Family-friendly holiday rentals in Fox Island

A beautiful space. The hummingbirds were flitting amongst the bushes, while the crows were rearing their young in the giant trees. The hot tub lies beneath the vaulted cathedral ceiling of ancient douglas fir trees. The soaking experience is the literal meaning of a forest bath. The cool clear water of the sound was a welcome repite from the heat of the tub. Sitting in front of a bonfire we watched a purple Mt Rainier fade with the sunset as the full strawberry moon rose over the hills sucking the tide out beyond the view of the waning firelight. The night time low tide and its crisp slipping sounds beckoned the inviting cool smooth sheets; an endless king size bed of relaxing contentment.

We absolutely loved our stay at this adorable beach cabin! The place was cozy, clean, and thoughtfully decorated with charming coastal touches that made it feel like a true getaway. We loved being just steps away from the beach. The cabin had everything we needed—comfortable bed, well-equipped kitchen, and a peaceful outdoor space that was perfect for morning coffee or evening relaxation. The host was kind, responsive, and provided great local recommendations. If you’re looking for a relaxing, quiet, and scenic place to unwind, this beach cabin is a gem. Our dogs love it and we can’t wait to come back!

Great location!! We walked to bars and restaurants and my daughter’s house is a block away. There is a little bit of street noise, but it wasn’t a big issue for us. Plenty of room to spread out and everything you might need to make it feel like home. The staircase coming up is very narrow and steep so something to keep in mind if you have mobility issues. It was fine for us.

Beautiful home, right on the water, with tons of privacy. The hot tub was so fun, right at the end of the wood walkway overlooking the canal. Would definitely recommend and visit again.

This was my second time at the Woodsy Retreat and it was wonderful, again. Enjoyed a hike through the State Forest, the hot tub, and all the goodies and snacks! Perfect place to relax and get away from it all!

Absolutely gorgeous house and location! Looked exactly like the photos. We took advantage of the oysters right in back of the house and cooked them in the oven for a delicious dinner. The hot tub was the perfect place to watch the sunset. Lots of beautiful wildlife, including birds, fish, and seals that swam right up to the dock! Kayaks were another excellent feature. Overall, the perfect place to spend our honeymoon!

This house is incredible. The location is perfect, walking distance to many food and drink spots. There is an amazing coffee shop right on the corner. Sauna and soaking tub are relaxing. The house is clean and organized and has clear instructions. Hosts are helpful and knowledgable. Highly recommend!

This home is an absolute gem, do not pass up the opportunity to book here. Tranquility abounds in this neighborhood, and you can see the sparkle on the water and water fowl from your bed, or watch from the hot tub! My partner and I loved this place, not only for the natural beauty surrounding, but found the amenities and the home to be super clean, thoughtful and welcoming. The bed is like sleeping on a cloud, super comfortable pillows and linens. To preface - we both have slightly different sleep - preferences and found we both had incredible sleep here. The hosts were so kind to text us when a pod of orca whales were out front - what a dream! Their recommendations were excellent and I highly suggest checking out Via Rosa 11 if you can, and walking Grand Forest ( on their list ).

Marcell is a great host, friendly and communicative. Very helpful with local suggestions and very accommodating. I would definitely stay here again if the listing is available the next time I’m in Seattle.

incredible price for the space! and being pet friendly? A steal. Will book again when we go to visit family in the future. thank youA

Kim’s place is on our favorites list. We loved staying by the quiet lake. We jumped off the dock every morning when we stayed :) it was a perfect spot for a weekend (we went to a concert at remlinger farms) and yes, the interior is outdated but we believe that’s the charm of the house! The bed was very comfy and the clawfoot bathtub was a really cool addition! It was pretty spacious too. We would totally stay again if we go back to Washington! The only small downside is there isn’t a full kitchen (which is noted) because we love to cook our own meals. But honestly it wasn’t a huge problem for our weekend stay cause there are restaurants/groceries 15 min drive away. Thanks for an awesome stay, Kim!

