Family-friendly holiday rentals in Saanich Core

Excellent value, quaint, quiet and just flat out pleasant. Excellent location and beautiful setting. Can’t wait to return and explore more of Salt Spring Island. What a gem!

Beautiful setting, total privacy. View from hottub at sunset was stunning. Kitchen well stocked with essentials. Beds comfy. Driftwood sculptures added to the cool vibes and the host is a lovely person. You’ll have a fabulous time!

Jane's suite is a perfect place for those who work away from home or want some time off. Quiet, simple and comfortable, with a well stocked kitchen. Communication is efficient abd warm. I would book again.

Caroline's place is peaceful and beautiful - the perfect place to stay while exploring Victoria and all it has to offer. We loved sitting by the windows and watching the birds and boaters outside. Caroline was a helpful and gracious host. Wonderful place!

Had a fantastic time here, will definitely recommend to friends and family. Would love to come back.

Tina's place is a nice 3 level townhouse that was as advertised. It was clean and had everything that we needed. The location is excellent and is walkable to the stores, to Whiffin Spit and is close to lots of other walkable paths. Tina was friendly, texted us to ensure that we got checked in okay and asked if there was anything else that we needed to make our stay more enjoyable. I would recommend Tina's place to anyone looking for a relaxing place to get away.

Was the perfect place for a long getaway weekend with my 85 year old parents and adult children. Quiet, peaceful and beautiful views. Well appointed house and a great spot.

You cannot beat this location. We were super happy with the home and host. Will come back.

This cabin was so dreamy! On our drive in, we spotted a beautiful gray fox and a few deer. The forest surrounding the cabin is just beautiful. The cabin had everything we needed. I thought I wouldn’t like to walk to the bath house, but honestly I thoroughly enjoyed it. It’s only a short walk, and it gives you multiple chances to spot wildlife. The bath house is clean and has everything you need. I especially enjoyed the French press coffee and slow mornings reading in the cabin

Cozy private space in a safe and nice neighbourhood, close to a trail to walk the dog. Stay can be a bit on the noisier side with the highway on the other side of the bushes but did not bother us too much.

Beautiful setting in a very quiet and private bay. Great house, comfortable and well set up. Nigel was great, responsive and helpful. Really enjoyed our stay!

Our stay at Scott’s place for our 1 year anniversary was absolutely perfect. We are so happy we chose to stay outside of downtown Friday Harbor & got to enjoy the island for 3 nights. We will be back to stay here again in the future. Amazingly cozy bed, perfect deck to enjoy morning coffee, sooooo peaceful (soul healing) and we felt so welcome at Scott’s cabin. The kitchen was perfectly equipped for light bites & snacks between meals (for us) with an adorable retro refrigerator. Highly recommend for anyone that is looking to enjoy downtown Friday Harbor + all of the surrounding spots on the island ( Roche Harbor, Westcott Bay Shellfish Farm, Cattle point Road/lighthouse, English Camp, etc). Each stop felt like a very easy drive, and we saw so much unexpected beauty. Thank you very much to Scott and his wife for the PERFECT stay.

Jacky's suite met our, and our small dog's, needs very well. It was clean, comfortable bed (great sleeps), and was thoughtfully appointed. Jacky provided great suggestions on the area. We would certainly stay there again!

Lovely hosts and a lovely place to stay! Trish and Nick introduced us to the property and their 4 legged friends (goats, sheep, and Bella the golden retriever) who we instantly connected with - they are an absolute delight! We had everything we needed for breakfast, including great coffee!, and felt at home right away. Would definitely return and highly recommend. Thank you, Trish and Nick, for a wonderful weekend!

Very spacious and comfortable! nice outside area with lovely birds singing. Easily accessible and lots of amenities. I would stay here again :)

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!

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!

We had a lovely stay at Billie’s Airbnb. The cottage was cute and well set up. Quiet and peace at night - the only sound was an owl hooting in the woods. We also appreciated that Billie welcomed our 160lb Irish wolfhound! We would definitely stay at Billie’s again.

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.

This is our second stay at Paula’s and it is peaceful and serene. A real decompress kind of setting. Don’t hesitate to book this little gem!!

Gramma Rikki has a beautiful home nestled privately in the trees. She has simply thought of everything to make the house accommodating from providing games to having the kitchen stocked with spices and other cooking amenities. The home was even more vast in person than in photos and was cozy and inviting. We hope to come back again when the weather is warmer to enjoy all the property has to offer. Perfect vacation home for bigger families!

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!

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

Our stay here was truly amazing. We were in town for a family wedding which was fun but our stay at this beautiful oasis made it an even more memorable time. We loved all the various spaces available which provided ample space for all of our family (6 of us) to hang out together or just find a cozy space to read and relax. The home is very well appointed and stocked (kitchen supplies & equipment, toiletries, linens, towels) - everything you could think of needing was there. We were nervous about using the pizza oven but Louis and Tasha walked us through how to use it and our home made pizzas were a huge hit! The back yard was indeed a relaxing retreat with the waterfall and natural swim pond, including beautiful vegetation and flowers. The privacy of the space made you forget you were in the city! Our hosts definitely anticipated our every need. Pride of ownership was certainly evident. We highly recommend this to anyone looking for an amazing stay in Victoria!
