Lovely home in Monnickendam
Just a short bus ride to Amsterdam, this apartment was great. It's right on a beautiful canal with restaurants and shops right outside the door. It had everything we needed for a great stay. The owner and their "concierge" were easy to work and communicate with. Hopefully, we can make it back to The Dutch Buoy some day.

Absolutely Magical
So much better than Amsterdam. A beautiful fishing village just a bus ride away from Amsterdam. We loved it. The location on the canal was incredible. The house inside was top notch. We had everything we needed and communication with Rein and Ben was excellent. If we ever return to the Netherlands we will definitely stay here again.

Lovely home in a quaint location.
We had an excellent stay at the Dutch Buoy! It was so nice to come back to Monickendam after all the activity in the city of Amsterdam. We felt very safe, the home is very cozy and comfortable. We really enjoyed the restaurants in town, the food and service is so much better than you can get in a touristy area.. We had no problem with riding the metro and bus. Thank you to both Ben and Reim for all of the guidance.

sweet fishing village
The Dutch Buoy provided plenty of room for our group of four adults. The view over the canal was fabulous. The village of Monnickendam was just what we were looking for. We used public transportation for a day in Amsterdam, and parked our rental car for free outside our VRBO. Day trips from there were easy. Rein and Ben were both very attentive--without being intrusive!

The Dutch Buoy was everything we hoped for and more!
Comfortable, peaceful and relaxing, which helped us to focus on our business needs as well as enjoy some downtime. Thank you to Rein for being so kind and informative during the booking process leading up to our stay. A big thank you to Ben for going out of his way to ensure we had everything we needed and were comfortable, as well as accommodating our very early check-out on a Sunday morning - you are a star! :) We will certainly be back and highly recommend the Dutch Buoy!

Beautiful house in lovely and quiet village
Our family very much enjoyed the 4 nights we stayed at The Dutch Buoy. The house was as advertised - space most suitable for 6 people with 3 double beds and 2 full bathrooms. Overall very comfortable and well-appointed. Parking was very easy - either in front of the home or just around the corner. The village itself is quiet and humble, with several restaurants and shops. Amsterdam is easily accessible either by bus or car - quite honestly, after spending the day in the big city, it was a relief to return to the small town for a quiet evening. Many thanks to Rein for the arrangements and to Ben for the local hospitality.

Delightful stay at The Dutch Buoy, Monnickendam
There are numerous positive aspects of the Dutch Buoy property, but I'll only mention the most notable ones. Firstly, Ben's greeting at the property was very welcoming. Throughout our stay, Ben was accommodating. The Jacuzzi is unique because it is self-drying and has no mold problems. The living room was inviting, and take advantage of the beautiful sunset view. The canal was full of sailboats during our stay, and it was quite the adventure to be there during their Zuiderzee Battle against the Spaniards, which happened in 1573, celebration. The locals all dressed up in period clothing. The beds were very comfortable, and the bathrooms were very nicely equipped. Of course, the bathrobes topped off the entire experience.
