to the tram station where there’s a tram every 10 min to the Central Station. It just takes 10 minutes to reach Central Station. The living area and kitchen are brilliant with all necessary equipments. The backyard is brilliant with an easy access to the canal. We didn’t use the pizza oven and the barbecue but I reckon they would be great when used. There are three bedrooms on the first floor and the view from the open space from there is lovely. The bathroom is huge and has a sun roof. Overall a brilliant experience. Sonja was very responsive and left a detailed note on how things work. We (2 adults and 2 kids) loved the stay and will again stay there in a heartbeat.
