Family-friendly holiday rentals in Galiano Island

Really lovely place in Cowichan Valley. Jane was a lovely and kind host. The place was exactly as shown/described, with a well stocked kitchen and a comfortable bed. Would stay here again when we're back in Duncan!

We had an incredible time staying at Katy and Dave's beautiful log house on the Sunshine Coast! Our group of ladies came for a retreat, and the house was perfect—spacious, cozy, and filled with charm. The peaceful surroundings and nature views added to the relaxing atmosphere. Katy and Dave were very accommodating, making sure we had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. We couldn't have asked for a better place for our retreat and would highly recommend this spot for anyone looking to unwind and recharge!

This was our first time in Sooke and we shared Fredrick’s place with a friend we hadn’t seen in years. The warm home like environment, the separate bedroom ,bathroom spaces worked perfectly. The views were wonderful and we dined and explored the area easily. We wished we could have stayed longer.

Where do I start, to describe how amazing our experience was! The house is at the top so you can only see a few roofs. The owners do live nearby and have a wonderful dog that visits if you are OK with him. Location is out of town, but only 30 minutes (residential driving, so speed limit is low) to town. So many natural things to see within 10 minutes or just explore around the house! Lots of games at the house to keep everyone busy if the weather is not great. The only downside, other than not being able to live there full time, would be the water pressure. It was very low and difficult to shower if any other water source was on and also washing dishes was hard. If there is availability, we will be back!

Stayed here while visiting Squamish. Very easy to locate with allocated parking. Entry was separate and easy to use. I felt comfortable and at home here.

Our stay was truly special. The location is perfect—with unobstructed views of the ocean, and the soothing sounds of sea lions and birds in the background. The home is thoughtfully designed, and we had everything we needed to cook and feel at home. The bench with that view felt like a dream, the hot tub was incredibly relaxing, and the outdoor fireplace was the cherry on top. Bree was warm, welcoming, and very kind. We’d love to return!

Our time in Lori and Todd’s place was absolutely lovely. The only bummer was our stay was too short! They are wonderful hosts, quick to respond to inquiries, and going above and beyond to offer suggestions for what to do on the island as well as helping us recover something that was left behind. We loved the access to Moran State Park and the nearby trail to Cascade lake. Hot tub was pretty sweet too. We will definitely keep this spot on the list to return to when we make it back to Orcas Island.

If you wanna feel being at paradise, choose it. a great, friendly, respectfull and wonderfull host. I had my mom birthday there and it was unforgettable trip for us.

Close to town, super clean, beautiful views -- a perfect retreat for the two of us.

Our hosts were very responsive when we communicated. The home had very comfortable beds and it was kept clean. Nice fenced yard for our dog and a walking area at back of house, accessible by gate. Thanks for a lovely stay.

Wonderful suite on the lower level of a character house in East Van. Quick, kind communication.. clean thoughtful space, beautiful little patio zone.. super close to everything on Commercial Drive and just down the road from a fantastic park (open green space, community gardens, tennis courts with views of the mountains!) Mieke was kind to let me check out late as they didn’t have someone arriving today which made my travel much smoother. I’d stay again in a heartbeat. You can hear the family upstairs from time to time but even less than I expected. Bed seemed very new - firm but comfy - having laundry is always a bonus. Loved it all. Thanks!

We had a blast at this comfortable, clean and spacious place. 2 bedrooms & 2 full bathrooms were a bonus. A variety of delicious food in walking distance, the area is definitely vibrant and fun. Comfy beds, especially the one across from the bathroom. Nicely decorated with extras- speaker, world globe, chess. Thank you for welcoming our dog too!

Picturesque scenery and our kid loved the puppies, goats and sheep. Would recommend it to anyone who wishes to unwind and enjoy nature.

Virpi is a helpful, responsive, and accommodating host. We appreciated that the unit is well stocked (lots of extra blankets, enough dishes, laundry detergent that we could use, etc). It's worth noting for us because we are a family of five and have stayed in too many places where this isn't the case! The unit was simple and clean and a great affordable option in the area.

We love staying here! It’s peaceful and relaxing, right off the Galloping Goose for a quick ride or walk and the kids love being able to have a campfire. The place is clean, has everything you need and all the kitchen tools to cook a great meal. Laura is always quick to respond, and my son loved checking out the fire truck!

We had a lovely long weekend at the cabin. David was super friendly and helpful. The location is gorgeous and private. We would definitely stay here again.

This place was perfect for our family of four. we easily felt comfortable and at home. Clean and well maintained. Easy to get to. check-in and check out were easy. Felt very secure. The location is wonderful, incredibly walkable. Close to everything. Would not hesitate to stay again!

Billie’s place was the perfect spot for a trip to Salt Spring Island. Really appreciated the welcome, orientation of the suite and local recommendations. I’d love to stay again and will definitely recommend!

Great space for parents with 3 kids. The kids started each day with a swim. Parking spot was essential and safe. It was in the middle of everything. It was great to have a grocery store around the corner to buy breakfast and fruit for the kids. There was minor noise from the stadium and light rail at night, but we didn’t expect a silent stay so it wasn’t a problem. Was a great place for our needs.

My family of four stayed at Nyna's to attend a wedding over the Labour Day long weekend and enjoy some relaxation time at Rathtrevor Beach. The cabin had an absolutely perfect location for our purposes. It is an easy 20-minute walk to the beach, but we also drove to Rathtrevor whenever the kids insisted on bringing an excessive number of toys to play in the sand. The cabin itself was exactly as described and pictured. We were not entirely sure of our check-in time due to needing to pick up supplies on our way to the cabin, but Nyna still stuck around to welcome us in person upon our arrival and give us a personal tour of the place. She was an extremely responsive and helpful host. We would highly recommend her place to anyone wishing to stay in the area. Thank you, Nyna!

If you are fortunate enough to book Donald’s property, you will not be disappointed. My sister and I booked this unit and were so happy that we did. The property houses many more people, but it was also great for just the two of us. We both had our own bedroom and bathroom. So nice. The location is awesome. We walked on the beach and just relaxed. The pool and hot tub were great. This is a beautiful place and we will definitely be back hopefully. Thanks to Donald and his cleaning lady. Cheers Sandra

Super convenient and comfortable. Enjoyed gas fireplace, pool table and comfortable beds. Host was extremely responsive and helpful. We would definitely stay again.

Place was gorgeous, Iris was a sweet and responsive host. We will be back again 100%

Jack is definitely a super host. Our detailed guided tour and check-in process was super informative and helpful, he showed us everything including how to use his amazing AV TV system. hot tub, pool, beautiful property, laundry, outdoor fire pit and wood stove inside, including kindling and wood. Everything is clean and well kept. hot tub and pool are treated daily and he just refinished the deck So many towels. All the condiments and kitchen Sundries you could need. 2 BBQs! Kitchen is incredibly well outfitted. two tables that together could seat 12 people. We felt very safe and secure with security cameras around the property. Captain Jack's style is reflected throughout the place with cool scuba gear and amazing treasures from.his dives. Jack even lent us a cooler when we went out salmon fishing! awesome property, super host, just a great option whether you're looking for a place just to crash, or a destination where you can spend a few days and enjoy some peace and tranquility
