About this property
Houseboat: "Splendid" at Marina Monnickendam tender included
A Surla Houseboat is a sailing summer residence. Our water villas are fully equipped, 100% ecological and self-sufficient. Luxury, comfort and respect for nature come together here. This houseboat (built in '22) is fully equipped.
The Surla Houseboat is 15 meters long and 6 meters wide. A total area of 84m2 excluding the roof terrace. The living room and kitchen are 25m2, and equipped with 3 large sliding doors, so you always have a phenomenal view. There is a spacious living room with a couch, dining table, tv and sliding doors to the front terrace with outdoor chairs. The open plan kitchen is fully equipped with an induction cooker, fridge, oven, dishwasher, kettle and Nespresso coffee machine. There's also a table-top freezer in the utility room. The bathroom is equipped with a shower, sink and a (dry) toilet. There are 3 bedrooms on the houseboat. Two bedrooms with hotel beds (1.80 x 2.00m), especially designed for Surla Houseboats. The third bedroom has a bunk bed (0.90 x 2.00m). Via outside stairs you can go to the spacious rooftop terrace where there is a lounge set to enjoy beautifull sunrises and sunsets. Last but not least: on the back terrace is a warm outdoor shower, great after a swim.
Surla has check-in hosts available, here name is Natasja. She will welcome you and guide you to the houseboat. It is nice for our hosts that you indicate early what your expected arrival time is. You will receive the host's telephone number in the instructions. You will receive this via email more than a week before arrival.
Location houseboat: In the summer (wheather permitting), Surla puts the houseboat in a beautiful spot/location on the lake. The houseboat remains in place by means of spud poles. In bad weather conditions, a Surla employee will put the houseboat in a sheltered place in the marina of Monnickendam. This can also happen during your rental period, because we don't want to take any risks. You can park your car in the marina of Monnickendam (free parking). After passing the entrance gate. Drive straight, after the white building, the 2nd road to the left. At the end of the road you can park your car.
Surla Tender (Dinghy): During your stay we provide an dinghy. This aluminum tender is included during the rental of the houseboat. It is important that you start the tender with the trottle in Neutral. Do you want to lock the tender when you are not using it? Also at night?
Sail slowly! Place the tender at the front or back of the houseboat. Gently moor so that there is no damage to the houseboat or tender. We will charge for damage immediately.
The tender is fully fueled upon your arrival. The request is to fill it up again before checking out (Gasoline 98), so that the next guests also have a full tank. You can buy gasoline at the Texaco in the village or you can buy a jerry can from our host Uwe. You can also put the amount on the table in cash: 40 euros for an empty tank and 20 euros for half a tank. If the tender has not been refueled and no money has been left behind on departure, we will charge the costs afterwards.
Note: * We don't let our guests sail with the Surla houseboat themselves, but a dinghy is included in the rent. Sail at walking pace with the dinghy, we are guests on the water. Any fines are for your own account. Note: * We don't let our guests sail with the Surla houseboat themselves, but a dinghy is included in the rent.

Langes Wochenende mit Familie.
Es war ein tolles Wochenende mit den Töchtern und Schwiegersöhnen (6Pers.)Tolles Boot, tolle Lage. Sehr freundlich Einführung, können wir gerne weiterempfehlen. Etwas ungewöhnlich war (für uns) die Trenntoilette, aber es gibt im Hafen auch normal WC.

Im Allgemeinen hatten wir einen schönen Urlaub. Wir wurden sehr gut und nett betreut, das Boot ist sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet, die Küchenzeile hat alles, was man braucht. Die Betten sind sehr bequem. Eine Fahrt mit der dazugehörigen Schaluppe durch den Hafen war sehr nett. Einzig die „trockene Toilette“ war für uns leider ein No-Go. Für 5 Personen, die wir waren, ist die Handhabung einfach nicht akzeptabel. Der konstante Fäkaliengeruch, auch im Hafen, war sehr störend. Für uns leider ein Grund, diese Art eines Hausbootes nicht mehr zu mieten.

Modern and spacious houseboat in perfect location
We certainly enjoyed our stay at the houseboat. Monnickendam is a cute little town with a nice market, shops and restaurants. Just a 10 minutes walk to the bus stop into Amsterdam - very convenient. On the houseboat you find everything you need. Perfect spot in the evening is on the rooftop. Our host provided us with a very warm welcome. Communication was easy and very pleasant. Getting used to the dry toilet is a little challenge - there are „normal“ toilets in the main building.
