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’ve been coming to Orcas for years, but I’ve lost the family home that we used to go to. Staying at Meg and Bob’s felt like family. The kids and I had a blast. (My daughter just shouted “it was awesome!”). This was exactly what we needed! And we’ll be back!

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!

Our host, jacquie was very friendly and knowledgeable about the island. Our cottage felt like we were in a little piece of paradise in the trees. Hot tub views to the ocean were also enjoyed. Thank you for hosting us Jacquie 💕

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 :)

Lovely place, cozy, private with beautiful surroundings. Jane is very welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed. Definitely will stay here again on my next visit.

We loved staying here. The house is great. The front porch, the side deck with grill and sun chairs and outdoor dining is great. The dock on the water is fabulous. Any specific questions or issues were addressed immediately. Its a really lovely spot. You can't do better on Shawnigan Lake!

We had an amazing stay at Scott’s cabin! The place is absolutely adorable—nestled in the woods with a peaceful pond right out our door, it was the perfect nature escape. We booked last minute, and Scott couldn’t have been more helpful and accommodating. The cabin is also dog-friendly, which was a huge plus for us. Everything was clean, cozy, and well thought out. We truly felt welcomed and comfortable throughout our stay. Highly recommend this place, and we would definitely stay again!

Priceless views and amazing architecture are showpieces of this magnificent home that combines coziness, elegance, comfort and rustic charm. We’ve stayed at many airbnbs, but this one is a new favorite. It’s an ideal getaway for the whole family; plus it’s close to interesting hikes and restaurants. The kitchen is well stocked for eating at home. We didn’t enjoy the taste of the well water, but bought drinking water at Tru Value. Carley was very responsive and helpful throughout. We would love to come back in the summer.

Beautiful location. Great spot for our group. Host very friendly and helpful. Thank you for a great stay!

Beautiful roomy space with comfortable beds and furniture. Everything you could possibly need. In a fantastic area close to everything we wanted to do. Stunning backyard! It was a lovely place to sit in the sun while our dogs enjoyed running on the lawn. I look forward to coming back next time I’m in the area.Wonderful place to stay.

Very nice getaway. Would love to visit Point Roberts again just for the nice nature vibe. The cabin was cozy and had everything we needed.

We loved Orcas Island and this airbnb was a great space to call home for a long weekend. It was a quiet, peaceful, beautiful setting. Lots of bird song.

Great place to stay in Sidney. Good walking area for the dogs. Beach is only a couple of short blocks away. Fresh renovations and the gas fireplace made the place a joy to stay at.

Very peaceful place, we really enjoyed our stay there. Also close to everything on the island. Lots of space in and around the house. Michelle, the housekeeper, was very friendly and responsive.

Can’t say enough about our stay!! The condo is a hidden gem with great amenities and comfy beds!! We absolutely loved everything and hope to return soon!

It’s a beautiful place with an incredible view . Paul is straightforward and proactive. It’s a good price compared to Poet’s Cover and right next to the ferry terminal. If you come here I hope the following tips help so you can prepare accordingly: 1. There are some flies and ants inside the cabin. 2. There are absolutely no food items here so bring it ALL down to salt and pepper to coffee to cooking oil to shampoo 3. It’s a tight layout I would say it could fit 3 adults or 2 adults and 2 children comfortably. 4. The pool is seasonal- it’s not open all year round 5. The hot water tank is on its way out or it’s small. It didn’t bother us as it was just my husband and I . It would be an issue for those more than 2 who want to take a bath or shower back to back.

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!

We had a lovely time staying in Tammy’s home. It was really clean and very well stocked with everything we needed. She is very responsive and we were able to check in a bit early on our arrival. The bed is very comfortable and there is a lovely view of the water from the patio. We would definitely stay here again! The resort has a tennis court, lots of grills, one campfire pit, dock for crabbing or boats, beach for clamming. The property is very well kept. Thanks again Tammy for such a lovely stay!

Beautiful property. walking the beach, swimming at the pool, we enjoyed our stay. The accommodation were wonderful. (as described, spacious.) Hope to go again. Thank you Pat for the games and Beautiful kitchen, bedrooms ect.

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%
