Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Central Saanich

We visited Lopez Island for a quick weekend away and are so happy we chose Linnea’s place. The house was very charming and included everything we need while there. Its location was perfect (right in the heart of the village so we could easily walk to restaurants and shops). Also, the bed upstairs that we slept in was VERY comfy. Highly recommend. Thank you, Linnea!

We had a fantastic stay - right on the ocean with beautiful sunrise and sunset views. The jacuzzi overlooking the water was enjoyed by all. The kitchen is spectacular with everything you could need and the living area is very nice. The full wall of glass windows and sliders with the wrap-around deck was great. The heated floors were an unexpected, but welcome surprise!

This is a very nice home in a nice neighborhood. Beds were comfortable and big. We had a great stay here.

The house was great and had a well stocked kitchen. We came in at night which made locating it challenging. For reference it is just past the 25mph sign with the orange reflector above it. We really enjoyed our stay. All the beds were comfortable and the bed linens were nice and soft. Having fans in the rooms was great and they were of a nice quality. We would stay here again.

Nicole’s place was very lovely. It’s modern and beautiful, and has a huge grassy yard which our pup loved for playing frisbee. We found everything we needed and felt right at home. Check-in was super easy, and everything was nice and clean when we got there. The double headed master shower is a nice treat too. Check-out was straight forward and simple. We would definitely recommend this place to others and would gladly book again.

Great location!

Tim and Patti were great hosts. We enjoyed our stay and hope to return when next on Mayne Island. The space was clean, comfortable, well-equipped, and peaceful. We were wowed by the great views and appreciated being so close to the trails. Thank you for such a relaxing long weekend!

Serene’s place is so lovely. Spacious, but cozy and super clean, with beautiful surroundings and lovely hosts. Serene went above and beyond to make sure we, and especially our kids, were comfortable. She had all the baby necessities, and even provided toys based on my toddler’s interests. Would highly reccomend!

Astrid and Stephen’s place in the marina was an absolute gem. When we first arrived, we were greeted by a friendly neighbour who so happened to be Stephen who showed us to our unit, and helped us check in. Though it rained for much of our visit, the views were still stunning—peaceful, calming, and a perfect escape. The home itself was pristine and full of charm, clearly cared for with thought and love. Every little detail made it feel like a true retreat. We flew in for my son’s hockey playoffs, and the location couldn’t have been better—an easy and scenic trip to and from the arena. In fact, we loved it so much that we added two extra nights to our stay instead of touring to Victoria. No regrets! The local touches were a highlight—morning walks for fresh sourdough bread from Grain, amazing local wines at nearby restaurants that we walked to for a few lunches, dinners and a stop for some delicious tubs of local ice cream that we stocked up on! Grateful.

Really lovely place in Cowichan Valley. Jane was a lovely and kind host. The place was exactly as shown/described, with a well stocked kitchen and a comfortable bed. Would stay here again when we're back in Duncan!

This place was fantastic. It was so hard to leave, even after three nights. The lodging decor is cozy, very comfortable with lots of nice seating options and has all that you need. Enjoyed making meals in the ample kitchen (oil & a few seasonings) and watching the wind and water through the wall-to-wall windows. For those with mobility concerns, there are five gradual gravel steps down to your entry door (it's on the lowest floor of an occupied 3-story home) and a short gradual gravel slope down the driveway and along side of house to get down to the very private lower section of the property. Your lower water-view yard is very private with a picnic table for a peaceful outdoor lunch with a view. Loved Betsy's tea and coffee options, the banana muffins and homemade bread were delightful. Quiet lodging with minimal walking sounds from above. Open communication was prompt and check-in/out was easy. I can't wait to return with my sweetie. This was an AirBnB favorite, for sure.

Agata’s place was so beautiful, in a great location and very comfortable to stay in! There was lots to do around the area and it felt very safe. It was very easy to check in, even when going with a vehicle and the instructions were super easy to follow. Agata also responded quickly to messages and made communication stress-free. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

A wonderful stay in an absolutely stunning location! The photos and description are perfectly accurate, and the place is wonderful to spread out relax or use as a homebase while visiting Sidney. Both bedrooms and bathrooms are spacious and stocked full of amenities, and the kitchen is very functional with a great open room and beautiful balcony overlooking the water. Victoria is about a 25 minutes drive away (depending on traffic) but the suite is close to many amenities including stores, restaurants, the Victoria Airport and the ferries to Vancouver. Highly recommend and would stay here again.

Breck's place was peaceful and the view was beautiful and we enjoyed evening walks to the beach. Breck was responsive when we needed him and attentive to needs. Thanks Breck!

This place was lovely and we felt very well accommodated. The hosts really thought of everything from extra snacks to toiletries. Super clean and cute, and leaving fruit and scones for us was just the cherry on top. The hosts were welcoming and communicative, highly highly recommend!!

The stay was more than I could ask for and the location was in the middle of everything which made travel very easy. This location and the interior design is definitely worth the experience

The place was absolutely beautiful and exactly what we expected! Perfect view of the water!Definitely worth the price. Jeffrey was extremely communicative and answered any questions we had quickly. There were great places to eat and grab a drink within walking distance (literally a wine bar right next door). Also a short drive to Olympic National Park. I would highly recommend this place for 1-2 people!

Wayne's place was fantastic! It's in a great location that makes everything Downtown very walkable. Would recommend a stay here and we would love to come back :)

This place was super cute and comfortable. Annette’s place was very clean. This adorable spot was a 10 minute walk to all the shops and food and a 17 minute drive to Roche Harbor! Loved our weekend getaway! Stay here y’all! It’s worth it! Thanks Annette! 🙏😀

House is clean, I had a great stay. Host is responsive. Would stay here again.

We had an incredible stay at this stunning property perched on the ocean in Shirley, BC! The views of the Olympic Mountains from the premium hot tub were nothing short of breathtaking, especially when we spotted humpback whales at dusk on our first night—pure magic! The property itself at moments may feel more like a swanky international hotel with its backlit onyx kitchen and luxurious rain shower yet nestled in the rustic beauty of the coast. Our host, Robert, was incredibly kind and attentive, immediately offering his charging station for our car—a real relief. Highly recommend this place for an exceptional, premium coastal retreat close to Victoria!

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.

It’s definitely a fantastic place to stay! Beautiful, comfortable, clean and very well equipped with everything you may need. Great location and the host is also amazing. I totally recommend Alisson’s apartment.
