Beachfront vacation rentals in Gilford Beach

Even with a series of unfortunate weather events the stay was great! Do and family are responsive and kind and the place was fantastic! We will be back!

It's a best place and peaceful. Spent our days calmly and the view behind the cottage is awesome.

Daniel gave a thorough intro message of specifics the day of on top of what was already so clearly laid out. The property was beautiful with access to so many activity options. House is clean and spacious. We spent a lot of time on the dock which had a great selection of furniture and sun/shade options. The beach is a close walk. We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend and will likely be back to enjoy the space again!

We had a great stay at the cottage. The place was exactly as shown in the photos and description. Sandra was very responsive which was very helpful. Lots of ski and snowshoeing opportunities around in the winter, definitely worth the experience!

We had an incredible stay at Kenneth's spacious penthouse in Barrie, Ontario. The space featured two bedrooms, a luxurious sauna and massage room, a huge bathroom, dining room and an amazing living area. The well-equipped kitchen allowed us to get creative and prepare delicious meals. Lots of windows offering great light. The sunsets and sunrises are breathtaking. Overall, it was a fantastic experience. In fact, we were having such a wonderful getaway we decided to extend it by an additional night. Be sure to enjoy at least 1 or 2 meals at the Farmhouse Restaurant. The food is fabulous, the service is excellent, and the location simply can't be beat. Thank you for providing us with such a fantastic experience. We're already looking forward to visiting again!

Kathy's place was beautiful and spacious. We were a group of 7, with 4 children total and we had lots of space. It was clean and in a great location. We were there in the winter but look forward to visiting in the summer sometime as well!

amazing location on the waterfront. So relaxing to be away from the city. was great for travelling with kids. thank you for letting us stay

Amazing location and exactly like the pictures ! Such a beautiful place and Jed was so helpful and responsive whenever we needed him. Would recommend to anyone and would for sure come again

We recently had the pleasure of staying at a fantastic condo in Friday Harbour, and we can’t recommend it highly enough! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm hospitality and a stunning view that took our breath away. The condo itself was a perfect blend of luxury and comfort. It was impeccably clean, stylishly decorated, and equipped with all the amenities one could wish for. One of the highlights of our stay was the private balcony, where we spent many mornings sipping coffee and evenings watching the sunset over the harbor. The location of the condo is unbeatable. Just a short walk to charming local shops, restaurants, and the marina, it offered the perfect mix of relaxation and convenience. Overall, our stay at this condo in Friday Harbour was exceptional. It’s clear that the owners have put a lot of thought and care into creating a perfect retreat. If you’re looking for a memorable getaway, this place should be at the top of your list!

Very nice and peaceful location, had an amazing and relaxing time with my family. Host was very responsive and accommodating, great value for money. It felt like home, with amazing restaurants, overall great experience… Hope to be back in summer!

Ollie and Frank were tremendous hosts. We loved the log cabin and all their recommendations were exceptional. We will be back!!!

Mary was very accommodating! The place was clean. The appliances were in great condition. She provided everything that we needed during our WHOLE stay. Most places we’ve been at jist gives us a starter kit, but Mary went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable, and well taken care of. She even gave our kiddos bubble wands when we came in. It’s the little touch that gives the biggest meaning. Thank you! The only thing we wish there was, was more storage. We kept our clothes in our luggages. The rack could use some storage bins maybe? So that we can store clothes in it without it calling off the shelves. But overall the stay was just great! If we come back to Friday harbour again, we sure will come back to Mary!

Gary & Mina were excellent hosts. They greeted us for check in and where very accommodating. Any questions we had were quickly answered via the AirBNB app. The house was full of character and had lots of things to do indoors and outdoors. The kitchen was well stocked with supplies, utensils and kitchen wares. There was a washer/dryer centrally located which was great for towels and the Weber BBQ was in top notch condition. Water toys well maintained (2 kayaks, 1 paddle board, 1 canoe and 1 paddle boat). Pool and hot tub worked great, which was a must for our cottage getaway.

Lovely lovely place. Sitting on the deck watching over the blue waters of the bay - dreamy! Kids had fun at the beach and in the pool. Highly recommend.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this beautiful condo, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. From the moment I arrived, everything was seamless — check-in was easy, the space was spotless, and the amenities were top-notch. The condo was not only stylish and cozy, but also thoughtfully equipped with everything I needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. The location was perfect — close to everything I wanted to explore, yet peaceful and quiet for downtime. I especially appreciated the small touches like the welcome basket, extra linens, and local recommendations. A huge thank you to the host for being so responsive, kind, and accommodating throughout my stay. Your hospitality truly made this a memorable visit, and I’m so grateful. Warmest thanxx..

Idyllic gem on Georgian bay. Perfect for a small family getaway by the lake. The resort pool is a big plus for the kids. Beautiful surroundings and stunning sunsets. Jefferson is a great host. Very friendly and responsive. He kindly accommodated our request.

My stay at Bakraam’s place was absolutely amazing! From the moment we arrived, everything was smooth and well-organized. The home was spotless, cozy, and just as described—if not better! Being so close to the beach and nearby attractions made the location perfect for both relaxation and exploring. Bakraam was an exceptional host. He personally checked in with us to make sure we had everything we needed and even helped us arrange the BBQ, which made our stay even more enjoyable. On top of that, he went out of his way to shovel the snow, ensuring the area was safe and hazard-free—such a thoughtful touch! I can’t recommend this place enough. If you’re looking for a comfortable stay with a top-notch host, this is the place to book. I’ll definitely be returning

Maria and Gus were wonderful hosts, and we really enjoyed our stay at their cottage. They were very responsive and addressed all our concerns. The cottage was well-equipped with everything we needed, including dishes, utensils, towels, and even extra toothbrushes in case we forgot to bring our own! The view of the lake from the back of the cottage was incredible!

Great vacation for the family, we enjoyed everything even though it was Winter! Very private neighborhood and amazing location! P.S Hot tub and sauna were the best (so relaxing) 😎

Beautiful cottage with a spectacular view of the lake! Very quiet and peaceful for rest and relaxation. The fireplace made the cottage even more cozy on some very cold winter days during our stay. The bed was very comfortable and the entire cottage was well set up for a relaxing atmosphere. Everything was easy to find and anything you could possibly need was there. We loved that amenities like grocery stores and restaurants were close by and easily accessible.

The place was spacious and very close to the walk by the water. Brian left clear instructions on checking in and how to use the hot tub. Overall a great weekend getaway for the family :)

We stayed at Duke’s beach house at the end of September for 3 nights. I can see how this place would be an excellent getaway during nice weather, as the yard has a nice fire pit lots of kid toys, and plenty of seating. The beach is just a stones throw from the cottage, and extremely beautiful. Unfortunately, we were there during quite a bit of rainy weather so we didn’t enjoy the outdoors as much as we would have liked, however the inside was comfortable, and had everything we needed for a staycation. There were even toys for our 1 year old daughter to enjoy. The place is a little rustic, so it’s not a place you should go to if you aren’t okay with roughing it a little (as they try to conserve water as much as possible). There is however a fully equipped kitchen, TV, games, etc. Over all, we enjoyed our stay! We would love to go back, hopefully during some nicer weather!

Douglas is a great host. The place was amazing with a great view! Very clean and had everything we needed plus more. We would definitely recommend to others! Thanks for such a great experience!

Kelly was a wonderful host. she was very responsive and accommodating. her cottage was extremely clean, great bbq and kitchen well stocked. Pillows and blankets looked and smelled freshly washed. beds were also very comfortable. would definitely stay again.
