Floating house

This three-story floating house on IJburg offers a unique blend of city access and waterfront tranquility, ideal for families or small groups of up to four. After busy days exploring Amsterdam’s center, you can dive directly into the clear water from the terrace, fire up the BBQ on the roof, or simply relax with harbor views and the gentle motion of the house. The home includes three bedrooms, a washer, an indoor fireplace, and cooking basics, while thoughtful extras like children’s dinnerware and luggage dropoff make arrival seamless. It’s a calm, spacious base that feels like a holiday retreat, yet the tram station is just a short walk away for a 10-minute ride to Central Station. Guests consistently praise the experience, reflected in a 4.8 rating from 30 reviews, and the shared pool adds a bonus splash of fun.

IJburg and Zeeburgereiland offer a refreshing contrast to the historic center, with wide skies, calm waters, and a relaxed, modern feel. The house is steps from a tram stop (line 26 reaches Central Station in about 10 minutes), and a supermarket is a 5-minute walk away. A nearby park provides green space for picnics or strolls, while the waterfront setting means you’re surrounded by boats and open air—perfect for unwinding after a day of sightseeing.
