Kid-friendly vacation rentals in North Sea Canal

Fantastic house in a perfect location between North Sea, Amsterdam and the small, super beautiful city of Haarlem. Cosy furnishings, plenty of space and good entertainment for children make the house perfect for holidays with children

Our first Airbnb experience and we have not been disappointed. Vik is super nice, his house was comfortable, we felt very comfortable (also our dog :)) Everything was within walking distance (playground, beach, restaurants, etc.) Check-in and check-out was easy, parking is always nearby.

We had the best time in this very beautiful house. Great central location, parking options, clean und very well equipped accommodation. Smooth and friendly communication with the host. Thank you!

We have just got back from a perfect family holiday at Marisca's house. The house is spacious and despite only being a couple of minutes walk/cycle ride to the town centre with shops, including supermarkets, delicious ice cream parlours and numerous restaraunts, the street is very peaceful with fr parking on the square or outside the house. The house is within easy reach of the big cities either by car, public transport or by bike. We used the park and ride to get into Ansterdam for the day. This only cost around €15 which included the return metro for 5 people. The highlight for us was the cycle ride to the wonderful beach at Wassenaareslag which took about 20 mins along safe cycle lanes (the UK needs these!) from Marisca's house. Communication with Marisca was fantastic the instructions were easy to follow and she reponds to any questions quickly via Wattsapp. Thankyou to Marisca and her family for letting us stay in your beautiful house to explore The Netherlands at our own pace.

We had a great stay at Elises place. 10 min walk to the beach was perfect for us. Would come again.

The house was super great and almost more beautiful than in the photos. The information folder about the house, the surrounding area etc. was very helpful. We were also very happy about the drinks provided and the Nespresso set up! Sander was very easy to reach and always responded very quickly, helpfully and sympathetically.

Natasha was a very responsive host and the directions were accurate and easy to follow. The house was as described and pictured and was clean and well maintained. The stairs are typical for the area, so be prepared. The neighborhood worked for us because it was close to my sister, but there aren't a lot of options for coffee or restaurants that are walkable so you either need a bike, or rely on transit which can be slow. My only complaints was that there was not a hair dryer anywhere in the house. Natasha pointed out that she had not listed it as an amenity, which was true, but coming from a different country over the holidays prohibited me from bringing or buying one (they were not sold anywhere nearby and then stores were closed for two days for Christmas). It was very inconvenient and given the quality of this rental, not what I would have expected. Despite that, it was a nice stay in an updated space and Natasha was a good host.

Jonas and Lea's house was very warm and cosy. The cat Wammes was very sweet and loved getting cuddles after warming up to us. Beds were very comfortable. Great to have a washer and dryer. It's good to know that the children's bedroom is off the master bedroom and isn't separated. The only toilet is on the first floor, not on the floor where the beds are. The location is excellent, a safe and friendly neighbourhood and close to public transport.

We really enjoyed our stay. The property was very cozy and comfortable, and was well equipped with all of the amenities we were looking for. Hosts were extremely friendly and helpful for anything that we needed. In particular, the black out shades in the bedroom helped us get a great night's sleep every night. The location was superb, great restaurants and grocery stores were right outside of our door. Would highly recommend to anyone!

We had a comfy stay at Jelle's! No complaints or displeasures, everything was quite clean and accurate to the description in the listing. Instructions for check-in was clear. Maybe would be good to provide 2 sets of keys instead of just 1. Location is 2min walk from a bus stop, easy to take a 10-15min bus ride to Centraal. Living room area in particular was very pleasant! we were worried that privacy was going to be an issue, but Jelle had blinds and privacy filters on the windows, so we felt at ease. Washing machine and dryer are easy to use too. Thank you for the pleasant stay!

This is a terrific location in a nice area of the city center, right along a pretty canal. We were able to walk everywhere we wanted to go. The central train station is a 10 minute walk. The apartment has a relatively large living space with a bedroom area and convertible sofa. There was plenty of dishware and utensils for dining at “home”. There was also a washing machine but no dryer, so we did not use the washer but it was available with clothes pins etc. for hang drying. The bathroom had a clean shower with nice hot water and plenty of supplies like soap, shampoo and conditioner. Douwe was extremely responsive to our needs. We arrived early but he generously allowed us to check in while he finished cleaning the bathroom. He made us feel that he’d be available if we needed anything. I would definitely stay here again on a return trip to Amsterdam.

