Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Orcas Island

Carol once again showed why she is the host we compare ALL others to. Her attention to detail and comfort for all her guests keeps us coming back time and again. Thank you, Carol, for always ensuring we have the most wonderful experience each and every time we are there! You are by far and away the best host out there! Brian and Kimberly Charest

We enjoyed our stay in this quaint and historical cottage! Loved the interior, with lots of places where the original building is seen unperturbed, and the decorations are creative and fit in so well with the building! It’s cozy, and the bathroom/shower set up is a bit funky, but the charm and location were absolutely worth the cost and then some. It’s right in the middle of the village, so shops and restaurants are super accessible and walkable. Wonderful spot!

A spectacular place to spend time away. Great for kayaking and gazing at a remarkable view.

We decided to splurge on an extra nice Airbnb for a local family getaway and staying in Marie’s place was a wonderful treat. Everything is so nicely arranged and Marie is a very friendly and helpful host! I really couldn’t recommend this place any higher! It’s a short drive to Birch Bay restaurants and shops, but honestly the place is so nice you won’t want to leave! The huge windows and deck let you enjoy the beauty of the water throughout your stay whether you’re in the hot tub, enjoying the fire pit or sitting inside watching a video on the big screen. The huge shower was a special treat too! :) Thank you, Marie, for sharing your wonderful home with us!

We had our second family reunion with all the kids coming home from college. We stayed at Anika’s wonderful home on Orcas Island and couldn’t be happier with the house, Anika’s attention to detail, cleanliness and Anika’s excellent and prompt communication. This house has a magic that is relaxing, fun, comfortable and reliable. We will be back in August 2025 for a week!

A beautiful cottage by the sea, with great styling and all the amenities you could ask for, all cleverly hidden away. We opened the door to a beautiful living room, perfect for late night movies, a bottle of wine in the kitchen with any appliance we needed, a spacious shower, and a bedroom with a view right into the water. The hot tub and fireplace were right outside, and the sound of the ocean crashing while relaxing couldn’t be beat. Even though we live just a few minutes up the road, we would consider doing another visit just because of how beautiful the place was and how amazing they were to work with!

We had a wonderful stay and enjoyed every minute. The place was comfortable and exactly like the pictures. We stayed with two young kids who slept on the sofa bed. They had a great night.

House was great! Well stocked kitchen, very clean and comfortable, and the view was amazing!

I had a wonderful stay here. Ginny and Gary were so warm and welcoming, they checked in to see if I needed anything and made sure I felt completely at home. After long days of climbing, it was the perfect place to come back to just as described, if not even better! The surroundings are stunning, and the place has absolutely everything you could want. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a cozy, comfortable, and well-equipped home base. I will definitely be back!

Linda and Jay's place was outstanding! The special touches and attention to detail made us feel right at home. It's obvious that Linda and Jay put alot of care into making their place as comfortable and inviting as possible for their guest! The gardens are absolutely beautiful! The apartment is pristine and super nice!! Such a beautiful place all around! Enjoyed our stay very much!! Loved the homemade bread! Delicious! We recommend staying here one hundred percent!!

Vicki is the consummate host and truly an ambassador for Orcas Island. She makes sure that you have the best guest experience but also have your privacy. She gives excellent recommendations for excursions and restaurants. Robin Song Studio has breathtaking views of the water and is nestled in the forest. It is such a cozy place. We had such as peaceful and relaxing stay. Thank you, Vicki!

This waterfront inner bay location is an ever changing view of tidal events, birds, and a beautiful garden. Every hour of the day had something different to observe and enjoy. Faces east for moonrise and sunrise views. A lovely setting, kind hosts, and close enough to Edison for dining, art galleries, and a small village stroll. Plus the king bed was incredibly comfortable so sleep was a dream. Recommend adding a visit to Bow Sanctuary sauna and sessions to add a wellness experience.

Cozy, peaceful place perfect for couples looking to explore victoria!

Peggys was such a wonderful host and a great communicator. The studio was very clem and the location was spot on. It was very close to everything especially the ferry harbor, which was super convenient for us since island hopped everyday. Would recommend and definitely would stay again.

A wonderful, fanciful beach cottage, but in the wods, miles from a beach. If you want a quiet place to stay and maybe write or think or look at tree and flowers, thias is it. It's 1/2 mile from the hiighway, and about 10 minutes of open road to all sorts of mall shopping. I could easily picture a week here, not running off to tourist activity, but to hang out and enjoy quiet time.

This place was an absolute dream. Impeccably clean, perfectly designed, and incredibly well laid out—it felt like stepping into a magazine spread. We spent our evenings on the deck watching the sun set over the San Juans, staying cozy with the outdoor fireplace going. Truly stunning. The space had everything we needed and more—thoughtfully stocked, comfortable, and quiet. We also loved exploring the tiny town of Edison—don’t miss the local bakery (we went back twice!) and the brewery/distillery next door made for a perfect low-key night out. No notes—just a beautiful, memorable getaway. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Very cozy and comfortable place to spend time in Bellingham. The walk to downtown is lovely and the location is perfect for exploring the Bellingham area. The bed was comfortable, the shower was amazing. and the cleanliness was excellent. We love to cook and found the kitchen pretty well stocked with the tools we needed for making a few meals. I'd return to stay again in a heartbeat.

Stayed for a week in May 2025. Great location, walking distance to inner harbour, miniature world, Chinatown, and great restaurants close by. Perfect for two couples. Outdoor bar across the street gave us some good people watching from the balcony. Used the hot tub and the condo robes were appreciated! Coffee, tea and some kitchen spices were helpful. Condo safety and parking were excellent.

Debbie's place was in a great location - 5 minute walk from the ferry and an easy walk to shops and restaurants. It was clean and comfortable. Make sure you ask right at check in for the murphy bed to be unlocked if you will need it (I had let her know ahead of time, but still had to ask when we got there for it to be unlocked)...that would be a mess if you find out that it is locked late at night when you're ready to get into bed. There is some road noise for the person sleeping in the living room, but it mostly disappeared after 10 PM and the white noise machine I brought with me took care of it before then. Overall, the place was perfect for our needs

The only complaint I have is the bed in the bedroom. Could not sleep on it very squeaky, wiggly, mattress very lumpy.. needs a foam mattress and new frame. It was so uncomfortable. Thank god the couch was comfortable. Hopefully he will replace the bed by the next time I stay.

Lar's condo was pristine in every way and had all anyone would need to have a very comfortable stay. This was home-from-home for us - neat, tidy and spanking clean. The spaciousness, the decor and the view towards the bay as well as the ease of walking to local restaurants, makes Lar's place ideal. Thanks for making your lovely home available.

We had a wonderful stay! Super clean, easy access to downtown Friday Harbor. Highly recommend!

Loved our time here. The unit is actually even nicer than you can tell from the pictures. Comfortable and colorful aesthetic and beautiful, roomy accommodations with high ceilings and heated floors. Loved the two sided fireplace.

Leith's studio apartment is quiet, yet a walk around the corner from the main street. The views of the East Sound and surrounding landscape from the high up deck are beautiful. The interior is artfully well-appointed and equipped.
