Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Galiano Island

Lovely home was a perfect location for our family Christmas away. Lots of space, well appointed home, big kitchen/dining area. House is located in a central area and we were able to walk or catch a bus to anywhere we wanted to go. Would highly recommend.

Angel House was a grand choice for holiday. A hot spot for a mini reunion with family I hadn’t seen in donkey years. Diana and Paul greeted us warmly and were available throughout our stay. At €750 per night and a €21 cash fee per guest, it accommodated up to 12 guests in 7 beds. Listed as “Entire Home” was attached to Diana’s living quarters but it did not detract the experience. Charming décor, window coverings invited early morning light and hotel-quality pillows needed after a long drive. The provided salt and pepper were a nice touch. Nomads will know to bring their own essentials but I prefer not to ask hosts for things during my stay. Despite a few minor issues—no ice on arrival, low ceiling in upstairs bathroom—house provided ample space otherwise with reliable Wi-Fi and a dishwasher! Location was close to Maffeo Sutton & Colliery Dam Park, a short drive to Duke Point Ferry Terminal and bistros around for lunch. Casa Angel de Nanaimo is a value for a memorable reunion!

great location, large 3 bedroom, really large living room with lots of seating, great for group, quiet neighborhood, easy and lots of parking, not much traffic, lots of restaurants close by, central location, great hosts!

We had a wonderful stay! Lots of space, great kitchen, and wonderful breezes. You can see the tides on the bay. Beautiful! The host was so supportive the whole time and especially when we forgot to pack one cupboard of our food. She had it ready for a relative to pick up for us after we left.

The house was great and had a well stocked kitchen. We came in at night which made locating it challenging. For reference it is just past the 25mph sign with the orange reflector above it. We really enjoyed our stay. All the beds were comfortable and the bed linens were nice and soft. Having fans in the rooms was great and they were of a nice quality. We would stay here again.

We loved staying at Dave’s Central location perfect for Nanaimo adventures, and super close to the ferry We’d love to get back some day!

Beautiful,Peaceful and relaxing place to stay..Far from noise in the busy city and busy life....I love the environment- trees and the view of every corner......it's our family gathering and meet up during our stay....Recommend to my family and friends...My family love these house ❤️ We'll definitely come back in the future ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ One of the best we stayed in Airbnb so far.....Owner is very responsive- we have everything we need in the house- soap,laundry,paper towels,toilet paper compare to hotel, it's limited....we feel like we're Home ❤️

Travis was very helpful throughout our whole stay. We loved the cozy house in a quiet street and even more so set back from the street. We stayed there with two families (two adults plus two kids each) and there was plenty of space for all of us - also for dining inside and out on the terrace. We made use of Travis' barbecue once. The area is lovely with its historic houses and there are supermarkets within walking distance as well as restaurants and lots of lovely cafes. The kitchen is great and even though you are expected to replace things when they run empty, which goes without saying, it's great to stay in a house that is usually lived in and you don't have to start buying everything from scratch. The only thing that didn't go well was that we had booked for the 8 of us but there were only 7 beds available. But since Travis is quick on his communication we could resolve that swiftly with a self-inflating airbed stowed in the house. All in all we can totally recommend Travis ;-)

Stephen’s place was a fantastic stay! It was clean, cozy, and easy to find. The property had everything you could need for a comfortable visit. It’s also pet-friendly, which was perfect—my dog was happy and loved having a yard to play in. Great value and highly recommended!

Really lovely suite in an amazing location! Very kind hosts and clear check in instructions.

Ann Marie and David are great hosts! Their suite is very comfortable. Nice outdoor sitting area surrounded by a beautiful yard.

Hulya and Muzo’s place was perfect! I truly appreciated the cleanliness of the apartment; it was absolutely spotless—definitely a 10/10! The hosts were incredibly warm and accommodating, making the check-in and check-out process feel effortless. Their thoughtful recommendations for local activities and dining options were invaluable and really enriched our stay. The location of the apartment could not have been better! It was conveniently situated near transit lines, offering easy access to a wide array of delightful restaurants and charming shops. Coming from a bustling city, I was pleasantly surprised that the outside noise didn’t disturb us at all. In fact, it felt just like home. I can't wait to return and would certainly book again the next time I'm in town.

Jay's place was just as described with some nice extras. We appreciated the snacks when we arrived after a late flight. Our family of 4 enjoyed ample space, comfortable beds and linens. Everything was spotlessly clean. Jay allowed a parking space in the driveway and so we did not have to rely on street parking. All in all a great stay in a quiet residential area that was conveniently located for us near to family but it is also near the bus route to hop on public transportation to get into Van. We would stay again!

We stayed at Raphael's for a week, and it was a great. The place was a bit small and it wasn't the most soundproof suite, but it was still quite reasonable and our toddler had no issue going to sleep. The suite is clean and the location is amazing, being steps away from a park and very walkable to grocery stores and restaurants. Raphael was very responsive and his flexibility in letting us check in early was greatly appreciated. Would definitely stay here again.

After travelling to Vancouver, many times in the past few years, I have to say that this is our favourite Airbnb. The location is fantastic. It’s close to the university many restaurants and the beach. Patrick was amazing host too, came out and met us when we arrived and was always responsive to my questions. He allowed us to plug our car into the garage outlet. The place it’s itself is spotless and brand new with all the amenities listed. Comfortable beds which is always a very important part of traveling! I’ve already put it in our favourite category for Vancouver stays. We will be back!! Be sure to get a cinnamon bun from Ground for Coffee. It was epic!!

We had a great stay at the rental. In particular, we loved the location and proximity to great cafes and restaurants on Main Street. As we walked around the neighbourhood, we were fortunate to see all the Cherry Blossoms which were so pretty. Finding free street parking right outside the house was very easy. Hosts were lovely and the suite was comfortable and met our needs for our short stay.

we had a great time. super easy directions and check in, condo was clean and had plenty of space for the 6 of us. nice patio, great location. hope to stay there again in the future!

Kristine's place was exactly as described and is in a perfect downtown location. We had easy access to lots of restaurants and attractions and transportation was easy as well. The condo itself was clean and had everything we needed.

Great place to stay in Birch Bay! Dan and Sherri were great hosts, the condo was very comfortable and had a nice view of the bay. Very responsive and answered all our questions promptly and clearly. Would stay here again!

We had a wonderful stay! Super clean, easy access to downtown Friday Harbor. Highly recommend!

We loved out stay at Robby's place, which we booked for the Taylor Swift Eras Tour. Lots of other people had hosts let them down for this, but Robby was kind, responsive, reliable and just fantastic all through. The beds are comfy, the views are spectacular, and we really enjoyed everything about being so centrally located.

Place was gorgeous, Iris was a sweet and responsive host. We will be back again 100%

It’s definitely a fantastic place to stay! Beautiful, comfortable, clean and very well equipped with everything you may need. Great location and the host is also amazing. I totally recommend Alisson’s apartment.

Thank you for having us! Your directions off the ferry were perfect. We arrived and the house was easy to get into, was super clean, had printed directions for everything in the house. The house is literally on top of the main strip. Could not have been more convenient! Highly recommend this property to anyone who will be in the area!
