The Dutch Buoy

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.

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.

The apartment and village were absolutely charming! Such a fun place to explore!! The check in was great and they were great to work with!

What a beautiful home in a charming, friendly neighborhood of Monnickendam.
