About the area

Historical Treasures Await in Amsterdam

Amsterdam, the capital city of the Netherlands, is a haven for history lovers. The architectural heritage of the city is breathtaking, with the iconic canals that have earned a UNESCO World Heritage designation. Don’t miss the opportunity to visit the Anne Frank House, where the young diarist penned her thoughts during World War II, or the Rijksmuseum, showcasing masterpieces from Dutch painters like Rembrandt and Vermeer. The stunning Royal Palace, located on Dam Square, adds a regal touch to your historical explorations, reflecting the city’s rich past.

Indoors: Culture and History Galore

For a cozy indoor experience, head to the many museums that call Amsterdam home. The Van Gogh Museum is a must-see, featuring the world’s largest collection of Van Gogh’s works. For a more alternative vibe, the Foam Museum of Photography offers a contemporary take on art. The city's vibrant theater scene is also worth exploring, with numerous venues showcasing everything from classical performances to modern plays.

Outdoor Escapades and Scenic Canals

Nature enthusiasts will find plenty to enjoy in Amsterdam’s well-maintained parks and gardens. Vondelpark is the perfect spot for a leisurely stroll, a picnic, or even an open-air a bike and cycle along the city's scenic canals, immersing yourself in the beautiful surroundings. The nearby Amsterdamse Bos, a large park on the city’s outskirts, offers opportunities for hiking, biking, and even boating, providing a refreshing escape from urban life.

Wildlife Encounters in an Urban Paradise

Despite being a bustling metropolis, Amsterdam is close to several nature reserves that are home to diverse wildlife. The Zwanenmeer reserves are perfect for birdwatchers, with a variety of species of waterfowl roaming the waters. The Amstel River, winding through the city, is also great for spotting local fauna, including ducks and swans, making it a delightful experience as you explore the natural beauty of the region.

    Lovely place

    Joep is very helpful, friendly, and goes out of his way for his guests. It’s a lovely place to sit on the floating porch and watch the world go by.

    The location was wonderful, the houseboat wasn’t to our expectations

    We recently stayed at the houseboat we booked for three nights, however we only stayed one night. We felt a little uncomfortable with the amount of personal items all over the house. We knew we were renting a houseboat, but we were not expecting items throughout the entire home, including bathroom items left on the sink and food in the refrigerator. This houseboat is lived in every day when it is not rented out, therefore it just made us a little uncomfortable. I would recommend, for the price, going somewhere else if possible. We will most definitely be staying somewhere else for our next trip.

    Your official reason to my on why you were leaving was being light sleepers and being bothered by the singing birds outside, even proving the quiet nature of the great location in the center of a busy city. As you can see, my reviews are always 4-5 stars.

    Shampoo, body wash, soap, and hand creme in the bathroom are always provided as a courtesy, as you would expect. As far as the refrigerator is concerned, it has a courtesy bottle of wine, beers, and two types of water, and condiments like ketchup, mayonnaise, and butter to be used. The condition of the houseboat is always exactly as shown in the photos.

    And yes, it is my home and one that I’m very proud of and proud to share with people who want a unique Amsterdam experience. This whole situation left me very emotional, and I’m sorry I have to share this with you in this way. I hope you will read my other reviews when considering renting my houseboat. You can always message me with any questions and wishes, and I will make sure you have a wonderful stay.

    Good location, well worth the money

    What a cool experience to stay on a houseboat in Amsterdam. Good location, well worth the money to be right in the city. Even stayed in one night just to enjoy the place - charcuterie, wine, and hanging out on the floating deck. So nice.

    Modern Houseboat with Great Views & Host

    We had an amazing stay on Joep’s houseboat! It’s a cool, modern space with tons of natural light and a super comfy bed. Joep was a great host, and being right on the water made the whole experience really special.
