Family-friendly holiday rentals in Rye

Sandy was so easy to communicate with. He was friendly and helpful and allowed us to check in early. The house was stunning and you could see the ocean from the balcony and the most amazing sunsets. The spa was amazing and the house was warm, well set out and very clean. Highly recommend this property.

Swan Bay views was the perfect accommodation for our needs as a couple with a dog. It had everything we needed from a large secure backyard for the dog to a warm and cosy one bedroom apartment with high quality king size bed, fully equipped kitchen and laundry. We appreciated the extra touches on arrival with the lovely sourdough bread, lemon cake and home made jams, prewarmed rooms, instructions and local recommendations. It was a nice blend of B&B and AirBnB with the lovely provisions and well stocked kitchen and owners onsight but out of site. The location was a short walk to main street and a nice and quiet location with beautiful views of Swan bay to greet you each morning.

Great stay, place felt secure, warm, safe and peaceful - was near family and friends we were celebrating with. Super clean, beautiful presentation, would definitely stay again.

The place was perfect for my daughters and I. Great value especially in the height of summer. Thank you!!!!!

Fantastic place to stay. Great location.Easy to operate tv and wifi connection. Carolyn was a great host. I would stay there again

lovely place for a little getaway. not too far from local strip shops on jetty road. spa was great! the place itself is very clean and peaceful. had a wonderful stay. will definitely return..

We had a great stay at Simon’s. It catered for the whole family with kids and dogs. Great location directly opposite the beach, undercover bbq area and kids playground. Big fenced backyard for the dogs and play equipment to entertain the kids. There’s a studio detached from the house which was perfect for a guest with sensory sensitives when peace and quiet was needed. Highly recommended.

Highly recommend this place. Location is superb being near the beach and local shops and restaurants. It also has plenty of rooms for large families. Only drawbacks for me was everything was dated and there was no wifi but I guess if you are going out most of the time it doesn't matter too much.

We had a great two-night stay on Coolart Road! The place was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. Lovely peaceful spot and a great base for exploring the area. Would happily stay again!

A wonderful place, so light and bright and peaceful. Great big yard for dogs, and nice and close to the coastlines and amenities. Host was lovely and very communicative - a seamless experience

We had a lovely stay at Anthony’s house on the wet long weekend in June. It was nice and cosy for our extended family. Part of the selling point for our booking of 11 was the outdoor entertaining area but this could not be utilized as the blinds were cracked and had a broken zip. Would be lovely in warmer weather. Host Stewart was great to work with and offered compensation too. Our 3 large vehicles filled the driveways so the 7 cars would need to be small ones. Kitchen was well equipped and the house clean. Thank you Stewart

We had a wonderful stay at Jac and Tony’s. The view was incredible and the place clean and tidy. We felt like we were on top of the world…We will definitely be back!

The house with the very special decoration is unique and very comfortable to stay for a couple of days, especially due to the very comfortable bed in the main bedroom . To relax in the beautiful garden with an amazing bird life the house is perfect. To make the chill out complete, the two hammocks you can put up on the deck were fantastic! And you can go for a relaxed swim on the very close swimming beach. For people who love surfing the most amazing surf beach in the first surf nature reserve is just a three minute drive away. The waves were just spectacular when we were there. If you want to eat out, it’s just a 20 minute walk on two minute drive to the restaurant in the entrance of the urbanization, It’s really recommendable. We had just had 3 perfect days!

Lizzie’s place is a great base for a family weekend on the Mornington Peninsula. The home was well equipped with everything we needed, in particular a wonderful kids room full of toys for our 4 y/o to enjoy. There is a fenced in yard, perfect for our pup to run around, and the log fire kept the home cosy over a very cold weekend. Lizzie was extremely flexible with checkin and checkout.

Without a doubt one of the best places we have stayed and Angela was the most amazing host. Felt right at home and location is great. Highly recommend!

The perfect weekend escape! Superbly ambient cottage, comfy beds, well equipped kitchen, beautiful deck and gardens. David was an immaculate host; communicative, full of local knowledge/recommendations and amazingly flexible with check-in/check-out. Would stay again in a heartbeat!

Fantastic stay with our four children ! Would highly recommend for a family very accommodating . Kids had a ball

We keep coming back to the Farm Cottage because we love the peaceful setting, comfortable accommodation, excellent location, feeding the animals with James in the mornings, and playing with Zeus the sheepdog. It was our fourth visit and we are already planning another stay! A huge thank you to Michelle and James for welcoming us back again, and for being such wonderfully hospitable and kind hosts.

The accommodation was a perfect size. Main bedroom is great, large with its own bathroom and enclosed outside area. Shared bedrooms maybe a bit small but they're just for sleeping anyway. Plenty of living space, an extra area for kids. Lots of toys and games and a billiard table. The swim spa wasn't heating for us but Chris the host did warn us due to unforeseen circumstances and offered a refund if we wished to cancel. Very close to a beautiful enclosed beach, not very busy and good for swimming. Far enough away from 5he bustle of Cowes centre but close enough to walk or drive in for supplies. Chris was very prompt in replying. Overall, a very good experience and I recommend this accommodation for groups or families. Thank you Chris for offering your place.

What an absolutely perfect stay we had. Tamara was an amazing host, helping us organise our elopment wedding from Scotland. The house was huge and well kept. we paid to get the pool heated and it was like a warm bath - we spent ages in there and the kids loved it. If we visit again we would definitely stay there again.

We couldn’t be happier with our time at this home. It was beautifully clean, well appointed and had everything you need. The home was so convenient to the shops, a short stroll away. We stayed in April and the surrounds were very quiet and peaceful.

We thoroughly enjoyed our short stay at Kelli’s. Her home was immaculate with all the amenities to make our stay even more enjoyable. Kelli was extremely responsive and one of the nicest hosts we’ve ever dealt with. I’d thoroughly recommend staying here.

We had a lovely stay! The host was very nice and always responded quickly to any questions we had, which made everything smooth and easy. The location is great—it's within a kid-friendly hotel, and we were able to access the hotel facilities, which was a big plus for our family. Everyone enjoyed the stay, and we'd definitely come back again. Highly recommend!

Nicola’s house is set in a beautiful well cared for garden! The house is as beautiful as the garden! Nicola was a very responsive host who left us an extremely well stocked kitchen! Thank you for sharing your lovely property with us Nicola!
