Family-friendly holiday rentals in San Juan Islands

I was traveling with 3 kids (pre teen and teens). We all loved our stay! There was so much to do and absolutely everything we needed for anything we could think of doing. We enjoyed ping pong, biking, s’more’s, kayaking, games, cooking meals, watching wildlife (seals, a huge sea lion, weasel, bald eagles), and hanging out with a friendly black cat that visited. I cooked a couple meals and had everything I needed for cooking and storage. The view was amazing and north-facing which made me upset that I missed the strong auroras by 1 day :( I wish we could have stayed longer!

Carol has a fantastic place on Pender that we loved staying in for a few days. Duch beautiful views from the house, and great, quiet location. Carol was very responsive and a wonderful host to us for the weekend. Thanks so much!

absolutely lovely!! the cottage was adorable and so nice. the beach was stunning and everything was perfect! the host was super friendly and kind. 10/10 would come back again.

The place was beautiful and private, with many deer wandering freely. The cabin was luxurious, with a great kitchen, a hot tub, a huge wrap-around couch and a deck with plenty of seating. Autumn, the host, was very accommodating and easily reachable by phone. Beds were comfortable, showers were hot, and we had plenty of extra linens, including towels. We have stayed in many Airbnb accommodations, and this was one of the best. Thank you!

This was probably the best Airbnb experiences we’ve had! Janet is a great host and it is clear that she really cares about helping to create memorable experiences for guests. She has gone above and beyond to provide anything you might need for cooking and comfort. We wished we could have spent more time enjoying the house any yard, but relaxing with bbq and hot tub after our long days of site seeing with was the perfect end to our two evenings!

This place is a gem in so many ways! We love the coziness of the cabin, the tucked away in the forest, but yet feet away from ocean front. The view from the hot tub is great. The cabin is so neat with the little library, art room, and extra sleeping nooks. The kitchen was beyond fully stocked with everything we needed. The beds and linens were wonderful. We enjoyed the board games and books one rainy morning. The kids enjoyed seeing starfish and a sea otter around the dock. Crabbing off the dock was a nice bonus. The wildlife all around the cabin was a treat - deer & fawn and so many different birds visiting the bird feeders. We will be back for longer next time!

Absolutely stunning home! Fantastic views and so much to do. We can’t wait to go back!

We loved it and had the best girls trip!! Amazing view the entire time

Bay #1 house was super clean and well organized. The location is perfect for a stay on Lopez Island because it is only a few minutes drive from the village and it’s also a reasonable distance to walk. The living room and porch have amazing views of the sunset across Fisherman Bay. The house is cozy and warm. Carole let us know all of the information we needed for a great stay!

The views were amazing. Everything looked just as it was pictured. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting the area.

We came for a weekend Renaissance Faire and while we very much enjoyed the Faire it was great to come back to a place where we could relax, be comfortable and enjoy the quiet of the countryside and the views. CarolLynn was very helpful whenever we had a question and showed us around her beautiful property. I will most definitely consider staying here again.

Priceless views and amazing architecture are showpieces of this magnificent home that combines coziness, elegance, comfort and rustic charm. We’ve stayed at many airbnbs, but this one is a new favorite. It’s an ideal getaway for the whole family; plus it’s close to interesting hikes and restaurants. The kitchen is well stocked for eating at home. We didn’t enjoy the taste of the well water, but bought drinking water at Tru Value. Carley was very responsive and helpful throughout. We would love to come back in the summer.

My partner and I visited for a weekend getaway from Vancouver and it was fantastic. I loved the space and it was just like it was pictured. The best part for us was the fire pit and how walkable it was into town. Thanks again!

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.

As others have said, the location in the heart of Eastsound cannot be beat and the view is spectacular. I could have sat on the balcony all weekend and watched the water. The loft was extremely clean and cozy, perfect for two.

We had a glorious few days at Nigel’s San Juan property. The location can’t be beat, the house very comfortable, and Nigel was extremely helpful throughout our stay. Don’t pass this one up on your next visit to San Juan!

We had a lovely stay at Billie’s place while visiting Salt Spring for a soccer tournament, and for our first trip with our new puppy! The place was very clean, lots of space, the kitchen had a large fridge and freezer for our snacks, and the bed was extremely comfortable. I even okayed the piano for the first time in years there! We enjoyed having a mudroom to take our boots/cleats/shoes off in and wipe our puppy’s paws before going inside. There’s also a nice lawn in front where we could play with the pup and it was walking distance from the local cidery. Overall it felt like our home away from home during our busy weekend visit.

The hosts had an incredibly clean suite. It had plenty of room with an extremely comfortable bed and the most comfortable sofa bed I’ve ever slept on. The bathroom amenities were not cut-rate products, but high quality. The view of the water was spectacular; we even had the added bonus of seeing some wildlife in the backyard from our window. The indoor pool was the incentive that kept my 4- year old grandson on his best behavior. It was depressing to have to leave. It felt like we were at home.

Beautiful condo, full of amenities, comfy bed, gorgeous views. Perfect for longer stays. We were only there for a couple of nights, making it hard to justify all the air BnB fees, but not the hosts fault. Would certainly rent again when we have longer time to visit my grandsons.

We had a great time at Anna's house and immediately felt right at home. It had everything we needed. It felt perfectly secluded and private in spite of the neighborhood being relatively dense. The view of the lake was beautiful. We appreciated the house's proximity to Bellingham and the area's sprawling mountain bike trails. Grateful for our time there!

Very calm and peaceful getaway to unwind

We enjoyed the apartment, it had everything you need for the kitchen. The location is very convenient for downtown Victoria. You can literally walk to every attraction, including the Empress Hotel, Parliament Buildings, Museum of Natural History, and restaurants all around the harbour.

We always try to stay here when we come into town. It is perfect for us

I had a wonderful stay at this beautiful BnB! The place was exactly as pictured—clean, cozy, and thoughtfully decorated. The host was incredibly friendly and easy to communicate with. They were always available to answer any questions and made sure everything went smoothly throughout my stay. I highly recommend this place and would definitely stay again!
