Great location with easy access into Amsterdam City Centre by bus or Uber. Ben the house manager very helpful; and accessible. The house was well stocked, very clean, great layout. The nearby dining was great! My only negative are the bath towels. They were too small. For an American, the bath towel was the size of a large hand towel.

We spend a week in this very charming town. The house has the best location and getting into downtown Amsterdam is a breeze on the bus. Across the house are wonderful restaurants. You will either love or hate the quarterly bell chimes from the beautiful bell tower across the water :)

This was such an excellent stay! My kids are all talking about how this was one of the mid favorite stays. The house was beautiful and full of art but comfortable for our family of 5 (including young children). It was close to shops, restaurants, and a short walk to the bus to take you to Amsterdam or near towns. Ben the property manager is friendly and helpful. I cannot recommend this property enough.

We were looking to stay in a destination that was a more authentic immersion into Dutch culture. This home is set overlooking a canal with several restaurants within your line of sight from the front step. The property is on the second and third floor it has 2 fairly steep staircases to navigate — this should be considered if anyone in a travel party has mobility issues (not an issue for us). You can open the Juliet balcony doors on both floors to absorb the sites and sounds of the town.

Beautiful house in a picturesque village

The house was as described, well equipped, with lots of space to relax. Convenient for travel to Amsterdam and nearby towns. Plenty of restaurants in walking distance, and a bakery a short walk away. Everyone had a lovely vacation.

Great communication and check-in with Ben. Very thorough. You will not find a better view, and ample parking for free. Multiple restaurants walking distance and a grocery store near by. Bathrooms were great! Clean safe area that I would stay in if I was going to be anywhere near the area.

Lovely home in Monnickendam

Just a short bus ride to Amsterdam, this apartment was great. It's right on a beautiful canal with restaurants and shops right outside the door. It had everything we needed for a great stay. The owner and their "concierge" were easy to work and communicate with. Hopefully, we can make it back to The Dutch Buoy some day.

Perfect location in a lovely town on the water

Our family of 5 loved the location. We visited many of the nearby towns (loved Marken!) and Amsterdam of course. Convenient to walk to buses or uber around. Property is on the water with a lovely view. We naively kept all the windows open for the view and breeze so got a few spider/bug bites (lesson learned!), but otherwise we were happy. Recommend.

Christmas, New Year 2019/20

We had an excellent stay in Monnickendam. Apart from being very attractive, it is quite a compact place with all the facilities close by. Regular buses to Amsterdam and further north to Edam and Volendam. Excellent place for a get away...

The most beautiful place to rest and relax

We loved our stay. Netty was an added bonus. She was a doll and made sure we were well taken care of. The house is on the water, great restaurants near by. Very easy access to bus then train to Amsterdam. All of us loved it here. So clean, comfortable and easy. Thank you. I would stay here again and again.

A wonderful two-storey apartment with stunning views. Monnickendam is a beautiful small town, and perfectly located for day trips in Amsterdam or North Holland. Both the local concierge and the property owner could not have been more helpful, both in advance of our stay, and while we were there.

Absolutely Magical

So much better than Amsterdam. A beautiful fishing village just a bus ride away from Amsterdam. We loved it. The location on the canal was incredible. The house inside was top notch. We had everything we needed and communication with Rein and Ben was excellent. If we ever return to the Netherlands we will definitely stay here again.

Beautiful home in Monnickendam

I cannot say enough great things about this property! It is a very well maintained and equipped home. Communication with both the owner and the manager, Ben were seamless. Location was phenomenal, with shops and quality restaurants all within a short walk. The location directly on a canal added to the overall beauty of the home. Amsterdam was less than a 30 minute walk/bus ride away. I highly recommend this property for anyone looking for a quiet, comfortable home in the northern Netherlands.

We arrived on a rainy afternoon - and indeed it would rain for the whole trip. The trip was wonderful despite the precipitation, and the Dutch Buoy was a big part of that. Ben, the property manager, welcomed us warmly and with humor. He showed us the entire property and made sure we knew how to use everything. The house was large and comfortable and very clean. The kitchen had all of the tools we needed. The town is quaint and full of restaurants and charm and friendly people. Getting to Amsterdam was quick and easy on one of two bus routes. Thank you to our hosts for a wonderful stay.

Lovely home in a quaint location.

We had an excellent stay at the Dutch Buoy! It was so nice to come back to Monickendam after all the activity in the city of Amsterdam. We felt very safe, the home is very cozy and comfortable. We really enjoyed the restaurants in town, the food and service is so much better than you can get in a touristy area.. We had no problem with riding the metro and bus. Thank you to both Ben and Reim for all of the guidance.

sweet fishing village

The Dutch Buoy provided plenty of room for our group of four adults. The view over the canal was fabulous. The village of Monnickendam was just what we were looking for. We used public transportation for a day in Amsterdam, and parked our rental car for free outside our VRBO. Day trips from there were easy. Rein and Ben were both very attentive--without being intrusive!
