Kid-friendly vacation rentals in San Juan County

This cabin was so dreamy! On our drive in, we spotted a beautiful gray fox and a few deer. The forest surrounding the cabin is just beautiful. The cabin had everything we needed. I thought I wouldn’t like to walk to the bath house, but honestly I thoroughly enjoyed it. It’s only a short walk, and it gives you multiple chances to spot wildlife. The bath house is clean and has everything you need. I especially enjoyed the French press coffee and slow mornings reading in the cabin

Thank you for letting our crew stay at your place - it was perfect for our needs and the team was very happy with it! Jesse was very responsive and a great host!

Five stars all around! The Kissingfish Cottage had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable and memorable. We visited with out-of-town family who had never been to the San Juan Islands, and they were absolutely awe-struck—not only by the beauty of the island but also by the charm and comfort of the cottage itself. Every detail was perfect, from the cozy bedrooms to the well-equipped kitchen, the inviting living room, and the serene front and back porches. Thank you for making this lovely home available—it was the perfect setting for our getaway!

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!

Nice house, accurately described, great location! One thing the description doesn't mention is that there are DINOSAURS (made out of driftwood) along the beach, which was a super cool surprise. One thing to note is that the house is close to the refinery, so there are lights at night and some smells, although low tide accounts for some of that and can't be avoided.

Jacqueline’s place had everything we needed and nothing we didn’t. A peaceful place. We had a great time

The house had great accommodations and it being right on the water was absolutely perfect. It was so peaceful and serene, wish we could have stayed longer.

Annika’s home was beautiful - a true sanctuary. The access to the beach at low tide was a blast for our kids and we were treated to beautiful sunsets every night and even had an eagle perch on a branch outside to have its dinner. The house was spacious, clean and comfortable with lots of games and toys for the kids. Our kids are already asking when we can return.

We enjoyed staying at Hannah's, although I think next time we would stay closer to Eastsound, as out of the three cafe/restaurants within 5 miles, the two in Olga closed mid-afternoon and the third, in Doe Bay, is only open at Friday-Sunday at this time of year. Fortunately we were able to cook in the small kitchenette in the studio and eat on the deck outside, since it was quite warm outside the two days we were there. Otherwise we had a pleasant time, and Hannah and Pat are very interesting people...

I had a great stay at this Airbnb in Friday Harbor. The location is excellent—about a 15-minute walk to downtown—and the listing was accurate and as described. The apartment was quiet, clean, and very conducive to remote work, with a dedicated desk and reliable fiber internet that handled VPNs and video calls without issue. There was some initial confusion about parking, but the hosts responded after a short delay and clarified everything. Once that was sorted, parking was easy and plentiful. The kitchen more or less had everything I needed for cooking meals. It was well-equipped for typical vacation use, and while it might not have every single item you’d find in a fully stocked home kitchen, it covered the essentials just fine. All in all, a solid and comfortable stay. I felt safe, had no issues with noise, and would definitely return.

We had the best time at Ramy’s place! She is an incredible host with wonderful energy. This little slice of heaven is absolutely worth the visit. Bring cash for the boat ride and the farm stands! We will be visiting again!

We had a very pleasant stay at the RobinSong on Orcas Island. The space felt peaceful and private—perfect for relaxing. Vicki was a thoughtful and respectful host, offering great suggestions for things to do without ever intruding. Highly recommend!

What a lovely space! I wish we had had more time to cozy up in the apartment, but we were gone for a lot of the stay. It was pristine, very comfortable and very well stocked. The only kind of interesting thing was the bed is rotated 90º, so one person has to sleep against the wall and crawl over the other if they need to get out. Also, definitely read the instructions on how to find the place because Google Maps took me around the back instead of up the driveway. Thank for for a great stay, Janie, I hope we can come back soon!

Toni’s suite is the perfect place to stay for a weekend island getaway. The bed is comfortable, the kitchen is well stocked, the bathroom has some luxurious amenities, and the location is very convenient for exploring the town. Toni was a thoughtful, responsive host and went above and beyond with gestures like providing chocolate and a handwritten note upon arrival. Highly recommend this space!

Great location and cheaper option compared to similar listings in the area. There are two bedrooms but the 2nd bedroom is attached to the living room and only has a curtain for separation. Would probably be fine for two couples depending on how much you value privacy.

I booked this place for my elderly father and it worked out really nicely for him to walk around town and visit with my brother. He said the place was really nice and pleasant and felt homey.

Great stay right in town, close to all local shops and restaurants, and only about a block from the ferry. Easy parking and apartment entry. Would definitely stay here again when visiting San Juan!

Great place to stay and great host. So many extras that we haven’t seen in other places, e.g. earplugs on both side tables, face wash (in addition to shampoo etc.), and many others. The place was very clean and comfortable. Really enjoyed our stay.

Debbie's place was in a great location - 5 minute walk from the ferry and an easy walk to shops and restaurants. It was clean and comfortable. Make sure you ask right at check in for the murphy bed to be unlocked if you will need it (I had let her know ahead of time, but still had to ask when we got there for it to be unlocked)...that would be a mess if you find out that it is locked late at night when you're ready to get into bed. There is some road noise for the person sleeping in the living room, but it mostly disappeared after 10 PM and the white noise machine I brought with me took care of it before then. Overall, the place was perfect for our needs

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 a great time at David’s place! It was so clean and conveniently located. David was super responsive and provided so many great recommendations of things to do and places to eat! Highly recommend and we can’t wait to come back

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.
