Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Ballard, Seattle

We loved staying in Allory's beautiful home! I especially appreciated the rule for no shoes as I knew the space would be clean and feel like home. The large windows let in streams of sunlight and had a great view of the mountains. Hope to stay here again soon!

The home is very quaint with historical charm. It had just the right touch of quirky but still clean and comfortable. The fresh baked treats were a lovely touch. The garden was absolutely beautiful! It is in the perfect location to enjoy the Phinney Ridge area.

Fantastic property in on a quiet street, yet close to all the shops, cafes and attractions in Seattle's Ballard neighborhood. Codi is a terrific host and always responded promptly to any questions. We will definitely rent this home again in the future.

My daughter and I spent a weekend here and loved this home. The layout affords plenty of space while remaining cozy, and it’s comfortable quiet and serene. Loved seeing the bunnies outside the door and in the back yard! Proximity to Discovery Park is a plus. Had everything we needed and was spotless on arrival. Would definitely stay here again and recommend to others!

Irmgard, What a pleasure meeting you was, excited to have found such a gem. The location and hospitality were beyond amazing! A great local feel but close and accessible to the bustling city. Reading the guest books that date back to 2003 warmed my heart and I hope you know how many lives you have brought joy and how many journeys you have aided. Any future guest reading this Bambino’s coffee shop down the way was so yummy and such a vibe. Also definitely recommend the ferry to and back from Bainbridge Island. Thank you again for everything, Irmgard and Ben! (Ben we love your watercolor pieces), Chris (my partner) is also an artist!) Myriah & Chris. <3

Easy simple and comfortable. Thanks Edward!

Our Ballard weekend was lovely! Aimée’s place was great. Would definitely stay again.

Second time staying with Shannon, it was a pleasure. The neighborhood is quiet with several places in walking distance. The apartment is very clean and comfortable. Shannon is an excellent host, quick to respond to any questions. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Nicole's hospitality was the best we've received so far! The space was quiet, coffee ready for the morning and she was very responsive. she also let us know about a pod of orcas moving through the sound! if we go back to Seattle, we'll stay here again.

Great and safe place to stay in Seattle. Enjoyed the house and the location was awesome! Great for taking a bus to downtown but also some fun things within walking distance!

The location was absolutely perfect! So close to green lake. And the place was spotless. I felt very comfortable. Thank you so much Nadia and Rob for hosting. Will stay again!

Scott’s place was a PERFECT home base in Ballard! He was extremely communicative and the location was ideal for getting around — a 10-15 minute walk to downtown Ballard, and convenient access to the 40 and 44 buses. The unit was quiet and had everything you could need to settle in. The bed was comfortable, the shower water pressure was great, and the kitchen had every appliance you would want. 10/10 would recommend staying here!

Julie's place was absolutely perfect! It had every amenity you could need, was super cute, wonderful neighborhood with a great park. Julie was also great with communication. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone. The one thing i would note is that if you're like me and have sensory issues the noise from the tv upstairs might bother you. (I did not say anything about this to Julie because i know it's a me issue) if i ever come back that way which hopefully i will i would love to stay again. Everything was wonderful and you created the perfect home away from home. Every night we actually felt like we were going "home" thanks again for your hospitality!!

Karla’s place was the most well appointed Airbnb I’ve ever stayed in. Every detail, every amenity and then some. Street parking was available in the same spot out front everyday. Quiet. Feels like your perched in a tree on hill over looking Fremont. I’ll be back!!!❤️

Jeffreys home was in the perfect location super close to everything and easy to get. It was super easy to order a Lyft and get dropped off. We especially loved lighthouse roasters, the coffee shop that was at the end of the block. We went every morning. It was such an easy walk to get to. If you are looking for a good burger spot I would highly recommend UNeedABurger we went there twice and the food was delicious. The apartment was very cozy and perfect and the bed was really comfortable. If you are deciding where to stay I highly recommend staying at The Cortado. Thank you so much for allowing us to stay in your home.

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

We absolutely loved our stay! Toni Marie made everything so easy and the apartment exceeded our expectations from all the little touches to the surprisingly comfy sofabed to the serene rooftop. If we had to single out a favorite detail, it’s the big surrounding trees that make the apartment feel like it’s in the middle of a city park. Everything was perfect and we didn’t want to leave!

What a wonderful stay! Place is exactly as described. Immaculate. Comfortable bed and pillows. Great location. Michael is super responsive and helpful! I will definitely book again when I need to come back

We really enjoyed the stay at Brianne’s place, great location surrounded by nice restaurants and cafes, the place is very cozy and clean. We never get tired of the view of the balcony! Highly recommended!!!

Really lovely stay at Rachel's place. Best parts for me was the location (easy walks to all the Winslow has to offer and on/off the ferry to head to the city. The other good parts were the bed (comfy) and the landscaping around the space - very well done. Would definitely stay here again.

We had the most wonderful time staying at Lauren’s place over the long holiday weekend! The condo was lovely, very tidy, and we slept like babies in the super cozy bed. There were plenty of thoughtful touches throughout like flossers/q-tips in the bathroom, candies in the kitchen (a very welcome treat after our travel day), and there were even earplugs in the bedroom 🤣. We also really loved the neighborhood—LOTS of cute restaurants and shops, we really enjoyed the ice cream shop across the street and the yakitori spot a few blocks down. The weather was beautiful while we were there, so we even got to enjoy a beer out on the balcony in the sun. We had a rental car and it was easy to find parking every day (we parked near the high school and never had an issue). Highly recommend booking here for a great stay in Seattle!

Lessley is one of the best hosts I have had so far at Airbnb! She is responsive and proactive. She helps address our questions and requests real quick and kindly. She is detail oriented as well as customer first! The place is neat, equipped thoughtfully and feels like home. It’s quite walkable to many nice restaurants nearby too. We particularly enjoyed the RockCreek and Le Coin both were wonderful! We feel grateful that Lessley had us and helped us every single question and need throughout the five day stay! Really enjoyed it and hope to come back again. Thank you very much Lessley!

Jing was a great host! She was able to accompdate us for early check in! Could not have asked for a better host! The space was clean and tidy, had wifi, and had a killer view of the Space Needle. There was also a washer/dryer and a portable AC unit. Complimentary Hi Chew and water was also a nice touch. The only other accomodation we could have wanted was place to hang out clothes. Not a big deal, but just a convenience. The place was about a 5 min walk to the Space Needle/Chihuly and a 15-20 min walk to Pike's. Having a parking space was key in the city. The parking space was tight and small, but was in a remote accessed garage and felt secure. Had a great time and stay in Seattle. We would certainly stay here again next time we visit!

We were so thankful for Ted’s flexibility. He had the most comfortable pull out couch bed I’ve ever slept on. Finding parking always worked out without a problem. Great location. Comfortable place. It was perfect for my daughters (two 23 years olds) and I!
