Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Salt Spring Island

Beautiful Getaway! Our family of 5 (2 adults, 5-year-old, 1-year-old, small dog) spent American Thanksgiving week at Carley's place on Pender Island and had an amazing and relaxing week of family time. The house is even more unique (in the best possible way) than the pictures show, the views are amazing, and the kids spent days just exploring the space. We hiked each day, explored the island, and enjoyed the sunsets and fireplace. The hosts are communicative, and the place has all the amenities you could need. 10/10 would recommend and hope to come back again!

Helen’s place was great for our family stay of five adults, and we especially appreciated that each bedroom had its own bathroom and shower. The neighbourhood was quiet and peaceful. The unit was clean and fresh, and furnishings looked and felt new. We had no problems at all, and would book again. Helen et. al were responsive to our questions, and provided necessary information in a timely manner. I would recommend that everyone check out this listing for their own visit needs.

Seymour was responsive and check-in was a breeze. We felt right at home in the tidy house with spacious rooms. The labels around the house were helpful and unobtrusive. Great location for tourists, and nature lovers. Shopping, dining and a lovely coffeeshop near by. Comfortable beds and linens. This was definitely the best Air B&B I’ve stayed in and hope to stay here again each time I return to the island.

What can I say about this place….its stunning!! This beautiful Victorian home sits on a huge, beautifully landscaped lot. Everything was spectacular! We enjoyed playing bocce ball, seeing the mini horses; Guinevere & Lancelot, and of course Juno!! Such a lovely dog, and welcome wagon mascot. Thank you for everything Wendy. We absolutely enjoyed our stay.

The River House was the perfect home base for our family’s BC getaway. There was more than enough space for the four of us and our small dog, including an extra bedroom for the kids to have a sleepover when they wanted to. The appliances seem new and high-end, and the kitchen is well-stocked. We really appreciated the ability to charge our EV while we were there. We did not get to use many of the outdoor amenities due to rain, but we will definitely do so if we return during better weather. We would highly recommend this Airbnb for a family of 4-6 people!

Terry's place was absolutely fabulous! Exactly as described, very clean and spacious with lots to do (hot tub, outdoor fire pit, pool table)! I appreciated the dedicated workspace in the home which was perfect for those of us who work when we travel. The bedrooms were very comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked with lots of small appliances and things to get you started when you first get there. Terry was a kind host who accommodated us with an early check in and great communication while we were there. We would love to come back next year, and absolutely recommend Terry and his place to all guests looking for a peaceful spot with lots to do, and beautiful surroundings! Thanks Terry for being a super host and for sharing your beautiful home with us.

Marian's place was absolutely beautiful , very well furnished , great supply of coffee, teas and breakfast options . Very close to local shops and amenities , transit also just around the corner . I would highly recommend this place to anyone thinking of visiting this part of the world

We had very restful sleeps as the home was in a quiet neighborhood with very comfy beds. We were able to enjoy sitting on the deck one afternoon listening to the birds and enjoying the view. The drive to Ganges for groceries and restaurants was only ten minutes drive. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare a meal including some vinegars, oils and seasoning. Our hosts were very friendly and keen to make sure we had everything we need.

such a beautiful place to say at with a wonderful view, super kind host, and private hot tub! great for a weekend getaway

Astrid and Stephen’s place in the marina was an absolute gem. When we first arrived, we were greeted by a friendly neighbour who so happened to be Stephen who showed us to our unit, and helped us check in. Though it rained for much of our visit, the views were still stunning—peaceful, calming, and a perfect escape. The home itself was pristine and full of charm, clearly cared for with thought and love. Every little detail made it feel like a true retreat. We flew in for my son’s hockey playoffs, and the location couldn’t have been better—an easy and scenic trip to and from the arena. In fact, we loved it so much that we added two extra nights to our stay instead of touring to Victoria. No regrets! The local touches were a highlight—morning walks for fresh sourdough bread from Grain, amazing local wines at nearby restaurants that we walked to for a few lunches, dinners and a stop for some delicious tubs of local ice cream that we stocked up on! Grateful.

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.

Magical!! Even more beautiful than the photos. The place was exceptionally clean and hosts very responsive. Communication excellent. I would love to come back here and just sit and enjoy the view some more.

We are repeat guests because Catherine and her place are perfect for us.

A lovely place in a lovely neighbourhood. The place had everything we needed and more! The parking garage was really convenient - we especially appreciated that they had a luggage trolley to bring up our things. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony watching the boats go by, going to the nearby beach accesses, walking into Sidney and over all just enjoying a relaxing holiday. Cindy and Justin were great hosts - we hope to be back soon!

Perfect place to stay during a quick overnight stay in Nanaimo to catch the another ferry onwards. Had all the accomodations and amenities that we needed. Superior option than staying in a hotel. Worked well for 3 adults. Very nice to have coffee, cooking supplies, and really, everything we needed to feel at home.

This is a wonderful place to stay. Adrianna is an outstanding host. I would come back any time again. Five well deserved stars all around. Thank you!

Nice place. Great location Closet was small and furnishings were a bit out of scale and dated. Pillows were mis matched. Kitchen was clunky with no oven just a toaster oven. Noise from the garage door and cars coming and going was irritating. Kit drawer did not work, and drawer front was separated. Threshold to bath was splintered. Overall just needed some careful maintenance.

I absolutely recommend this location! Our last trip was the 6th time we’ve stayed at the Inn of the Sea, but our first time in this particular unit. As always, it was incredible! The host goes above and beyond with all the information you could need. The unit was gorgeous, clean, fully equipped, beautiful ocean views, and there are so many activities to enjoy! It’s family friendly and our toddler very much enjoyed the park and tons of toys, as well as exploring the beach! We all enjoyed going in the pool and hot tub, and exploring the near by walking trails! It’s really an exceptional place and we look forward to staying again soon!

Excellent on all points. The apartment was spacious, clean with modern furnishings. the view from the balcony was a highlight. Kristin and Ryan were responsive and helpful - we appreciated the extra bit of time to check out. Parking is easy to access and just a stones throw from the main street of town.

The views of Cowichan Bay were outstanding. And the family of swans that we woke up to everyday were an absolute delight. Very peaceful place to hang out for 4 days.

We had a lovely time staying in Tammy’s home. It was really clean and very well stocked with everything we needed. She is very responsive and we were able to check in a bit early on our arrival. The bed is very comfortable and there is a lovely view of the water from the patio. We would definitely stay here again! The resort has a tennis court, lots of grills, one campfire pit, dock for crabbing or boats, beach for clamming. The property is very well kept. Thanks again Tammy for such a lovely stay!

When we had to vacate our home for restoration purposes, we were lucky to find this sweet, cozy space to make our 'home' for almost a month. Bryan and Phyllis were prompt and attentive to all that we needed. On top of that, they were such a pleasure to meet. Simply good people. We couldn't have asked for better.

stayed at 201 for our daughter's wedding. Everything from check in to check out was flawless. The amenities provided were above and beyond and exactly as described. Our hosts made our experience stress free and easy to manage. I would highly recommend staying at the 201.

The location of this property was awesome. The beach, shops, and a wide variety of restaurants were all within walking distance. Sidney is a beautiful town all on its own or a great home base for exploring Victoria and the surrounding attractions. having a designated parking spot was an added bonus! The condo was very nice. I enjoyed having the extra living space over a one room hotel.
