Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Downtown, Victoria

Beautiful Getaway! Our family of 5 (2 adults, 5-year-old, 1-year-old, small dog) spent American Thanksgiving week at Carley's place on Pender Island and had an amazing and relaxing week of family time. The house is even more unique (in the best possible way) than the pictures show, the views are amazing, and the kids spent days just exploring the space. We hiked each day, explored the island, and enjoyed the sunsets and fireplace. The hosts are communicative, and the place has all the amenities you could need. 10/10 would recommend and hope to come back again!

words can’t describe how amazing this home is! the view of the olympics and beach access made our vacation truly special! the home was clean, spacious and had everything we needed, including plenty of beach towels, a few toys for the kiddos, books and even binoculars! we will absolutely be back!

Seymour was responsive and check-in was a breeze. We felt right at home in the tidy house with spacious rooms. The labels around the house were helpful and unobtrusive. Great location for tourists, and nature lovers. Shopping, dining and a lovely coffeeshop near by. Comfortable beds and linens. This was definitely the best Air B&B I’ve stayed in and hope to stay here again each time I return to the island.

The stay at the little house on the west coast was impeccable. My husband and I needed a break and the stay here was exactly what we needed. An impeccably clean and peaceful home with a beautiful view. We felt we could stay on the balcony forever looking out to the ocean, listening to birds and watching wildlife. Tess was so thoughtful and detailed with providing information that we would need. It truly was a wonderful stay and we are already planning our next trip here!

Huge home with all the needed amenities for our stay! Was very pleased to find a little closet of kids puzzles and books as well. My kids loved the gems and rocks that were collected around the home. Wish there was a little space where we could have found it what some of them were and where they were collected!!

Exactly as described. looked just like the pictures. We even met Frankie. A clean, comfortable spot just a short drive from anywhere we wanted to be - the university, downtown...

We loved our stay here and would be happy to return! Very close to stores and restaurants while still feeling far enough away to be peaceful. The space was perfect for our family of 3 and we were able to have a quaint lunch playdate with our friend's and their kiddo and have my son's grandma come visit. Our host was very responsive and helpful every step of the way and we loved the included amenities and cozy place to call home for the week.

Liza made us feel welcome and cared about. The setting was beautiful, close to beach/lagoon while being mins from all amenities. Awesome bakery near by. Very clean. Would definitely stay again.?

This place was perfect for our family of four. we easily felt comfortable and at home. Clean and well maintained. Easy to get to. check-in and check out were easy. Felt very secure. The location is wonderful, incredibly walkable. Close to everything. Would not hesitate to stay again!

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!

We had an amazing time at Susanne and Keith’s! Sparkling clean house with lovely little touches, beautiful neighboured, shops and restaurants close by and public transport was very easy to navigate. You won’t find more wonderful and helpful hosts - we felt truly at home and super comfortable. We will definitely be back if we come through Victoria again!

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.

We really enjoyed staying here! Perfect size for two people. It feels so warm and private to walk through the beautiful gate in to the perfectly manicured courtyard. Christine gave excellent, clear instructions on how to use the fancy shower. We very much appreciated the washer and dryer, and access to streaming on the TV. Kitchen is a small galley, but it suited us just fine. Elegant, clean bathroom with the coolest shower ever, and the luxury of a bidet. Would definitely stay here again. Private, safe, and well-cared for. Met Christine once and she was lovely and welcoming. Also, this is quite close to a great brewery! Bonus!

We couldn't be happier that we chose this place. Our hosts were fantastic and couldn't have been more kind and friendly. Anything we needed or even things we didn't think of, were there for us. We ended up having a prolonged stay, and they couldn't have been more welcoming or made it any easier than they did. The king size bed was wonderful, and I want to take the pillows home! The surroundings are beautiful, the birds, deer, and bunnies are awesome to see right out the door! We just can't thank them enough, we'll be back and highly recommend staying here. 5 Stars!!!

This unit was a great stay. The kitchen is well-stocked. We cooked our breakfasts here and felt we had everything we needed. The view is incredible. The photos don't compare to how lovely the view of the sunset and harbour is in person. The beds were super comfortable with nice linens. Location is convenient - near everything. Only gets noisy outside on Fri/Sat nights because the Sticky Wicket is nearby - this is expected at any downtown location near pubs.

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 :)

Nice place in great location!

Wonderful place to stay. We came without a car and were able to walk everywhere: Cook Street Village, Beacon Hill park, downtown, Chinatown, the inner harbour. Being able to watch the ships from the front room and walk along the seafront right out the front door was amazing. The house is luxurious and spotlessly clean. A great getaway spot!

My wife and I had a phenomenal stay at this Airbnb. Nestled in the city's heart, it provided a stunning view of the iconic Empress Hotel. The apartment was comfortably furnished, feeling like a second home. The outdoor patio was a unique highlight. Surrounded by trees, it served as a peaceful oasis amid the urban bustle. The pool and hot tub access added a layer of luxury, perfect for relaxation after city exploration. Our hosts were attentive, ensuring our comfort at every step. This Airbnb is a splendid choice for couples seeking a luxurious city stay. Eagerly awaiting our return visit!

Really appreciated the quiet area and gorgeous view from the unit. Would definitely return in the future!

If I could give more stars I would. this was an incredible place to stay while in Victoria with my family! There's so much to do, it's centrally located, and COMES WITH A PARKING SPACE. Staying at the Gambling Den made us feel like locals for our long weekend in Victoria. I'd highly recommend to anyone visiting!

An oasis on Vancouver Island. Rick was a great host. Very accommodating and quick to respond when we had any questions. A beautiful home with beautiful surroundings.
