Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Orcas Island

We had such a lovely stay. The home is very charming and fully equipped with everything you need to be able to stay in on a rainy day. We loved the location, as it’s right next to a super cute town that has a beach, lots of restaurants and shops and the OI market. Highly recommend this place!

Like a beach house in a movie. Truly beautiful. The spot is quiet and peaceful, nothing to distract from enjoying the ocean. The hosts were super friendly and very responsive to the few questions we had. 👍👍👍

What an amazing home!! We loved the cottage decor with all the little nooks to hang out, books and games, telescope, cozy blankets. The views from the living room and patio were spectacular. We spent our mornings watching hundreds of herons fishing in the low tide! Walking down the beach to the southern point was so quiet and peaceful. Then ending our nights back out on the patio with a fire - such a relaxing time. Dawn’s home was also so great for our pup. He loved basking in the sun on the patio and exploring the water just steps away. Driving the short loop toward the ferry is well worth the amazing view of Mt Baker, and we enjoyed a little ferry trip to Lummi island, although the cottage is so comfortable and relaxing, we would have been happy not leaving at all during the day too!

We had our second family reunion with all the kids coming home from college. We stayed at Anika’s wonderful home on Orcas Island and couldn’t be happier with the house, Anika’s attention to detail, cleanliness and Anika’s excellent and prompt communication. This house has a magic that is relaxing, fun, comfortable and reliable. We will be back in August 2025 for a week!

A beautiful cottage by the sea, with great styling and all the amenities you could ask for, all cleverly hidden away. We opened the door to a beautiful living room, perfect for late night movies, a bottle of wine in the kitchen with any appliance we needed, a spacious shower, and a bedroom with a view right into the water. The hot tub and fireplace were right outside, and the sound of the ocean crashing while relaxing couldn’t be beat. Even though we live just a few minutes up the road, we would consider doing another visit just because of how beautiful the place was and how amazing they were to work with!

We had a wonderful stay and enjoyed every minute. The place was comfortable and exactly like the pictures. We stayed with two young kids who slept on the sofa bed. They had a great night.

my family and I had the good fortune to stay at Ann's place. it exceeded our expectations. The house is spacious, clean ,and very well equipped, and comfortable. The outdoors is beautiful, relaxing and peaceful Ann is a great communicator and responded to us immediately. Thank you Ann.

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

We enjoyed our stay at this clean and cute place. It is peaceful sitting on the deck over looking the lake.

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!

This waterfront inner bay location is an ever changing view of tidal events, birds, and a beautiful garden. Every hour of the day had something different to observe and enjoy. Faces east for moonrise and sunrise views. A lovely setting, kind hosts, and close enough to Edison for dining, art galleries, and a small village stroll. Plus the king bed was incredibly comfortable so sleep was a dream. Recommend adding a visit to Bow Sanctuary sauna and sessions to add a wellness experience.

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.

Beautiful property, peaceful, quiet, and serene. Lots of birds, honey bees in the flowers just outside the window, and hummingbirds. Almost like being in Hawaii if you didn't know it was Washington! Felt right at home, with the special touches like fresh ground coffee, half&half, homemade cookies, and clear instructions/communication about the property. Warm and welcoming couple Terry and Kerry were great hosts! Definitely plan to return should I need a place to stay in Bellingham again.

This place was an absolute dream. Impeccably clean, perfectly designed, and incredibly well laid out—it felt like stepping into a magazine spread. We spent our evenings on the deck watching the sun set over the San Juans, staying cozy with the outdoor fireplace going. Truly stunning. The space had everything we needed and more—thoughtfully stocked, comfortable, and quiet. We also loved exploring the tiny town of Edison—don’t miss the local bakery (we went back twice!) and the brewery/distillery next door made for a perfect low-key night out. No notes—just a beautiful, memorable getaway. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Very cozy and comfortable place to spend time in Bellingham. The walk to downtown is lovely and the location is perfect for exploring the Bellingham area. The bed was comfortable, the shower was amazing. and the cleanliness was excellent. We love to cook and found the kitchen pretty well stocked with the tools we needed for making a few meals. I'd return to stay again in a heartbeat.

Stayed for a week in May 2025. Great location, walking distance to inner harbour, miniature world, Chinatown, and great restaurants close by. Perfect for two couples. Outdoor bar across the street gave us some good people watching from the balcony. Used the hot tub and the condo robes were appreciated! Coffee, tea and some kitchen spices were helpful. Condo safety and parking were excellent.

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

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!

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.

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!

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.
