Maybe not exactly what you are looking for but at least a place to rest your weary head on top of the water.

Try the website www.vrbo.com (Vacation Rentals by Owner). I haven't looked at what's available in Amsterdam, but in there are indeed a few houseboats to rent in Paris.

You might also check Craigslist from time to time.

Best of luck -- Amsterdam is charming and seeing it from the canal perspective is a must!!
