Houseboat vacation rentals in Leidsegracht

We thoroughly enjoyed a long weekend aboard Johan's houseboat, in a great location in the Jordaan! It was an experience simply not available in a hotel or B&B. We drank morning coffee and late afternoon cocktails on the deck whle soaking up the few remaining days of late summer sun. It was ideally located close to neighborhood restaurants, shops, and even weekend organic food and flea market, and a short walk to tourist attractions in the old city center. If not up for a longer walk along the canal to the museum quarter and beyond, a public transportation options were always available nearby. Communication prior to arrival and during our stay was proactive and prompt. The inside of the houseboat was even more spacious than we anticipated, and the beds were comfortable. We'll definitely opt for a stay here during our next visit to Amsterdam!

Realmente maravilloso, más que 5 estrellas. Eramos 4 (2 adultos y 2 niñas de 7 y 11 años) y la experiencia de dormir en el barco, en un lugar como Ámsterdam, es algo que todos deberían de hacer. Todo estuvo perfecto, el barco es super cómodo, las camas impecables, el baño de primera, la cocina muy bien equipada. Desayunar y cenar mirando el canal fue algo que recordaremos siempre. Sin dudas lo recomiendo y volvería! Muchas gracias por recibirnos!!

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 absolutely loved our stay at Anouk’s place. It was extremely comfortable for 4 people and had a wonderful living space that felt comfortable and homely. We loved having access to the bikes and despite having inclement weather it was an easy ride to the wonderful Zaanse Schans and the old windmills. Quintessential Amsterdam! The jewel on the crown was when the rain finally stopped, we were able to experience the stunning canal view from the moored boat at the back. Unfortunately the weather hadn’t permitted us to use the boat to explore the other canals but it is definitely something we would love to do on a future visit. Anouk was fabulous at communicating and left comprehensive information for us to make the most of the area. We loved dining at her favourite restaurant and probably made our mark as we were leaving! (Another story!) Ha! We definitely caught the spirit of the place! Could not recommend this highly enough. Thanks for a fabulous stay 🙏🏽❤️

Wir haben uns mit der ganzen Familie sehr wohl gefühlt auf diesem wunderschönen Hausboot! Marie Louise war sehr hilfsbereit und eine tolle Gastgeberin. Wir kommen gerne wieder. 🥰

Henk’s place was perfect for the type of travel we enjoy. It was easily accessible to the bus that quickly brought you to the train station, would have been even easier on bikes. Mornings would double peaceful on the water, watching the bonded Geese and people taking a morning swim, sail and the occasional rowing team. We enjoyed a storm that moved through one evening. The space is precisely as described. Henk gave perfect directions of how to find it from the airport. Even when I was a complete clutz and dropped the house key in the water, he did not panic or give me grief but immediately hired a locksmith to fix the problem before we returned in the afternoon. Very responsive. The overall Noord neighborhood is perfect to escape to from the city but still be plenty close to enjoy anything wanted.

What a fun experience! And what a terrific host! In a beautiful, quiet neighborhood. Lots of restaurants within walking distance. To say we got to stay on a houseboat in Amsterdam is always going to be a fun memory! But note, it is definitely a boat. You must be fully able bodied to access the boat and get around comfortably inside. The kitchen is suitable for snacks. And as with most European AirBnBs, bring your own bath products.

We had a great stay at Michael’s place, it was a beautiful house boat in a very peaceful quiet location. It was a good distance to walk to the free boat that runs to Amsterdam central. There was a free bottle of Prosecco in the apartment and Michael even bought us a second and some chocolate for a miscommunication on the first night. The bed was comfy and everything was spotlessly clean. We would definitely stay here again.

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.

Wir, drei Freundinnen, haben drei schöne Tage im schwimmenden Haus verbracht. Die Einrichtung ist modern und das Haus bestens ausgestattet. Auch die Terrasse ist toll, allerdings nichts für Menschen mit Spinnenphobie. Beim Thema Sauberkeit wäre noch etwas Luft nach oben, wir haben uns aber dennoch sehr wohl gefühlt.

Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Tolle Natur überall, sehr ruhig, Bademöglichkeit und insbesondere für Fahrradtouren ein idealer Ausgangspunkt. Restaurants und Supermarkt in der Nähe. Wir kommen bestimmt nochmal wieder.

