Family-friendly vacation rentals in Helsinki

We spent a wonderful week at Ami’s cottage and had a fantastic time relaxing in the hot tub and sauna. Ami was an excellent host, maintaining clear and prompt communication throughout our stay. Highly recommended!

Modern style home in a beautiful and peaceful location. Great design elements including furniture and floor to ceiling windows. We loved relaxing with the tranquil views and enjoyed time on the lovely covered deck area. It was wonderful to eat outside even when occasionally drizzling and not worry about getting wet. Hosts were very responsive and friendly. We were able to buy all of the food we needed at the tiny market a couple of blocks from the home.

Samuli is the nicest host you could meet. He made us feel at home and he tool the time to show us everything (and tgat was a lot) absolutely awesome experience!

Third visit to this cabin already. It has been great each and every time!

Very nice house, which is perhaps even better live than in the pics. In addition, Jari is a very polite and friendly host. The entire group of ours was very pleased with everything. I can warmly recommend the house and the host!

I travel extensively and this was the best Airbnb I’ve ever stayed in. Apartment is better than the photos and Pihla is excellent at responding.

We were able to relax superbly in the Marius cottage by the water. Every day the deer say good morning and we were able to go out with the rowboat. The sauna is great. There are lots of pans and ways to barbecue. There is no cooking option, but a kettle and microwave are available. It was a great fit for us. Mariu is helpful and was always available for questions. We will be happy to come back.

The place matched the description well. The cottage was well-equipped and located in a quiet area. We came by public transportation and it was easy to find the station. The yard was beautiful in early spring and it was nice to grill before a dip in the hot tub. We had a great time in the urban cottage.

A fantastic stay in an ideal location. Traveled with my husband and two teenagers and we all felt right at home, straight away. Thanks for everything!

We had a great stay at Sampsa's place. We were welcomed in in person and made to feel right at home. The apartment was cosy and we enjoyed using the projector to watch films. there were swings nearby for our child to play, and a beautiful lake to walk around.

We found this house perfect for a "workation", as we enjoyed the beautiful lake and the garden, as well as the living room for working from our laptops. There's an amazing amount of natural light, the house has warm colors, and nice plants. We recommend trying the boat, it's very fun.

I enjoyed my 6 night stay here and loved the location of the apartment. It was mostly organized and clean, but the apartment definitely feels lived in. The printed house manual is very outdated and it didn't seem to have many extra towels, linens, etc. In reading the listing description, I had also expected a different kind of communication. I booked the apartment 4 months in advance and never heard from the hosts - just their co-host that was super responsive. I also couldn't find the dryer so I didn't end up doing laundry. Overall, I would recommend.

Excellent authentic flat with amazing views and walkable to public transport. Great little cafe 1 min away with amazing lake views. Would definitely recommend.

Fantastic place by the lake. We were 9 people and there was plenty of space, indoor and outdoor. We had a great time 😀

Iiris and Josh’s place was clean, comfortable, and perfect for our trip. We were traveling with a young toddler, and our hosts provided essentials as well as some thoughtful toys for her. We enjoyed walking around the city during our stay, but it is also fast and easy to get around using the tram stops nearby. Iiris and Josh were very responsive to messages in the app, and everything we needed to know was covered in the detailed house manual.

We had the best stay!!

Everything is as promised in the listing. I have stayed at several other properties in the area in more recently built apartments; compared with them, I found the ambience of this building from the 1800s worth experiencing (since it is renovated to include all modern conveniences). It also stayed a bit cooler in the summer heat and was more spacious.

Perfect sized villa for two and the pool + wood heated sauna aced the whole thing. Absolutely worth a stay!

Apartment is very individually furnished. Nice contact with Antti, who also picked us up from the ferry. The area in which the apartment is located is very accessible by tram from the center.

Great house for families with wonderful pool and sauna. Safe and beautiful environment with playground and beach nearby. Shops also accessible. Great vibe sitting outside on the patio in the evenings. Could easily stay another week here!

In a wonderfully peaceful place! The wood sauna had good steam. Everything you need was found in the cottage! Very flexible check-in. Responding to messages quickly and the info message was really comprehensive.

If you want a traditional cabin in the woods with mod cons then this is the place for you. The cabin is ideally located to explore all of Southern Finland, and when you're done for the day the supermarket is either on your way back or a 5 minute detour. The location is quiet and peaceful. We were lucky with the weather so were able to sit out most evenings with a glass of wine and enjoy the serenity. The cabin has everything you need, and the bathrooms have been well thought through. Matti offers use of the Hot Tub, and Boat for a small fee, and the first pack of logs fort the sauna or wood stove are included. The lake is literally 50m from the door, but you are far enough away that the Mosquitoes aren't a problem. Although we don't have children the extra touches for children are great.

Great surroundings and a peaceful cottage. Rarely atmospheric hut :)
