Cottage rentals with a hot tub

East Creek Studio
We really enjoyed our time at the East tide’s cottage! It was lovely to be able to enjoy the hot tub and fireplace and made for a very relaxing environment. We found the pathway leading to the cottage to be a bit “wild” and would recommend not bringing a wheelie suitcase or wearing nice shoes as it was a bit muddy, even on dry days. It’s a simple, quiet getaway nestled in thick growth and we found it quite peaceful.

Cottage on the Bay- Beach, Dock, Kayaks
We had a fantastic stay—everything was peaceful and relaxing. The beach access was excellent, and we absolutely loved spending time around the fire pit in the evenings. The hosts were attentive and easy to reach, making everything effortless. The shower was a bit smaller than expected, but aside from that, everything was great. We also had the joy of seeing seals, lots of starfish, deer, and more—such wonderful wildlife moments! Thanks so much for a lovely stay. We’d definitely come back!

Cottage w/ Hot Tub & Private Beach Access
This was one of the best Air BnB’s I have stayed at. The cottage itself was more beautiful than in the photos. It had one of the best stocked kitchens I have had in an air bnb. Becky was lovely and very helpful and easy to deal with. Would definitely recommend to anyone in the area and look forward to coming back myself.

Dinner Bay Private Cottage
Jacquie place was outstanding and matched the pictures and description. Her place was cozy and had all the items (kitchen ware, linens, etc.) that you would need to feel at home, as well as backups which is always nice. Her property was on many acres, with owls, ravens and her horses which made the experience even more memorable - the hot tub was also a wonderful way to start and end the days. She was an excellent communicator and it was a wonderful first time experience to Mayne Island.

5-Hot Tub & Massage Chair- Amazing Water View
5 stars from me all around! It was an overall relaxing vacation for us. The view is the first thing noticeably unique about this airbnb. Absolutely breathtaking!!! Its even beautiful from inside the room. We enjoyed the massage chair, comfortable bed, tv, portable speaker, and the hot tub. I would recommend this airbnb and would love to visit again!

Chuckanut Bay Beach Cottage
This place is incredible! My best friend and I needed a quick escape from the city and this place was a dream. Amazing location, beautiful views close to town with incredible restaurants. John & Sarah were incredibly kind and welcoming. If you get the chance to stay here, I highly recommend doing so.

Exclusive Oceanfront 4-bedroom w/ incredible views
We had a truly wonderful stay at the house! Everything was just perfect. The home is beautifully set up with so much thought and care - you can tell that every detail was considered to make guests feel comfortable and welcome. The kitchen was incredibly well-stocked with everything we could possibly need, which made cooking for our group so easy and enjoyable. There were plenty of bedrooms, and the layout worked perfectly for our group of 7 people - we all had enough space and felt right at home. The view and location are absolutely stunning. It’s a peaceful, scenic spot, yet close enough to everything we needed. The host was extremely kind and helpful, giving us all the information we needed and answering any questions quickly and kindly. We were so happy with our stay and will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a cozy, well-equipped, and beautiful home away from home!

Burchill's B&B by the Sea
Sally and Dale have such a BEAUTIFUL property - it was the perfect location for a girls’ bachelorette weekend. They were also such kind and responsive hosts, quick to respond to anything we needed, we truly felt right at home.

Sandy’s Beach House - stunning sunsets!
This is our third time staying here and we love it!! We will continue to come back and stay at this little slice of tranquility and fun for the family!

Douglas Beach house " cottage" .
Not only is this home luxurious and immaculate, it is a nourishing step back in time where everything is hand-made, lovingly curated, and generously shared. I can’t recommend this little cottage enough. And if you’re blessed enough to walk the gardens, well…delightful doesn’t even come close. I really recommend this stay for a family or anyone looking to slow down and savour a beautiful time.

Avatar - Oceanfront Luxury Cottage by Eagle Reach
Stunning scenery and beautifully decorated, this home was spectacular. I wish we could have stayed longer, we will definitely be back. Of special mention was the comfortable bed and pillows!

