Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Orcas Island

Carol once again showed why she is the host we compare ALL others to. Her attention to detail and comfort for all her guests keeps us coming back time and again. Thank you, Carol, for always ensuring we have the most wonderful experience each and every time we are there! You are by far and away the best host out there! Brian and Kimberly Charest

We had such a lovely stay. The home is very charming and fully equipped with everything you need to be able to stay in on a rainy day. We loved the location, as it’s right next to a super cute town that has a beach, lots of restaurants and shops and the OI market. Highly recommend this place!

Like a beach house in a movie. Truly beautiful. The spot is quiet and peaceful, nothing to distract from enjoying the ocean. The hosts were super friendly and very responsive to the few questions we had. 👍👍👍

What an amazing home!! We loved the cottage decor with all the little nooks to hang out, books and games, telescope, cozy blankets. The views from the living room and patio were spectacular. We spent our mornings watching hundreds of herons fishing in the low tide! Walking down the beach to the southern point was so quiet and peaceful. Then ending our nights back out on the patio with a fire - such a relaxing time. Dawn’s home was also so great for our pup. He loved basking in the sun on the patio and exploring the water just steps away. Driving the short loop toward the ferry is well worth the amazing view of Mt Baker, and we enjoyed a little ferry trip to Lummi island, although the cottage is so comfortable and relaxing, we would have been happy not leaving at all during the day too!

We had our second family reunion with all the kids coming home from college. We stayed at Anika’s wonderful home on Orcas Island and couldn’t be happier with the house, Anika’s attention to detail, cleanliness and Anika’s excellent and prompt communication. This house has a magic that is relaxing, fun, comfortable and reliable. We will be back in August 2025 for a week!

We had a wonderful stay and enjoyed every minute. The place was comfortable and exactly like the pictures. We stayed with two young kids who slept on the sofa bed. They had a great night.

my family and I had the good fortune to stay at Ann's place. it exceeded our expectations. The house is spacious, clean ,and very well equipped, and comfortable. The outdoors is beautiful, relaxing and peaceful Ann is a great communicator and responded to us immediately. Thank you Ann.

House was great! Well stocked kitchen, very clean and comfortable, and the view was amazing!

In a beautiful spot with views over Lake Campbell we felt right at home as a family of 4. The accommodation is spacious and immaculate, with everything we needed. The gardens are manicured and it was relaxing to sit on the patio and take in the view. Gary and Ginny were great hosts, setting a sofa bed before our arrival and great to chat with Gary as we left. My Erie and Deception State Parks are stunning, with plenty of good walks, great views and an ease short drive from the property. A gem of a place from which to explore.

Such a cute place. It has an open layout and very clean and in a great area. Nice view of the water and walkable. It was nicely stocked and homey. Yes you can heat the trains but it didn’t bother us. We use a sound machine at night. I would stay here again.

Linda and Jay's place was outstanding! The special touches and attention to detail made us feel right at home. It's obvious that Linda and Jay put alot of care into making their place as comfortable and inviting as possible for their guest! The gardens are absolutely beautiful! The apartment is pristine and super nice!! Such a beautiful place all around! Enjoyed our stay very much!! Loved the homemade bread! Delicious! We recommend staying here one hundred percent!!

This waterfront inner bay location is an ever changing view of tidal events, birds, and a beautiful garden. Every hour of the day had something different to observe and enjoy. Faces east for moonrise and sunrise views. A lovely setting, kind hosts, and close enough to Edison for dining, art galleries, and a small village stroll. Plus the king bed was incredibly comfortable so sleep was a dream. Recommend adding a visit to Bow Sanctuary sauna and sessions to add a wellness experience.

Peggys was such a wonderful host and a great communicator. The studio was very clem and the location was spot on. It was very close to everything especially the ferry harbor, which was super convenient for us since island hopped everyday. Would recommend and definitely would stay again.

Terry and Kerry are great host. Beautiful garden and property. My Almost adult daughter loved the swing my wife loved the garden and I loved it all. We got a bottle of wine and snack dinner one night. We sat at the little table and eat our dinner. We are from TX where you can’t sit outside for 2 hours and not get destroyed by mosquitoes . As a family we’ve stayed in 50plus Airbnb’s and this one is top 5 we will be back in September for college move in

This place was an absolute dream. Impeccably clean, perfectly designed, and incredibly well laid out—it felt like stepping into a magazine spread. We spent our evenings on the deck watching the sun set over the San Juans, staying cozy with the outdoor fireplace going. Truly stunning. The space had everything we needed and more—thoughtfully stocked, comfortable, and quiet. We also loved exploring the tiny town of Edison—don’t miss the local bakery (we went back twice!) and the brewery/distillery next door made for a perfect low-key night out. No notes—just a beautiful, memorable getaway. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.

My girlfriend and I had a great time spending our anniversary here. Very relaxing and a perfect couples getaway.

This place lives up to its name, Hidden Gem. With the shrubs and bushes around the property and the terrace give total privacy as well as the beautiful sounds of birds and the odd passing squirrels and deer. Even being above quite a busy street, it is peaceful and relaxing. The apartment is really comfortable and has everything we needed for the 10 days we stayed. The proximity to town as well as some lovely nature walks and easy access to the walk along the Boulevard is wonderful.

Stayed for a week in May 2025. Great location, walking distance to inner harbour, miniature world, Chinatown, and great restaurants close by. Perfect for two couples. Outdoor bar across the street gave us some good people watching from the balcony. Used the hot tub and the condo robes were appreciated! Coffee, tea and some kitchen spices were helpful. Condo safety and parking were excellent.

Great pool and gym, quiet corner of a busy street, walkable everywhere and most of all an incredible friendly host

Debbie's place was in a great location - 5 minute walk from the ferry and an easy walk to shops and restaurants. It was clean and comfortable. Make sure you ask right at check in for the murphy bed to be unlocked if you will need it (I had let her know ahead of time, but still had to ask when we got there for it to be unlocked)...that would be a mess if you find out that it is locked late at night when you're ready to get into bed. There is some road noise for the person sleeping in the living room, but it mostly disappeared after 10 PM and the white noise machine I brought with me took care of it before then. Overall, the place was perfect for our needs

The only complaint I have is the bed in the bedroom. Could not sleep on it very squeaky, wiggly, mattress very lumpy.. needs a foam mattress and new frame. It was so uncomfortable. Thank god the couch was comfortable. Hopefully he will replace the bed by the next time I stay.

We had a wonderful stay! Super clean, easy access to downtown Friday Harbor. Highly recommend!

What a great location, beautiful, comfortable space. Loved the steam shower. We'll be back.

We had a great weeklong stay at Sunset condo. It was so comfortable and spacious. The view was great and true to the name… the sunsets were awesome. The hosts have really thought of everything to make their guests stay easy. All the thoughtful touches were really appreciated. The full size kitchen has everything you need, the bathrooms are well stocked and the beds and bedding are super comfortable. We really enjoyed walking in the Madrona beach neighborhood and on the public beach which is just a few steps away. This is a relaxing getaway spot. We highly recommend Maryln’s place!
