HouseBarge Fun

We had a lovely stay at The Captain's Cabin. The location was excellent and it was super fun to watch all the boat traffic buzz by. Gerben was very reachable and the boat was nicely appointed.

We thought the listing looked great and it exceeded our expectations. The space is so well thought out, cozy yet high end. The location was great, e could easily walk everywhere we wanted to go in Amsterdam. We also enjoyed just sitting on the deck and relaxing.

Due to a slight mixup with our booking we actually stayed in the Sailors Suite. The owner was very accomodating rearranging our booking. We had a wonderful stay in very unique accomodation. The facilities were exceptional and the cabin was well appointed and spotlessly clean.The area was well located for our needs. I highly recommend this property

Love the Captains Cabin

I cannot recommend this listing enough. They thought of everything you could want inside the house, the location is fantastic and the communication was seamless. You should definitely rent the Captains Cabin if you are even partially thinking about it. Just do it!

Total Dream Boat

Do not hesitate to book your stay here! The boat is beautifully renovated, has an incredibly comfortable bed, and, most importantly, is hosted by the loveliest family you'll meet in Amsterdam. From the day I arrived, I felt graciously welcomed with a warm authenticity that is hard to come by these days. The location is incredible. So close to city center (10 minute walk from Centraal Station) and yet when you return home, it feels like a quiet oasis away from the hubbub of the city. There are lovely patio chairs to sit out and relax as you gaze across the canal. Gerben and Rodinde are ready to provide you with any recommendations or information you might need. It is truly a magical place to stay, and I can't wait to return!

Exceeded expectations in every way

Where to start??? Gerben (and Rodinde) was the ultimate host, the houseboat was incredible, and the location was exceptional. We didn't know what to expect since the property was brand new to VRBO, so you can imagine our surprise and delight that EVERY detail had been thought through. From heated floors to plenty of kitchenware to a lighted mirror in the bathroom (not to mention the fancy Japanese toilet and sauna!), we felt very pampered. For my daughter and me, it was the perfect place to spend a few days and decompress after she returned from Semester at Sea. We had the best time sitting on the deck and waving to boat tours going by! We were also surprised how quiet the neighborhood was despite its proximity to the train station and the heart of the city. We are so grateful to Gerben and Rodinde for helping us create such beautiful memories and will absolutely return one day!

The houseboat is central to everything. It absolutely was the best! The host is stellar. The houseboat was so so comfortable. All amenities have been thought thorough so nothing, absolutely nothing was missing. Beds, bedding super. Can’t say enough good things about this property. It’s the only place you should be staying in Amsterdam. Thanks for a memorable vacation. Best money we have ever spent

This is an excellent place. We loved everything about it. The host was very responsive and friendly once we arrived. The boat is stocked with the necessities and even has a sauna! It is in an excellent location to walk to shops and restaurants, to catch public transportation, or rent bikes. We loved having a drink on the deck in the evening and watching the boats go by on the canal.

We liked the “experience”. It’s a boat so not recommended if you have mobility issues. Steep stairs and narrow walkways from the street to the boat. then ladder-like stairs inside the boat. The shower is bigger than expected and the sauna was a bonus. It’s hard to find places with king size bed; that’s one of the reasons we picked this one. Towels and linens were nice quality and I personally like it when a place offers bathrobes. We used the washer dryer. Once we figured it out (in Dutch). We enjoyed watching the boat cruises. The location was not in city center so I think it’s more quiet than other houseboats on the canal. We did a lot of walking. it seemed to be at least a 15-20 walk to places we went to. We took Ubers a few times.

Een nieuw juweel!

Amsterdam is een nieuw juweel rijker! Deze B&B combineert moeiteloos elegantie met comfort. De aandacht voor detail in de inrichting en service was opmerkelijk. Heerlijk centraal gelegen met alles op loopafstand. De tips van de gastheer voor lokale bezienswaardigheden waren spot-on. Dit was zonder twijfel een van de beste accommodaties waar we ooit hebben verbleven. Vijf sterren zijn eigenlijk niet genoeg!”
