Family-friendly vacation rentals in University Place

Beautiful home with a peaceful view! Second time we stayed here and it was as great as we remembered! Can’t wait to come back!

Our stay here was absolutely perfect. The place was exactly as described and even better than the photos let on. The place was spotless and the views were fantastic. Lots of detailed instructions and recommendations for things to do in the area. The only mild criticism I would have is that for a $220 cleaning fee we were expected to do much of the cleaning ourselves. We had to wipe all counters/surfaces, strip bed linens, etc. Happy to do these things as I like to treat AirBnb homes as if they are mine, with the greatest respect. However, that was a bit surprising considering the fee amount. Please know, that criticism is BEYOND minor bc the home was absolutely stunning and let me and my friends have a wonderful time in gorgeous surroundings. HIGHLY recommend!

Angela was an amazing host and her place was perfect for our weekend get away. Loved all the space, the front porch and the hot tub was a bonus. Great restaurants within walking distance. Would definitely stay here again.

beautiful. thanks for the goodies. hot tub and outdoor shower were divine.

This "cabin in the woods" is a lovely, peaceful spot for a getaway. The cabin slept our crew of 4 quite comfortably. We enjoyed early morning coffee on the front porch and spent some time soaking in the hot tub. We could easily access the nearby bike/walk trail, which was great! We will come back again.

We loved our stay at Long Lake. It was our 3rd time staying at this location and always an amazing experience. Thank you!

Had an amazing stay! Guest house is tucked away and private, hot tub was clean and comfortable, and house was spotless. Only problem we had were a few ants inside where we collected food waste in a bag by the door, but was quickly solved when we stored it away in the trash cabinet (so mostly our fault). TV is also updated and not the small one from the pictures which was a plus :). Had no trouble finding parking on the street the whole stay, only once did we have to park a block down.

This is great place to unwind and experience the quiet, peaceful surroundings that make Vashon such a nice restful area to visit. I appreciated how friendly the host was and how she shared interesting details about the property and some of its visitors. The space had all the right amenities that made it easy to start enjoying the stay. All you hear is birdsong and the weather. On the third day, I was rewarded with the spectacular view of Mt. Rainier. I look forward to returning to see the property in other seasons.

Amaris is very responsive and helpful and her house is so spacious, clean and well maintained. My kids loved being able to take bubble baths in the oversized tubs and so did I🙂 We also loved the roof top deck and the view was so beautiful especially at night with all the city lights. The beds and comforters were so cozy I want to buy some like that for my own bed! Another thing we loved was after a busy day we could come back to a very quiet peaceful neighborhood home and rest. The location was perfect, within walking distance to all the best restaurants and shops. Lighthouse roasters made amazing coffees and have a really great vibe. We cannot recommend Amaris and her property highly enough. Will be staying there again.

This was always be my favorite Airbnb in equal parts due to the wonderful hosts and the incredible accommodations. Fran and Laurie are very thoughtful and go above and beyond for their guests and they have impeccable taste!

Our stay began with a personal note and pastries from a local French bakery. The space was charming and homey. Renee was very responsive yet respected our space. We enjoyed the patio and garden area which was beautiful. Neighborhood was peaceful and walkable to nearby coffee shops. We left feeling like we made a friend.

Very cute place that did not disappoint. We enjoyed staying here, the area has recently been remodeled, and everything was functional.

We stayed in this place for 52 days. It worked very well for our family of 4 and a small dog. It had plenty of beds, the sheets and towels were very nice quality. The place was roomy and we were comfortable. We missed having a TV in the upstairs because the dog was not allowed in the downstairs. The kitchen was well stocked with plenty of pots, pans, silverware, utensils, etc. There was a gas grill that was nice and an extra propane tank for use when we ran out. It was a quick switch and we appreciated this. It was cold for the area when we were there and the heated kitchen floors and bathroom floors were amazing. There was plenty of parking for our 2 vehicles and a trailer. From the description it was unclear if we could use the garage which we could not. There were several doors to the outside with ample deck and patio area. We needed to extend our state a week and they were flexible for us which was helpful.

We really enjoyed the little Farmhouse. Very private and cozy with the heated floors and the fireplace. Everything you need for a short visit to the island! We will be back ;)

Bethany was great and was very helpful and responsive. I would definitely recommend and looking forward to staying again, thank you!

We had a wonderful stay at Gregg's place. It was peaceful, quiet, clean, and a perfect stay for two! Very close drive to Seattle and Gregg gave us some amazing recommendations on things to do, places to eat, etc. which we really appreciated as it was our first time in this area of Washington! The hot tub was extremely relaxing after a long day of adventuring. Gregg was very responsive and thoroughly walked us through how to work everything in the RV so that we were comfortable. Should we ever find ourselves back in Seattle, we will definitely book again as we truly enjoyed our time here!

We had a wonderful stay at Laura’s house in Harstine Pointe. The location near the beach, lagoon and bluff trail was fabulous. The separation between upstairs and downstairs, with a bathroom, bedroom and living area on each floor was great for two families, and all was clean and in good condition. The view of the sound from the living room was beautiful! Thanks for the great stay!

The home is gorgeous. So tranquil and peaceful -- my family took a week-long vacation on Vashon and Brita's was the perfect jumping-off point. The location is super private, the home architecture is extraordinary, and the backyard garden is expansive. If you're looking for a great place to rest and recharge, this is it. There is a lot of great dishware, artistic elements in the home, and incredible views throughout the home, especially in the kitchen and upstairs bedroom.

ashley & mike's place was very clean! we had enough room for everyone in my party to have their own bed, and most things were walkable! the neighbors in the condos around us were a bit loud, but nothing too much. wonderful place & wonderful hosts.

Great place to host my family get together with plenty of space and accommodating kitchen for meals

The host met me when I arrived to show me around and made me feel right at home. Also, the hosts had left croissants, fruit and yogurt for me as well as fresh flowers on the kitchen table. It's amazing how much difference those little touches can make - I felt welcomed. The property was just as advertised and fit my needs perfectly. The only drawback for me is that the bed has a Tempurpedic (or similar) mattress, which I don't find comfortable, although I know many others like them. Because of the mattress I probably would not stay again - but that is the only reason, everything else was wonderful.

I am going to g to try to stay here every time I visit Seattle. Emma made the stay super easy to understand and was perfect.

Peter is an excellent communicator! When we drove up to the home's gate we were very pleasantly surprised!!! The house is beautiful, very clean, and has an amazing view, plus we thoroughly enjoyed the pool and hot tub. There's also a two-person hammock, pergola, various outdoor chairs and tables. The kitchen was very well-stocked and we loved all the art and cookie jars throughout the indoors. We've stayed at many Airbnbs and this property is the very best! You will not be disappointed. Near there is the Wild Felid Advocacy Center (book a visit online) that shelters tigers, mountain lions and other large and small cats. If you go there make sure you watch road signs and addresses since our navigation took us elsewhere. The only marker for WFAC is a cat paw print at car-height. What heartwarming memories we built there during our vacation. Paradise, simply put. Thank you, Peter.

Everything was AMAZING! House was fully stocked, super clean, beds were comfy and nice corner view of the water. A greeter was outside waiting when we arrived and helped us get all checked in. Location couldn’t get much better, walking distance to just about everything. Building itself felt very safe for being in downtown. On the note about downtown it is very loud, but that is to be expected. We had such a pleasant time. Gale was very responsive and helpful in every way. We would recommend to everyone!
