A luxury Amsterdam houseboat for rent ("Amsterdam woonboot te huur") in central Amsterdam

If you're looking for an Amsterdam houseboat for rent, you'll want to live in the center of the action - not waiting around for a bus or taxi to get you back to your Amsterdam accommodations.

One of our Amsterdam houseboats for rent is "The Astarte Temple" on Prinsengracht Canal - in the heart of Amsterdam's picturesque, popular Jordaan Quarter. This Amsterdam vacation rental houseboat is opposite bustling Noorderkerk Marketplace, a short stroll to Amsterdam's best stores, restaurants, cafes, night-clubs, galleries. But once you've boarded your Amsterdam vacation rental you are floating peacefully in your own private paradise.

Outside the Amsterdam houseboat, "The Astarte Temple", there's a small entrance garden, with tall bamboos.

 

 

The Rooftop Garden, including Living Astarte Sofa. As you sink into the soft, sweet smelling grass, childhood grass smell memories return, sinking into a deep sound happy sleep......

 

Looking North towards the old Brouwersgracht Bridge over which weekend crowds stream to the Noorderkerk Market. The Amsterdam travel scene par excellence. (Remember to feed the swans and the crane who visit every day.)

Owning or renting a Houseboat in Amsterdam - an interesting Amsterdam lodging Option

The houseboat overall is 15 x 5 meters. Inside is a studio layout suitable for 2 people, with large shower bathroom, walk-in closet, utility room. The bed is high so that people sitting on it can enjoy views of the Prinsengracht Canal through 5 windows. Watch the old Dutch boats cruise by, the people on Brouwersgracht Bridge heading to the Marketplace, the beautiful old buildings and cafes, the Amsterdam hotels  - and all of this reflected in Prinsengracht, Princes' Canal. Near the bed a romantic fireplace burns. Cable TV, Internet connection, washer-dryer, microwave-oven, an oversupply of radiators will keep you WARM all winter.  

We've found living in a houseboat in the center of this beautiful and cultured city is lots of fun. If you 're thinking about Amsterdam houseboat accommodations, you might enjoy checking out this lovely option.

"The Astarte Temple" houseboat  is dedicated to Astarte,  the 3,000 year old  Phoenician goddess of Love, Fertility, and the Night.     

 

 

"The Astarte Temple" is moored south of the Brouwersgracht Bridge, near the popular Noorderkerk Marketplace.

We'd like to rent out our boats to one or two dependable type people for long term rental periods only - half a year or more.
