Family-friendly holiday rentals in Island County

Such a beautiful stay. Great space to hang out and the hot tub was a fantastic bonus. Watching whales with morning coffee made it a perfect morning. Would definitely recommend for this area.

The decor and atmosphere of the cabin was so artsy and fun, and the hosts were kind and helpful. The cabin was super cozy and had just enough amenities—a huge step above camping but charming and grounded in the natural environment. It was a perfect spot to spend extended time in, or to unwind at the end of a long day exploring.

Our family booked a last minute getaway to Karen and Chuck’s home and we had such a relaxing weekend away. Their home truly has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The photos really don’t do it justice! We all slept amazingly well in the comfy beds, listening to the sounds of the waves. We spent our time wandering shops of Coupeville, looking for seals on the deck, enjoying wonderful dinners and playing games together. When we saw there was an issue with the hot tub, our hosts responded lightening fast with a phone call to discuss. We are so thankful to Karen and Chuck for opening up their home to us and we hope to return soon!

This is a gorgeous location with a wonderful view of the water! Super cozy furniture and high quality finishes. Joyce was super responsive and allowed a very late check in. Very grateful she opened up her home for us and we could not be more grateful it was pet friendly. Highly recommend a weekend getaway here!

10/10. Beautiful woods getaway, and like others have said, much bigger than expected. Super comfy bed, great down pillows and comforters, and caring little touches around the cabin. It’s clear the hosts have put a lot of love into this place, and it went a long way to make it feel like home. I loved sitting by the fireplace in the rocking chair reading, with the morning light coming through the windows. There are a lot of windows so it’s drafty - definitely bring layers, and plan to keep a fire going (that means lots of wood!). But it’s warmer up in the loft where the bed is, so sleeping w the warm bedding was cozy. The cooking setup is great, propane is supplied, and plenty of cookware and dishes. Lots of spices, just needed to bring olive oil. The “sink” is a metal tub built into the counter with a catch bucket underneath - worked great. The hottubs are BEAUTIFUL - it took a long time to get it hot and a lot of charcoal, so definitely heed the instructions to tend it vigilantly!

Such a wonderful place to celebrate the holidays with our family. The house had plenty of room for our large group and was very well stocked. There was even a darling Christmas tree in the living, which added to the holiday charm. Can’t say enough good things about this darling little cottage! Thank you so much for sharing the space with our family!

Great stay on Whidbey! It was a very cozy vibe in the house and beautiful views of the lake in the bedrooms and living room. The neighboring houses are pretty spread out and it feels very private looking out towards the lake. The hot tub and fire pit were great to enjoy in the winter. The house was also very well equipped with heating options, it was very warm with the propane stove in the mornings! Patti was very responsive and flexible with our check in. We would definitely stay here again!

This is a great location. We had so much fun exploring the nearby parks and enjoying some nearby restaurants. We also enjoyed hanging out around the hot tub, the fire pit, and the large dining room table inside. There was plenty of space for our four couples. We ate several meals in and enjoyed the peaceful and private location. Martha was great to work with.

Super peaceful place to stay. Becky provides great instructions and thoughtful touches throughout the space. The bed was very comfy and the entire place is very clean. The front porch with the view of the water and beautiful lawn was great. Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful stay at the driftwood for the second time! Excellent location and super cozy cabin, could not recommend it more.

The home is quite nice and well equipped for a large group. We really had no complaints at all. Our team loved. The beach. I enjoyed the large kitchen, and the beds were comfortable. Thanks so much!!

The cottage was lovely. It was perfect for my family trip. It is very close to everything in Oak Harbor, but still very quiet. My son had a blast exploring the farm and looking at the animals.

Kristin was very proactive with instructions for entry and how best to communicate with her so that she could be most responsive to us. The place was charming and held my dear family and pet close in comfort. I especially love the thoughtfulness of having toys available for my littlest (3y) as well as games for us older ones. After all, I’m glad there isn’t a TV available. The wood stove and high ceilings meant we should be gathered together in warmth with our voices and laughter filling the space to get our dopamine fix. We were also glad to be treated to complementary teas and fixings. Such a silent night compared to the sirens and traffic in Tacoma. We found the shower head function options in the lower level to be novel. It was nice to sit as a family at the table (reminds me that we need to fix our at home seating arrangements). Maybe updated natural cooking utensils and a deep dusting would make things perfect (I performed an extraction of dust from the hairdryer to contribute).

We really felt at home for our visit. Highly recommend and will be visiting again and checking availability.

We had a great stay. Mimi was very helpful and responsive. The house had a lot to offer for a family—fenced yard, chickens, fish, and even an outdoor shower. The beach was easy to access and it was a beautiful spot. Our kids especially loved feeding the deer!

It was great staying with Marlyn and Timm. I'll definitely be back to enjoy their beautiful location again! They were very hospitable hosts and made me feel right at home. Thank you!

Kivaans place was perfect for what we were looking for. A place to stay the night while exploring the Olympic peninsula. It was super clean. It is part of a Wyndham resort so it felt more like a hotel, which was great!

The condo was great in every way for our visit and for our purposes. We especially appreciated the comfortable beds, the well-equipped kitchen, the large dining table (instead of the common, but ridiculous Air BnB bistro table that barely accommodates one person), and the good quality linens. Joyce was a great communicator until we checked-out, then I never heard from her again and was hoping to get a response to my messages. Joyce was able to coach me through the TV and DVD player's connections and was able to troubleshoot from afar. This was impressive! This property won't be available for long as it is being sold. That's too bad as we would love to rent it again in the future. Highly recommend Joyce as a property manager.

Our family loved our stay at this beautiful and comfortable house. We had 7 (family of 5 plus 2 grandparents) and there was plenty of room to spread out - but best of all was the beautiful space to be together with a view of the water and mountains. The kids loved watching birds on the sea out one side and ducks on the pond out the other. It being January, we were able to see both sunrise and sunset out the expansive windows. The living room had plenty of seating and a great table for playing board games. The kitchen was well-equipped and easy to use. Bathrooms were clean and had plenty of supplies. Dad & kids walked down to the beach on our 2nd evening and had a good time throwing rocks in the water! The quilts and other decorations make the place feel warm and homey. Lara was responsive when we had a brief issue at check-in and it was resolved within 10 minutes. We hope to be back someday!

Kivaan’s place was absolutely perfect for a 3-day get-away with friends from out of town. The layout is perfect, the view is magical and we would stay there again without hesitation.

We loved our stay at this location. The views are spectacular, including the water, the mountains, the eagles soaring by and one humpback whale! The kitchen includes everything you could possibly want or need--even knives that are sharp! The bedrooms are comfortable as are the common areas. The pool was a major high point for all of us, and the house comes with lots of other fun toys for indoors and out. We plan to return!

Sandpiper Haven was exactly what I was seeking for a Whidbey Island weekend. The floor plan really maximized accessible enjoyment of the cove no matter the weather, and the cottage felt homey and personal in all the right ways. It was well equipped for all sorts of adventures from cooking to kayaking. If you’re at all dreaming of sipping coffee or wine on the deck overlooking the cove, just book it now :)

After a big challenge with a different short term rental company Lorie’s place was a last minute “save the family Christmas weekend” option and it turned out great. Lorie let us book same day and was very responsive. The place was beautiful, wish we could have stayed longer! Thanks for having us.
