Family-friendly vacation rentals in Friday Harbor

Beautiful view! Definitely a small but as expected space. It was a little hard to reverse from the parking spot as the wood pile was spilling over but we loved our experience. The hot tub was great!

Jacquie place was outstanding and matched the pictures and description. Her place was cozy and had all the items (kitchen ware, linens, etc.) that you would need to feel at home, as well as backups which is always nice. Her property was on many acres, with owls, ravens and her horses which made the experience even more memorable - the hot tub was also a wonderful way to start and end the days. She was an excellent communicator and it was a wonderful first time experience to Mayne Island.

Caroline’s home is clean and comfortable and has stunning views. The upper deck was a wonderful place to relax and converse with friends! Caroline is a wonderful host. She provided excellent suggestions to make our stay even more enjoyable than originally planned. She is responsive and kind! I highly recommend Caroline’s home!

Patricia's place was so beautiful and peaceful! it was a prefect getaway without having to get too far away! The home was very thoughtfully appointed and had everything we needed, plus. I loved the ease of check in and out. The little pizza and pasta place down the road was great and it was nice having the little grocery store close by. We walked and hiked many trails all very close by and in the neighborhood. We highly recommend this home. It was fabulous!!

Carol’s place was AMAZING! The kitchen had everything needed to make meals for dining in, which we did a lot of because THAT VIEW!! We didn’t want to leave, just wanted to sit and watch for marine life. We saw seals, dolphins, eagles, and a family of 6 sea otters playing. When the evening started to cool we moved our binoculars to the hot tub to continue enjoying the views and serenity. My family agreed the beds were comfy and we all slept well. If you are looking for a go go go vacay Pender Island is not your place. If you want easy hikes in gorgeous surroundings, peace that reaches your very core, and super friendly people I definitely recommend Pender Island! The didc golf course has discs for public use and was really fun! Driftwood shopping center has all you will need. We recommend Sea Star Winery and a stop at Bee Wild distillery for tastings. We HIGHLY recommend Carol’s place!

This place is incredible! My best friend and I needed a quick escape from the city and this place was a dream. Amazing location, beautiful views close to town with incredible restaurants. John & Sarah were incredibly kind and welcoming. If you get the chance to stay here, I highly recommend doing so.

This place was absolutely perfect for my family, which included two young kids. We had a lovely stay. The house had all the amenities you could need plus entertainment for the kids. Kitchen well stocked. So many towels, which was seriously amazing. Hot tub was so fun! There was just a little debris in it but it really wasn’t bad. Also a handful of spider webs in corners and the closets but again, not bad. Generally quite clean. Would absolutely stay again.

My only comment is that is was very hard to find the place especially in the dark. Google maps took me to a neighbouring house and it was very confusing. That being said I didn’t fully ready the hosts instructions so she may have mentioned that! Wonderful place though, we would definitely stay here again.

Love to stay at this location. Peaceful and beautiful view! Carole is great to work with! Always accommodating! My mom and i stay at one of her places every year. Another great stay! Looking forward to next year. Thanks Carole!!!

absolutely gorgeous cabin. amazing views and private access to the water was incredible. my girlfriend and I spent our 1 year anniversary here and it couldn't have been better.

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.

Fantastic little cottage with a beautiful outdoors area and a fountain to watch the local birds. The location is so central to the village, but the cottage is so peaceful. Loved it!

We really enjoyed our time at Trish’s place! It was very clean, had a beautiful view, and all the animals were so adorable. Trish and Nick were also wonderful hosts. I would highly recommend!

This was a wonderful setting for family connection. The expansive property gave the kids plenty of space to explore. We so enjoyed kayaking to Skull Island, many rounds of frisbee golf, hiking from the property to expansive views, and crabbing from the dock. The rental was exactly as advertised, and Dennis and Lynna were very thoughtful, responsive hosts.

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.

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.

This was one of the most beautiful and comfortable places we’ve stayed via Airbnb. The home is beautifully provisioned and the yard is fantastic. We loved sitting out back listening to the bubbling water and birds singing. The hosts were friendly and thoughtful. We would definitely choose again and highly recommend.

This was a great airbnb. My husband and I were in town for a wedding and wanted some extra space vs. a hotel room. For less money we had a whole suite to ourselves, with room to lounge, eat, cook, etc. the location was great, suite was well stocked with cutlery, glasses, and everything we needed, and the TV had all the streaming services installed. The instructions for check in were exceptional.

What a great spot! Nestled in the woods in a peaceful and quiet setting this place is truly one-of-a-kind. The house is very unique with lots of character that sets it apart from the usual stays. It was clean and had all we needed. Our host Gramma Rikki was exceptionally warm and welcoming. Unfortunately, the weather did not cooperate, and we could not take advantage of all the outdoor spaces and amenities. We played pool, sat by the cozy fire and did some island exploring by car. All in all it was a very enjoyable and relaxing getaway despite the crummy weather. We hope to return one day and experience everything this wonderful place has to offer.

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!

We were very grateful for Yuri’s detailed notes regarding finding the condo, getting in, being extra careful about all the tree sap, etc. We especially loved his descriptions of the local restaurants, sights and activities!!! We followed his recommendations and had excellent meals and adventures. The place is filled with his wife’s incredible art. We both feel renewed from our week on Orcas Island!

This is a great place to stay to be next to downtown Victoria. It’s as advertised in the listing’s description and photos. There’s plenty of room for a couple and everything is in good condition. Washroom facilities, washer/dryer units, and wifi all worked well. We did not use any of the cooking appliances. The location is walkable to plenty of restaurants/bars in the area. We were comfortable and felt safe walking around at night; we did not have any issues with noise. Agata is a great host! Her instructions made check-in and check-out super easy. She responded within minutes anytime I messaged her. Overall, I would highly recommend this place, especially for couples, if you want to be next to downtown Victoria.

Our family had a great stay and will definitely be back to visit again soon! The condo was exactly as pictured- very clean, stocked with everything we needed, and lots of space for everyone. It’s in a great location across the street from the beach and within walking distance to food and yummy bakeries/ice cream. The kids especially loved the pool! Fred was a great host and answered all of my questions quickly!

This was 2nd time staying at Kori's house for a family get together. Kori is a great host and very helpful. The place is wonderful with many activities to keep our teenagers happy and for the adults to have a relaxing time!! Will be back again next year!!
