11 Holiday apartments & homes for a holiday with pool in Waterland

We generally felt very comfortable in the house. It was spacious and functionally furnished. A major drawback was the refrigerator, which was very small for a house for 5 people and did not cool properly. We mentioned this 3 times at the reception, and then they just adjusted the dial and that was it. This was frustrating because some food went bad quickly. Drinks were still not frozen in the freezer after 4-5 hours. In previous reviews, the beds were criticized; I can understand this criticism, they are super soft and rather back-unfriendly. After two weeks, you definitely looked forward to your bed again, especially since the double bed was just two combined single beds that constantly separated, despite double sheets… we had a cross wing, so we had skylights on the upper floor, which was great for ventilation. Unfortunately, there were no fly screens installed (understandable, although not impossible with slanted windows), but the mosquitoes bit our children a lot. There is simply a lot of water around the houses, so there were countless mosquitoes. That would be my third point of criticism, but the issue with the refrigerator is the biggest. Noise insulation was also mentioned in reviews, I can understand that, but we actually had luck. I really enjoyed the vacation and found it totally great what you could do. Renting bikes (for a fee), using the pool (for free), but also trips to Amsterdam, Marken, Edam, Volendam, which is really a cute town, and the swimming pools around are great too. The North Sea is reachable by car, and we were at the amusement park, which was really a lot of fun. So we were never bored. And we weren't home much either. Even on days when nothing was planned, we sometimes walked to the promenade, or to the nearby cheese factory, or went to the small bathing area that is within walking distance. The possibilities are very diverse. That was totally awesome.

We really enjoyed it here! The decorations were stylish, and the location near the lake was stunning. We even took a trip to A'DAM Lookout, which was just a short drive from here. I highly recommend it for families!

We had a fantastic stay in the holiday home! The location by the Markermeer was perfect for our family vacation. The children loved the space in the villa and the outdoor area. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony with our morning coffee and soaking in the peaceful atmosphere.
