Fitness-friendly vacation rentals in Cowichan Lake

Nice owner, great communication, thank you

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!

Andy was extremely responsive to all our needs. Excellent service

Nice place at a very convenient location especially for Chinese food

Travis’ place was perfect for our family’s three nights stay on the Island. He had the single mattress and the pack and play set up for my kids before we arrived. The set up is perfect for a multi generation family trip. We got to really enjoy the amenities such as the pool and the pickle ball court. Would definitely consider renting again here!

Condo is as pictured and described. Very family friendly condo and area. 4 playgrounds with a 10 minute walking distance. Place was clean and had everything we needed. Would stay again.

Home away from Home, is how I would describe this. From the moment we walked in, we felt like we were not only welcomed there but that we could feasibly own this place. We stayed a total of 5 nights, and were began to feel sad after the 4th night, knowing we would have to leave. Being literal steps from the ocean made for beautiful sunsets and serene mornings. The area is fairly well protected from winds as we were facing a North-West direction. The indoor pool, hot tub, gym and games room are all within a quick 3-minute walk. The indoor pool is very large with a large shallow area for the kiddo's. Indoor pool has a Dry Sauna as well. The hosts, Kimberly and John, are very communicative. There is a provided binder with local amenities and Places of Interest. We took their suggestions and had a wonderful time getting to know the area! All-in-all, we thoroughly enjoyed our time here. We have officially decided that we will be making Vancouver Island our yearly destination.

It's a nice and clean place with great location and facilities. The host is responsible and gave us clear instructions.

Great location, walk distance to all kinds of restaurants, amazing! Thank you for sharing your home with us, we will definitely rent it again!

Wayne's place was fantastic! It's in a great location that makes everything Downtown very walkable. Would recommend a stay here and we would love to come back :)

My wife and I had a phenomenal stay at this Airbnb. Nestled in the city's heart, it provided a stunning view of the iconic Empress Hotel. The apartment was comfortably furnished, feeling like a second home. The outdoor patio was a unique highlight. Surrounded by trees, it served as a peaceful oasis amid the urban bustle. The pool and hot tub access added a layer of luxury, perfect for relaxation after city exploration. Our hosts were attentive, ensuring our comfort at every step. This Airbnb is a splendid choice for couples seeking a luxurious city stay. Eagerly awaiting our return visit!

This condo was so great! I could live here. It had pretty much anything you could need for a short or long stay. The full kitchen was nice with the full size, 6 person table. There were several condiments, tea and coffee left in the kitchen to use. The bathrooms and beds were beautiful. Even the hide-a-bed was fairly comfortable. The pool, hot tub and gym were in a different building so we only used them once. The beach and walking path were right outside the door. The walk is definitely worth it, even if you don’t have a lot of time. Other than the shoreline, Nanoose Bay is within an hour of many hikes, waterfalls and hidden gems to explore. We didn’t find a bakery or grocery store within walking distance. The closest would be Parksville which is not far. But you do have to drive or set out for a long walk. We will definitely stay again if we are in the area. Thank you!

The Strands was a beautiful place to do a little sister trip with our little babies. It was peaceful and it was so nice being so close to the beach and the amenities of the resort available. The unit itself was amazing. It was so well decorated and beautifully designed. Everything was very well thought out and we felt really comfortable. I would definitely come back and highly recommend it to anyone!

We loved staying at Jordyn’s place as we went to the Grotto Spa at the tigh na mara very near by. It was convenient to get to the water and close to many amenities. We would be happy to stay there again.

We loved Heidi’s place. It is spotlessly clean and the kitchen is fully equipped, including complimentary coffee. Bathroom and bedroom are comfy and clean. Lots of room to get comfy on the living room sectional. Beautiful location by the creek.

beautiful room....very clean beautiful resort...the view from the room isn't that great but the resort it self has many places to enjoy the views ...restaurant the food was amazing hot tub was great

We had a fabulous time with our kids at Andrew’s house, it’s situated in a lovely quiet setting with a balcony to take in the magical views of the beach. The house had everything we needed, to enjoy our stay. We had a short walk to the beach and lovely walk in the forest. All local shops within 5mins drive in Parksville and would also hugely recommend the Parksville community park for the kids to burn off energy. I would hugely recommend The Mount Arrowsmith Brewery for lunch , great service .

The Treehouse Cabin was an excellent space for our group of ten!! Patrycja and Adrian were fabulous hosts. Accommodating to our few requests and quick to reply to any questions we had. The property is a bit of a ride from downtown Victoria, but by being so it allows some peace and privacy from the crowds and traffic. There was so much we could do without even having to leave the property. Air hockey, pool, hot tub, and darts, just to name a few! The home was well stocked with serveware, basic kitchen items, cleaning supplies, some bathroom supplies, and more. If I could do it again, the only thing I would change is planning trips into downtown Victoria a bit better to reduce driving and maybe allowing some more time to enjoy what the home offers!

Awesome spot! The location is absolutely stunning — super peaceful and feels like a proper escape. The spa was a real highlight — great setup, super clean, and perfect for chilling out after a day of exploring. Would 100% stay again.

We (2 adults and 1 child) really enjoyed our stay at Joel’s place. He was very responsive and kind. It was a quiet stay even though it is under a residence. Location was good too - about 5-15 minutes from everywhere we wanted to go. We would recommend to friends and family!

Stunning views. It rained the whole time we were there but the views were still worth it. Very friendly host.

The terrific kitchen/appliances even improved my cooking! Parking is off the road so it is important to refer to instructions, but it therefore has very safe, ample parking and privacy. It is well set up for large gatherings, retreats, gourmet cooking classes, etc, with kitchen, pool, hot tub, sauna. Has wonderful panoramic views of lake — changing light, scullers and crew boats.

We had a wonderful stay at this charming cottage north of Qualicum Beach. The property was perfect for our young family, and the hosts were absolutely fantastic. The highlight of our stay was definitely the pool area. The resort features a small hot tub with a mild temperature, which was ideal for our young kids. The cottage was well stocked with kitchen items and beautifully decorated, making our stay even more enjoyable. It was a nice, quiet resort and property, perfect for a relaxing getaway. Overall, we had a fantastic experience and would love to come back again. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a peaceful and family-friendly vacation spot!

Luke is a fantastic host, always responsive to our many questions! The place is so spacious and the views are incredible. We walked to town every day and often got the bus back. We are already thinking of when we can make a return trip. Thank you Luke and Aurea.
