The Zuiderzeelaan Residence
Perks for the Parents
This spacious family home, 15 minutes by car from the heart of Amsterdam, is full of delights for the kids and has a large back garden and a park at the end of the street. Well suited for families, it has a big comfortable couch in the living room, and an open kitchen with lots of facilities to make a great family dinner. There are 2 Stokke high chairs for kids. The sunny garden borders on a small canal, where kids can swim in the summer. Parents can lounge beside it too; and there is a protective fence for non-swimmers. It is a 15-minute car journey to Amsterdam (or take the bus if you prefer, taking 10 minutes) and there are shops within walking distance, including 2 supermarkets, a pharmacy, a very good bakery, a Friday market, and an ice cream parlor.
Why Kids Love it
The house is especially suited for small children, with all facilities and amenities for children under 4, from crib to stroller, high chairs and lots of toys and books. The house is also suitable for families with older children, with a swing in the garden, and a trampoline. Kids love the water table in the summer. There a lots of other children to play with in the neighborhood. There is an indoor playground nearby and the Twiske natural park is at the end of the street, with beaches, large playgrounds, and a children’s farm. Guests can borrow a walking toddler bike and a children's bike with training wheels. While there is no TV, there is a projector plus Netflix account, so you can watch movies together when the kids are in bed, or have a family movie night.
Things to Know
Minimum stay: 2 nights. The house is over 3 floors, and has stair gates at the bottom and top. Small kids cannot come near the canal, which is fenced. There is a driveway with room for 1 car, and there is free parking in the street. Car rental is useful for this location but not essential. The village is highly walkable and there are good public transportation links to Amsterdam and beyond. On request the hosts can ask their babysitter to come over if you'd like a night without kids. The area is 20 minutes by car from Amsterdam Schiphol Airport. NOTE: The host is flexible would consider bookings on a case by case basis.

Style Notes
Modern Dutch design. Bright and light, this house was newly built in 2015, in the traditional 'Zaanse' style, giving it a touch of historic style in its dark green wooden house front. It has a clean and white modern Dutch style throughout, with warm and wood details. Soft fabrics on the chairs and couch make you feel comfortable and at home. We love the garden terrace, the fun decals on the kids bedroom walls, and the great location for a city stay with plenty of space to play, run and swim.
