Amsterdam Water Villa with a view

This contemporary villa on Zeeburgereiland offers a unique Amsterdam stay for families or small groups of up to five. The house sits directly on the water, with a private garden that connects to swimming water, making it a rare urban retreat. Inside, the open layout is flooded with natural light, and amenities like a full kitchen, washer, and indoor fireplace add comfort for longer visits. The residential IJburg area is quiet and family-friendly, yet the city center is just a 15-minute tram ride away, giving you the best of both worlds. Note that two friendly resident cats share the home, so this is perfect for animal lovers seeking a homey, local experience.

IJburg is a modern, family-oriented island district east of Amsterdam's center, built on reclaimed land with a calm, residential feel. The villa is on Zeeburgereiland, a quiet sub-island with wide streets and water views. A tram stop 5 minutes away connects you to central Amsterdam in about 15 minutes, while local shops, cafes, and a beach are within walking distance. This area suits travelers who want a peaceful base with easy city access, and it's especially good for families.
