To kickstart the day jump in the water from the swimming platform. Or paddle around in the canoe (free) or on the SUPs (free). The houseboat has a good bathroom & towels to take a shower afterwards. The supermarket is around the corner where you can buy freshly baked bread for your breakfast. Some nice options to do afterwards. Enjoy a bikeride to the beautiful cities Hindeloopen and Workum (2 bikes for rent). Or the other way past the sluices and via Reade Klif to former fishing village Laaksum. Go shopping by train in Leeuwarden or Sneek. The ferry takes you across the IJsselmeer to Enkhuizen. Enjoy a nice bbq in the garden of the houseboat or use your cooking skills in the kitchen. If you prefer to dine out there are some nice restaurants. Finish the day by admiring the sunset over the IJsselmeer at the harborlights of Stavoren. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby - Beach loungers - Beach towels ### Internet - Available in the accommodation: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Hob - Microwave - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table ### Entertainment - Smart TV - Stereo ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - No lift (single-level property) - Single level property - Stair-free path to entrance - Smoke-free property ### Location highlights - Near a lake - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Kayak ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property;

Perfect houseboat vacation. We loved the boat, ever so slightly swaying at the front of the boat, but couldn't feel it in the beds, made us at home and relaxed. Very clean and appropriately appointed for our needs of eating out or cooking in (grocery store right across the canal, a 2 minute walk). The town is lovely to walk around or bike. We happened to be in town during a June parade and loved the experience. We ate at two local restaurants that were delicious. We enjoyed the kayak and stand up paddleboards in the canals for most of a day (definitely recommend). Can't wait to come back. ##### Kimberly S.

Wir haben die 3Tage sehr genossen, weil auch das Wetter gut war (22°-27°) Ein Zusatz waren die 2 Standup Boards und der Supermarkt nebenan. Man brauch nicht kochen, da es viele Restaurants in der Nähe gibt, die im Preis Leistungsverhältnis günstig sind. Im Allgemeinen ist das Haus sehr zu empfehlen, Vielen Dank für den schönen Aufenthalt in eurem Hausboot. ##### Anna F.
