Though small, with a population numbering less than 500 inhabitants, the town of Bergen Aan Zee on the North Sea coast of Holland is far from insignificant. Tourists pour into the town all year round due in no small part to the artistic history of the town, which has provided a home and an inspiration to Dutch painters such as Charley Toorop. The fabulous natural views contribute to this history and, if you visit in October, you will have the chance to experience the art festival known as Kunst10Dagen (or “Ten Days of Art”). You will also have the chance to experience local food at eateries such as the stylish Bergen Binnen, and to stay at one these classic Dutch Airbnb vacation rentals.
We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) Superhost status, recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and amenities. The image galleries get refreshed with the latest updates regularly. They were last updated on April 05, 2024.
1. Holiday home in Egmond aan Zee (from USD 74)

As a bonus, the renter of this accommodation also has access to a beach cabin–including a sun bed and parasol–on the nearby beach at Egmond.

8. Unique atelier in Bergen (from USD 162)
Given Bergen’s reputation for art, it is appropriate that people of an artistic tendency will fancy visiting, and where better for them to stay than in the former workshop of an artist? In this case, the modernist painter Gerrit van Blaaderen (1873-1935), whose former atelier has been renovated into a cosy house which fills with light–something that would certainly have pleased the artist. In the present, it has become a simple, comfortable home with modern conveniences such as a dishwasher, flatscreen TV, and a cosy outside seating area.
There is parking space for two cars, and the town of Bergen is close by, as are the owners who live in a separate property on the grounds.
