Kid-friendly holiday rentals in San Juan Islands

I can't say enough good things about this house. It is such a special spot. From the minute we walked in we felt right at home. What stunning surroundings. The location is so quiet you can hear all of nature around you. We saw river otters and seals from the awesome deck, so many varieties of birds and critters. Seriously do yourself a favor and visit this place. I'm already planning our return and I got home yesterday.

We’ve stayed at many airbnbs and this is the best one in terms of the hosts warmth, consideration and responsiveness. We felt at home right away! There were so many thoughtful touches in the home down to last details. We had a welcome note waiting for us on arrival and eggs from Eric’s farm. It’s also a very beautifully designed home. There are skylights in the bedroom so when we woke up felt like we were in the forest. There were many birds chirping outside in the morning even spotted a wood pecker. Also Eric has two adorable dogs that came to welcome us when we got there. My daughter used some of the guide books to plan our hikes- all in all it was an amazing stay. Anything we could possibly need for our stay was in the house including an amazing shower after hikes, binoculars and hiking poles. It was so beautiful we never wanted to leave!!

Fantastic stay! Omar was friendly, responsive, and thoughtful. The home was comfortable, clean, spacious, and the waterfront location is superb. A perfect getaway. Would love to come back.

Great place to stay in the middle of the village. Convenient walk for groceries and restaurants. Very quiet at night. Well lit loft with skylight for star gazing. Linnea was proactive in ensuring we had everything we needed for our week-long stay.

Amazing stay with family. Everyone including the kids had a wonderful time. We had great weather in May and got to take advantage of the beach and kayaks several times. Nearby golf and tennis was great, two guest played 9 holes and a bunch of us played pickleball. Everyone was sad to leave and we all said we would love to come back. Such an amazing property in a beautiful corner of the world. Thanks for sharing it with us!

Super relaxing place to stay. Very clean and stocked with top notch amenities.

The getaway you didn’t think you needed until you’ve escaped. Well designed, connected with nature and didn’t want to leave.

House was great! Well stocked kitchen, very clean and comfortable, and the view was amazing!

We had a wonderful stay! The garden was beautiful and peaceful. Hannah and Tom were fun to chat with and we loved hearing about the hard work they’ve put into the place over the years. Would stay again.

In a beautiful spot with views over Lake Campbell we felt right at home as a family of 4. The accommodation is spacious and immaculate, with everything we needed. The gardens are manicured and it was relaxing to sit on the patio and take in the view. Gary and Ginny were great hosts, setting a sofa bed before our arrival and great to chat with Gary as we left. My Erie and Deception State Parks are stunning, with plenty of good walks, great views and an ease short drive from the property. A gem of a place from which to explore.

Beautiful property—neat little nook tucked into the hillside. We really enjoyed the gas firepit on the patio! Really lovely place for adults to stay, slightly challenging with an infant because washing bottles is hard in the sink and the shower head is quite high so no ideal way to bathe the baby. Would highly recommend for adults or families with older children though! Property was gorgeous and the space very comfortable and romantic feeling. Hosts were very accommodating and set up a pack and play for us and were responsive and helpful when needed. We saw so much wildlife on the property it was very peaceful. Thanks! Hope to return!

Linda and Jay's place was outstanding! The special touches and attention to detail made us feel right at home. It's obvious that Linda and Jay put alot of care into making their place as comfortable and inviting as possible for their guest! The gardens are absolutely beautiful! The apartment is pristine and super nice!! Such a beautiful place all around! Enjoyed our stay very much!! Loved the homemade bread! Delicious! We recommend staying here one hundred percent!!

Vicki is the consummate host and truly an ambassador for Orcas Island. She makes sure that you have the best guest experience but also have your privacy. She gives excellent recommendations for excursions and restaurants. Robin Song Studio has breathtaking views of the water and is nestled in the forest. It is such a cozy place. We had such as peaceful and relaxing stay. Thank you, Vicki!

Beautiful little place, private & clean, beautiful garden as well. Inside is beautiful and modern small but private and peaceful. Christine is very helpful and check in was very easy. Definitely would come again.

Peggys was such a wonderful host and a great communicator. The studio was very clem and the location was spot on. It was very close to everything especially the ferry harbor, which was super convenient for us since island hopped everyday. Would recommend and definitely would stay again.

The Tended Thicket was Great. Excellentstay, the place was exactly as described and Doris was a great host. Kitchen was stocked with cold drinks, coffee, tea and snacks. Bathroom had any item you might have forgotten. Went one of the local recommended restaurants and it was excellent. Such a thoughtful host. Will definitely stay here again!

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!

The Inn on the Harbor was a perfect weekend getaway spot. Super clean and comfortable with great water views. Check in was made really easy and Tracey gave great directions ahead of time. Downtown Blaine is very walkable from this spot. We will be back!

The only complaint I have is the bed in the bedroom. Could not sleep on it very squeaky, wiggly, mattress very lumpy.. needs a foam mattress and new frame. It was so uncomfortable. Thank god the couch was comfortable. Hopefully he will replace the bed by the next time I stay.

We had a wonderful stay! Super clean, easy access to downtown Friday Harbor. Highly recommend!

What a great location, beautiful, comfortable space. Loved the steam shower. We'll be back.

We had a great weeklong stay at Sunset condo. It was so comfortable and spacious. The view was great and true to the name… the sunsets were awesome. The hosts have really thought of everything to make their guests stay easy. All the thoughtful touches were really appreciated. The full size kitchen has everything you need, the bathrooms are well stocked and the beds and bedding are super comfortable. We really enjoyed walking in the Madrona beach neighborhood and on the public beach which is just a few steps away. This is a relaxing getaway spot. We highly recommend Maryln’s place!

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.

George’s home had plenty of space for my husband and two adult kids. It was super clean and easy to walk to everything we needed, including car rental when we needed it for the day. He also provided a great list of resources for us get acclimated. I can’t remember how it was noted, so I’ll point out the bunkbed room is connected to one of the larger bedrooms, rather than its own entry. We’d totally love to use this space again if it’s available and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to friends and family.
