“Exchanging houses with Rachel and her family was an amazing experience. Rachel's house is absolutely beautiful and we couldn't have asked for a better city. Haarlem was so lovely that we never even made it to Amsterdam! Long walk's thru the city, a bike ride to the beach and thru the National Park, renting a boat on the canals and best of all was the face of my son when he saw that Rachel's son had a Beyblade arena! Let's just say, it was difficult to get the kids out of the house with so much to do in the house :-) Rachel and her family were lovely and took great care of our four rabbits. They left the house in perfect condition. It has been a while since we have swapped houses with a family and I could not have asked for a better family to swap with! ”

About our home
Our wonderful home has the best of both worlds! It has lots of space, it's located in the city center of Haarlem, a vibrant city near Amsterdam, 2 minutes’ walk from the train station that takes you to the center of Amsterdam in 15 minutes and drops you at the beach in 10 minutes.
We rebuilt our wonderful home completely in 2017. We have a state of the art open kitchen, a lovely sunny garden, 5 spacious bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a quiet study and a loft-like attic.
With an abundance of historical sights, cultural attractions and hidden gems crammed into a relatively small city, Haarlem truly is a sightseers’ paradise. With its ancient buildings, cobbled streets and winding waterways, the medieval city of Haarlem is one of the most photogenic destinations in the Netherlands.
Haarlem has been voted as the Netherlands’ best shopping destination and a quick saunter around the boutique-lined streets will reveal exactly why. With everything from achingly cool concept stores to traditional markets and big brands to independent labels, as well as charming antique and curiosity shops around every corner. With the Nord sea also easily reachable by bike, the seaside is just a short trip outside of Haarlem and makes for an enjoyable cycle through kilometers of wild dunes. In the summer months the beach clubs of Zandvoort and Bloemendaal throb with activity, whilst the winter months offer a serene escape and lovely walking routes.
