Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Zaanstad

Great spot to stay in for what we needed! Staying for a couple of nights before heading off fishing about 90 mins away. Easy to access Amsterdam, 3 stops on the train and 5 min walk to station. Chi’s place was great. Boss games room and loads of space to chill and relax. Will definitely be back 👍🏻

We had a wonderful few days in the cottage. Everything was very cozy, secluded and comfortable. Lots of cute little things, thoughtful explanations and instructions... I liked everything. I was pleasantly surprised by the gift of waffles, and it was also convenient to rent bicycles. It is convenient that literally everything in the house is signed, which makes it clear what and how to use. The bed was perfect, comfortable and warm. We slept well, it was convenient to cook, there was also a nice garden and yard. We got a lot of pleasure and were happy in this house. Marjolein is probably the most caring hostess I've ever met :)

Beautiful family home and welcoming hosts-highly recommend for families! Hosts were so helpful in recommending nearby restaurants, offering tips for the transit system etc. I wish we had spent more time enjoying their home during this trip to visit Amsterdam as the home is a gem-the outdoor spaces are lovely. The movie projector screen and large collection of movies was so fun to use. The home is in an ideal location to use as a home base to access nearby Amsterdam or the even closer and very charming town of Zaanse Schans.

I loved the city. Feels different than Amsterdam yet it’s just 2 train stations away. 5min walking from the train station and you’re home.

We had a nice stay at Aarts house and enjoyed the cozy and rural landscape. The apartment offered enough room for a group of 13. A special thing were the animals that we were allowed to pet. Very cute. We highly recommend to visit this house.

Ana Mer's home was absolutely wonderful! From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by how clean, cozy, and well-maintained the house was. Every detail matched the description perfectly, and it even exceeded our expectations. The thoughtful touches throughout the home made it feel like we were staying in our own home away from home. The space was not only comfortable but also beautifully decorated, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Ana was an excellent host—clear with communication, helpful, and kind, ensuring our stay was seamless. The location was perfect, making it easy to explore the surrounding area while still offering a peaceful retreat to return to at the end of the day. We truly loved our time here and can't wait to stay again the next time we visit. Thank you, Ana, for sharing your lovely home with us!

It was very nice in Anne's apartment. Surrounded by nature, horses, chickens and cats, very wide view of the green meadows, private terrace. In the morning you can admire the sunrise. The apartment is spacious and equipped with everything you need. Anne and her husband are very nice and open and always approachable for questions. It was great and we will be happy to come back!!!

Cute town, not far from sightseeing locations such as Amsterdam, Alkmaar and Edam. Lovely garden with a beautiful view and comfortable home. Good kitchen and dining table for our family of four! Nice, easy parking, and responsive host.

Amazing place! Suited my friends and I perfectly. Walking distance to trains, buses and food!

I had a wonderful stay! Elton was very friendly and welcoming, making the experience smooth from start to finish. The place itself was lovely—clean, cozy, and well-kept. It was also very quiet, which made for a relaxing atmosphere. The view was absolutely stunning and definitely a highlight. Highly recommend!

Fantastic apartment in a lovely town. Can not say enough good things about this stay

Doris's place is very sweet and beautiful! it's a cozy apartment with a water view. We had a wonderful holiday there. A short commute to Amsterdam and a great bakery around the corner.

Enjoyed staying here while on our trip to see Amsterdam. The location is perfect for either going into Amsterdam or deciding to venture to other places nearby. The train is easy and very walkable. In fact the walk to the train takes you past several nice streets and shops. The space provided us with the feeling of being at home while also being in a new and quaint place. Highly recommend.

David was a great Host! We really enjoyed our stay. The apartment was beautiful and well equipped and the communication with David was quick and easy. We can really recommend it!

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.

Very great stay. Very clean apartment

This apartment was amazing for our quick trip to Amsterdam. The location is perfect—right on one of the main canals and walkable to everything. Helena was such a gracious host and gave us some great recs for vintage shopping, drinks, and eats. The space was well appointed and she was so flexible with our arrival and departure times. I would 100% recommend this place and would stay here again on a future visit.

The Condominium is in a nice quiet part of Amsterdam, but still easy to get to city centre. Was very clean and comfortable.

Wle spent 4 nights in very clean, cozy apartment, in peaceful canal area. Away from all the noise and traffic but still very walkable. good restaurants nearby. Our host was very friendly and responsive. Great communication. Big bed very comfortable too. Would definitely recommend!

This place was wonderful! It was just as described. We enjoyed listening to the birds (wild parakeets and others) as we sat on the balcony in the mornings. The stairs are steep and narrow but that is just part of being in Amsterdam. One thing to note, there are 2 showers, 2 sinks, but only 1 toilet. It didn’t cause any problem for me, but those staying in the first floor bedroom will have to climb up stairs in the middle of the night. Overall, I highly recommend!

Henri our stay was very nice and the personal touch like ,fruit,beard,eggs etc in the fridge and the other personal touches in the flat made us very welcome,if we come to Amsterdam again i would definitely stay there,it was excellent.thankyou mel & henri for allowing us to share your home with us . Martin&jill Also it was in a great location for walking round the city and very close to the train station

Our stay with MorningStar in Amsterdam was absolutely exceptional. The home was pristine, beautifully designed, and full of luxurious touches that made our three-night stay unforgettable. We arrived to find thoughtful treats like fresh fruit and chocolate waiting for us—such a warm welcome! The location was perfect: central, quiet, and incredibly walkable, which made it easy for our family of four to explore the city. Every detail exceeded our expectations. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again—highly recommend!

Tess’s place is one of the best Airbnb’s we have stayed in. Tess met us for check in to show us the beautiful accommodations. She provided local recommendations. What I appreciated the most was the extra touches she put into making the place feel special. There were live flowers in vases, a bottle of wine, waffles, and coffee ready for us. I found everything to be just perfect.

We really like the accommodation for its location in relation to the country's landmarks. The hosts always very friendly and super quick to respond to messages. Although the room is inside their house we never lacked privacy and we had everything we needed inside the room :)
