Family-friendly vacation rentals in San Juan Islands

I do not think there are enough words to describe how absolutely incredible Matthew's home is! Myself and 6 other girls spent the week here for a girls getaway and every single one of us could not stop 'oooo-ing & awwww'-ing' at every space. The home itself looks as if it came straight out of a novel but the property! Oh my gosh!!! Getting to be tucked away in the gorgeous scenic town of Kingston, while also not being too far from amazing restaurants and other amenities was pure perfection. We all took daily walks around the property and loved the high end retreat vibe that the home itself gives. We truly made some life long memories and cannot thank Matt enough for allowing us the opportunity to get to stay here. He was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout our entire stay and we are all already talking about when we can come back; especially when the lavender field is in full bloom!! Thank you again, Matt!!

I was traveling with 3 kids (pre teen and teens). We all loved our stay! There was so much to do and absolutely everything we needed for anything we could think of doing. We enjoyed ping pong, biking, s’more’s, kayaking, games, cooking meals, watching wildlife (seals, a huge sea lion, weasel, bald eagles), and hanging out with a friendly black cat that visited. I cooked a couple meals and had everything I needed for cooking and storage. The view was amazing and north-facing which made me upset that I missed the strong auroras by 1 day :( I wish we could have stayed longer!

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!

Our family came to Orcas Island for the wedding of our nephew at Cascade lake. The house was perfect...very close to the venue so we could take the 1 year old back for naps and bedtime and then return to the festivities. The space was as described, the wildlife and hot tub wonderful and the host responsive and friendly. We would stay here again.

This place is a gem in so many ways! We love the coziness of the cabin, the tucked away in the forest, but yet feet away from ocean front. The view from the hot tub is great. The cabin is so neat with the little library, art room, and extra sleeping nooks. The kitchen was beyond fully stocked with everything we needed. The beds and linens were wonderful. We enjoyed the board games and books one rainy morning. The kids enjoyed seeing starfish and a sea otter around the dock. Crabbing off the dock was a nice bonus. The wildlife all around the cabin was a treat - deer & fawn and so many different birds visiting the bird feeders. We will be back for longer next time!

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

We loved it and had the best girls trip!! Amazing view the entire time

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

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.

This was our home base for the HOH rainforest. The forest was about 2 hrs away. The place is gorgeous, we didn't want to leave. We could have stayed all week and found so many things to do locally. The windows were large and we were right on the ocean. The dishes were cute, there was a wine opener (which was key). It was quiet safe, the waves were so loud (very cool), our patio was cute. There was electricity! Just a few lights and outlets to still have a glamping feel without being on the screen all day. The bed and sheets were so comfortable. Some mistakes I made. 1. Get groceries in Sequim or Port Angeles. We stopped at a tiny market and were very limited then saw a whole store! 2. A lot of places weren't open after 8, so plan for dinner ahead. 3. We thought we had to get there because it would be so dark, but in the summer we should have not hurried, there was plenty of light even when the sun was gone.

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.

An incredible stay. So peaceful and private, nestled within the tranquil fields of the farm. Just the right distance from town and nearby trails. The space was spotless and beautifully designed, and the sauna was a fantastic bonus.

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!

wow what a fantastic cabin! it's utterly beautiful, magical, gorgeous and just amazing. the additional extras such as toiletries, oil, herbs, coffee, tea etc made it SO much easier and meant I had things on hand easily for the children and us adults. plenty of towels etc, everywhere was very clean and lots of utensils for cooking etc. we loved getting the fire going (only did it once as it was pretty hot temps when we stayed!) and Kirstin was easily contactable and helped advice with ferry times etc. fantastic stay and would not hesitate to book again!

Nigel's place was beautiful, with lovely views and a great yard for relaxing in. The neighborhood is peaceful and just a few minutes to Friday Harbor. Everything inside is comfortable and has many nice touches. Nigel was very responsive and accommodating when we had a last minute change. Our family would definitely recommend Nigel's and hope to stay again!

We had a very lovely stay at Brian’s cottage. It was tucked away within the trees and was very peaceful with a beautiful view. Everything was very clean and fully stocked with anything we might need. He left lots of information regarding restaurants and hiking near the area and also had lots of books and guides about Olympic National park which we took advantage of. Overall we were very satisfied with our stay and would definitely recommend.

We had a wonderful stay. Billie was friendly and approachable, and so wonderful. We enjoy the clean and comfortable place, and swimming pool. The place was very close from the main shopping/restaurants area and it made our stay very enjoyable. Thank you for everything Billie!

The hosts had an incredibly clean suite. It had plenty of room with an extremely comfortable bed and the most comfortable sofa bed I’ve ever slept on. The bathroom amenities were not cut-rate products, but high quality. The view of the water was spectacular; we even had the added bonus of seeing some wildlife in the backyard from our window. The indoor pool was the incentive that kept my 4- year old grandson on his best behavior. It was depressing to have to leave. It felt like we were at home.

Beautiful condo, full of amenities, comfy bed, gorgeous views. Perfect for longer stays. We were only there for a couple of nights, making it hard to justify all the air BnB fees, but not the hosts fault. Would certainly rent again when we have longer time to visit my grandsons.

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!

Very calm and peaceful getaway to unwind

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.

We always enjoy staying here when we are in town. Thanks

We loved staying at Deanna’s. The resort was excellent and the kids had a blast. Lots of games in the unit, kitchen was well equipped for 2 adults and 3 kids under 12. Beach was great and when it rained, the heated indoor pool and games room was amazing!
