Family-friendly holiday rentals in Ouderkerk aan de Amstel

Fred and Kelly’s place is absolutely wonderful. We stayed because the price was better and there was a little more room than many places directly in the city. Though we looked forward to it, we didn’t expect to fall in love with it…and we did! Staying outside of the city is pretty great. It’s a 10ish minute walk to the train station, and then an easy navigation to wherever you need to go. We didn’t mind the “commute” a bit, and it was nice to start off and wind down in a quieter setting. The place itself is well kept, clean, and cozy. The beds were comfortable and the shower was hot with good pressure. We enjoyed casting Netflix on the TV with the fireplace on in the evenings, and we spent a couple of mornings in the garden. We booked this spot our entire stay, but also spent one night in Amsterdam to experience “city life,” and also spent one night in Utrecht. These were perfect additions to our home base plan. I’d definitely stay here again!

ACCOMMODATION as described in a peaceful place in the countryside of Amsterdam, the welcome of Sheniva top, beautiful environment, I recommend it.

Our team of 6 people, business travel after one night, 1, the owner of the house proactively communicated to confirm the arrival time, it was planned to arrive at 8:30, the actual arrival was 9:30 -10, with 1 hour notice, the host was very patient; 2, There is a tree house and a swing in the house; 3. Easy parking🅿️; 4. Surrounded by 2.5km sea and beach, there are shells on the beach🐚, which is suitable for walking to see the beach🏖️;

We had a wonderful holiday in Moniek’s beautiful house. We were so comfortable and relaxed as Moniek provided everything we could need. There were lots of lovely, stylish extras in her house too that made our stay feel special. The neighbourhood is great; quiet, peaceful and full of beautiful views of boats, beaches parks, nature and water. Yet there is also loads to do with teenagers, being so close to Amsterdam, Ajax and Delft. Almere is the perfect place to explore by cycling. The week went so quickly. Moniek was very helpful in giving useful and detailed info and in answering questions quickly. I would 100% highly recommend this AirBnB to others.

Sam was an amazing host for an equally amazing home and view. We'll definitely be back.

The house is situated in a bungalow park and the town and the sea can be reached by bike in 10 minutes. It has a hot tub with great views of a wide field. Hammock, trampoline, playground, everything is there. On cool evenings, a gas fireplace can easily be turned on. The open kitchen offers everything you need. We really enjoyed cycling through the dunes and spending time on the beautiful sandy beach. We would come back anytime.

We stayed at Trevor’s for several months. During our stay Trevor was an excellent host, answering our questions quickly. The house was well equipped with all the essentials. The location is perfect, walking distance to the train station and a beautiful view of the canal.

Perfect location, unique way to stay in the city. Would highly recommend. Very different experience, of course, than a home or hotel but this makes travel more fun. Being right on the "skinny" bridge was a fantastic experience. Great for people watching or just quickly being right in the middle of everything.

Fantastic house, exactly as described, beautiful location with bikes to commute along lovely, easy, safe route to train station. Perfect

Great place to stay with a great host, and we used the bikes provided often. Only 5 min bike ride to the train station & grocery store. Photos are a little outdated and it can get cold due to the nature of the construction.

We had a great stay at this apartment! Everything was very clean, tastefully decorated and furnished with a lot of love for detail. We felt comfortable right from the beginning. The location was ideal – quiet but still central, so we could easily reach everything. We particularly liked the warm communication with the host- always friendly, helpful and reliable. A small note: the stairs to the apartment are – typical of this beautiful old building – a bit steep. It wasn't an issue for us, but you should know. We would love to come back anytime and can absolutely recommend the place!

We had a wonderful stay at the accommodation in Zandvoort. The apartment was exactly as described and in the photos – clean, cozy and very welcoming. We felt comfortable right from the beginning. The location is just perfect – close to the beach, town and yet quiet. Annette was a great host: very friendly, easily accessible and with great tips for the area. We will definitely be happy to come back!

Had a great stay. The house is beautiful with history which we found great. Esther was also very friendly and accommodating. We would stay here again.

We had the most wonderful stay in this charming cabin nestled on the property of a windmill in Alkmaar. From the moment we arrived, our hosts Kelly and Han made us feel completely at home. They went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect—so kind, welcoming, and full of great local tips. The cabin itself is a dream—coziness taken to the next level. Every detail was thoughtfully put together, and it was the perfect place to unwind to relax. Waking up next to a windmill felt like something out of a fairytale. Alkmaar itself is a beautiful village full of history, with adorable shops and restaurants to explore. The charming canals add to the magical atmosphere, and it’s easy to hop on a train to Amsterdam for a day trip. We’re already dreaming of our return and feel so lucky to have made such lovely new friends in Kelly and Han. Highly recommend this magical spot to anyone visiting The Netherlands!

Absolutely wonderful hosts. Place is warm and cozy and has everything one needs for a comfortable stay. Looking forward to another visit perhaps when we can make use of the lovely outdoor space.

Thank you very much, Jacqueline! Beautiful house in beautiful town. Fresh tulips on the table. Apartments are clean and with everything you may need. Very nice location in quiet neighbourhood near the see.

Great host and great place. Very special venue, extraordinarily peaceful and comfortable with beautiful surroundings explorable by boat. Thank you Erik for taking such great care of us and being so responsive.

A quick ride from Amsterdam Central to a small harbor off the Main Street. Walkable to all the main attractions in Central Amsterdam and an easy spot to catch an Uber if you want to go further. The houseboat was as described on a quiet dock with friendly neighbors and two awesome houseboat cats Bo and Skipper. This was especially important since we were in town when Kings Day occurred and after a walk around the festivities, it was nice to retire from the craziness and relax on top of the houseboat. The host met us onboard walked us through everything and provided easy contact information for use during our stay. Check-out was a breeze. A great find and a great value!

A cozy beautiful place outside Amsterdam. The pool, the jacuzzi and the green space give you the perfect place to start and end your day after long walks in the crowded Amsterdam. We had to use Uber to go from and to Amsterdam which ended up costing us around 30-35€ per ride. There are instructions about public transport but when we checked online it would take about an hour to commute (we’re thinking maybe we checked at times where the bus was unavailable since the instructions from the host said it would take shorter). The pool and the jacuzzi would definitely benefit from bit more cleaning since the water was bit cloudy. Still, overall , absolutely worth it and we enjoyed our stay.

spacious farm stay with all the needed amenities!

a very pleasant stay on Steven's boat...spending a few days on the Don is a bit of a sailor but it's very pleasant. Weesp is a small town with an absolute charm, ideally located in relation to Amsterdam. Don't hesitate, ask permission to board.

Magdalena's place is set in an enchanting setting. We stayed there several nights with our 7-year-old son. The space is big, we have plenty of space. Access to the bus to Amsterdam is simple: 15 minutes walk and 15-20 minutes by bus, very easy and very convenient! By car we were able to visit the surrounding fishing villages. We would recommend this listing.

Marleen was very kind and her house was perfect. A wonderful experience

Great location lovely home. All family have had the best time. You definitely recommend!
