Houseboat vacation rentals in Western Europe

What a special place to stay in La Parguera. It's right on the water and laying in the hammock on the porch overlooking the cays is so relaxing an beautiful. It feels a bit like a house boat with the compact space and little quirks you might expect. The decor is so cute and well considered. There is a nice grill and outdoor kitchen too. It was so fun to take the kayak out in the mangroves. I'd recommend bringing ear plugs and insect repellent for the nights.

The houseboat itself is a dream and super well located, if on the one hand you love the beauty and tranquility of the countryside, sheep and green meadows on your doorstep but on the other hand also like to go to the beach or to the cities. The train is quickly reached and this is a big plus in the parking situation in Amsterdam. Leonora and Erwin were easy to reach and always there for us when we had questions. Super nice hosts! Thank you so much dear ones!

This is was truly a very nice experience , you won’t forget it. What a beautiful spot. Gia is such an amazing host and extremely responsive .

Everything was great! All of it. Would gladly stay to this beautiful place!

This is literally the perfect place to stay in Charlottetown! Within walking distance to anything you need including restaurants, coffee shops, parks and downtown. The space itself was cozy yet spacious. It was clean and comfortable and the highlight was the covered patio outside to watch the boats go by. We will definitely return!

We had a wonderful stay in London on Meg's unique narrow boat Jessie. Everything was well prepared for us to feel at home. Our kids loved to feed the ducks with the provided duck food in the mornings and evenings - when we were resting from the adventures 'outside'. It was very special for us to live on such a unique boat in the midst of London 😍. Thank you for everything Meg!

Very beautiful place! Hana was also very helpful and responsive.

Hanco’s house boat was just perfect for our stay. The location was perfect and we could easily walk to everything that we wanted to see, and there was a fantastic supermarket (Ekoplaza) and cafe deli (Stach) a 5 min walk away. We also enjoyed watching the coots and their chicks in a nest right outside the window! Hanco was incredibly helpful and responsive, and kindly put a travel cot up for our arrival.

We absolutely loved our stay. From the minute Tom greated us it felt like a home away from home. The cabin was extremely homely and it was lovely to switch off from the online world. We used the guide book provided and spent a day in Lyme Regis and then West Bay. We loved sitting by the pond and reading a book with a cup of tea. We even saw a deer! Although unfortunately not the white stags! We will be back!!

Joseph is an excellent host! Very responsive, proactive, and provides great local tips. We thoroughly enjoyed this unique stay with great fishing and close proximity to restaurants. The houseboat had everything we needed including beautiful sunset views.

Had a lovely short stay at The BoatHouse. Views were absolutely stunning and the accommodation was spacious and comfortable. The beds were super comfy. The work next door was a little noisy at times but we were pre-warned and to be honest it didn’t bother us. Just beware to close the blind in the bathroom as the crane provides a direct view in! Please note that you need to bring your own toilet/kitchen roll for the accommodation otherwise everything was extremely well stocked. Would definitely return!

The stay was great. The owners are close by and available for assistance. Requesting gas everyday day was a little annoying and the tank ran out of water on our last stay. Overall was a good experience.

We so much enjoyed our stay on the Splashing Pelican. It was peaceful and comfortable - a unique experience on our first visit to this beautiful part of Florida. Not much wildlife to report, but the super athletic fish were amazing and did their best to put on a show for us. And we so enjoyed the sunsets. We also enjoyed kayaking and visits to Vero Beach. Natalie was helpful at all times. Thank you.

I surprised my wife and 3 year old daughter with this place for their birthday's, and they were blown away! The elk hung out right outside the living room windows! It was also great having morning coffee on the porch and watching all of the animals get their breakfast! We would definitely recommend this stay

This houseboat is immaculate and very comfortable with a view from the deck that can't be beat! It feels very private, but also close to so much- great restaurants, walking and biking trails, and even a small beach. The hosts are super helpful and welcoming. It was an absolute pleasure spending time here!

If you’re looking for a unique getaway with a welcoming host and a gorgeous setting, this is the place for you! From the moment we arrived, Linda, the host, greeted us with a smile and the wonderful surprise of a freshly baked loaf of bread, which was such a thoughtful touch and made us feel right at home. In fact, thoughtful is the watchword here, the houseboat was stocked with everything you could possibly need, the fridge was fully stocked with essentials like milk, butter, jams, infused water, and Linda even had a selection of ice creams for us. The property itself is in a peaceful location, but still close to so many places, for example Hampton Court Palace is within walking distance. It was spotless and wonderfully maintained, the bed was huge and the attention to detail exceptional, even leaving duck feed for us to feed the ducks and Swans that swam up to our door. We didn’t use the Sauna but I highly recommend the Swedish Hot Tub, it made what was already a relaxing experience

This was the best Airbnb we’ve ever stayed in! The houseboat is in a perfect location, sitting right at the iconic Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge, close to all the hotspots in Charleston. It was a beautiful home and exceeded our expectations. There was occasional wake from boats coming/going, but it was truly hardly noticeable so don’t let that be a deterrent from staying here. We even saw dolphins each morning swimming in the harbor from the front deck of the houseboat! The hosts were excellent with communication. We will definitely be back!

Beautiful and private house on a tranquil marina. We loved our stay here.

Amazing stay. We came for a babymoon just to relax and have some peaceful and calm alone time. And that is exactly what we got, a scenic and peaceful stay, close to restaurants and a variety of activities, from a thoughtful and responsive team.

Incredible place to stay in Amsterdam. Easy to access the many different parts of the city, and so many great options nearby. Ayla & Jake were incredible hosts, and we hope to stay there again in the future.

The water sing definitely did not disappoint! Beautifully decorated and sat upon a gorgeous lake full of lily pads and fish. If you’re looking for a place to switch off that’s peaceful and relaxing I 100% recommend a visit!

We had an amazing stay here! The boat was super cozy, and the area was nice and quiet, except for the lovely sound of birds. We were "lucky" enough that it rained one day, but the stay just got even better because of it. Can't wait to book this place again.

Everything was perfect and relaxing, undoubtedly a peaceful haven!

The house boat was absolutely and all the surroundings were beautiful! The employees that were around the property were so kind and very helpful and when I texted the response was immediate😊
