Family-friendly vacation rentals in Galiano Island

Linda and Ian were fantastic hosts. They made us feel welcome and comfortable, and checked in to ensure we had everything we needed. They had excellent local guide books and provided us some great recommendations on things to see and do. The location was beautiful, peaceful, and very quiet - just what my wife and I were looking for! Thank you, Linda and Ian!

Jane was a fantastic host! Her place was cozy, we had a long stay and enjoyed every minute! The hot tub was a perfect way to end each day…we had the most incredible weather. Easy walking distance to downtown.

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.

Such a cozy and comfortable spot, located close enough to the mountains for all of our winter adventures! Hot tub, fully appointed kitchen, and spacious rooms, not to mention the beautiful surroundings (backyard creek and mountain views) all made for a wonderful stay.

Great spot! Walking distance to the ocean. Quiet, warm, cozy place. Weather wasn’t the best for us, but was a nice place to stay indoors, watch movies, have the fireplace on, soak in the hot tub. Had everything we needed! Place was clean, beds were comfortable, kitchen had everything we needed. Tracey was quick to respond to our messages. Good location for a quick drive up to Sechelt or Gibson’s. Would recommend for a nice easy getaway. Would return in a heartbeat.

We enjoyed our peaceful stay at this beautiful cottage. It was fantastic and even better then what we had thought. The view of the water and sunset was spectacular. Loved everything about this cottage and definitely recommend. It's just lovely. Seen plenty of hummingbirds a huge woodpecker a raccoon jelly fish and star fish. There are plenty of things to see surrounding area or just peaceful staying put and relaxing. We enjoyed Superbowl on the 80 inch TV as well as surround sound music. Loved the woodstoves and we used both. The warmth and feel was so nice. The hot tub was a great experience under the full moon. I would suggest adding 4 bath robes for future guests. I think it would be nice to wrap up in robes especially on the way when it's chilly. Great library full of books with cozy chair to sit and relax. I enjoyed a couple different brands of tea which were available. Three nights was just perfect for us as we are now off on another adventure. It's a 5 star. Wendy Kev Jess Liz

Loved our stay at the Little Bear Cabin. Richard went above and beyond to get the hot tub set up in winter conditions. The wood fired hot tub is great in the winter and worth the effort. Thank Richard for a great time!!

Gorgeous setting and super comfortable home with everything one could need for a great stay

The house is well laid out with everything you need to have a home away from home and with 3 bedrooms!! The kitchen is well equipped with amazing views of the park. Craig and Tricia are very responsive to any questions you may have about the house or the area. Thank you for your beautiful pet friendly home.

Would absolutely recommend this spot! It's exactly what we needed for a weekend trip up from Seattle. We walked Commercial Ave quite a lot and had a blast at the vintage and book shops, had delicious sushi and coffee, and also spent a good amount of time just kickin' it in the cozy place on the couch. Mieke was quick to respond. Perfect location, well stocked, super easy check-in and out, within our budget, and just all around adorbs. Book it!

The host was very kind and quick to respond to our requests. The interior, kitchen and bedrooms were clean and wonderful.

Rosie's Studio exceeded our already high expectations from reading the online reviews. You get unlimited access to feeding the friendly goats; Bella, a super gentle and playful golden retriever who comes and goes as she pleases (and will tease you into playing fetch!); and a stunningly peaceful farm stay with incredible views all the way to Mt Baker. The studio itself was great - clean and with lots of character, including the large circular windows that provide an ideal foreground for photos of the view. We really appreciated the breakfast staples and treats that Trish left, as well as the art supplies. When you're not out exploring Salt Spring, this is a great place to just relax, and my wife used the art supplies to paint the landscape, adding it to the wall of art from prior guests. Location wise, it's about 20 minutes to Ganges by car. We enjoyed it, as it felt far enough away from everything to feel secluded, but everything was still convenient. Perfect stay!

The place was amazing! It was clean, spacious, and perfect for a family stay. One of the highlights was the yard—it was super convenient for our dog, who had such a great time. The host was very accommodating and regularly checked in to make sure we had everything we needed, which made us feel well taken care of. Overall, I highly recommend this property! We’ll definitely be coming back.

We had a wonderful stay in this beautiful basement suite! The area is really quiet and the place was outfitted with everything we needed to feel at home - we especially appreciated the extra treats (the muffins were delicious!). We highly recommend staying here!

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.

A perfect location to explore the island-close to town, walking trails. Walk to Saltspring Wild Cidery! Very clean, comfortable, and well provisioned. Great Saltspring stay!

Mona was very responsive and helpful with the booking and was quick to respond. I went for a conference work trip and she accommodated us on an earlier check in. Mona gave great detailed instructions for check in and check out. Parking was easy to access once you got into the parkade and it’s close/ secure. I felt very safe in the space , it was immaculate, clean and well decorated. I would stay again, thanks Mona!

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

Eddie was very responsive and his place fully met our needs. If we had let them, our young kids would not have left the apt 😂 Swimming, looking out onto the city, doing puzzles - all provided hours of entertainment! Thank you for letting us stay at your place, Eddie.

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%

This was a great stay and a wonderful experience. Jack was very helpful and was always available with any issues we had. This location is perfect as it was lest than 10 minutes to the ferry terminal and airport, which I both used! The home was very cozy with an antique vibe and lots of firewood for the fire place. Jack provided a lot of media entertainment, with endless movie and sporting TV options. The hot tub was always warm and we even got to go for a mini polar bear dive in the big pool. We had an amazing and relaxing time. Thank you very much Jack and we will consider coming back in the summer!
