Family-friendly vacation rentals in Penang

Everything is okay except A/C in the room not so cold & the A/C in the living room cannot open. Other than that really enjoyed our staycation here. Really recommended🌟

it is a great experience staying at Alvin's place. It is a heritage house, full with characters. my family and I also want an Airbnb which is bigger than a hotel room and has privacy. This place exceeded our expectations. The place is easy to find, there are a lot of good restaurants nearby(Alvin also gives good recommendations!) Alvin is a very accommodating and proactive host. I would love to come back to stay with Alvin again! lastly, Penang is amazing 😍

Our stay at Cecilia's condo was for 2 months, so it quickly became our little home away from home. Everything met our expectations as per the description of the condo. The bed and livingroom furniture are comfy and the kitchen is well stocked with supplies and cookware. We used the stove daily for light cooking and there are two fridges which helps if you stock up on groceries. We loved the nature surrounding this condo and the regular visits by the monkeys. They instantly became the highlight of our stay, for sure. The sea view is also beautiful. There were plenty of cargo and cruise ships to watch, as well as the fishing boats that arrive early every morning. We chose not to rent a car. This location is very doable without one. We used Grab to get to and from Georgetown for shopping and touristy things. Overall, Cecilia's home is a wonderful stay for anyone looking for a natural setting, quiet, and of course monkeys! Thank you Cecilia for being such a gracious host!

Good place to stay, but furniture and TV a bit outdated

I had four weeks at Daniel and Grace's place. It was so beautiful looking out at the water and the location for groceries, food etc was spot on. The hosts are both very proactive and very friendly. The bed was super comfy (and I'm a bad sleeper), so I found that really good. I was often the only one in the pool, and it was so refreshing as I found the heat hard to handle. Would stay again if visiting Penang in future.

Very friendly owner. The house is clean and comfortable. Suitable for small family gathering 👍

Nice place, great view. Lots good food nearby, and a few little night markets with good food (one by the nearby Lotus). A bit far from Georgetown but a 20min Grab will get you there. If you want to stay a little out of the hustle and bustle this is a great choice. Also low traffic and open areas to run (good place to prep for Penang Bridge Marathon) if that's something you are looking for.

This is the most comfortable homestay I've ever stayed in Penang. The water pressure is very comfortable, the air conditioner is very cold and suitable for the hot Penang elevator is the best few seconds to wait until it is not like other homestay that it takes a long time to wait until the elevator is completely not jammed down here is a shopping plaza very convenient for next year and I have to book this homestay.

Nice place, very clean and very spacious. Swimming pool view from balcony Was happy to have a filter in the kitchen which is very important. Coffee, milo and biscuits provided thank you very much. The dish wash liquid soap was filled in the shower bath container. Needs labelling. The lighting can be brighter very poor lighting especially in the rooms and bathrooms. Otherwise all was good and finally my little poodle also enjoyed the stay.

Yes, the sound of praying at 5am can be heard in the room.

The place is clean and have the basic items. Love how there is ventilation fan in the bathrooms to keep them dry. Host is responsive when I encountered issue with the washing machine.

Sparkling clean and very near Gurney Drive

lovely place. Great for our family

Nice place to stay. The house is spacious and easy to communicate with owner. Highly reccomended

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Clara's place! From the moment we arrived, Clara were incredibly welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The home was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had all the amenities we could ask for. Clara went above and beyond to provide local recommendations, ensuring we got the best experience during our trip. Their attention to detail and genuine hospitality made us feel right at home. The check-in process was seamless, and communication was excellent throughout my stay. A special thank you to Clara for allowing a late check-out—it was truly appreciated and showed how considerate and accommodating they are. We highly recommend staying here if you’re looking for a cozy, feels like home, well-maintained space with an outstanding host. A special bonus it's pet friendly too. We would definitely book again in the future!

enjoyed my time there , thank you very much for hosting the place!

We really enjoyed our stay here. The building was lovely - amazing swimming pools, a gym, a room for the children to play and a running track, we were really happy. Everything was a good standard. There were lots of shops and restaurants walkable. And as traffic across Penang always seems slow it was nice to be between the beach and George town. Wendy and Sharon were great hosts, clear instructions, and very quick to respond to any questions we had. The flat was exactly as in the photos, spacious and very comfortable for our stay of 5 weeks. We would absolutely recommend.

Clean and nice place...

I stayed here for almost a month and I really liked the place. super easy to go the groceries on the basement floor and plenty of restaurants and gyms in the area. within walking distance of several malls and public transport right outside. only comment is the power outlets in the apartment aren't conveniently located but that's easy to work around

It was a great location that we could explore both Bayan Lepas and Georgetown areas without having to drive out foo far. Zac was very responsive, considerate with our timing, and gave good directions. Getting in at first was a bit confusing, but it's all easy once we get to the carpark & room. Considerably quick lifts. Room was clean and had plenty of useful amenities. Cool aircond and hot shower are working well. If I may suggest, some items seem a bit outdated and perhaps it's time for an upgrade to make the home feel more comfortable.

Though building from outside looks old but inside the property is cosy, very clean and exactly as per the description

Been to the condo multiple times, Swee is definitely the best stay/host in the area. Truly a hidden gem! The space was spotless, beautifully decorated, like ikea showroom, and felt like a home away from home. The host was responsive, warm, and went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. Quiet neighborhood, great location, and cozy vibes all around. Would 100% stay here again and again and again!!! highly recommended!

Host was responsive and clear around instructions to access the unit, which makes is easy for our arrival late in the day. The location was very convenient. The unit was clean and comfortable. Will stay again if visiting Penang!
