We spent the latter half of our honeymoon in Amsterdam and stayed on Flip and Marjan’s beautiful boat. It was easily the most comfortable stay on our entire trip and Flip made us feel right at home immediately. The space is small by some standards, but it is so cozy we actually had trouble motivating ourselves to go explore every day. It would have been so easy to stay in bed and stare at the marina. Absolutely gorgeous.
Flip delivered us breakfast every morning in a picnic basket, starting every morning off with an incredibly generous and delicious meal, and he was consistently warm and friendly toward us, making himself available while also respecting our privacy.
If you are worried about the idea of a “shared” boat house, I can assure you you’ll completely forget the spaces are attached. It was actually quieter and more private than our own apartment in NYC, as well as clean and stocked with amenities. This was easily one of my most favorite AirBnB experiences. On our next trip to Amsterdam we will definitely be staying with Flip again.
