Family-friendly vacation rentals in Salt Spring Island

We had a wonderful stay! We loved that there are trails accessible by foot from the cabin. (Just walk up the gravel road about 3 minutes.) We discovered that a great morning routine for us was to have coffee, walk through the forest, enjoy the morning light on the ocean, and head back to the cabin for breakfast. Peaceful and relaxing :) Henny is a great host. She shared a ton of wonderful information about places to go and yummy restaurants on the island. The cabin itself is cozy, charming, and quiet. The bed is comfortable, a high priority for me! We also appreciated that we could bring our dog and that she could be off-leash in the grassy area around the cabin.

I stayed here with my Mom and two sisters- it was perfect! The hot tub overlooks the beach and is under a gorgeous canopy of trees that kept us dry from the rain. We had hummingbirds and quails visit us while we ate breakfast on the patio under a wisteria tree. The house is very cozy with everything you need and so many interesting things to look at. We went to Duncan and spent the day at the Farmer's Market, then had dinner just down the street, overlooking the water, while watching seals and birds fish. We are already discussing making the trip an annual event and plan to go again next year!

We enjoyed a quite few days on the point. The property is beautiful with lots of options for accessing the water. We enjoyed staring at the strait from the hottub and looking for otters as well as plenty of other sea life post hiking nearby. Hosts are friendly and welcoming. The loft is cozy and well equipped. We will come back!

We had a great stay. The surroundings were peaceful and relaxing, with great views. The bed was super comfortable and the place was equipped with everything we needed. Jacquie's a great host, very friendly and kind, and had great suggestions for what to do on the island. Would definitely go again.

Liza's place was perfect for a relaxed and secluded weekend getaway. The views were great for reading, working, and outdoor activities. The sauna and hot tub were cherries on top :)

Third time here now. A private oasis in Duncan. Close to downtown but far enough to feel away from the bustle. Next time in Duncan hopefully it will be available again! Great spot! Thank you Jane! Bryan and Gail

Carol has a fantastic place on Pender that we loved staying in for a few days. Duch beautiful views from the house, and great, quiet location. Carol was very responsive and a wonderful host to us for the weekend. Thanks so much!

We had a great time at Lydia’s farm cottage. We enjoyed meeting the goats and pot bellied pig. The garden out back had great strawberries and blackberries, as well as others. The location was great for our kayaking and whale watching trips out of Deer Harbor, as well as great hiking at nearby Turtleback mountain. All in all, a quiet and relaxing home for our first visit to Orcas Island.

Lovely, relaxing weekend at Scott’s cabin. The tiny home had all we needed and our leashed dog was welcome in their yard. We were a little ahead of tourist season, so it was a little too cool to enjoy the lovely deck. A great location, central to everything!

Great place. Would be happy to go back.

Cute cabin, perfect for the two of us to stay at. Sheila communicated quick and helped us with any of our needs! Thank you Sheila!

We had a glorious few days at Nigel’s San Juan property. The location can’t be beat, the house very comfortable, and Nigel was extremely helpful throughout our stay. Don’t pass this one up on your next visit to San Juan!

Gorgeous location, comfortable accommodation, welcoming host--Seal Beach cottage exceeded our expectations and we had a fabulous weekend. Thank you for the warm welcome, Lois!

I have to say that this was the BEST Airbnb experience I’ve ever had. Everything was so artfully curated and I felt like I never wanted to leave. Kate is a great person and I would definitely recommend taking her up on her horse lessons. I’ve been riding my whole life and she is a fountain of knowledge in so many ways. I would definitely recommend coming to stay at her cottage and see for yourself the care and beauty of the land and what orcas has to offer. I will definitely be back!

An all around great place. Located within walking distance to the water and restaurants and all the amenities you could possibly need for your stay.

We had such a lovely and relaxing We had such a lovely time at Charles and Kristy’s, exactly what we needed for a getaway from city life for a few days! The house had everything we needed to feel right at home, and oh the views!! When not enjoying the serenity of the home and its amenities, there was plenty to do in the charming downtown area of Friday Harbor and all throughout the island. Us humans and our pup loved every moment of our stay!

We had a wonderful stay. Carlene was easy and quick to communicate such, the cottage had everything we needed, and we loved sitting on the deck enjoying the view. The resort the cottage is part of was helpful since we had our 10-year-old with us. The pool is a big reason we booked here, and the lawn games were an extra bonus we hadn’t expected. We even got to see an otter below the marina dock on our first day - a perfect sighting in Otter Bay!

It is a beautiful place to stay. We really enjoy the ocean. would like to come back again.

Derek’s place was very clean and cozy. It was very welcoming and we felt like home when we stayed at his place. My family were very comfortable while staying there and Derek was also easy to communicate wiith. Overall we had a wonderful time.

Place was gorgeous, Iris was a sweet and responsive host. We will be back again 100%

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!

We had a fantastic stay at Jane's place! The house was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a great visit. Jane was incredibly accommodating and even allowed us to check in earlier than the scheduled time, which was a huge help. The location was perfect, and we felt right at home. Highly recommend staying here if you're in the area!

I had a wonderful stay at this beautiful BnB! The place was exactly as pictured—clean, cozy, and thoughtfully decorated. The host was incredibly friendly and easy to communicate with. They were always available to answer any questions and made sure everything went smoothly throughout my stay. I highly recommend this place and would definitely stay again!

Deanna was a great host. She was friendly and responsive. The property was well kept and clean and it was nice and quiet during our stay. The kitchen is well stocked with appliances, cookware and utensils. Unfortunately, we didn’t get much of a chance to enjoy the facilities on site but my kiddo had fun playing basketball. Deanna provided a wagon full of toys/sports equipment for guests who wish to use them. The location was easy to find and has beautiful surroundings. There is also a nice private yard right outside the unit’s front door.
