Houseboat summary

This winter we warmly welcome you aboard our wonderful and warm houseboat, on the Verge of the Jordaan area. The spacious living room reflects the water while you enjoy the great scenery of our canal through the large sliding window. Even in the middle of the winter the boat feels comfortable thanks to the floored heating and retro vintage design. Not to mention the amazing bathroom with Italian tiling, rain shower and large bath to relax after a great day in town.

Houseboat description

The houseboat, designed under architecture, offers a great combination of vintage elements such as a curved ceiling and wooden walls with modern luxury. It was quite a challenge to do this, but we succeeded. The most striking thing about the houseboat is the large sliding window that gives a wonderful view over our canal, so you can watch the ducks, swans and geese swim by while you relax at the large dining table.

The open kitchen offers all amenities you expect in a high-end cuisine: a electric coocer, water boiler, microwave- combi oven, refrigerator, coffee machine, dishwasher and even a washing- dry machine. About the interior. Enjoy the flatscreen tv (70 channels+) from a genuine chair of Gerrit Rietveld, one of the most famous Dutch furniture designers, and have a dinner at the vintage table of Hollands design master Louis van Teeffelen. And off course we have free and high speed Wifi to keep you connected at all times.

About the area

You will be staying at the wonderful Da Costakade, a canal in the buzzing neighborhood called Oud West, on the verge of the Jordaan Area. Many great points of interest are located within walking distance. The Anne Frank-house is just a 5 - 7 minute stroll away, and in about 10 minutes you are at the Leidseplein (Leidse Square), as well as the world famous Vondelpark and Museum Square. There are various bus- and tram stops nearby to take you to literally every corner of the city in less than 30 minutes. 

Although the location is really convenient, you will not be bothered by tourist masses at all. Actually our canal is surprisingly quiet and safe, making our houseboat perfect for a relaxed holiday with friends or family.

The boat has two separate bedrooms, each with a large double bed that can be separated if you would like to sleep apart. The sleeping couch in the living room can be used as a comfortable bed for two persons. The sleeping area in the living room can be made more private by using the heavy quality curtain. This actually gives a very cosy atmosphere that especially kids really like a lot. The bathroom could be called a little Spa without exaggerating. The half sunken bath and rain shower are covered with the beautiful Italian tiles of Appiani and give view to the original porthole. Two sinks with design taps make sure there is enough space for everybody and there won't be a traffic jam in the morning.

    Superb barge 5 * Show original

    The houseboat was a great experience for our family of 4. The owner Juul was very attentive to our questions and honored our reservation despite a very bad storm which caused minor damage to the houseboat ahead of our arrival. We loved the central location on a quiet canal. Easy walking distance to all attractions, restaurants, tram, supermarket etc. Plenty of room for all of us and enjoyed the large picture window that overlooked all the wildlife on the canal. An outdoor patio similar to many other houseboats would be a fabulous feature. Highly recommend.

    The Perfect Experience on an Amsterdam hosueboat

    I cannot say enough good things about our experience here. Everything went perfectly from booking to check-out. Juul and Iris were excellent hosts and gave us plenty of helpful information before our trip. The boat was very cute and cozy and has everything you need whether you're staying for a weekend or a week. The boat is in a quiet residential neighborhood but it is still close to the central city and there are plenty of spots within easy walking distance. 10/10 would stay again.
