Family-friendly holiday rentals in Mercer Island

Such a beautiful spot! It’s so cool to have access to the hot tub, sauna and cold plunge. We had a fantastic, relaxing time. The place was clean and we appreciated the multiple sleeping arrangement options.

Everything was great beautiful views loved that they had paddle boards and other stuff to use … parking was little hard it was close to the house, but the parking area was full of rocks and down a hill our rental car did get stuck, but luckily we could park on top of the hill instead. Other than that It was a fantastic little lake house !

This was our third time staying at Paula's place, and it feels like a second home. It is our first choice of place to stay when we travel to Seattle to visit our family, and I recommend it to all of our friends who are going there.

Very nice Very comfortable Very cozy Didn’t get to use hot tub but very inviting Liked the neighborhood

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 ).

We enjoyed our stay here. It was central to so many sights and places to visit. It felt safe and secure, tho we were unfamiliar with how the door lock worked initially. The space felt open and clean minus small things like baseboards and doors. I appreciated the coffee and very clean linens. The only thing that was slightly unexpected was that the listing said laundry was In unit. Which is technically true but you must contact the host to have her let you into the private utility area of the house to use it. Also, you can hear the family upstairs but they also do pass by a door that is connected to the living room. It was quiet but startled us the first time.

We were visiting Whidbey for a wedding at Fireseed Catering. This was a convenient and comfortable landing spot for us. Jim was so nice and welcoming. And the property is beautiful! I wish we could have stayed longer. We will be back!

All in all, 5 stars! When Gregg realized I wasn’t going out for dinner & did not bring food with me he made a very kind gesture of bringing over pho cupnoodle. Bonus stars for the beautiful dog, and letting me cut my visit short due to a change of plans. Would recommend.

We enjoyed our stay. Location was what we were looking for. Quiet, nice view and minutes from a scenic beach.

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.

This space was perfect for my little solo stay in Seattle! I didn’t realize that the Airbnb app had changed around where some things were since I had last use it, and James was extremely helpful with getting me the information I needed. I definitely recommend this space!

We had a lovely experience staying at David’s home. The place was clean, cozy, and exactly as described in the listing. The host was responsive and kind, and even left us a bag of coffee! Check-in was smooth and the neighborhood was quiet and safe. I’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend if you are looking for a place in Seattle.

Great place to stay, plenty of space for 4 adults and for sleeping. The view from the deck overlooking the lake was perfect to drink our morning cup of coffee. The quick short walk down to the dock and fire-pit was easy. Sitting on the dock (chairs were provided) every evening as the sun set was a perfect end to the day. The small fridge, coffee pot, microwave worked great for breakfast options as well. Really loved our stay.

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.

Brenda is an incredible hostess. the apartment was charming and cozy, supplied with cooking paraphernalia and spices and other supplies. the bed was extremely comfortable and the apartment quiet. Brenda checked in with us often to make sure we had everything we needed. We will definitely stay with her our next trip this way.

Nick has a perfect spot for a quick stay before a flight out of SeaTac. Easy peasy!

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.

The hosts had an incredibly clean suite. It had plenty of room with an extremely comfortable bed and the most comfortable sofa bed I’ve ever slept on. The bathroom amenities were not cut-rate products, but high quality. The view of the water was spectacular; we even had the added bonus of seeing some wildlife in the backyard from our window. The indoor pool was the incentive that kept my 4- year old grandson on his best behavior. It was depressing to have to leave. It felt like we were at home.

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

Beautiful condo, full of amenities, comfy bed, gorgeous views. Perfect for longer stays. We were only there for a couple of nights, making it hard to justify all the air BnB fees, but not the hosts fault. Would certainly rent again when we have longer time to visit my grandsons.

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

The place was perfect for our vacation stay in Seattle! Excellent central location for walking to the most commonly visited tourist spots. We took full advantage of the courtyard and gym. My son said he slept "way better" on the pull-out sofa than he did in our earlier hotel stay. The place was clean and comfortable. Being met and provided instructions at check-in was helpful and checkout was a breeze.

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.

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.
