Family-friendly vacation rentals in Somerville

We had such a lovely time at Veronika’s home. The house truly feels like a museum with various antiquates and relics from all across the world. My partner was mesmerised by all these artefacts, the library which contained a vast array of books and the tranquil courtyard annexed to the bedroom. Waking up to the gentle morning light that filters through the branches and looking into the mossy courtyard was quite surreal. I was also in love with the pool area/ courtyard, with pink leaves, and the surrounding hills and gorgeous natural scenery of the property. The house itself is of course simply spectacular. The large windows allow you to see the landscape from any angle and when the sun filters in - it is simply stunning. At night, it is equally as gorgeous as you can see the stars from the living area. We were lucky enough to chat with Veronika herself to learn about the history of the house. If you go for an early morning walk you’ll see kookaburras and kangaroos - they were adorable

We enjoyed our stay. Very clean, great appliances. As described. Thank you

The place was perfect for my daughters and I. Great value especially in the height of summer. Thank you!!!!!

Had a great stay at Carolyn’s suite. Everything was lovely and exactly what we needed.

Marisa was really helpful and.easy to deal with. the house was perfect for two families, with enough space for.kids and adults alike. it's hard to tell from the pics but it's bigger than we had imagined! definitely recommend for families looking for an affordable summer spot on the peninsula that makes you feel at home :)

We had a great stay at Simon’s. It catered for the whole family with kids and dogs. Great location directly opposite the beach, undercover bbq area and kids playground. Big fenced backyard for the dogs and play equipment to entertain the kids. There’s a studio detached from the house which was perfect for a guest with sensory sensitives when peace and quiet was needed. Highly recommended.

A wonderful quite secluded Cabin amongst natural bushland and wildlife such as wallabies and native birds. only 10min walk to the beach. Enjoyed having a charcoal BBQ in the undercover verandah and wood heater warmed the place up nicely. Will definitely be staying again in the future.

Lovely unit! Very clean. Perfect location, short walk to the beach. Only downfall was, there was no air conditioning so the house was like a Sauna. There were no ceiling fans either. Would definitely book regularly if there was air conditioning.

This Airbnb exceeded all expectations—spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated, and incredibly comfortable. The host was welcoming and responsive, making check-in seamless. Every detail was thoughtfully provided, from amenities to local tips. A perfect stay in a perfect location. I’d absolutely stay here again without hesitation!

We had a lovely long weekend at Mignon’s place. Very peaceful and away from the hustle and bustle of Cowes. We enjoyed walks along the beach and watched movies. Thanks Mignon

Amazing location, easy walk to the beach, close to both Cowes and the Penguin Parade. Exactly as described and host was very responsive.

Jane’s Blue House was a pleasure to stay at. Comfortable beds and good shower! I hope to be back next time with my 4 legged friends as I had to leave them behind for this trip.

My partner and I stayed overnight and it was exactly what we needed. The location was great, private and only a 15 minute drive to the Hot Springs. Helen was lovely to communicate with, and the room was as described, clean and cosy.

Had a wonderful stay at Claire’s place! The property was clean, cozy, and just like the photos. Claire was a great host, always quick to respond and offered helpful tips for the area. The location was perfect. Highly recommend!

Our second time staying at Rebecca’s lovely place in Shoreham. Such a cosy, homely place to stay. Plenty of room for our family of 5.

Wonderful place for the family to stay. It catered for all age groups which we had from a new born to grandparents. Was quiet and peaceful. The host, Angela, was superb with her communication and very flexible with check in and check out times.

Great place to stay for visiting the area . Immaculate accommodation. Very friendly & helpful host. Would highly recommend.

The accommodation was a perfect size. Main bedroom is great, large with its own bathroom and enclosed outside area. Shared bedrooms maybe a bit small but they're just for sleeping anyway. Plenty of living space, an extra area for kids. Lots of toys and games and a billiard table. The swim spa wasn't heating for us but Chris the host did warn us due to unforeseen circumstances and offered a refund if we wished to cancel. Very close to a beautiful enclosed beach, not very busy and good for swimming. Far enough away from 5he bustle of Cowes centre but close enough to walk or drive in for supplies. Chris was very prompt in replying. Overall, a very good experience and I recommend this accommodation for groups or families. Thank you Chris for offering your place.

Not much to add to all the other 5 star reviews! Helpful host..so great to find oil_herbs coffee pods and lots of other basics in the cupboard. Very comfy flat,short walk to beach and pier. no 12 tram into town takes a while but is so close and convenient we lived it!

Saltwater Villa exceeded our expectations in so many areas. It has lots of living spaces, good sized bedrooms and nice bathrooms. The house is a classic example of art deco architecture and is furnished sympathetically with lovely inclusions. We were a group of 7 and everyone loved the house. Tamara is very responsive. I am hoping we will return one day.

We thoroughly enjoyed our short stay at Kelli’s. Her home was immaculate with all the amenities to make our stay even more enjoyable. Kelli was extremely responsive and one of the nicest hosts we’ve ever dealt with. I’d thoroughly recommend staying here.

Great place to stay. The infinity pool on the roof is amazing 🙂

It was such a joy to stay at Banu’s beautiful place. We had a perfect landing from our long flight with a little one and Banu was supportive and communicative from the beginning, helping us to find places in the local area that we needed to recover from such a long journey. Her and her lovely daughter Ruby could not have been more kind, and we absolutely loved meeting them and staying in their amazing home. The garden and pool were such a luxury to be able to use on hot days and they were so generous, even lending some books for our two year old to read:) Banus recommendation of the Elwood Bathers for a birthday treat was perfect, everything was considered and we felt so at home. The space itself was cosy and light, with everything we needed for a magic stay. The day bed was perfect for us to use as a family of three, and the bedroom and bed, so comfy too. It was great to use the air con when we needed, too. Most of all it was lovely to meet Banu, Andrew and Ruby 🥰 thank you so much

Delightful place to stay for a few days and very convenient to our family's home. There was plenty of extras in the pantry and bathroom which was great. The sitting room was beautiful and so relaxing after a busy time during the day. Being such hot weather while we were there the pool was a welcome place to cool off. Great location close to shops and Canadian beach - a quiet family beach, was just down the road.
