Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Zaanstad

Great spot to stay in for what we needed! Staying for a couple of nights before heading off fishing about 90 mins away. Easy to access Amsterdam, 3 stops on the train and 5 min walk to station. Chi’s place was great. Boss games room and loads of space to chill and relax. Will definitely be back 👍🏻

My friend and I choose to stay here, since it was close to Zaanse-Schaans and Amsterdam Noord. And I must say: It’s the nicest Airbnb I’ve ever been to so far. I’d definitely recommend it to others, who’d like to wind out and relax after a very long day in the city and just wanna feel like home: this is the place. Marjolein has put so much love and detail to make this place super cozy. I really loved it. And the neighborhood feels super safe and there are some cafes close by with a nice view of the harbor. Definitely a must stay place, if you’re looking for a relaxing place. Thanks a lot Marjolein for letting us stay here.

We had a wonderful stay at Thi’s charming, old Dutch-style house. She was very kind and helpful throughout our visit, making sure everything went smoothly for us. The house is even better in person than in the photos, and there was plenty of space for everyone. Communication was easy, and Zaandam is a great alternative to staying right in the center of Amsterdam—away from the crowds and hustle, but still just a short train ride to Amsterdam Central. There are also supermarkets, bars, and restaurants nearby. Highly recommended, and we hope to return the next time we visit Amsterdam!

We had a nice stay at Aarts house and enjoyed the cozy and rural landscape. The apartment offered enough room for a group of 13. A special thing were the animals that we were allowed to pet. Very cute. We highly recommend to visit this house.

Ana Mer's home was absolutely wonderful! From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by how clean, cozy, and well-maintained the house was. Every detail matched the description perfectly, and it even exceeded our expectations. The thoughtful touches throughout the home made it feel like we were staying in our own home away from home. The space was not only comfortable but also beautifully decorated, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Ana was an excellent host—clear with communication, helpful, and kind, ensuring our stay was seamless. The location was perfect, making it easy to explore the surrounding area while still offering a peaceful retreat to return to at the end of the day. We truly loved our time here and can't wait to stay again the next time we visit. Thank you, Ana, for sharing your lovely home with us!

The owner personally entertained, was friendly and introduced the home facilities, responded quickly, there were horses, chickens, cats outside the house, but the home was not different and clean, the location was close to the windmill village

Cute town, not far from sightseeing locations such as Amsterdam, Alkmaar and Edam. Lovely garden with a beautiful view and comfortable home. Good kitchen and dining table for our family of four! Nice, easy parking, and responsive host.

this place is wonderful, outside the city and a nice little oasis! prepare for the wind, but no complaints!

Amazing place! Suited my friends and I perfectly. Walking distance to trains, buses and food!

I had a wonderful stay! Elton was very friendly and welcoming, making the experience smooth from start to finish. The place itself was lovely—clean, cozy, and well-kept. It was also very quiet, which made for a relaxing atmosphere. The view was absolutely stunning and definitely a highlight. Highly recommend!

Fantastic apartment in a lovely town. Can not say enough good things about this stay

All the praise for the hostess and the apartment. Sandra is wonderful, correct and always available to guests. The apartment is excellent, exactly as described and pictured. It was like home, even some things were better and we were there for 40 days. Recommendations for accommodation and a quiet location near the railway station, free parking and pleasant neighbors

We had a wonderful 3-night stay at Vincent’s place in Wormerveer! The apartment was spotless, cozy, and had everything we needed for a comfortable visit. Vincent was a fantastic host—friendly, responsive, and always ready with helpful local tips. We especially enjoyed meeting Giulia the cat The location was perfect for exploring the Netherlands, with easy access to public transport and beautiful surroundings. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a welcoming and relaxing stay. thank you, Vincent.

Margor and Steven are nice and attentive, they give us a lot of helpful information about the area. The location is near the Zaandam train station and convenient when travelling to Amsterdam city centre. A very nice and cosy place to stay in NL.

As described in the pictures👍

One of the best Airbnbs I’ve stayed at in Europe!!! Am’s place is super private and in such a great neighborhood where it’s peaceful and super easy to get to the train station or grocery store. The city also has lots to do besides just staying there just to go to Amsterdam. The place is super nice with such a cute patio. We loved our time at Sam’s place!!! 1000% would book again!

This apartment was amazing for our quick trip to Amsterdam. The location is perfect—right on one of the main canals and walkable to everything. Helena was such a gracious host and gave us some great recs for vintage shopping, drinks, and eats. The space was well appointed and she was so flexible with our arrival and departure times. I would 100% recommend this place and would stay here again on a future visit.

My first visit with my daughter to Amsterdam. We had several activities planned and our location was perfect: Access to tram. Very walkable area. Restaurants, coffee shops, grocery markets. The suite was comfortable and large enough for two people. We enjoyed ourselves and no worries regarding the accommodations.

The Condominium is in a nice quiet part of Amsterdam, but still easy to get to city centre. Was very clean and comfortable.

We had a great time in this sweet apartment. We loved sitting in the living room overlooking the canal and appreciated the great shower and overall layout of the apartment. The location is fantastic. Very residential and more peaceful than other parts of the city we have been to. We highly recommend it!

This place was wonderful! It was just as described. We enjoyed listening to the birds (wild parakeets and others) as we sat on the balcony in the mornings. The stairs are steep and narrow but that is just part of being in Amsterdam. One thing to note, there are 2 showers, 2 sinks, but only 1 toilet. It didn’t cause any problem for me, but those staying in the first floor bedroom will have to climb up stairs in the middle of the night. Overall, I highly recommend!

We had an absolutely amazing stay at Mel & Henri’s place! From the moment we arrived, they were so warm and welcoming, making sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The space was spotless, beautifully decorated, and full of charm—it truly felt like a home away from home. Every little detail was thoughtfully arranged, and their hospitality made all the difference. We would 100% stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

Morningstar is a beautiful place to stay. The apartment is beautifully decorated and very comfortable. The location could not be better. It is right across the canal from The Ann Frank house. There are many wonderful cafes and restaurants nearby. The hosts have thought of everything. I would highly recommend to anyone!

A pleasure to stay here. Much better than a hotel. Felt like home from home. As a result of a great stay, will come back again with my wife. So close to the centre but also perfectly set a little away. Great restaurants, bakery and bars nearby. A great place for taking a run each day and of course, pick up a bike and take a ride.
