Great communication with staff from booking to arriving. Came with my teens and we had a wonderful adventure in Amsterdam. The property is close to supermarkets, lovely restaurants, and if you walk a bit (we did 20+K steps a day (Vondelpark Park, all the museums). Amsterdam center is a very walkable city, then we took 1 chill day on the boat before schools starts in NYC. school start in them

The houseboat is in a great location for walking all over Amsterdam. It is at least 20 min from Schiphol, not 8 minutes as listed. The bed arrangement was not as shown in the ad, leading to some disappointed teenagers that had to share a tiny sleep space. The furniture is different too, so an update to the ad is needed. Its very noisy at night, so bring earplugs. Otherwise it was convenient and easy, and definitely different from a typical hotel stay! We had no contact with our hosts but it was not necessary. Its very nice to watch the boats on the canal go by right from your window.

Our family had a lovely time staying at Houseboat Avalon! It was comfortable, well decorated, and had plenty of room for 2 adults and 2 children (10 & 12) for a few days. We loved being steps away from great restaurants, coffee, shops, and staying on the canal was such a fun experience. Check-in was easy (lockbox code and a quick call to make sure we had found everything we needed) and the host communicated well in advance and during our stay. Would definitely stay here again!

Our family of four had a perfect stay at this charming, comfortable houseboat. Our biggest concerns were that it would be cramped and that it might be loud. Neither was the case. The space is elegant and spacious and more comfortable than most hotels or apartments we've rented. The spot on Prinsengracht is close enough to find groceries, restaurants, bars, etc, but far from the noise of partying. The hosts were responsive and wonderful. Just a great stay all around and we can't wait to get back.

The houseboat was a perfect spot to stay in Amsterdam! The location couldn’t have been better and staying right on (or in) the canal was an incredible experience.
We had a lovely time watching boats drive by and greeting the ducks that swim up when we opened the windows.
The interior was clean and comfortable, and we were able to cook and make our morning coffee.
We would absolutely stay here again.

The boat on the canal was amazing! I'd definitely stay there again. It gave our visit to Amsterdam even more of the local experience.

We had an excellent visit to Amsterdam and it was partly because of how perfect the houseboat was! It was clean and spacious and really centrally located! Highly recommend for the full Amsterdam experience! Beds were comfortable, boat had everything we needed and more! I was worried about sleeping on a “boat”, but it barely moved and I couldn’t even tell! 10/10 would recommend!

What a wonderful stay in our own houseboat. So close to many major attractions and nestled in a charming neighborhood. Many excellent restaurants and shops for you to enjoy your morning or evening stroll. If coming back to Amsterdam, this will be the place we book again!

This property was very fun to stay in. It is located on a main canal and provides easy access to the exciting life in Amsterdam. The boat was comfortable for two of us. The only real downside is the traffic on both sides -boats on one side, cars, bikes and people on the other.
10.0 / 10.0
We loved this experience so much! We live on a sail boat full time, so it only seemed appropriate to try out a house boat in Amsterdam. The boat was very comfortable and had everything we needed. We did not cook any meals on the boat. The heater kept the boat plenty warm. We love it so much that we cancelled some of our other plans to enjoy some time on the boat.
The Jordaan neighborhood is delightful as well. There are so many places close by….shops, bars, and restaurants. The Saturday market was impressive and a must do!!
We hope to visit again some day soon!

My 2 sisters and I stayed on the houseboat for our girls trip to Amsterdam. It's in a great location and neighborhood that is close to many key tourist attractions. The boat itself was quite functional and things were clean. We stayed in December so had to crank up the heat as insulation isn't great. The pictures are either of a different but similar boat or represent the boat before a shift in some of the furniture and layout. The queen bed is in a blocked off room with door and couch is different. Communication was pretty good with the management staff and the owner was quick to reply when we were unclear about the hot water (it exists, though doesn't get super hot in the shower). I'd consider staying here again with my family (spouse plus 2 kids).

Houseboat in Amsterdam, what else is there to say?
Host allowed us to check in early, wonderful after an overnight flight. Very nice boat in a fantastic location. Comfortable for myself and two teenagers. Short walk to everything we wanted to see, close enough to come back for a few minutes to recharge. Quiet despite the in-town location.

For our first trip to Amsterdam, this houseboat was perfect! Comfortable, clean accommodations, and everything we needed. Neighborhood is gorgeous - we loved just sitting at home and watching the city go by on the canal. Our host was very responsive and flexible as well. Would definitely stay again!

This houseboat was a nice place to hangout during the day. The shower is absolutely terrible. It’s very dirty. The beds I slept in was at street level so the noise for peopl and motorcycles is rough. The woman managing was very strange. We had 3 guests, and apparently I booked for 2, so she kept coming In unannounced to get “cash”. I also learned from a local that the laws in AMS regarding property rentals are strict. Not sure how much the owners care about the rules or their customers. Overall, dirty, overpriced, in a great location. More of a fort that a house.

I loved experiencing first hand life on a houseboat. I could buy local groceries and eat my breakfast, walk around to see the sites and return home for a simple lunch, nap, then head out for new sights in the afternoon. I hosted friends one night and they loved it too. It does need a new paint job, and bring your own shampoo. I would have liked my host to have written down all the great reccos she said verbally as I was so tired from the flight, I couldn’t remember all she said. But super friendly and responsive. I would definitely recommend.

I recently spent 4 days at the houseboat last week with my teenage daughters. It was a perfect location to explore Amsterdam. The boat was both clean and charming, and the check in process was seamless. I can't wait to go back!

Really, don’t stay here
#1 No- the tally for stay doubled after the cleaning was added in- But we thought it would be really special
#2 No- it wasn’t very clean- the floors left our socks black and the teeny tiny bathroom always smelled bad in a big way
#3 No- the noise from street and canal, round the clock
(it’s Amsterdam), made sleeping impossible, worse of course when neighborhood bars got going
Very sad property, as with some attention from owners (renovating inside and outside), it could be charming. We looked across the canal at a lovely, well-kept houseboat, which made our situation seem even worse
A few more issues- the boat got unbearably warm w windows closed, but if windows were open, mosquitos came in and bit us
When toilet is flushed, it make a loud and prolonged flushing noise, waking up anyone sleeping
The floor of shower is dangerously slippery, esp if you are using soap
The managers who dealt w us on arrival were disorganized and vaguely rude. My partner had been communicating through the VRBO site w manager, who said to alert him when we arrived in Amsterdam. My partner texted several times on arrival, then called 5 times before reaching someone, who said they don’t have time to be looking at VRBO, as they have 150 properties to manage.
There were no toiletries and no welcome book, with houseboat and neighborhood info, both of which we typically find at other vacation rentals
Finally, the day after we arrived, another woman showed up. She asked us what time we were planning on checking out, and when we said noon, she said, “Well, check out is at 11:00, so you’ll need to be out by then.” So why did she even ask?
10.0 / 10.0
Boat is on the smaller side but the location is unbeatable. My travel buddy and I stayed here and enjoyed ourselves very much. Front door is a small one so do a few stretches first and you’ll be golden. :)