Martha and her husband were so nice even though we only seen them twice during our week stay. Both times Martha was super friendly and knowledgeable. there were beautiful views from the back yard of the property and right down the road aswell. my girlfriend and i had a great time exploring the Olympic national park and whole peninsula from her place. we will definitely be back to this amazing state and would stay here again in the future. Thank you again.

We had a very lovely stay at Brian’s cottage. It was tucked away within the trees and was very peaceful with a beautiful view. Everything was very clean and fully stocked with anything we might need. He left lots of information regarding restaurants and hiking near the area and also had lots of books and guides about Olympic National park which we took advantage of. Overall we were very satisfied with our stay and would definitely recommend.

Nice place as listed.

My friends, pup, and I had a birthday weekend at the cabin that exceeded what we'd hoped for it. The cabin has spaces to gather and spaces to retreat to, and many options for watching the cove and the Sound. Using the kayaks was a highlight, and the impeccably outfitted kitchen delighted us again and again. We all can't wait to come back soon 🚣‍♀️🌅

This amazing cottage was very private. From where you parked your car, to the cottage, to the beach. The steps gave this old lady and her dog a workout, but it was worth it. The morning sunrise views by Mt. Ranier were spectacular and the waves' crashing below were so relaxing. The cottage was the perfect size for us and the deck made for excellent relaxing and reading time. So many shells on the beach!

This home is located in one of the most beautiful locations -- gorgeous Harstine Island! The home is decked out (not to mention the wrap around deck is amazing!), spacious and as comfy as home in a fabulous beach community with trails for hiking through the old growth forest and beaches with firepits and excellent beachcombing. We absolutely give this property 5 stars and we'd give 6 if we could.

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.

Great place. The location was perfect for us. Extremely walkable. No issues at all. I would definitely stay here again!

Amazing views and clean place. We enjoyed our stay here!!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely perfect for a first-time visit to Seattle! We couldn’t have picked a better spot for our first trip to Seattle. The location was incredible—truly walking distance to many major attractions, restaurants, and sights. We hardly needed our car at all (walked 80% of the time), but it was such a relief to have secured off-street parking (garage) available when we did need it. We also travel with our dog, and this place was perfect for that! There was a nice, pet-friendly setup with easy access to outdoor space, which made things super convenient for quick walks and exercise. The amenities were great. The rental includes use of the pool, dry sauna, workout room and rooftop viewing deck —everything was clean, well-maintained, and a nice bonus after long days of exploring the city. Highly recommend this place for anyone visiting Seattle, especially if you want walkability, parking peace of mind, and a pet-friendly environment. Would definitely stay again!

Ian's place was great. We enjoyed spending our evenings with family after the days adventure. The pool house and outside patio are amazing we all really enjoyed it. The house has anything you need and communication with Ian was prompt and easy. Thank you for sharing your wonderful home.

Peter is an excellent communicator! When we drove up to the home's gate we were very pleasantly surprised!!! The house is beautiful, very clean, and has an amazing view, plus we thoroughly enjoyed the pool and hot tub. There's also a two-person hammock, pergola, various outdoor chairs and tables. The kitchen was very well-stocked and we loved all the art and cookie jars throughout the indoors. We've stayed at many Airbnbs and this property is the very best! You will not be disappointed. Near there is the Wild Felid Advocacy Center (book a visit online) that shelters tigers, mountain lions and other large and small cats. If you go there make sure you watch road signs and addresses since our navigation took us elsewhere. The only marker for WFAC is a cat paw print at car-height. What heartwarming memories we built there during our vacation. Paradise, simply put. Thank you, Peter.

Gayle was very quick to respond. Her condo is in a secure building. It was spotless. Great location - walkable to all attractions. She let us drop off our luggage prior to check in ( we were coming straight from Alaska Cruise). She called us as soon as the unit was clean and told us we could return. I would stay at Gayles Place again.
