About this docked boat rental
Our unique houseboat with 3 bedrooms and a large garden is located at a lovely island close to the centre of Amsterdam (12 min by train) and the famous Zaanse Schans! Ideal to enjoy a relaxed holiday and be so close to all the famous attractions!
The space
This unique houseboat is located at a small island near all the famous tourist attractions (such as the Zaanse Schans and Amsterdam city centre). Due to the central location and nearness of a train station, the houseboat is an excellent start to explore the area.
The houseboat is very spacious and bright (6 people can stay here very comfortably), has a very large and sunny garden and a sunny floating terrace (both private).
There is a beautiful nature conservation area close by (at only 2 minutes walking distance, which is also accessible by boat or canoe).
Enjoying your holiday at this houseboat will be a truly unique experience! We are sure that you will be very comfortable and will feel at home when you stay here!
Guest access
The houseboat has a large and sunny living room. It has large windows on either side, which provide a view to the private garden on one side, and the canal on the other.
The spacious and fully equipped kitchen (including a dish washer) adjoins the living room. There are three bedrooms. The master bedroom is located downstairs (which is below the water level, a unique experience in itself). The second bedroom is located upstairs, and is a bright and comfortable room with a view on the canal. The third bedroom has a lovely view at the garden, and a door which leads to the floating terrace. There are 2 double beds and 2 single beds present. If needed, a third single bed can be arranged for (if so, please contact me before you make your reservation).
You can enjoy a private bathroom with a luxurious shower (steam bath, water jets, etc.). There is also a separate toilet.
There are a washing and drying machine available.
A large TV (42 inch) and free WIFI are available.

10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Sep 2025
We had a wonderful stay at this property and the host was very good communicating before and during our stay.
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·May 2025
The house boat is quirky and located in a quiet neighbourhood. We were surprised how far from central Amsterdam we found ourselves to be. We had to spend a lot of time travelling back and forth into Amsterdam. We could not find a microwave, which was a surprising omission. Some of the information in the welcome pack in the houseboat needs updating. The recommendation for the de Toog restaurant was fantastic and we ate there twice - enjoying excellent and reasonably priced meals.

Our family stayed at Anouk's lovely houseboat during a recent trip to the Netherlands to visit family. The boat is well maintained, comfortable and clean. The location is very accessible to the train and to amenities in Zaandam. No matter how busy the day, the beauty and comfort of the houseboat always made for a relaxing return. Highly recommend!
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Jul 2023
We enjoyed our stay in this cosy houseboat with its nice garden, boat and bicycles. There is a very helpful folder with recommendations for cafés/restaurants as well as suggestions for sightseeing tours close-by etc. Communication with Anouk was very easy. I can highly recommend this little juwel of a houseboat.
