Family-friendly holiday rentals in Des Moines

Super sweet place in a great, quiet area. Great communication from Host Justin.

Our family of 6 stayed here for the weekend to do your typical Seattle stuff and loved this home and neighborhood. This is a very quiet, safe, and walkable neighborhood. It was really clean, and we especially loved the top floor with the hot tub, balcony overlooking the sound, and the living room which was the perfect place for family game night! This place was everything the listing claimed to be and a great place to stay!

Beautiful place to stay! Great local recommendations, lots of board games for the family, hot tub is an amazing amenity!

I LOVED staying here… felt snuggled in by the forest. So many extras to make me feel so comfy and welcome. Extremely comfortable and slept really well, which is unusual for me. Also had a great hike from their property to the state park! Highly recommend!

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.

Our 6 kids were in absolute heaven going from the sport court, to the yard games, to the hot tub, to the lake…they were totally entertained and said they wish they had such comfy beds at home! A big thank you to our hosts, we will definitely be back!

Very cozy and comfortable. The hot tub was a PERFECT touch for those chilly drizzly nights and the bus stop being so close was very handy :) Errin was easy to talk to and always had everything we needed! There was also a lot of places to eat and a grocery store really close. We’d highly recommend this place and Errin.

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.

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.

Kelly's place was perfect and our four-legged friends loved it too1

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.

Cul-de-sac amidst gorgeous views and peaceful surrounds, if that is what you're looking for, along with a very accommodating host, look no further!

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 ;)

Such a nice, comfortable place to stay! Check in was easy and the place was nice and clean. They provided creamer for us in the fridge for our coffee which was a nice touch:) Luke was very accommodating and helpful with everything we needed--great, cozy space and would stay again!

Great stay on all fronts - accommodations were clean, communication stellar, and unbeatable location

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.

Quiet larger clean apartment. I only used one of the two bedrooms (the larger one) - bed was comfortable, and it had the adjoining bathroom. there was a washer and dryer for my use and a full kitchen. Good communication to get to the location. Covered parking lot which I used. Location in unbeatable in downtown Bothell. I walked to a restaurant for dinner about 2 blocks max.

Lovely condo in Belltown near all the attractions! Loved the included parking for one car. Super secure building! The condo itself was great, plenty of space for four adults! Nice amenities including gym and pool and hot tub! Very walkable location! Would definitely stay again next time we are in Seattle!

My daughters and I truly enjoyed our stay in Seattle, and staying at Emma's place very much contributed to our enjoyable trip! She was so responsive throughout the booking and trip planning process, and was incredibly flexible with our checkout process. The condo was comfortable, in a great location for walking to various activities, and close to many restaurants. Emma was a great host - would definitely stay at a property of hers again in the future when I'm in the area again.

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!

The view was amazing and the location easy to find. If we had the time and the weather was nice we would just sit out on the balcony and just watch the marketplace bustle. The space was clean and many essentials were provided. We utilized the pool/hot tub/gym daily which was super nice after all the walking we did during the day. Target being downstairs was also very convenient especially since I needed to grab another luggage cause I ran out of space in the one I brought. The only complaints I might have is that it can be quite loud at night and I was woken up quite a few times. However, ear plugs are provided though I didn't use them because they get uncomfortable after a few hours. We had no actual issues but it can also feel a bit unsafe at night if you're out late due to the homeless population though that is not a fault of the hosts. Despite that I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. Just the view and convenience outweighs anything else.

This was my 3rd time staying at Kim’s place! This place is great, as it is very walkable to shopping and restaurants and it’s always super clean! Kim is very quick to respond to my questions.

It was quite and had all we needed. We were attending a festival a few blocks away so it was very walkable for our needs with plenty of resturants in walking distance. When we had questions Annie responded and was helpful.