Fern’s houseboat was AMAZING! Hands down my favorite Airbnb ever. Interior was beautiful and well kept. Location was close to so many shops, restaurants and the tram. Fern was very helpful and always responsive. Pepper was easily my favorite part of the stay though 😊 🐈‍⬛ ❤️

Great place with a beautiful view . The host was super helpful and always available when I called. Would definitely recommend

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!

Mandy’s place was exactly as described and was really well equipped - the sauna was a great bonus. It was really clean and the surrounding lake was a great place to take a break from the bustle of central Amsterdam, as well as the town of Aalsmeer having everything you need for a relaxing break. 10/10 wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.

Franky ist für die Boote in Monickendamm verantwortlich und war absolut super! Er war immer in der Nähe oder schnell erreichbar, hat super Tipps gegeben und hat uns alles gezeigt und mit allem geholfen! Das Boot steht wohl leider immer im Hafen war aber trotzdem absolut super und auch der Platz im Hafen war toll, da die Aussicht super war und man direkt vom Boot schwimmen gehen kann! Super war außerdem das Tender Boot mit dem wir eine tolle Tour durch die Kanäle und in die nächste Stadt gemacht haben! Die Anbindung ist super, man ist in 20-25 Minuten mit dem Bus in Amsterdam, welcher auch noch bis spät abends fährt wodurch man sich das parken in Amsterdam sparen kann. Einfach toll!

What a great place! It is such an honor to be able to stay in a classical Amsterdam canal boat. You become part of the scene while you are enjoying the scene. The neighborhood is quiet and within walking distance of everything. There are great restaurants nearby and not far to the main museums. Patricia is a great host, and this place is a ‘traditional’ AirBnB in that this is her home that she moves out of to allow others to enjoy. In the heat we had during our stay she came and watered her outdoor plants, which we loved but did not pamper. She also shared some hidden gems of museums and restaurants that we would have missed. We would definitely stay here again.

O espaço de Nova Team é um espaço ótimo e confortável, com todos os utensílio necessários para uma boa estadia. Tivemos um imprevisto com as chaves e fomos prontamente ajudados. O anfitrião estava sempre disponível.

I would highly recommend this airbnb. It was absolutely incredible. I was instantly transported into the Dutch fantasy staying on this gorgeous house boat. The bed was really comfy which is a big deal. The boat had the most insane views from every window. I feel like photos don’t do this place justice. It was quiet, peaceful, walking distance to everything. It felt very safe. The hosts were responsive. I would likely stay here again if I ever come back.

very helpful, very friendly, worth a stay. It takes a while to get to the center by public transport but I appreciated the calm surroundings which also shows a completely different side of Amsterdam one would usually not get to see

Das fest angelegte Hausboot bietet einen tollen, entspannenden Blick auf das Wasser, den Himmel und den gegenüberliegenden Yachthafen - durch die großen Fenster und die gute Einrichtung auch direkt aus dem Bett. Alles ist komfortabel eingerichtet und ausgestattet und sehr sauber, der Check-in und die hinterlegten Informationen sind gut durchdacht und organisiert. Wir hatten eine entspannte Zeit zu zweit! (Man sollte sich nur im Klaren sein, dass das Boot bei Wind durchaus ein wenig "Seegang" hat, also mit den Wellen etwas im Wasser rollt.)

I reunited with my girlfriend and her son at Monique & Erwin’s sensational houseboat. The space was even more beautiful as described, impeccably clean, super cozy and had everything we needed. We all wanted to live there :-) The only thing I would have liked were cooling fans, as we just happened to be there on the first tropical day in 2025 and it was extremely hot in the two upstairs bedrooms for the one night , (warm nights don’t last long in the Netherlands) . Monique was a great communicator and provided helpful recommendations for local attractions , which were all made available in a booklet . Our favorite was the STRAAT museum near by, don’t miss it! We highly recommend this Airbnb in Amsterdam for an amazing family vacation or weekend getaway. Staying at the houseboat was a wonderful experience & we can’t wait to come back! The garden was also gorgeous and had beautiful lights at night .The location was quiet , and we loved relaxing by the canal . We are truly grateful.

Ein tolles Hausboot in prima Lage, ideal für einen Kurzurlaub mit Stadtbesuch in Amsterdam. Wir waren zu viert und hatten ausreichend Platz und fanden es sehr gemütlich. Das Hausboot hat eine schöne Dachterrasse, auf der man über den Hafen und auf die See schauen kann.
