Municipality of Gooise Meren beach rentals

The Coaster Mado will be a highlight of our European Adventure. The accommodation was perfect for 4 of us (2 adults with 2 children). The bed in the bedroom was comfortable and so was the sofa bed. The kitchen and bathroom were spotless! We had amazing weather so spent a lot of time on the boat deck and swam with the locals each day in the swimming area which is right next to the boat. The accommodation was well located to catch public transport into the centre each day and lovely and quiet to come back to. We went to the supermarket (which was very close) to get some supplies. I would absolutely recommend staying here.

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...

Very comfortable stay on a modern house boat- highly recommended. The rooms are cosy and we had all we needed with some lovely personal touches. There was even an Christmas tree for us. Edwin was a great host and very considerate with good communication. The location is good and the free ferry from the Central Station works really well- we never waited more than a minute or two.

We stayed here for 2 nights and it was beautiful. The apartment was immaculately clean and like new. The main bed was comfy and the sofa bed in the lounge was a large single bed with a pull out second single trundle bed which fit our teenagers well. The communication with the manager was great and they were super responsive and helpful. There’s a cooktop and dishwasher (but no oven). Fly screens on all windows The village itself is beautiful and there’s a decent size supermarket a 10 min walk away. We initially caught the train to Amsterdam, then the metro to Amsterdam Nord, then a bus to Monnickendam. Be aware that the buses to Monnickendam are run by a different company (EBS) than are covered by the usual Amsterdam travel card which is for travel on GVB buses/metro/trams. We’d presumed we’d be needing the metro whilst we were there and paid for a 2 day card, but it was a waste because we only took one metro initially then discovered there was an EBS bus directly to/ from Monnickendam to Amsterdam Central. We also went to Volendam and rented bikes and followed a proposed bike route as advised by “rent & event” where we saw beautiful farmland, a cheese making demo and cows being milked, cheese tasting, a clog shop and a windmill. We then came back to the Volendam village and had great takeaway fish and chips at “De Lunch” and amazing waffles and strop waffle at “woltje’s backerij” Only negatives: no spare blankets - was cold. Was loud music on Saturday night.

The location of the bnb is perfect, only 15 mins walk from the nearest train station. The apartment is clean and the host gets it clean once a week during your stay. Would highly recommend this place for your visit to NL
