Houseboat vacation rentals in Europe

Really unique and fun stay with my two kids aged 6 and 9. Might be a bit stressful with younger kids as way into boat is fine but prob not totally safe for really little ones. Boat bigger than pics look, and has really week equipped kitchen, living room etc. highly recommended

We spent a few very nice days on Tierry and Piere's enchanting houseboat and were pleasantly looked at to sleep. Great starting point for a variety of things to do, highly recommend it.

We had a lovely time on Peter's houseboat. The location is great. Only a 15 minute walk to the station and the center yet incredibly peaceful. Everything we needed was available and we enjoyed the first rays of the spring sun on the dock in front of the houseboat. The daily visit from a group of geese was quite the highlight for our little boy. Peter welcomed us when we first arrived and was very accommodating and responsive to our questions. We explored the corners of Utrecht and beyond with the bike and can only recommend this lovely city. So many beautiful historic buildings, lovely canals and quaint little cafes and shops. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to others.

Our family loved our stay on Tante Piet in Amsterdam! It was a great way to stay in Amsterdam like a local. The boat was comfortable for two adults and two children (our kids are 12 and 8 and were very comfortable). It was great to have a nice outdoor seating area to spend evenings and one night we used the grill to make dinner. The beds were comfortable for sleeping and the bathrooms were nice. If anyone is worried about feeling movement while on the water, worry not. You don't feel it at all. Siet (+ hubby Frank) is an amazing host. She was friendly with our kids and had great recos on things to do and restaurants to eat at. There were some minor issues – such as the internet going out one day and a power outage another day. But Siet proactively addressed these issues immediately with us and got them corrected as soon as possible ... sometimes before we even realized there was an issue, haha! Staying in this house boat made for a memorable part of our trip to a great city.

Eva’s house boat was the perfect place to stay with my mom and sister for a girls trip! The location was fantastic, in the heart of the city, but the area was very quiet. There were a couple of spiders around the house, but nothing too crazy. We would have definitely loved some curtains in the main space, as there was nowhere to change before/ after the shower. Overall, would stay again!!

Great stay at Marie Louise's! A beautiful person and an incredibly cute house on the water with everything you need next to Amsterdam accessible in 15 minutes by car (we opted for a RAI europaplein car park and we took the metro to the center of Amsterdam) unfortunately the P+R were very often inaccessible so we had to pay 35€the day of parking + the metro trips but we were waiting.. I hope to be back someday!

Beautiful houseboat in a great location and easy access to all of Amsterdam. The houseboat was warm and cosy and perfect for our short stay. Hanco is a great host

We had a lovely weekend in Hamburg on the beautiful houseboat of Karsten and Harald! :) It was a whole new experience and we enjoyed it very much. There was everything you needed and we would like to come back. Regards

a lovely place with beautiful weather..

Unique location for the area. Wonderful landscape within walking distance of comforts. The facilities are on the water but you almost don't notice how well they are anchored. Peace and quiet. Comfortable bed and simple but good breakfast. Courteous, polite, and accurate host. Experience to do again!

We had such a beautiful weekend at Alenkas Houseboot. The communication was perfectly fine and alenka even prepared a surprise for my dad’s birthday. We will come back for sure! Thank you :)

We had a wonderful 4 night stay on Water Lodge. A fabulous base for exploring the Isle of Wight. We all slept amazingly well and had everything we needed for a very comfortable stay for a family of four. Thank you Yarmouth Harbour!

We had a blast staying there, the place was clean with everything we need, great location next to a supermarket and some shops. Would definitely visit again. Thank you.

Very responsive and considerate. I highly recommend this place and host. The boat is absolutely incredible. Steph was extremely helpful before check in and everything about it was spot on. Will look to stay again in the near future thank you.

Wow! I booked Anne and Peter's place for my work colleagues, they loved it! It would make a perfectly weekend getaway. The guys said they would both bring their families back, superb!

This place has been the best place I’ve ever stayed at (and I travel a lot for work)! If I could have stayed longer I would, as someone who lives a very busy life this place is where it’s at for downtime and RnR. I’ve never heard silence so loud. The place is in immaculate condition, the windows from the bedroom offer a serene backdrop and all the kitchen and bathroom amenities provide a comfortable stay. Royal Albert Dock is also within walking distance for unique shops and gifts, and plentiful options for dining. We ate dinner at Maray and would highly recommend too.

Very close to Nantes train station, the Bâteu is easy to access on foot. Despite being in the city center, the place is quite quiet in the evenings, you don't hear much noise. We stayed there for two nights with a child and was going very well.

Delightful stay in this lovely barge; very easy to get to, close to the action but also quiet enough; really enjoyed sitting on deck watching the sunset and the bats flitting about. Comfortable living quarters, and a responsive and helpful host.

Great little place. Beautiful view of the marina. Lovely area. Great for taking the dog for a walk. We hired a boat for the day which was around a 30 second walk from the property. Peppery cosy and warm. Definitely recommend and we will stay again

Thank you!! Awesome place!! Great 🫶🏼🫶🏼 experience, all very comfortable

We had a lovely few days at the boat house and summer house. It had everything we needed for four adults and two dogs and was perfect to relax in and while away the time with the ebb and flow of the tides. David provided some extra little touches, for instance a coffee, tea milk and biscuits to help us settle in on arrival and lots of helpful links to places to see and local restaurants. There was good facilities in the boat house including comfy chairs on the decking. The summer house was more basic with a kitchenette which could have done with a little fridge but was perfectly adequate for our needs.

Great place to stay, not too far from transport links and very easy to get to. Everything was clean and Karin qas a great host. Area is beautiful and wonderfully peaceful, its also located not too far from the olympic hotel and stadium which makes for an easy landmark to ask for directions to if you get a little lost.

Lovely place, very smart and comfortable Great to wake up to the gentle sound of water and birds and the very gentle movement of the houseboat.

The loveliest little cabin! Stayed here over my birthday and Patrick had set up the cutest balloon display when we arrived. Made my birthday that extra special. The location is amazing, surrounded by nature and wildlife and the cabin itself was stunning. Bed was so comfy and the dvd’s were fun to pick from :) would definitely recommend.
