Family-friendly holiday rentals in University Place

Super sweet place in a great, quiet area. Great communication from Host Justin.

My sister and I had a very relaxing stay. The house was cozy and very clean with fabulous views. The lilac was in bloom so everything smelled wonderful, too. The handbook is a bit vague in places (no list of recyclable items and no instructions for the for the hot tub) but the hosts were very responsive to questions. A very peaceful escape.

Jill’s home is hands down one of the best stays we’ve ever had! Everything about this beautiful home is A++. The location is fantastic — such an amazing neighborhood, with the house right in the center of the most desirable streets in all of Seattle. And the VIEWS! Wow! Pictures don’t do it justice. The location is also within walking distance of wonderful bakeries, restaurants and shops. And if you’re looking for a daily stroll, take your pick…soooo many gorgeous streets to wander and lovely neighborhood parks to enjoy. The beds are also extremely comfy and the third floor is a dream. We already miss our mornings and evenings sitting on the deck watching the boats and ferries glide by, along with the beautiful sunsets. Bottom line: Jill’s home is a special place. We can’t wait to return!

This place was fantastic! Danica and Phillip have truly gone the extra mile to ensure their guests feel comfortable and I absolutely adored all of the little touches like the robes, slippers, breakfast, wine and fireplace.

We were in town for a volleyball tournament, and literally didn’t want to go because the house was so awesome! It is a built in vacation. The lake, pickleball, basketball, kayaking and the list goes on. This place is magical and I definitely want to come back soon.

Beautiful place and enough space for two. Ballard has so much charm. Especially in the spring time. All the pictures were pretty accurate and the TV was even updated. The deck and outdoor seating was a huge plus. Easy access to the city and everything else Ballard has to offer. I’d check out the Farmers Market! I would stay here again!

We had a really wonderful stay in this rustic and romantic tiny home. Plenty of wood to stoke the fireplace and outdoor fire pit. The house itself was very comfortable and homey. We spent a lot of time around the ample kitchen table drinking coffee and chatting. The outdoor clawfoot tub was the highlight of the house. So much fun and so relaxing to take a hot soaker and listen to the complex soundscape of nature and people about their lives. Really though, the reason for the stay was the large secluded property to roam around on and the access to the magical private beach! So much nature and beauty. It's what living in the Northwest is all about! Highly recommend. We'd definitely stay here again!

The best Airbnb I have ever seen! Not just Seattle anywhere! So well appointed and supplied! Lee has thought of everything! The hot tub was amazing and the yard and trees and rooms and bathrooms and showers and kitchen were incredible!! I will stay here every chance I get! Thank you Lee for your kindness and for having this wonderful place!

Amaris is very responsive and helpful and her house is so spacious, clean and well maintained. My kids loved being able to take bubble baths in the oversized tubs and so did I🙂 We also loved the roof top deck and the view was so beautiful especially at night with all the city lights. The beds and comforters were so cozy I want to buy some like that for my own bed! Another thing we loved was after a busy day we could come back to a very quiet peaceful neighborhood home and rest. The location was perfect, within walking distance to all the best restaurants and shops. Lighthouse roasters made amazing coffees and have a really great vibe. We cannot recommend Amaris and her property highly enough. Will be staying there again.

Our stay began with a personal note and pastries from a local French bakery. The space was charming and homey. Renee was very responsive yet respected our space. We enjoyed the patio and garden area which was beautiful. Neighborhood was peaceful and walkable to nearby coffee shops. We left feeling like we made a friend.

We had a fantastic stay! The place was clean, comfortable, and in a great location—just a short walk from the bus stop (we took it to Pike place) and some cozy cafes. Kelly was responsive and everything was as described. Would definitely book again!

We stayed in this place for 52 days. It worked very well for our family of 4 and a small dog. It had plenty of beds, the sheets and towels were very nice quality. The place was roomy and we were comfortable. We missed having a TV in the upstairs because the dog was not allowed in the downstairs. The kitchen was well stocked with plenty of pots, pans, silverware, utensils, etc. There was a gas grill that was nice and an extra propane tank for use when we ran out. It was a quick switch and we appreciated this. It was cold for the area when we were there and the heated kitchen floors and bathroom floors were amazing. There was plenty of parking for our 2 vehicles and a trailer. From the description it was unclear if we could use the garage which we could not. There were several doors to the outside with ample deck and patio area. We needed to extend our state a week and they were flexible for us which was helpful.

A wonderful place!! My husband and I enjoyed our stay at Caroline‘s Little Farmhouse so much and would have loved to stay longer. It is a beautiful, bright and very charmingly decorated house in a lovely rural and quiet setting. Everything was thought of, there was even eggs and milk in the fridge, and bowls and towels for the dog. Thanks Caroline!

Super sweet, personable hosts!!! Absolutely wonderful stay. I needed absolute peace and comfort after my awful work week...and it was perfect. The space is unique, peaceful, and so, so comfortable!! Felt right at home. 100% recommend!! 🫶🏼 Thank you.

Theo and Maria’s place was the perfect getaway for me and and my dog. It had everything I needed, was tastefully decorated, clean, comfy, and in a beautiful tree and flower lined neighborhood. The backyard was a big plus. All my questions were answered promptly and check in/check out was super easy and smooth.

We loved our stay at the Zen Den! Lovely place, relaxing atmosphere, very clean. Lisa was very quick to respond to any questions we asked. I would definitely recommend staying here if you are visiting Kent.

We had a wonderful stay at Laura’s house in Harstine Pointe. The location near the beach, lagoon and bluff trail was fabulous. The separation between upstairs and downstairs, with a bathroom, bedroom and living area on each floor was great for two families, and all was clean and in good condition. The view of the sound from the living room was beautiful! Thanks for the great stay!

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.

Lovely condo in Belltown near all the attractions! Loved the included parking for one car. Super secure building! The condo itself was great, plenty of space for four adults! Nice amenities including gym and pool and hot tub! Very walkable location! Would definitely stay again next time we are in Seattle!

Great place to host my family get together with plenty of space and accommodating kitchen for meals

Kory was a wonderful host who was highly communicative and ensured we had what we needed at check in and check out. We came in town for the Apple Cup at Lumen and a few games at T-Mobile and the location is an easy 10 min Uber. We left the Friday mariners game early but got to see all the fireworks from the balcony. Perfect spot if your plans include SoDo. Thank you, Kory!

My daughters and I truly enjoyed our stay in Seattle, and staying at Emma's place very much contributed to our enjoyable trip! She was so responsive throughout the booking and trip planning process, and was incredibly flexible with our checkout process. The condo was comfortable, in a great location for walking to various activities, and close to many restaurants. Emma was a great host - would definitely stay at a property of hers again in the future when I'm in the area again.

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 and her staff were great! Their instructions were clear and thorough. They were friendly and very helpful in helping us have a great experience in visiting Seattle and the surrounding areas. My family and friends were thrilled with our stay!
