A unique adventure with a charming host!
We enjoyed two days and nights on this lovely houseboat just outside of Amsterdam center. Our host made everything easy with impeccable communication. The houseboat itself was a fun adventure and we so enjoyed being gently rocked to sleep while listening to the breeze, the waves, and night birds. The view of Amsterdam at night was magnificent. Casey was a wonderful host - attentive, engaging, and friendly. All in all, this was a fantastic experience and we would definitely stay here again if we were coming to Amsterdam. Thank you, Casey!

An experience of it's own :)
We had such a fabulous time here! It's small quarters because it's a boat... somewhat of a camper feeling. Being on the water and feeling the boat rocking is so relaxing. Casey was so, so kind and helpful. He thinks of everything- he showed us good places to go in town, explained how to get there on the tram, provided bikes as an option for travel, and even had motion sickness pills available for seasickness. When we ran into a small snag with the accommodations, he came over immediately to help. We definitely recommend staying here if you like adventure and new experiences. :)

Unique Amsterdam New Year's adventure on the water
The boat is ideally situated, about a 10-15 minute Uber ride from the city center. There's a really nice grocery store and restaurant within a 15-20 minute walk along the water. The highlight of our stay was the view of fireworks along the city skyline. It was a cozy and relatively quiet way to ring in the new year. The accommodations itself were really comfortable! It was winter, so obviously it was a bit chilly, but we bundled up and the boat's heater kept us comfortable. Quarters were a bit tight especially in the bathroom, which was expected, but everything worked well and the water was hot. Casey's attention to detail and communication added an extra layer of convenience to our trip. He picked us up from Amsterdam Central station, which was especially helpful with our luggage. Throughout our stay, Casey remained communicative, ensuring that we had everything we needed and provided great recommendations. In summary, it was a lovely and unique experience overall. If you're looking for a memorable and cozy retreat in Amsterdam, with a host who goes above and beyond to make your stay enjoyable, Casey's boat is the perfect choice. We would highly recommend this VRBO listing for a one-of-a-kind adventure on the water.

Cozy, relaxing place
Casey’s boat is a very cozy and fun place to stay. We stayed there with three people and enjoyed every minute of it. The quiet place and gentle swaying of the boat will let you get a great night’s sleep. There is no cooking in the kitchen, but it has a fridge, tea and coffee, and plenty of other ways to prepare a light meal. The bathroom is bigger than the ones I have seen on boats this size. It has a beautiful half tub and works just like on other boats. The elevated middle room where you enter functions as the living room. We played games there- it was spacious for us and cozy. You can sunbathe outside on top of the yacht or enjoy the atmosphere from a lazy boy seat on deck. Casey is very responsive and generous when/if you need something and gladly gives you information about plenty of things to do in the area. Amsterdam is not far and a great destination for the day. Weather depending there may be an opportunity for you to go on a boat ride in your boat with Casey as the captain. You can tell that he wants you to have a wonderful stay!

Séjour dépaysant !
Très agréable et original ! 2 nuits passées sur le bateau de Casey, nous avons adoré dormir bercés par les vagues. Casey prend le temps de tout expliquer et se rend disponible s'il y'a le moindre problème avec le logement. Nous reviendrons avec plaisir aux beaux jours :) A bientôt Julie

very nice, special experience
Lovely location, place with a lot of charm, very helpful owner, always ready to assist. One should just be aware of what it means to be on a boat- no real cooking possible, just microwave but works fine. Excellent supermarket nearby, quiet lovely surrounding in the countryside though within easy reach of the city center. The only slight nuisance (to me) was the high- voltage line nearby bit other than that great experience- thank you so much!

Our Wonderful Week on the Amsterdam Houseboa
We would like to express our heartfelt thanks for the wonderful week we spent on the houseboat in Amsterdam. The boat is not only beautifully designed but also perfectly situated – just about 30 minutes to reach the vibrant city center of Amsterdam (a short tram ride and a little walk), while still being surrounded by idyllic nature and just a stone's throw away from a cozy little town. Whether it was a bike tour, a refreshing dip in the water, or enjoying the hustle and bustle of the city – our week flew by. Our host was incredibly warm and took care of all our needs. It was truly a fantastic holiday, and we will definitely book the boat again.

Trip at Amsterdam
We had a great first experience living on a boat for our trip at Amsterdam in this nice and quite little village and so close to Amsterdam. We have really enjoyed to be so close to the visit and to have quite evenings on the boat. Such a great experience to do again in the future, 100%…

Gemütliches Boot am Rande der Stadt
Wir haben unsere Zeit auf dem Wasser und in der Stadt sehr genossen. Eine gute Mischung zwischen Trubel im bunten Amsterdam und Ruhe auf dem Boot mit sanftem Schaukeln. Es ist alles vorhanden, was man braucht auf engstem Raum. Zu Fuß und mit den Öffis braucht man ca. 30 min bis zum Bahnhof. Casey haben wir als sehr symphatischen und umsichtigen Gastgeber kennengelernt. Vielen Dank!

Besonderes Erlebnis
Wir haben ein Wochenende auf dem Boot verbracht und waren durchweg begeistert. Alles war super! Es war sauber, ordentlich und wirklich gemütlich. Unser Gastgeber Casey gab uns eine Einweisung in die Besonderheiten und gab uns außerdem ein paar Ausflugstipps für Amsterdam an die Hand. Es fehlte uns an nichts. In unmittelbarer Nähe gibt es alles was man benötigt. Es bleibt nur noch zu sagen: Danke, Casey! Danke, dass du uns und anderen Gästen dieses tolle Erlebnis möglich machst!

Casey was an amazing host. He explained everything and gave us a lot of tips for our Amsterdam trip. The house boat is an old lady from the 1960s with a lot of Charme and character and peculiarities- you have to treat it carefully. It was an amazing experience.

Unique and memorable experience
We had a lovely experience staying on the houseboat! The decor was vintage and cozy, we felt immediatly at home. Casey, the host, was very friendly, forecoming and always open to our needs. We spent a week as a 4-person family in Amsterdam. For such a group the space on the boat is tight, but manageable. We were, however, thoroughly informed about that beforehand. The location of the boat was in a very quiet area, which is wonderful to escape the hectic of the city. The only downside is, that it takes at least 15 minutes to get to the closest public transport by foot, unless you call yourself a taxi/uber/bolt, as Casey actually recommended. Overall it was a very enjoyable stay and we came back home with a unique and memorable experience. We absolutly recommend this stay!

Es war ein Geburtstagsgeschenk für meinen Mann. Ich hatte kaum Erwartungen aber bin sehr übberascht worden. Es war eine richtig schöne Auszeit vom Alltag. Die Lage war trotz schlechtem Wetter unfassbar schön. Direkt am Deich gelegen für schöne Spaziergänge und mit dem Auto in 12 Minuten in Amsterdam. Wir konnten uns entspannen und gleichzeitig die Stadt anschauen. Wir werden auf jedenfall mit unseren Kindern nochmal wieder kommen. Casey ist super freundlich und hilfsbereit.

Verrassing van de week
Casey is een superhost die je snel op je gemak stelt en wegwijs maakt op de boot en in de buurt. Ik heb heerlijk geslapen, al moet je wel tegen wat gewiebel kunnen op de boot. Een bootje is geen luxe hotel, het lijkt wat meer op kamperen, maar alles wat ik nodig had, was er. En meer dan dat: uitzicht over het water en direct kunnen lopen over de dijk zijn goud waard. De supermarkt is dichtbij en heeft heerlijk eten. En je bent zo in Amsterdam voor museumbezoek. Kortom, ik heb genoten.
