Family-friendly vacation rentals in Grand Isle County

We really enjoyed Zach's place for the view, the large yard and deck, for the tranquility and for its comfort and cleanliness. The kids had plenty of space to play and run. We were very lucky in getting very sunny and warm weather and coming back to a fresh climatized home to sleep was great. We were travelling with our dog and this place was also perfect for her as she discovered frogs and how to jump like them. Carry bay is a good anchorage and we had our small sailboat anchored not too far from the house. The house is very clean, the beds and beddings very comfortable, the kitchen is particularly well equiped with good pans and knifes, which is not common. Make sure to stop at Savage Garden, the small nearby organic farm where you can buy eggs and vegetables or enjoy their flatbreads on Friday evenings. Carole

Super cute place with everything we needed. Darren could not have been a more hospitable host, even left a super thoughtful gift basket to help us settle in. The backyard is spectacular. Overall a lovely stay!

Christopher was a wonderful and respinsive host. We loved the property it was comfortable with neautiful views.

We spent a lovely weekend at Back Inn Time. My husband and I were traveling around the US on a 30 day Amtrak Rail Pass. We visited big cities around the country - Seattle, San Francisco, Chicago, New York City, Kansas City, and Washington, DC. Our visit to Back Inn Time in St Albans was our oasis of peace. Karen-Marie gave us a warm welcome in spite of our late arrival on the train. Our bed was very comfortable. I had a great soak in the tub and enjoyed the big robe that was provided. It was fun exploring St Albans and great that this was all walking distance from the train. And her breakfasts were amazing! Thank you for a lovely time!

My family and I stayed at Jonathan’s for the weekend and loved our time here. It was cozy and had everything we needed. Johnathan was great host, recommending restaurants and checking in often to make sure we were enjoying our stay. It was the family’s first time in Vermont and Jonathan’s home was the perfect fit. There is a nearby park that’s great for running and dogs.

We chose this camp because it was on the center line of totality for the 2024 eclipse. Neither the camp nor the eclipse disappointed! The camp is on the shore of Lake Champlain. The sunsets on the lake were incredible. Because we were there so early in the season there was no one in the neighboring cabins. It was so peaceful and quiet. Fabien was a great host. He adapted to our travel changes and met us at the camp when we arrived. He had already lit the wood stove. The camp has sulphur smelling water but Fabien provided us with about 7 gallons of bottled spring water to get us started. We thoroughly enjoyed our visits to Saint Albans, Burlington and Grand Isle. Don’t miss Niquette Bay State Park. They have many enjoyable and scenic hiking trails. They are moderately challenging with some elevation change and rocks and roots but nothing requiring specialized gear. Devyn’s Creemees was great! Lines out into the parking lot every evening for maple soft ice cream. Yum!

We rented "The Point" and it was perfect for our needs. The lake is only steps away!! The views of the sunrise, sunset and the stars were beautiful. We only stayed for a long weekend and we were wishing we had planned for an entire week. If you need a place to unwind and regroup, and you like a rustic feel...this is the place.

David's place was perfect for a quiet get away. Cottage as described. very clean. Bed very comfortable. Enjoyed the deck for sitting out at night and starting gazing. Enjoyed the use of kayaks for paddling. Nice spot for bike riding. Easy drive to Montreal for more exploring. Limited for dining out and buying groceries but we'll stocked kitchen with all supplies needed to cook and enjoyed use of onsite grills. will definitely be staying there again. David was quick to respond with clear and concise instructions.

It was a great scenic camp. Robert was very responsive and welcoming. Bring water and bug spray (as you would expect for VT in the summer!)

David’s cabin is well equipped. Everything we needed was provided. The cabin is right near the lake - also near St. Anne’s shrine and Isle La Motte. If you are looking for a tranquil and renewing get-away on water, this is the place. Lake Champlain is magnificent- breathtaking really. From this cabin the entire peninsula is accessible - you can explore North and South Hero as well as Grand Isle. There are many nature preserves all with wildly beautiful views. Next time we will bring our bicycles and keep the car parked! The whole area is bike friendly. I can’t speak to eating out because we love to cook. The cabin’s kitchen has top notch knives and pans. We will definitely be back. 😎

This place is peaceful, beautiful, a gem. I loved hearing the water from the sundeck (porch with windows): looking and hearing the water, feeling so close was a balm and beauty. For those seeking rustic beauty, you cannot do better. The home is well set-up: cozy, stocked, inviting. The sky is full of stars, the tide comes in and out, the woods are just there. David's local recommendations were also outstanding, making us feel like visitors welcomed personally. We followed several of his suggestions at an easy pace: and so soaked in the quaint Brooklyn, WoodenBoatSchool, and gem-of-a-library. It was autumn with some rain, some cool, great beauty always. In other weather we might have done a campfire or bbq. Lovely seats outside. There were more places to sleep than we imagined there might be: it was just my teen son and I, so we didn't even go to the loft. This is a cozy cabin on the sea, with exceptional grounds and a good soul for host!

What a special place! We (and our cat!) enjoyed a tranquil week at North Bay View cottage. The lake view is unbeatable, and use of the beach and water crafts like kayaks and paddle boards is included in your stay. The kitchen is very well equipped for cooking, and the cottage overall is well designed and comfortable. We can’t wait to return!

Well equipped cottage close to the lake. Everything was new and very clean, comfortable beds and large tv.

This was our first time renting an Airbnb property and it did not disappoint. The hospitality we received from the host was amazing!! They were very helpful. The views from the porch were spectacular!! Definitely would recommend this place.

A comfortable, clean, simple cottage with excellent hosts. Simple & rustic outside, clean and comfortable inside

Perfect Perfect Perfect!! Our large contingent wanted to spend time together while on Grand Isle for a family wedding. We could not have found a more perfect spot than 29 West Shore. Large enough but also homey, we could gather together or spread out easily. The home seemed to hug us and/or expand as needed. A beautiful view and plenty of outdoor seating to enjoy it. The kitchen is well equipped with open space across the counter to chat with folks at the table. I could go on and on, we certainly hope to return. Thank you Susan!!

My wife and I stayed for an entire month. The cottage is super nice and very private. The host responded immediately to the power going out in a storm and one other minor issue. We highly recommend this rental and would stay there again anytime.

Million dollar view of the lake. Everything you could need to enjoy. All essentials provided and then some. Truly a lovely house and area. Casa capitano Italian restaurant in town is out of this world fantastic.

This is a treasure of a “family reunion” home and a privilege to be allowed to enjoy it. It is like going back in time to your grandparents’ home. Think gold dixie cup dispenser on the bathroom wall and the chrome covered Kleenex box built into the wall. Pictures of all of the kids and grandkids adorn the surfaces and walls. There is a memory wall of hand prints of children who have gone on to have children of their own. It is a very special place. You feel a warm hug when you walk into the door as you are welcomed to the family. Practical tips: If you are arriving in the dark, the house is the 6th one on the right after you turn onto the street. Each room has its own heater thermostat. We found 65 in the bathroom and 60 everywhere else was just right for us. Costco is 30 mins away near Burlington. We loved our 6 day stay for leaf season. October 10-14 was peak leaf season in 2024. We toured the country-side and Montreal too. Enjoy this home that has been enjoyed for 3 generations!
