Houseboat vacation rentals in Wadden Sea

The Black Swan houseboat is truly a special place to stay. Leonora and Erwin have thought of every detail, and the space makes you feel instantly at home. If you are looking for a special place to relax with friends or family, you need to consider a stay at the Black Swan. We would certainly return without hesitation.

We had a great time in Leeuwarden. The houseboat was ideal for us as we were there primarily for fishing. We were able to fish right outside the front door and there were some good spots in the immediate vicinity.

It was really a nice and quiet stay.

Lovely home Perfect neighborhood to stay if touring Amsterdam Host extremely responsive to any of our needs

The boat house was the idyllic haven to return to at the end of a busy day in the city. We had a fantastic family break and the added additions of the bikes and boat were a bonus. Also managed to try the local restaurants. Look forward to visiting again in the future.

We enjoyed the stay on the houseboat! A wonderful spot on the water with a Superhost! Nice rooms, fun games and plenty to do nearby. We have enjoyed the tranquility in the immediate surroundings of Amsterdam. It was wonderful "coming home" on the ark after a busy day in the city. Marie Louise is very cozy and helpful and always ready to help! Really fantastic!!!@

Fantastic experience. We loved it :)

Beautiful houseboat in a great location and easy access to all of Amsterdam. The houseboat was warm and cosy and perfect for our short stay. Hanco is a great host

Absolutely brilliant houseboat. Super nicely decorated - very modern - equipped with everything you need. It was sparkling clean and cozy. We felt completely comfortable and enjoyed the life on the houseboat very much (a great experience). The boat includes a sup, which we tried despite the season. In and around the boat is very quiet and yet you are almost in the middle of it - it is only a few meters to the actual place. Really great: the supermarket is right across the street. Anita and Diedert are great and very attentive hosts, whom we did not meet in person but the communication with them was excellent. We would love to come again.

A great, modern and high quality home. We felt very comfortable and will definitely come back again. Highly recommend!!

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.

Very nice location, clean, parking available, family 2 adults, 2 kids. Thank you!

Thank you so much to Fern. You were so helpful and accommodating from the initial booking to check out. Your houseboat is absolutely stunning and location was perfect. Stones throw from tramlines and quirky eateries. We will return.

We had a lovely extended weekend on the houseboat! The location was fantastic – quiet, right on the water, with beautiful views. The boat was very clean, well equipped and cozily furnished, with everything you need. We especially liked the small terrace, perfect for breakfast or the evening. An absolute recommendation for those who want to experience something different and relax! I'm sure we'll be back.

The stay with Frauke and Thomas was super nice and very special! The impeccable and unproblematic communication with Patrick was also great, we were even able to rent the boat spontaneously. An unforgettable weekend, highly recommended and happy to come back!

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!

We really enjoyed our one night stay. The place is charming, original and easy to get to. We easily found a good restaurant and Aalsmeer is a very nice place. We enjoyed the welcome booklet prepared by Anne who was very responsive and available. The accommodation was clean and functional. We were welcomed and had a very nice stay! It was a great experience sleeping on the water. To be done again!

we had a wonderful getaway on the houseboat as a small family. There was everything you needed. There were many possibilities for business and that we were already allowed to use the sloop was an absolute highlight. If we had a question, we always got a super quick answer. A very nice family, great boat. we would come back any time.

This boat was such a treat, beautifully presented, spacious, gorgeous views amongst other boats, easy walking around central Amsterdam. The facilities within the boat were top notch, stylish upstairs living space, extremely comfortable beds, lovely bathroom (with the bonus of an upstairs toilet too). If we were there in warmer weather we would have spent more time just hanging out on the deck. Heartily recommend.

We had a great stay, which made us feel extremely comfortable. The house is just beautiful and Arnold was always helpful and super friendly. We would come back anytime. Thank you for the wonderful time!

There were four of us and we had a wonderful time! Even the arrival was very straightforward, the communication in advance was simple and pleasant. The place was exactly as described – very clean, modern and lovingly furnished, so we felt comfortable from the first moment. Everything was really thought of: the kitchen was well equipped, the beds very comfortable and also small details such as towels, toiletries and a small selection of coffee and tea made our stay particularly pleasant. Also the location was perfect – quiet yet central so we could get to many getaways and restaurants quickly. We enjoyed the time very much and can absolutely recommend the place. Thank you for the great hospitality – we will be happy to come back!

We had a short but great and relaxing break here. The houseboat was something completely different. It has many nice outdoor spaces to relax, SUPs and boats for use. Downtown was within walking distance and yet it was quite quiet on the boat. We will be happy to come back.

it was everything we expected and more. the ducks came for tea 😁 we really enjoyed our stay.

We had fantastic days with our boys. Full days of boating, good food and in the evening on the houseboat. Highly recommended.
