Family-friendly vacation rentals in Gig Harbor

My sister and I had a very relaxing stay. The house was cozy and very clean with fabulous views. The lilac was in bloom so everything smelled wonderful, too. The handbook is a bit vague in places (no list of recyclable items and no instructions for the for the hot tub) but the hosts were very responsive to questions. A very peaceful escape.

Beautiful spot by the lake! Everything was clean, inviting, and thoughtfully set up. Steve was a responsive and considerate host throughout. Highly recommend staying here if you're looking for a scenic, comfortable retreat.

We absolutely loved our stay at this adorable beach cabin! The place was cozy, clean, and thoughtfully decorated with charming coastal touches that made it feel like a true getaway. We loved being just steps away from the beach. The cabin had everything we needed—comfortable bed, well-equipped kitchen, and a peaceful outdoor space that was perfect for morning coffee or evening relaxation. The host was kind, responsive, and provided great local recommendations. If you’re looking for a relaxing, quiet, and scenic place to unwind, this beach cabin is a gem. Our dogs love it and we can’t wait to come back!

DJ and Karen's cabin is gorgeous. It's perfect for two people, and it definitely has its quirks, but the view makes up for it. We saw so much wildlife on this trip: seals, otters, bald eagles, deer--magical! We lucked out that the neighbors were not there while we were there--the other house is close and they arrived on our final day to do noisy work on their roof. Not a problem, just know that it's not remote. We loved our stay, but it would have been on the expensive side if not for the million dollar view.

Absolutely gorgeous house and location! Looked exactly like the photos. We took advantage of the oysters right in back of the house and cooked them in the oven for a delicious dinner. The hot tub was the perfect place to watch the sunset. Lots of beautiful wildlife, including birds, fish, and seals that swam right up to the dock! Kayaks were another excellent feature. Overall, the perfect place to spend our honeymoon!

This lovely spot in Bainbridge was perfect for a weekend getaway. The pictures don't do justice to how well-appointed the space is and how beautiful the view is. The hot tub right by the water was such a wonderful treat. Just 10 mins from downtown Winslow, this was the perfect place to explore Bainbridge from. I would absolutely stay here again!

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

We stayed overnight for a work trip and wish we could have stayed longer! A beautiful space that made for a peaceful stay.

The atmosphere of tranquility is a wonderful part of the experience.

We loved staying at Matt and Sharon’s guest house. It was cozy and a short walk from the beach. They set up wood for us on the beach to start a fire so we could roast marshmallows with the kids. They alerted us about low tide in AM which was super fun for kids to get to walk super far out. They were always very responsive and helpful with any questions. The house itself was perfect for our one-night getaway. Would love to come back!

The location of this airbnb is so beautiful and peaceful. You are surrounded by forest and awaken to the sounds of birds every morning. It also has a great view of the ocean, and it's a short walk to the beach. The space itself is thoughtfully decorated and very cozy. I loved all the little touches, from the selection of furniture to coffee table books to linens. I've never taken a bath in a tub with a view like this one had, and the outdoor shower was also a highlight. My husband and I loved it so much that we're already thinking of booking it again for a future weekend!

This was our second time at this house and the stay was just as delightful as the first time. The house itself is charming and super comfortable. It’s cute and cozy, feels like a family getaway. The view is unbeatable. We drank coffee and had lazy mornings watching birds from the deck. The location is super convenient for exploring the area. We’ll be back!

Beautiful lovely cottage located by the peaceful seaside area of west Seattle. The cottage itself is super cozy and just as described. Very convenient if you have a car, very easy to get to the main beach strip, to the watertaxi station, coffees, restaurants, and groceries are just few minutes drive away. Also the 2 lovelyyy big doggies are just toooo cute.

Gisele’s cabin was a great home base while visiting family for the holidays. The cabin is located centrally on the island close to the ferry and downtown Winslow, while the cabin itself was always a cozy place to read and stay warm by the fire. Excited for my next visit!

Our stay in Vashon was lovely! My friend and I had a bit of a rough start to our travel, and Joseph was incredibly responsive and accommodating to the light chaos that landed in our lap the first day. Our car arrangements unexpectedly fell through, and I must mention that a car is necessary, both for the transport to and from the ferry terminal and to any sightseeing destinations on the island. The unit was pristine, with a gorgeous fireplace and views that can't be beat - Seattle graced us with some spectacular weather, and I spent most of my time outside while we were there. The amenities in the unit were fantastic, and the welcome guide had a lot of great recommendations by the host of places to eat and see while on the island. The towel warmer in the bathroom and white noise machines in both bedrooms were a nice touch :-)

Excellent, peaceful place to stay in Bremerton. Right by the water, with easy access to the beach. Loved sitting by the water, and the hosts provided kayaks and bicycles for us to use! Kayaking was excellent (I went for an hour every morning). Recommend!

We had a wonderful stay at Ron’s place. We were visiting our son and family and were very close to their home. We had a spectacular view of the sound from the condo. Having a washer/dryer wasn’t something we thought we would need but it ended up coming in handy before we left. Ron responded to our texts very promptly. Would highly recommend Ron’s place to anyone visiting the area.

Marc’s place was the perfect spot for our long weekend stay. We noticed the guesthouse was extremely clean upon our arrival - no trace of any previous guests, and it was well equipped with kitchen supplies, a coffee station, and a washer/dryer setup. We had a small hiccup getting in during check-in but Marc was super quick to respond and resolved it right away even though he wasn’t on the premise. We were encouraged to let him know if we needed anything although we had absolutely no issues at all. Thanks Marc for a great stay!

Our fourth time staying here! Clean and comfortable with the best view in town.

I appreciated how friendly Beth is and I’m so grateful they have an Airbnb. The space had gorgeous views of the sound kitchen two bedrooms full bath. It was on a nice sized property felt very private and safe. Beth was great at communicating and helping us know how to get in and how to check out. Anderson Island is a beautiful place with kind residents. We highly recommend Beth’s place at Anderson Island!

We had a great time at the Waterfall Cottage! We stayed the night after a nearby concert. The cottage was comfortable, quiet, and clean. My only regret was not having more time to enjoy the space. I look forward to a return here in the near future. Pete and Mary Kay were quick, responsive, and kind in all their communications and made check in/check out a breeze. Can’t recommend enough if you need a place to stay in the area.

Wow! What a view! And the host was so kind! He took the time to answer several questions and even called us! Saw eagles, seals! The changing views because of the tide are so interesting! Parking isn’t the easiest, but very doable. The local restaurant was delicious at breakfast! About an hour and a half from Hurricane Ridge mountain range, but the scenery to and from is stunning!

Brian’s bungalow and property are gorgeous and serene. The view is stunning and the accommodations were cozy and thoughtful. If we’re ever back in Quilcene, we would certainly stay there again!

We had a great stay here. Marian was very responsive. The views from the living room and bedroom were amazing. We will definitely be back.
