Family-friendly holiday rentals in Galiano Island

We had a lovely last minute get away to Om Sweet Om. Really comfy bed with hotel style linens, fab hot tub and secluded space. Fan was really great addition as warm when we stayed. Sharon was welcoming over messages and lots of helpful tips for hikes and restaurants in the area!

The cabin has stunning views and makes you feel like you’re up in the tree canopy. There are hammocks for the deck (which my kids loved). There is a playground within a 5 minute walk, a horse shoes game, mini putting green, baseball court, and Japanese garden. This was a huge bonus for us.

Caroline’s home is clean and comfortable and has stunning views. The upper deck was a wonderful place to relax and converse with friends! Caroline is a wonderful host. She provided excellent suggestions to make our stay even more enjoyable than originally planned. She is responsive and kind! I highly recommend Caroline’s home!

Sky House exceeded our expectations in every way! Stunning, private location with incredible views of the water and forest. The house provided a lot of sleeping options and we enjoyed the pool table and board games. Close to hikes and trails and just a 45-minute drive from Victoria. A truly ideal, secluded vacation getaway in a gorgeous area of Vancouver Island.

Wow, what an incredible property!! We had a wonderful stay and very much enjoyed the well-stocked kitchen, expansive deck, beautiful grounds, and private beach. It was such a peaceful place to spend a few days, and we hope to return. We were three families with three small children, and it was a perfect place for them to run around. Thank you Don and Kathy for opening your home up to us.

Beautiful, well-equipped apartment with a wonderful view in a quiet and peaceful location.

This was such a perfect place to stay, steps from the beach, it was so peaceful, clean and well stocked with everything you need. Tracey was so helpful, she even let us know the tide schedule! It was so handy having laundry and the beds were super comfy. Would definitely stay here again, thanks Tracey!

Had the best Mother’s Day weekend retreat with my family at Todd and Lori’s beautiful house. We had so much fun through the weekend because there was so many things to do close by! Would definitely come back here again, thank you Todd and Lori for being so accommodating and welcoming throughout our stay :)

Fantastic little cottage with a beautiful outdoors area and a fountain to watch the local birds. The location is so central to the village, but the cottage is so peaceful. Loved it!

Faith and David were very hospitable hosts. Their farm is very pleasant and peaceful. The quiet of the surroundings, the diverse bird species and the fresh eggs and vegetables really made the stay very memorable. I enjoyed speaking with these wonderful hosts and I will be rebooking in the future!

We had such a great stay at Niki and Neal's cottage. Everything was as described, if not better! We couldn't have been happier with the location and set-up in the cottage. We enjoyed friendly interactions with Niki and Neal + equally pets, appreciated some very tasty homemade treats and learned about the local swimming lake that was close by. I would have been very happy to stay in Fulford Harbor for much longer, soaking up the local flavor / nature / hiking / swimming that is all close enough to not even need a car (although we did have and use one).

We really enjoyed our time at Trish’s place! It was very clean, had a beautiful view, and all the animals were so adorable. Trish and Nick were also wonderful hosts. I would highly recommend!

Fantastic stay and delivered the solitude in nature that I was looking for. It was a great way to experience the San Juans. The view was stunning, the access to the beach was stellar, and one of the best ways to spend a few days relaxing. The loaner vehicle was perfect to get us from dock to house. Reminder, for anyone looking to book this airBNB, please be mindful of what you pack and bring as there is no store to quickly run to if you forgot something. Also, you need to pack out your recyclables & non-compostables. Overall, would stay again and have already recommended it to others as an Eco-friendly vacation destination.

Kevan's home is thoughtfully decorated, cozy and comfortable. There is lots of seating, indoors and out making it a great place for our family to hang out together. The kitchen is fully equipped, and all appliances function well. The beds are comfortable and everyone slept well. The standout is the spectacular garden. A true oasis. We hope to have the opportunity to stay again. Lisa

We had a wonderful 5-night stay at Poirier Cove. The location is magnificent, right on the seafront. We saw eagles, seals, lots of small birds - even a hummingbird. There are lots of lovely provincial parks nearby with great walks. We particularly enjoyed walking on the Galloping Goose trail to the Todd Creek trestle bridge. Corinne was very helpful and friendly. The cottage was comfortable with huge windows looking over the sea to snow-capped mountains in the USA.

Chantal and Alex were very responsive, and helpful. One of the best places I’ve stayed! We had a wonderful time, i would 100% recommend this place. The area was quiet, private and very cozy.

We had a wonderful stay. Billie was friendly and approachable, and so wonderful. We enjoy the clean and comfortable place, and swimming pool. The place was very close from the main shopping/restaurants area and it made our stay very enjoyable. Thank you for everything Billie!

we had stayed in the same building last year in our first trip to Vancouver and found the location to be pretty ideal. There is a SkyTrain station that literally within steps, it is across the cul-de-sac from one of the best Asian markets I've ever been to (T&T Supermarket) and the building has included parking as well as a very nice pool and gym included with the stay. The only downside is absolutely no fault of the host at all, but there are a lot of homeless and fentanyl addicts milling about just outside in the plaza. I feel bad for them more than anything, and they were not threatening or bothering anyone, a couple were even quite nice, it's just sad to see.

Cory is a wonderful host. His place and his hospitality were among the best we’ve encountered in Vancouver. Instructions were very clear for checkin making the experience easy. Cory was so generous with his space allowing us to feel very much at home. We’d love to return to stay at Cory’s listing in the future!

We had a great stay! Grandkids swam in the pool most every evening, and it was great to have the beach so close! Accommodations were very clean, comfortable beds, and the kitchen was well stocked with utensils needed for preparing meals and grilling. The grands loved discovering the box of toys too!

This is a great place to stay to be next to downtown Victoria. It’s as advertised in the listing’s description and photos. There’s plenty of room for a couple and everything is in good condition. Washroom facilities, washer/dryer units, and wifi all worked well. We did not use any of the cooking appliances. The location is walkable to plenty of restaurants/bars in the area. We were comfortable and felt safe walking around at night; we did not have any issues with noise. Agata is a great host! Her instructions made check-in and check-out super easy. She responded within minutes anytime I messaged her. Overall, I would highly recommend this place, especially for couples, if you want to be next to downtown Victoria.

Place was gorgeous, Iris was a sweet and responsive host. We will be back again 100%

Our family of 5 plus our dog enjoyed our stay at Oceanside Escapes. Johanna and Julie were readily available to answer any questions that we had before and during our stay. The cabin was well-supplied and had a binder listing many local recommendations. It was a short walk to Rathtrevor Beach which we all enjoyed, particularly our dog. All essential amenities and many attractions were nearby. The central air conditioner was especially helpful in keeping the whole cabin cool during the hotter days. We will be back.

Sally and Dale have such a BEAUTIFUL property - it was the perfect location for a girls’ bachelorette weekend. They were also such kind and responsive hosts, quick to respond to anything we needed, we truly felt right at home.