We expected we'd lucked out when we found an open window for an Airbnb with a 4.99 rating; we were right. Arjen was kind and responsive, attentive and helpful. He was there when we arrived at 8pm and gave us a tour of the local area for over an hour (!) that helped us find a great bakery (Bbrood on Zeedijk) and even get groceries for our hungry, tired kids. He clued us in to the IAMS car show that was in town just that weekend and had great advice about boat tours and more. I'd say he was as good as any concierge if I could think of any concierges who also double as free tour guides. On top of that his apartment is in a spectacular location, quiet, well appointed, and pleasant. The only challenge is the one for all great apartments in old-town Netherlands: very steep stairs that would pose a challenge for people with mobility issues. No help for that: if you have mobility issues you'll need someone not in the old town anyway. This was the best Airbnb experience my family has ever had.

Perfect location, 5 minutes walk to the beach. Top service with everything you need! Very nice welcome from Auke. The room is described in detail. Very clean and convenient. I am very satisfied, for that I like to give 5 stars!

A wonderful appartment, well equipped and in ideal position. Hosts are very nice and flexible.

A fantastic stay at Annette' s place that is spacious and peaceful. Annette is very responsible, easily available for any enquiries and accommodated us very well. Despite the 12 minutes walk from the train station, the place is well located close to the beach and centrum. Definitely recommended.

I absolutely loved my 3 week stay here, it has everything you could need. It instantly felt like home and includes many small details that makes your stay easy and pleasant. You can really tell that Han's has given good thought and care into the space. He is an absolutely wonderful host that I hope to stay with again in the future. The location is amazing, as other reviews has said, it's the perfect distance from the city center/centraal station(10-20min). Even if you don't feel like going that far, there are many delicious restaurants within 1 block. Grocery stores, museums, the zoo and plenty else to do within 3 blocks! During the day the neighborhood is lively and active, but it never feels overcrowded. There's a constant stream of pedestrians, bicyclist, bridge raises, and boats passing in the canal to watch. During the night it a very peaceful and quiet neighborhood. Bonus points for stable and fast wifi and an awesome hot shower. You won't be disappointed staying at Han's😁👍

Nice place to stay. We will reserve it again off course for our comeback Tripp.

This was a perfect stay for my first trip to Amsterdam. The cleanliness, location, and convenience of this unit were absolutely amazing. The hosts were very responsive and extremely helpful by also providing an itinerary of activities, surrounding neighborhoods, and restaurants. Not to mention we were practically right around the corner to one of the best parks in the city that we walked through every single day. Hopefully I can stay here again on my next visit!

This lovely place is right off the park, walkable to restaurants, shops and even to the museums (through the park), and just a 20 min ride to the city center. It's in a VERY family friendly area!! The host is excellent -- very friendly and helpful and quick with responses. The flat is fully appointed and even has a little back patio, but 2 of the bedrooms are quite small, and the stairs between floors are steep!

The apartment is very bright, clean, and close to the beach. It has all the necessary amenities for a family. For kids, many games and toys are available. Henk is a very responsive and helpful host. We recommend this apartment.

Perfectly located apartment to explore Zandvoort. The apartment is located on the main strand, right in front of the beach and all the beach clubs. The fact that it comes with parking makes it super convenient. The apartment itself is perfect for a couple. We stayed for 4 days and it was a perfect base to enjoy the area. Highly recommended!

Mia was extremely friendly and helpful. The place was cosy and comfortable and In a calm and beautiful area of town. Would definitely go back!

From check-in to check-out, everything was great. Katy was a great host. The apartment was as shown in the pictures. And is not far from the sea. We can recommend the apartment!!

Hey, so there were three of us in the accommodation and there was enough space. The host was very friendly and responded quickly to questions and helped. The place itself has a great location, right by the sea. In addition, it was very nice and above all clean and well maintained. There was also no lack of privacy and the balcony also has a very good location, from where you can also look at the sea. For sunsets, the property is also more than perfect. All in all, we are more than satisfied with our stay and would book the place again at any time☀️