The Cottages at Twin Coves, Orcas Island (#2 of 2)
This was a wonderful setting for family connection. The expansive property gave the kids plenty of space to explore. We so enjoyed kayaking to Skull Island, many rounds of frisbee golf, hiking from the property to expansive views, and crabbing from the dock. The rental was exactly as advertised, and Dennis and Lynna were very thoughtful, responsive hosts.

Willow Beach Cottage
My wife and I had a wonderful stay at Jennifer's quaint, characterful, cozy cottage. The location, property, and home were charming, with lovely, mature landscaping, fields of grass, water view framed by trees, and a private little beach. The antique furniture, lace curtains, and multiple vases of fresh-picked flowers and greenery all added romantic touches. The master bed was very comfortable and Jennifer kindly customized the bedding to accommodate our feather allergy. Although the property is a compound with other cottages, the setting was extremely private both indoors and out, on account of the large lot, separate access, and screening of mature trees. The wi-fi was weak, so perhaps not the ideal location for working, but perfect for a romantic getaway!

Poirier Cove - house on the beach
Corinne was a fantastic host. Her beach house is tranquil, immaculately clean and the property is absolutely outstanding . The kids toys and games kept our toddlers busy when they weren’t searching the beach for treasures. we can’t wait to come back!!

Cottage with Olympic National Park Mt. Views
Great stay in the wilderness close to Olympic national park.

Garden Cottage A, heart of Lopez Village.
Marvelous lovely retreat in the heart of Lopez Village. It has become an annual visit for us with the Tour d Lopez ride. THANKS for a wonderful stay. We will be back!

La Conner-Kahlo Cottage-Good Vibes w/Water View!
We stayed at this cozy cabin for our mini-moon, and it was everything we hoped for and more. My family used to own this cabin, so it holds a special place in my heart—and the new owners have truly done an amazing job making it feel just right. It’s clear they’ve put so much love and care into maintaining its charm while adding thoughtful updates. We felt instantly at home. Can’t wait to come back and create even more memories here!

Dreamlike Lakefront Cabin on Lake Sutherland
Great stay! Very small but quiet getaway location. Definitely can’t imagine staying in that space with more than 2 people. There was no coffee table which was where we were supposed to find extra linens so I’m not sure what happened but it was fine regardless. Everything was fairly clean, easy to find. Lots of spider webs all over the patio and furniture, but it’s nature. Would stay here again on a summer day.

Studio Seaclusion Guest Cottage close to the beach
We had a wonderful time staying here for the holiday weekend. It is such a peaceful area to relax in, but close to town for activities as well. The space was very clean and instructions for directions and arrival were very clear as we did arrive in the dark. We can’t wait to stay again!

Burrows View Cottage
What a perfect place! the best appointed kitchen I've seen in an airbnb. We loved our time here and would love to come back some time. We didn't realize there was a close neighbor from the photos but there's only one and the place is quiet and tucked back from the road and the views are breathtaking. Watching the clouds roll in, the sun set over the island, and hearing the birds chirp was magical.

Beach Garden Cottage
We really enjoyed our stay here! The guest house was spotless and well organized, we had no trouble finding everything we needed. We also appreciated the decor, we felt right at home after a long day hiking. Would definitely stay here again given the opportunity.

Mill Bay Cottage **Vancouver Island Getaway**
Wonderful cozy tiny cottage, quiet, clean and tidy, comfortable bed, very well equipped kitchen, absolutely everything you need for a great stay. Amazing hosts, very responsive and super friendly. Five stars all around.

High bank waterfront, private beach access *views!
I had a wonderful stay, enjoying the quiet surroundings where you can sit on the porch to listen to the birds and watch the bunnies and deer. Very close to Greenbank Farm and Coupeville to grab food on your way to local parks and hikes. The house looked just like the pictures and had everything you need. Most importantly, the master bed was extremely comfortable.

Windance Cottage
Gorgeous setting , beautiful views. Lovely place to watch for whales . The house is very comfortable , bright and open . I would not hesitate to book this again.
