Vacation rentals with a fireplace in Velsen

We had a lovely stay at Thomas and Britt's place. Unfortunately, we were late due to traffic and therefore could not be received in person by the two. But they were super understanding and explained to us how to get to the accommodation. The contact was always very nice. The house is super cute and clean. The garden is also beautifully landscaped. We will be happy to come back.

A beautiful house with an amazing garden. Perfectly located to go to the beach or visit Amsterdam or other cities around. We had a wonderful stay. The atmosphere in the house with its view over the stunning garden is amazing. Our kids very much enjoyed the toys. And the bathroom is heaven. Annemarie and Daan are extremely friendly and responsive. 100% recommended.

This house is the best Airbnb we’ve ever stayed at. It truly feels like visiting a close Dutch friend. The neighborhood is stunning—like a fairytale. The streets and houses are full of greenery and charm, a true delight to the eyes. The house is filled with family warmth and clever little touches. It was spotless and perfectly prepared for a comfortable stay. We were truly amazed by the welcome. When we walked in, we found a generous selection of delicious food. Fresh flowers were beautifully arranged around the house. Peter was incredibly friendly, we really appreciate his effort! He was always available, and we’re grateful for such a warm welcome. The garden deserves its own praise—it’s like a scene from a postcard. Sitting there with a cup of tea and enjoying the fresh air was pure joy. The location is excellent. Beautiful, scenic coastline is just a short drive away. Staying in this home was like stepping into a cozy, magical world. We truly hope to return someday! 🫶

Frans and Tessa have a fantastic eye for design. Especially the ground floor with light-flooded kitchen and the dining room with access to the garden were cozy and welcoming to eat there and spend nice evenings. You could relax at the jetty and the neighbors were super friendly. It's just a few minutes drive to Haarlem center. The two took a lot of time and answered all the important questions on arrival and at any time. For us, the mattress in the double bed was very soft and the nightly ventilation was a bit complicated if you don't want to leave the large windows open completely. All in all but a recommended place to stay!

Great place for a family holiday. Close to beach as well as to different cities Lovely house with very nice interior

Very nice home, terrific kitchen and living area, nice bedrooms, and garden. We rented bikes nearby and toured around the area like the locals! We cycled through the dunes to the beach a couple of times, one of the group had a chilly Spring swim in a nearby lake (would be much warmer in summer). Trains were within 5 minutes walk and, from there, very easy to get to Amsterdam, Utrecht and other places in the Netherlands. We really liked the local supermarket, which is also easily walkable.

All the instructions provided by Maya were very helpful to facilitate the arrival on site. The location is ideal for accessing both the city center shops and the shopping center. The living space of the house is very nice and everything is provided on site: sheets, towels, dishwasher pebbles, and a minimum to be independent (salt, pepper, etc.).

Thank you for the nice weekend!

The first thing I have to say is Sophie and Pieter are clearly lovely people. We were late because of traffic but Sophie waited for us and gave a warm and very helpful welcome. Secondly, the apartment is a real home from home. The kitchen has all the equipment you need if you want to dine at home. Throughout the apartment everything was clean and functional as well as being well designed and attractive. Thirdly, the location is excellent. The tram runs regularly on the Overtoom and gets you right into the centre in 20 easy minutes. On the other side is the Vondelpark, which is a slice of real Amsterdam that many people would miss, which is a shame as it’s fantastic. The bar run by the brewery was a real find for us. Around you are a number of excellent places to eat and drink on both sides of the park and into the centre. Finally I am going to return to Sophie and Pieter - honestly you could not get better hosts. Thank you very much - we intend to return.

Great apartment with amazing views! Great location! The small deficits in the apartment were promptly and quickly remedied. Very friendly staff at the reception. Highly recommended.

We had a great stay at Jorrit’s apartment! It’s in a great neighborhood with lots of restaurants and close to multiple tram lines that go into central Amsterdam. The space was comfortable and had everything we needed.

This stunning apartment is a lovely home away from home. We were able to make ourselves cozy and to easily cook breakfast. The apartment is about a 15 minute walk from central Haarlem but we found it very easy to navigate. The host was very responsive and went above and beyond to make us comfortable. Recommend!

Great place as described and in the photos. The view of the sea is simply fantastic. It was just a short trip, but it felt like a longer vacation. We'd love to come back anytime. We felt super comfortable.

