Vacation rentals with a kayak in British Columbia

Jason is a friendly and approachable host. The property is comfortable, well equipped and easy to heat when necessary. The views are amazing and there is lots of local wildlife; we even saw humpbacks from the front room one evening! Location was good for Port Hardy and a lot of the North Island Trails. Worth every penny.

Sarah’s place was perfect for a weekend getaway! The location is walking distance to the playground, beach and restaurants. The house was very clean and the beds were comfortable. The private yard came in handy, we enjoyed the hot tub and fire pit. Thanks for being an amazing host, looking forward to staying here again the future!

We loved our stay here. The view from the full length windows and outdoor patio were breathtaking. We saw lots of wildlife: eagles, deer, seals, an otter and humpbacks. The kitchen was stocked and the bedding was very comfortable. It was beautifully decorated. We had fires on the beach each night while we enjoyed the peaceful surroundings. It’s a walkable distance to the Dolphin Resort restaurant where the food was excellent. We would rebook in a minute.

We already miss this place! We loved waking up early in the morning to the view outside the bedroom, a feast for the eyes. Nature and tranquility surrounds this home. One could easily spend their days sitting on one of three decks taking it all in. Having the kayaks and paddle boards at our disposal allowed us to be a part of the activities on the water. And a soak in the hot tub was a much appreciated bonus! This is truly a home for an active lifestyle. With the climb up the nearly 70 steps to the street to the multiple daily walks to the business district in Deep Cove, you won't have to worry about making sure you get your exercise in. Thank you, John and Maria, for sharing your lovely home with us. It was a very special place for us to celebrate a milestone anniversary. We felt very spoiled by everything it offers and will definitely return again.

This home was clean and beautiful. The pool and hottub were a big hit. Most games listed had missing pieces so couldn't play them unfortunately. Host was friendly and did her best to accommodate whatever was needed. Her response was quick and clear. Overall, we had a good experience!

This the the best property we have ever stayed at and we have been at some wonderful properties. Right on Nanaimo bay. Views were stupendous. Easy stairs down to the shore. Brian responded to inquiries almost as quickly as Radar O’Reilly on MASH. The home has all the little touches that testifies that wis wife is involved in the upkeep. Would recommend highly. Would stay there again. Didn’t want to leave.

The house is very comfortable and just as beautiful as the photos. The location is incredible - amazing views of the water, mountains, and big ships passing. It was so lovely to be able to just walk across the street and be on the beach with long walks possible in either direction. It was also really convenient for groceries and restaurants along 4th Ave, and an easy 15 minute drive to downtown and Stanley Island. We loved Vancouver and our stay in this beautiful home!

A beautiful and relaxing place. A few minutes from the city center but with the impression of being in the middle of the mountains in a very comfy spot. Thanks !

What a wonderful little gem. The patio was the perfect morning view, with a fenced deck so no worrying about my dogs wandering off. Everything was clean and comfy! We love cooking and had all the things we needed. Found hidden places like the chasim and near by waterfall (both driving distance) we were early in the year the lake was calm and peaceful. The fireplace inside was a bonus for our rainy day after arrival. My family highly recommends.

An amazing location. So peaceful and the views were perfect. We walked directly from the apartment and down the quaint little road to visit 5 wineries. Came back sat on the deck and was greeted by a little deer who was happy to hang with us for a while. Would recommend to anyone

We had a fantastic stay at Ryan's house by the lake! The property was peaceful, clean, and beautifully maintained. Waking up to the view of the water every morning was a dream. The house had everything we needed — from a well-equipped kitchen to cozy beds and thoughtful touches throughout. Ryan was a great host — responsive, helpful, and respectful of our privacy. Whether relaxing on the deck, enjoying the lake, or just sitting by the fire-pit in the evening, this place gave us the perfect mix of comfort and nature. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a quiet and scenic escape. We’d love to come back again!

Emma was a great host. She was great at responding to any messages and provided great information and instructions in the home.

A beautiful location - we loved saying here. A great spot to chill and take it the beauty of the Sunshine Coast. We’d love to come back.

We had a great time in the cottage of James! It was easy to find following his directions. We were welcomed by a stunning sunset, the First of several. We used the kitchen only once as there‘s also a BBQ on the deck of the cottage and some restaurants in the area James recommended. There’s a canoe one can use, unfortunately it was so windy we couldn‘t try it. To be honest we have not seen wildlife like whales from the cottage as June seems to be too Early for that, but there are several wildlife tours in the area and we have seen some grizzlys and others during those. The Area is Full of history about the First Nations and James provides next to games, books and binoculars for entertainment also some information about the history of the closer towns. We loved our stay and can only recommend it!!!

What a fabulous stay. We had absolutely everything we needed for a relaxing and cozy weekend in Tracy’s home. We will 100% be back!

Very beautiful place and wonderful host. Would recommend to everyone :)

I had a fantastic stay at Maarten’s listing . The cabin was very clean , cozy and a great location . The lake view from home is amazing . The host was very responsive . The lady who took care of the place is very helpful. So highly recommended the place.

In a word - dreamy. A beautifully constructed and decorated log cabin on a spacious private property in the mountains with everything you could possibly need to enjoy your stay - a well maintained hot tub, fire pit, covered wraparound porch with lots of seating - not to mention the gorgeous interior with fully stocked kitchen, games, books, DVDs, extra blankets and cushions…Kaymin was an incredibly thoughtful host- very responsive, provided lots of suggestions for local activities and had a bottle of wine and charcuterie waiting for us when we arrived. Need I say more?

This is such a special place! The Cabin is an authentic, traditional family cabin, with plenty of supplies for a comfortable stay, but the location right on the lake is something else! We loved using the boats, spotting wildlife, playing on the beach. Such a memorable place to be with our family. We were also grateful for the prompt communication from Don. Thanks again

Beautiful location. Lee was flexible when we needed to check in later than planned. She gave us a helpful walk-through of where to find things to do on the property, such as the firepit, yard, hot tub, etc., and how to get to the beach. Very responsive and a comfortable place.

What an outstanding home and location, with Jason and his family ensuring we felt right at home. There was such attention to detail which made our stay comfortable and throughly enjoyable. The house worked well with a baby and beds were extremely comfortable. That’s saying a lot for a sofa bed! The digital information prior to arrival made the stay very easy. The location could not be more perfect, with views out across the water, and surrounded by ferns and woods. A magical Airbnb stay!

The views from the decking are astonishing, Bridget is a very helpful host. I loved everything about the accommodation, the whole valley and my time in Canada

This was an amazing place to stay with my husband and infant child. It was the perfect getaway to escape and come back feeling refreshed!

Woody and Laurie were wonderful hosts thoughtful, responsive, and generous. They provided everything we needed, from firewood to clear directions for refilling water, and were always quick to respond if we had a question. We were celebrating our honeymoon, and arriving to find balloons and a sweet bow on the door was such a thoughtful touch that truly made us feel welcome. The cabin was a peaceful, serene escape after the joyful chaos of our wedding. We loved playing the many games available, relaxing on the private beach, and watching our dog soak up every moment. We can’t wait for the chance to return to this little slice of heaven.
