Monthly Rentals in Zaanse Schans

We had a fabulous time at Monique’s place. The view across to the windmills of Zaanse Schans was a real highlight, right up there with the breakfasts. We were unaware that the day after our arrival was King’s Day but Monique very kindly looked up the public transport timetable for us which ensured our trip into Amsterdam to join pre-booked tours went without a hitch. Monique’s checkout flexibility also allowed a second visit to Zaanse Schans which we really appreciated. Thank you so much Monique, staying with you was a wonderful end to our travels.

Really great apartment, we loved it and immediately filled up at home. The furniture, the kitchen, the wood, just tip. We will be happy to come back!

This is our third time staying at Tine’s cottage over the past nearly ten years. It feels like a home away from home. We love Tine and she treats everyone like family. In case you don’t know already, this cottage sits on a quiet street, with its own private parking, entrance, and privacy. It is a very short walk into the backside of Zaanse Schans by the Windmills. You can borrow one of Tine’s many bicycles or simply walk the flat peaceful lanes into the open air park and experience clogs making, cheesemaking, stroopwafels, historic homes and neighborhoods well preserved, shops and gifts, a museum, and the most beautiful intact and functioning windmills you’ll find anywhere in the area - plus much more. It’s only 7-8 minutes to the Zaanse Schans train station and a straight shot in 15 minutes on the train to Centraal Station. Also very easy to get to Keukenhof via train, car, bus, etc. Grocery stores and restaurants close by. Our favorite spot out of all we’ve stayed at in Holland!

We had a fantastic weekend at Peter & Jose’s place. It is in a quiet and picturesque location although quite secluded, so the nearest shop was a 15-20 minute walk away and the train station around half an hour. However, Jose has bikes you can borrow to make the journey a little shorter and most of the walk is through the open air museum passing beautiful windmills and pretty houses. We had no trouble getting an uber from the station when we came back in the evening, and the train journey into central Dam was only 15 minutes. The accommodation is spacious, nicely furnished and well equipped. We really appreciated the delicious breakfast provided by Jose on the first and last mornings of our stay. Highly recommended and we certainly hope to return!