My friends and I had a great stay in the property. The house was clean and cozy. It was peaceful with a cute rabbit Bambi outside in the barn :)

It’s very good and charming place to stay

Margor and Steven are nice and attentive, they give us a lot of helpful information about the area. The location is near the Zaandam train station and convenient when travelling to Amsterdam city centre. A very nice and cosy place to stay in NL.

We had the most fantastic week at Ivo's home. The house itself was spotless and we were welcomed with a beautiful basket of treasures for our stay as well as lovely soft bed linen and towels. It's very tastefully decorated and has all the amenities we required. A real home from home. The location is excellent. It was just a few minutes walk to the local shops and we especially loved the ice-cream boutique which serves the most delicious flavours. We used the train a few times to get to Haarlem and Amsterdam and the station is a short walk from the house. We didn't need to use our car the whole time we stayed there, preferring to cycle or walk. I cannot recommend Ivo's home highly enough.

Excellent apartment! Superb neighborhood (plus a mega bakery and an excellent supermarket within walking distance). The apartment is well-equipped. Clean, wonderfully furnished. It looks smaller in the photos than it is. The size is impressive. The heart of the loft is the SONY audio system and a nice vinyl collection. Many thanks to the hosts for their hospitality!

We stayed at Heleen's place with our family including our 2.5 yeard old daughter and our 11-month old sun and my parents at Heleen's place for a long weekend and had an amazing time! The location is fantastique if you are looking for a peaceful and quiet neighborhood close to nature (walkable) and beach. The house has a beautiful garden for kids to play in (including trampoline) and inside the house has all the amenities you need. We absolutely loved it as an escape from our normal city-life, this is an Airbnb experience you would not be able to get in any other way!

A beautiful house with all the advantages for a wonderful vacation. It has a great ambiance with plenty of space. The wardrobe is large and bright. The living and dining area is very nicely designed, the kitchen has all the features (dishwasher at standing height, great coffee maker, super stove, Quooker, dishes and glasses - very nice). The guest toilet on the first floor has a great design. The top two floors have very stylish high-quality furnishings with beautiful lighting. The bathroom is fully equipped, also very high quality. The garden is also very nicely designed with several seats with a very pleasant atmosphere, also covered. Everything was perfectly clean and beautiful, as shown in the pictures. The location is ideal for short distances to Alkmaar, Amsterdam and the sea. The lake in Akersloot is around the corner. We can fully recommend the house and will be happy to come back. Daphne and Mark are great hosts. Thanks!

Really enjoyed this last minute booking after arranging our tickets to the historic Dutch GrandPrix 2021 Formula 1. The Host Vivian was a great communicator pre, during and post the event. She arranged a pass through ticket to the closed event area within Zandvoort, which was a unique ticket to have closer access to the event by car. The house has a lot of charm, especially the living room and the garden with its relaxing area that was very welcome after a day of 20 thousands steps in Zandvoort.

We had an amazing stay at this stylish home! The decor is modern and chic, making it a lovely place to relax. It’s also very family-friendly, which was important to us as we were traveling with young children. The space felt safe and welcoming for little ones, with plenty of room for them to play. The location is perfect – just a short drive to both the beach and the city center, so we were able to enjoy the best of both worlds. Whether we wanted a day in the sun or exploring the local attractions, everything was within easy reach. Our host was incredibly proactive and helpful throughout our stay. She provided us with great recommendations and were always quick to respond to any questions we had. The kitchen was another highlight, being well-equipped with everything we needed to prepare meals. Overall, this home exceeded our expectations, and we would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a stylish home.

An absolute gem right on the canal – a dream for design lovers! This house is just a little paradise in the middle of Haarlem! The location directly on the canal is not only picturesque, but also wonderfully quiet – perfect for relaxing. The small garden is a green oasis, lovingly designed and ideal for a morning coffee or a glass of wine in the evening. The interior is exceptional – modern, exclusive and with a lot of sense of style and atmosphere. Every detail is well thought out, every piece of furniture seems to have been carefully selected. You can tell right away: Someone with a heart and a fine sense of design has set up here. The beds are wonderfully comfortable!

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this elegantly furnished and decorated beach house - very clean and comfortable with lots of interior space, nice backyard, and easy access to area amenities, e.g. walking distance to the beach, local coffee shops & stores including train station to Amsterdam. Located in a very nice, quiet, & charming neighborhood. I highly recommend this place!
