Houseboat vacation rentals in Stichtse Vecht

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.

This houseboat is wonderful and the perfect chilled get away just outside the city centre. Hosts were great with communication and the houseboat was better than we could’ve imagined. Great location with every type of public transport right on your doorstep or if the weather permits a nice walk back into town. 100% would recommend!

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

We hebben genoten van het verblijf op de woonark! Een heerlijk plekje aan het water bij een superhost! Fijne kamers, leuke spelletjes en veel te doen in de buurt. We hebben genoten van de rust in de directe omgeving van Amsterdam. Het was heerlijk 'thuiskomen' op de ark na een drukke dag in de stad. Marie Louise is erg gezellig en behulpzaam en staat altijd voor je klaar! Echt fantastisch!!!@

The accommodation lived up to its promises. The location was beautiful, situated right by the canal. While it’s slightly outside the center of Amsterdam, it remains easily accessible. Karina was a perfect host—always responsive and helpful, providing great recommendations and a booklet with clear instructions. She even allowed us to leave our luggage there before check-in. We would definitely book again.

evdeki herkes huzur, keyif, mutluluk ve sohbet dolu bir tatil geçirdiler. Çok param olsa o evi isterdim Amsterdam'da. Bir daha umarım geldiğimizde yine Hanco'nun evinde kalabiliriz. Sevgiler.

If you are tired of the usual hotels or vacation rental apartments, I can't imagine a better place to stay. I've been fortunate to travel many places and I almost always book a private VRBO or Air BnB and this houseboat probably ranks as one of my favorites. If you really want to experience Amsterdam first hand and feel like a local celebrity, stay here, you will know what I mean... When we come back to Amsterdam, and I'm sure we will, we will definitely find a date to travel when this super cool place is available to stay.

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 the opportunity to stay on a houseboat while in Amsterdam and Fern's home was comfortable and relaxing. It was also nice to see a less touristy side of the city - it's an easy tram ride from the city center. Pepper was quite charming and we were delighted with her presence and the patio was a little oasis. Would definitely recommend if you're looking for a more authentic stay.

If you are looking to stay on the river in a quiet neighbourhood - on a house boat - it doesn't get better than this. I loved waking up, peering out onto the water. Each morning the rowers are out, people running along the riverbank - it's incredibly peaceful yet full of life. This is a real boat, not a floating house so you have to navigate different levels inside, getting on and off the boat etc. All part of the charm. Martin is a fabulous host. Note: this is the old school airbnb of old - its Martin's home, beautifully appointed, spacious and generously kitted out - with the comfort of a 'lived in' feel. The upper deck is just delightful, full of light and windows and you can sit with your coffee and watch the river-world go by. The area is surrounded by park, but just nearby is a lovely high-street with shops, supermarkets, bars, restaurants and deli's. Trams will take directly into the centre of Amsterdam - everything you need - highly recommended!

wir (4 Personen) haben uns im Hausboot von Jules sehr wohl gefühlt. Das Hausboot ist ausreichend groß und gut ausgestattet. Es ist alles genau wie beschrieben mit sehr gutem Parkplatz direkt am Boot. Das Hausboot ist sehr zu empfehlen. Es ist ein etwas anderer Urlaub. wir kommen bestimmt wieder.

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!

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.

Es war sehr schön, ein tolles Hausboot, und lauter freundliche Leute in der Umgebung. Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt, und hoffen wiederzukommen. Thijs ist sehr freundlich gewesen und hat uns immer gleich zurückgeschrieben wenn wir eine Frage hatten. Tolle Unterkunft!

Unkomplizierter Gesamteindruck Fenster waren leider schon etwas in die Jahre gekommen und die Betten im Wohnzimmer sind eher für Leichtgewichte . Parken war mit einem Bulli eher grenzwertig an der Straße , wäre schöner wenn man auf den gesperrten Platz kommt . Sicher hätte man dafür nur nachfragen müssen . Um den Schimmel in der Dusche an den Fugen sowie das aufgequollene Fensterbrett sollte sich zeitnah jem kümmern , tat dem ganzen aber kein Abbruch . Bettwäsche war leider muffig … sollte man aber auch nicht überbewerten .

logement original conforme à la description, très bien situé pour visiter Amsterdam et ses environs. Rienk est très réactif. nous sommes très satisfaits de notre séjour

We enjoyed our stay at Weltevreden Experience. The houseboat was clean, we were welcomed by Farian and all communications went without hustels. The people we met were very friendly and helpful when asked about the area and restaurants. The houseboat is ideal to relax and get away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Although the main road is only a few 100 meters away from the location, you do not realize it until you pay attention to it. My wife and I ( and of course our dog Fenri) can definitely recommend the houseboat and area. Great initiative and worth 5 stars ⭐

Super ruhiges Chalet direkt am Wasser. Richtig toll zum Entspannen. War eine tolle Woche zum Runterkommen :)

Enjoyed our time in the little houseboat, it’s small… but perfectly adequate for our family. Lovely surroundings and the most spectacular sunrises every morning! Would recommend

Esli is incredibly welcoming and always quick to respond to any questions. He was extremely helpful throughout the experience. I would absolutely love to visit his boat again!
