About this property

House Boat/Classic Yaght

The boat rocks gently and sometimes a bit more. Very relaxing and private. Everything you need is on board. Being on the water doesn’t take special skills but it helps if you are able to manouvre on and of the ship. It is a bit of an adventure and certanly not a everyday kind of stay
Guests can expect to find free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a kitchenette, a patio, and a refrigerator.

This was such a unique and fun stay! Close enough to the city to walk (a very pretty walk) to the bus station and take public transportation everywhere, but far enough away that it was very peaceful. Some of the best sleep I've had with the boat rocking us to sleep every night.

This was an absolutely fabulous part of our trip! We loved the boat and the host was very helpful. I would recommend earplugs if you’re a light sleeper as the sound of the water can get quite loud in the night if it’s stormy out but the rocking of the waves is incredibly comforting.

The houseboat was comfortable and our host was so friendly and accommodating. While we loved our stay, it's worth noting that the location is further from the city centre than we had expected and amenities like the washroom are not what we expected (cannot flush toilet paper and very small shower). We did not mind this being avid campers, but figured its worth noting for other people who may want more comfortable features for their vacation.

It was our first time staying on a boat, and it was a great experience! The boat is anchored in a calm spot surrounded by nature, yet it’s only a short trip to the bustling Amsterdam city center. Our host Casey was very friendly and helped us settle in right away. We felt very welcome and can warmly recommend this accommodation if you’re up for a little adventure.

Trip at Amsterdam

We had a great first experience living on a boat for our trip at Amsterdam in this nice and quite little village and so close to Amsterdam. We have really enjoyed to be so close to the visit and to have quite evenings on the boat. Such a great experience to do again in the future, 100%…

Casey ist ein wunderbarer Gastgeber. Freundlich und hilfsbereit. Staying on his boat is a bit like glamping on the water. The small bathroom takes some getting used to, but you get along well with it. We would not hesitate to holiday there again. The location very close to the city is perfect.

Cosy houseboat

Casey was an amazing host. He explained everything and gave us a lot of tips for our Amsterdam trip. The house boat is an old lady from the 1960s with a lot of Charme and character and peculiarities- you have to treat it carefully. It was an amazing experience.

A wonderful time

My grandchild and I spent 3 days in Amsterdam and 2 nights on the House Boat. After being in the city of Amsterdam during the days, we looked forward to the relaxation and the quiet surroundings in the evening and during the night time.The House Boat was very cozy and very comfortable.We enjoyed the sway of the waves on the House Boat. We had never lived on a House Boat before and we loved our time on it very much.It was a great experience!Casey was a great host and he was nearby in case we needed his advice.Thank you Casey for offering your House Boat to us!We will come again !

Guests need to be fit and agile.

Host warned us of potential difficulty getting on board. Boat was comfortable and well equipped. Exterior was not quite ready for guests. Some minor inconveniences didn’t spoil our stay. As sailors we found the host to be lacking in knowledge of his vessel. Public transport was close by or Uber for those of us less fit. It was great to stay away from the bustle of the city.

Lovely location, place with a lot of charm, very helpful owner, always ready to assist. One should just be aware of what it means to be on a boat- no real cooking possible, just microwave but works fine. Excellent supermarket nearby, quiet lovely surrounding in the countryside though within easy reach of the city center. The only slight nuisance (to me) was the high- voltage line nearby bit other than that great experience- thank you so much!

A unique adventure with a charming host!

We enjoyed two days and nights on this lovely houseboat just outside of Amsterdam center. Our host made everything easy with impeccable communication. The houseboat itself was a fun adventure and we so enjoyed being gently rocked to sleep while listening to the breeze, the waves, and night birds. The view of Amsterdam at night was magnificent. Casey was a wonderful host - attentive, engaging, and friendly. All in all, this was a fantastic experience and we would definitely stay here again if we were coming to Amsterdam. Thank you, Casey!

Our Wonderful Week on the Amsterdam Houseboa

We would like to express our heartfelt thanks for the wonderful week we spent on the houseboat in Amsterdam. The boat is not only beautifully designed but also perfectly situated – just about 30 minutes to reach the vibrant city center of Amsterdam (a short tram ride and a little walk), while still being surrounded by idyllic nature and just a stone's throw away from a cozy little town. Whether it was a bike tour, a refreshing dip in the water, or enjoying the hustle and bustle of the city – our week flew by. Our host was incredibly warm and took care of all our needs. It was truly a fantastic holiday, and we will definitely book the boat again.

Such a fun experience

Make sure you go with someone who is open to experiencing a boat and doesn’t complain much. Other than this I loved the boat! The property owner was kind and very helpful. It is not too far from the center, 15-20min scenic walk to center. Was nice to go back to a quiet place after being in the crowded center. If you do not like spiders keep in mind it is a mass above the water, there are friendly spiders. Took Dramamine everyday and didn’t have issues, supermarket isn’t far. The rocking of the boat actually helped me sleep. Lots of rules to keep safe so keep in mind you must be serious to be on the boat as well.Thanks for the experience!

An experience of it's own :)

We had such a fabulous time here! It's small quarters because it's a boat... somewhat of a camper feeling. Being on the water and feeling the boat rocking is so relaxing. Casey was so, so kind and helpful. He thinks of everything- he showed us good places to go in town, explained how to get there on the tram, provided bikes as an option for travel, and even had motion sickness pills available for seasickness. When we ran into a small snag with the accommodations, he came over immediately to help. We definitely recommend staying here if you like adventure and new experiences. :)

Unique and memorable experience

We had a lovely experience staying on the houseboat! The decor was vintage and cozy, we felt immediatly at home. Casey, the host, was very friendly, forecoming and always open to our needs. We spent a week as a 4-person family in Amsterdam. For such a group the space on the boat is tight, but manageable. We were, however, thoroughly informed about that beforehand. The location of the boat was in a very quiet area, which is wonderful to escape the hectic of the city. The only downside is, that it takes at least 15 minutes to get to the closest public transport by foot, unless you call yourself a taxi/uber/bolt, as Casey actually recommended. Overall it was a very enjoyable stay and we came back home with a unique and memorable experience. We absolutly recommend this stay!

The host was the reason that I gave 2 stars instead of 1 but it can be described as 'roughing it' in broad terms, it is not by any sense a House Boat - nobody could live there. It's a boat, you could not stand up in places like the entry or the bathroom. The toilet didn't have a flush but a hose from the sink to drain it.My father and I arrived after taking an overnight flight from the states to Amsterdam. We relied on public transportation thinking that it was only North Amsterdam but I could've seen cows or sheep in the distance from it. On top of that a storm was rolling in and the host said that the boat would likely be going up and down quite a bit.We both read the description but didn't realize that it was more of an experience than a nice place to stay for a couple of days in the middle of nowhere. Complete mistake, the host was gracious enough to give us a ride back to the city limits as we booked a hotel space.
