Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Hood Canal

We were blown away from the moment we pulled into the driveway. The pictures don’t even do it justice! Where do I start? The view, the gorgeous interior design, the best stocked kitchen with every appliance we could dream of, the spacious deck and delightful gardens and outdoor shower with hot water. Shannon was the most incredible host we’ve ever had. And I’ve stayed in well over 30 Airbnbs. She proactively offered early check-in when her cleaning team was done early, provided recommendations for restaurants and activities and even left us a little welcome gift. Thank you for sharing this treasure with us Shannon!

Great experience, felt totally at home with an addition of amazing views. Would love to come back again :) Chad is an amazing host and super responsive. A special word of mention for the kitchen and cutlery stocked, especially for large group staying at the place.

Very convenient spot for exploring the eastern side of Olympic. Loved the porch with the lake views! An obviously loved family vacation home vs. an often seen sterile no-personality Airbnb. One note is the beds on the 2nd floor are up a tricky set of stairs (listing has a picture), so something to watch out for anyone with mobility issues.

Home with a beautiful view of the water and, if you use the provided kayaks to go a couple hundred yards north, a view of the snowcapped mountains in the park as well. We saw a lot of wildlife from the kayaks. Good for stargazing when it's clear. If it had rained, the couches by the giant windows overlooking the canal would have been the perfect spot to settle in with a book and watch the rain. A great base to explore the area and recharge after, and roomy and comfortable for four adults. Jay was quick to respond to any question.

Wow! What a view! And the host was so kind! He took the time to answer several questions and even called us! Saw eagles, seals! The changing views because of the tide are so interesting! Parking isn’t the easiest, but very doable. The local restaurant was delicious at breakfast! About an hour and a half from Hurricane Ridge mountain range, but the scenery to and from is stunning!

Gail's place was amazing as a retreat to celebrate my son's 18th birthday and high school graduation. We enjoyed the water and the kayaks that were available. Coffee was available (I forgot to bring my own!) and abundant towels. We lacked absolutely nothing. Additionally, when one of the guests forgot his wallet, Gail responded with an updated code to get in and grab it before we got too far on the road.

This cabin was just what I had hoped for a relaxing getaway. Although not new construction, it had an old house charm with updated features. It definitely felt like it has been well loved and lived in, but still clean and well kept. It did have everything we could have needed for our trip. Our kids enjoyed playing games and ping pong in the basement, as well as exploring the gardens and beach. The beach at low tide was a spectacular treasure hunt to see all sorts of sea creatures, shells, animals and birds. The beds were comfortable, and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook dinner every night. The views from the living room and deck were incredible. It was so peaceful and quiet, I could have enjoyed that spot forever.

Absolutely incredible host. Unique situation for my family, they were willing to accommodate and was absolutely responsive from start to finish. We will be going back…. If I recommended for everyone, I may have trouble booking it again lol 😂 10/10 Absolutely Recommend 💯

Victorias place was absolutely BEAUTIFUL! The Captains Quarters are a must stay place if you’re in long branch/lakebay. It felt like we were truly a captain of a ship, especially since the view was absolutely amazing. Victoria was so responsive, kind, and gave local recommendations. The private beach is even more gorgeous than the pictures, and it felt like a getaway from home. Our only regret is that we didn’t do more on the property! Would definitely stay here again. Props to Victoria and the amazing space!

We keep coming back! It's comfy and cozy for two, and it's convenient for visiting Ballard or getting to downtown Seattle. The description and pictures of the space are accurate, and we appreciate the well-laid out space.

Can’t say enough good things about this little sanctuary. We stay for almost 2 weeks and it was perfect for the two of us. So many great bars and restaurants nearby. The kitchen was perfect with several ways to make coffee. Fully stocked with plates, bowls utensils pots and pans. Stocked with all the amenities we could have wanted and more we didn’t know we did

Overall great experience. Telissa was a great host and my wife and I loved their place. They put fresh eggs for us and additionally offered EV charging as there were no superchargers closeby. It was perfect getaway for us closer to our home in Redmond. The spot around has many beautiful places to drive to. We ended up grilling in Tolmie State park and another one close by to our Bnb. Also, the hosts gave a list of recommendations and it was quite helpful.

Our family came to visit us in north Kitsap and we appreciated the clean and quiet accommodations between Kingston and Port Gamble. They enjoyed the nearby day trips to Point No Point lighthouse and beach, Port Gamble’s quaint downtown and White Horse Golf Course. The beach access was a plus, but the kayaks available were a little far from the beach - a series of steps, etc. so we passed on that. We were able to use the firewood that the host provided at the beach, so we were very happy with the experience we had. All-in-all, a lovely spot to stay!

Older building, but good renovations. My maintenance request was answered immediately and fixed in less than 2 hours. It felt like having a nice apartment in the heart of downtown. To be clear, other than street parking if you're lucky, there is no parking here. You'll need to park at a garage nearby, but there are several to choose from. SpotHero is your friend here. All in all, this place is a gem. Highly recommended.

We couldn’t have found a better place to cerebrate our 69th wedding anniversary. Lots of places to see on the peninsula and walking trails all over. Short drive to any kind of food you might want or shopping you might want to do. We did not leave the peninsula but you can go to other nearby locations easily by car or ferry. I love herbal tea and they grow some right there and I brewed fresh mint tea to go with a lovely dessert we had picked up in town. Thanks for a lovely time.

The Tended Thicket was Great. Excellentstay, the place was exactly as described and Doris was a great host. Kitchen was stocked with cold drinks, coffee, tea and snacks. Bathroom had any item you might have forgotten. Went one of the local recommended restaurants and it was excellent. Such a thoughtful host. Will definitely stay here again!

We absolutely loved our stay! Toni Marie made everything so easy and the apartment exceeded our expectations from all the little touches to the surprisingly comfy sofabed to the serene rooftop. If we had to single out a favorite detail, it’s the big surrounding trees that make the apartment feel like it’s in the middle of a city park. Everything was perfect and we didn’t want to leave!

I enjoyed my stay. I feel like I was serviced well and the Airbnb was a great place to stay for my weekend. Would highly recommend

Robert was easy to work with and the location is amazing along with the amenities. Worked great for our family of 5 + our dog. Made for an excellent weekend seeing family for graduation and the city with the boys. Would recommend.

great spot and location, a lot of outdoor seating to enjoy the late summer nights. There's a covered seating area that makes a nice combined indoor-outdoor space. Area was very quiet but also close to main strip and the water.

Thank you so much for hosting my mom she loved the space and the heated bathroom floors were really nice.

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.

Ken's place was a great place to stay. Close to all amenities. Check-in was a breeze and he was very helpful with any questions I had.

Really lovely stay at Rachel's place. Best parts for me was the location (easy walks to all the Winslow has to offer and on/off the ferry to head to the city. The other good parts were the bed (comfy) and the landscaping around the space - very well done. Would definitely stay here again.
