Unique Houseboat Stay in Amsterdam

Wake up right on the water in this charming houseboat studio on Amsterdam's beautiful Jaagpad. Open the curtains to a wonderful waterside view, step outside onto your private terrace and enjoy your morning coffee while watching the water. The peaceful surroundings make you feel far away from the busy city, while everything Amsterdam has to offer is still within easy reach.

The space

The bright and comfortable studio has a high-quality box-spring bed, a private bathroom with rain shower and a small kitchenette with fridge, Nespresso machine, microwave and kettle. There is fast free Wi-Fi, a flatscreen TV and central heating for a comfortable stay throughout the year. The absolute highlight is the private terrace directly on the water. Have breakfast outside, enjoy a glass of wine in the evening or simply relax and take in the beautiful view. In summer, you can even take a refreshing swim.

Guest access

I will check you in personally — you have your own private studio and waterside terrace, and whenever possible you will be welcomed in person. Self check-in with a key safe is also available on request. Check-in is between 3:00 PM and 11:00 PM.

The neighbourhood

The houseboat is located in Amsterdam South, a green, safe and peaceful part of the city. The Jaagpad itself is especially beautiful: a quiet waterside path that feels almost like a hidden corner of Amsterdam. Nearby you'll find plenty of cafés, restaurants and local spots around the Amstelveenseweg, Stadionplein and Vondelpark. For brunch and coffee, the Vondelpark area is a lovely place to start your day, and from there you can easily continue towards Museumplein and the historic centre. It's the perfect combination: peace and nature at home, with the energy of Amsterdam just a short bike ride or Uber away.

Getting around

The houseboat comes with two bikes, free for you to use. There's a tram stop about 15 minutes' walk away — a pleasant stroll along the canal, passing all the different houseboats along the way — taking you to the museums and the centre of Amsterdam. It's also just a 15-minute bike ride to the centre.

Other things to note

We have a brand new terrace on the water! Open the doors and enjoy breakfast or a glass of wine right on the water with splendid views. In summer, you can even take a swim in the river.

Interaction with guests

The owner of the houseboat was born and raised in Amsterdam and knows the city inside and out. As a lover of Amsterdam's cultural scene, she's happy to point you towards the best concerts, exhibitions, neighbourhoods, flea markets and shopping spots. She will welcome you herself and is available daily to help make the most of your stay.
