Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Central Saanich

We visited Lopez Island for a quick weekend away and are so happy we chose Linnea’s place. The house was very charming and included everything we need while there. Its location was perfect (right in the heart of the village so we could easily walk to restaurants and shops). Also, the bed upstairs that we slept in was VERY comfy. Highly recommend. Thank you, Linnea!

Great little house with an ocean view equipped with everything you could need! Perfectly matched the description with extra amenities and recommendations that put it over the top. Well worth the price point. Would definitely stay again!

Huge home with all the needed amenities for our stay! Was very pleased to find a little closet of kids puzzles and books as well. My kids loved the gems and rocks that were collected around the home. Wish there was a little space where we could have found it what some of them were and where they were collected!!

Exactly as described. looked just like the pictures. We even met Frankie. A clean, comfortable spot just a short drive from anywhere we wanted to be - the university, downtown...

Nicole’s place was just as described with all the amenities one would need. The surroundings are beautiful, can get a good view of the mountains on a sunny day. We even spotted a deer right outside the house. The yard is huge, our fur babies enjoyed running around. Nicole was very responsive and helpful.

Great location!

Tim and Patti were great hosts. We enjoyed our stay and hope to return when next on Mayne Island. The space was clean, comfortable, well-equipped, and peaceful. We were wowed by the great views and appreciated being so close to the trails. Thank you for such a relaxing long weekend!

Serene’s place is so lovely. Spacious, but cozy and super clean, with beautiful surroundings and lovely hosts. Serene went above and beyond to make sure we, and especially our kids, were comfortable. She had all the baby necessities, and even provided toys based on my toddler’s interests. Would highly reccomend!

This place was perfect for our family of four. we easily felt comfortable and at home. Clean and well maintained. Easy to get to. check-in and check out were easy. Felt very secure. The location is wonderful, incredibly walkable. Close to everything. Would not hesitate to stay again!

Astrid and Stephen’s place in the marina was an absolute gem. When we first arrived, we were greeted by a friendly neighbour who so happened to be Stephen who showed us to our unit, and helped us check in. Though it rained for much of our visit, the views were still stunning—peaceful, calming, and a perfect escape. The home itself was pristine and full of charm, clearly cared for with thought and love. Every little detail made it feel like a true retreat. We flew in for my son’s hockey playoffs, and the location couldn’t have been better—an easy and scenic trip to and from the arena. In fact, we loved it so much that we added two extra nights to our stay instead of touring to Victoria. No regrets! The local touches were a highlight—morning walks for fresh sourdough bread from Grain, amazing local wines at nearby restaurants that we walked to for a few lunches, dinners and a stop for some delicious tubs of local ice cream that we stocked up on! Grateful.

Really lovely place in Cowichan Valley. Jane was a lovely and kind host. The place was exactly as shown/described, with a well stocked kitchen and a comfortable bed. Would stay here again when we're back in Duncan!

We had an amazing time at Susanne and Keith’s! Sparkling clean house with lovely little touches, beautiful neighboured, shops and restaurants close by and public transport was very easy to navigate. You won’t find more wonderful and helpful hosts - we felt truly at home and super comfortable. We will definitely be back if we come through Victoria again!

Agata’s place was so beautiful, in a great location and very comfortable to stay in! There was lots to do around the area and it felt very safe. It was very easy to check in, even when going with a vehicle and the instructions were super easy to follow. Agata also responded quickly to messages and made communication stress-free. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

A wonderful stay in an absolutely stunning location! The photos and description are perfectly accurate, and the place is wonderful to spread out relax or use as a homebase while visiting Sidney. Both bedrooms and bathrooms are spacious and stocked full of amenities, and the kitchen is very functional with a great open room and beautiful balcony overlooking the water. Victoria is about a 25 minutes drive away (depending on traffic) but the suite is close to many amenities including stores, restaurants, the Victoria Airport and the ferries to Vancouver. Highly recommend and would stay here again.

Sue was such an obliging host, she made special arrangement so I could utilize my time in the area to the maximum. I had a busy day in the area for other events and would have loved to have been able to enjoy the premises more than I was able. I would have no problem returning there possibly with better weather (it rained the whole time).

We couldn't be happier that we chose this place. Our hosts were fantastic and couldn't have been more kind and friendly. Anything we needed or even things we didn't think of, were there for us. We ended up having a prolonged stay, and they couldn't have been more welcoming or made it any easier than they did. The king size bed was wonderful, and I want to take the pillows home! The surroundings are beautiful, the birds, deer, and bunnies are awesome to see right out the door! We just can't thank them enough, we'll be back and highly recommend staying here. 5 Stars!!!

The place was absolutely beautiful and exactly what we expected! Perfect view of the water!Definitely worth the price. Jeffrey was extremely communicative and answered any questions we had quickly. There were great places to eat and grab a drink within walking distance (literally a wine bar right next door). Also a short drive to Olympic National Park. I would highly recommend this place for 1-2 people!

We loved staying at the Waterfall Hotel. It is conveniently located, very clean, comfortable, and peaceful. Wayne was an excellent host. I highly recommend!

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

House is clean, I had a great stay. Host is responsive. Would stay here again.

We had an incredible stay at this stunning property perched on the ocean in Shirley, BC! The views of the Olympic Mountains from the premium hot tub were nothing short of breathtaking, especially when we spotted humpback whales at dusk on our first night—pure magic! The property itself at moments may feel more like a swanky international hotel with its backlit onyx kitchen and luxurious rain shower yet nestled in the rustic beauty of the coast. Our host, Robert, was incredibly kind and attentive, immediately offering his charging station for our car—a real relief. Highly recommend this place for an exceptional, premium coastal retreat close to Victoria!

Loved our time here. The unit is actually even nicer than you can tell from the pictures. Comfortable and colorful aesthetic and beautiful, roomy accommodations with high ceilings and heated floors. Loved the two sided fireplace.

Leith's studio apartment is quiet, yet a walk around the corner from the main street. The views of the East Sound and surrounding landscape from the high up deck are beautiful. The interior is artfully well-appointed and equipped.

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.
