Family-friendly vacation rentals in Shimoda

It had a lot of amenities

The owner was fantastic and very responsive, even took us to the local grocery store. The house is on the side of the hill in an incredibly quiet and serene location with complete privacy. The outdoor hot bath was incredible, too, and a great way to relax and unwind at the end of the day. Overall it was a great place to stay and would recommend it for anyone staying in Atami.

This stay is absolutely perfect. A perfect, beautiful home that’s a literal skip away from the Mt Fuji Welcome Area. The home was perfect and as described and our host was amazing at what he does. He came and picked us up from Fujikawa station and then drove us back when it was time to leave. Please let him come get you if he offers, you’ll need it! He then provided us a tour of the home, perfectly explained all amenities and how to properly use them. Please respect the home, it is very old and he worked very hard on it. We will be booking this home every time we visit Mt. Fuji in the future!

Fantastic host, fantastic stay in a beautiful home.

12 of us used it, Check-in was smooth and we were able to BBQ right away, so it was a very long time I had a pleasant stay.

It was a very good place to BBQ while looking at Mt. Fuji on the veranda✨ The interior was clean, and we enjoyed the extraordinary experience with the hammock, spacious living room, and veranda sofa. I'd like to stay again.🎵

The beach is right there, you can see the sea even if you are sitting in the dining room, the stars are beautiful, the location was great!It was a family trip for three generations, but I would like to come back again. There is no microwave, so I thought that if you have small children, you need to be creative with your belongings.

Very nice place, great baths and lots of extra options too.

It was good as described.They were very responsive to issues.

We stayed in this lovely home just outside of town, nestled in nature, for one month and felt right at home. Abhi is a most generous and considerate host, he helped us out from start to finish and made sure we had the best time in the Shimoda area. You do not need a car if staying here as the beach and a couple of restaurants are only about a 10 min walk from the house and convenience store about 20 minutes and a couple more good restaurants / bars about 35 minutes. But if you want to visit more sites in the area or go to the grocery store we'd recommend a car. The main reason we were visiting the area was to dive with the huge schools of Hammerhead sharks just off the coast here. Without a car the dive center can pick you up. We highly recommend Abhi's place. good wifi good AC big TV well equipped kitchen washing machine

We had an amazing time during our 3 day weekend ! Place was exactly as per the pictures and we had the feeling of being in another country ! Beach really close by (walkable distance but with hill to get back to the house), convenient store and grocery shopping near by if you have a car. Would happily come back for holidays !

we had a fantastic stay and abhi and his wife were wonderful hosts. my family enjoyed the spacious home which is in the middle of the nature but close to the beach and close to nice cafes. we already want to go back ! thank you so much for the memories.

This was such a wonderful place to stay. The location is so beautiful and peaceful. Kazu is a great host and really helpful. I want to come back soon!!!

We really appreciated Yuji's quick responses, he was very helpful with our booking. The place was very clean and just what we were looking for.

We had an extraordinary experience in the beautiful sea and surrounded by beautiful forests!!The sea is about a 10-minute walk away, so you can go anytime, and it's great to play in the evening (after 16 o'clock)!There is a shop only in the summer, and there is a convenience store, so there is no problem with eating and drinking ^ ^ The owner is also kind and attentive.I'm pretty talkative, but lol 　You can also have a BBQ, but I am grateful that the fire wood was arranged so that it was easier for the owner to make it easier to make fire!! 　As others have said, there are a lot of insects.It's in the mountains, so you can't help it.You should probably take it for granted that you come across a cockroach or taka sigmat in the house.If you can even enjoy it, it's a great deal. 　I want to recommend it because I think I had the best experience in a very great location.

Our stay was perfect! We really really enjoyed the amazing view from the outside part of the house!

I have stayed here many times, and it is my favorite inn.I left something behind at the inn this time, but it was very helpful that they handled it well.

This place is so cool! We loved the vibes and the porch was incredible. We were six and made wonderful Food together here. The host was so responsive and helpful and kind giving us lots of suggestions for places in the area. We would absolutely come back here again! Thank you for such a nice retreat!

Awesome place with a great host. We walked up to the house which was a bit of a hike with bags but always good to get some cardio in. Stunning house that has amazing views. Highly recommend

We had a great time at this beautiful place with kids. The beach is literally couple minutes walk. I would recommend getting some grocery before you arrive as there are not many restaurants walking distance. Hitoshi-San provided local recommendation for restaurants and also was kind enough to clean local Red Sea Brum for BBQ.

We had a wonderful stay at Mitsuko’s house, and the view on the sea was amazing! The house is comfortable to stay for longer periods, with more than enough cooking utensils, cutlery and plates and cups for cooking. Definitely visit the local hotspring, and Manyo park in Yugawara for a relaxed day out. There are also some local busses for commuting to the nearest supermarkets.

Absolutely amazing place to get away. Very quiet, amazing views and the house had all the amenities you could need. Will definitely be back next year.

6 adults and 3 children stayed for 1 night. We went to the field to pick the vegetables we would use for the evening BBQ. The kids had fun putting okra in baskets and getting umbrellas with leaves like Totoro had! There was water nearby, and we watched the dragonflies. It looked like you could enjoy looking for creatures and playing in the water. Most importantly, the organic rice grown here was delicious✨, and both adults and children ate their fill of rice!! When my children are a little older, I'd love to come during the autumn harvest season and the rice planting season. At night, there were few street lights, so it was very dark, and the stars and fireworks were very beautiful. There was no⭐️ air conditioning, only a fan, so it was hard at first (mid-August), but I sweated a lot, and I felt the comfort of the breeze and cold water, and the taste of beer, and I thought this might be the best part of the countryside experience. The host was a very nice person, and when we called out to him, he taught us a lot of things, brought us rice and vegetables, doted on the children like they were his grandchildren, and watched over us from a good distance!
