Fitness-friendly vacation rentals in Gulf Islands

Great place to stay! Clean, accessible, and Lucy was super helpful when our arrival plans got delayed.

Great location, clean, and cozy!

I'm a woman traveling solo with her service dog, so I'm the kind of traveler who often has to stress and worry about finding accessible accommodations. I'm so lucky I found this spot, it's gorgeous, safe, and 100% walkable area. Her place was so amazing, I booked it again for another stay before I head out of Canada to my next spot in Spain. I'm simply blown away by this host's kindness and friendliness! I even asked them today if they were an angel in disguise. ;-)

We had a lovely stay at H&M’s place. It was spotless, the arrival was friendly and helpful, all the amenities were exactly as described - it was great. As lots of other people have remarked, there’s quite a bit of street noise, so bring good earplugs if you’re a light sleeper. Otherwise, we would happily stay again the next time we’re in Vancouver.

Really liked my stay, host always responded and checked in, nice apartment very clean. Wish location was closer to shops and food ect, too many homeless people close to the location so weary of that but besides that I enjoyed my stay nice stay for 1-3 days. Clear instructions when checking in and out. I would give it 4.5/5 very enjoyable

This is a great place to stay to be next to downtown Victoria. It’s as advertised in the listing’s description and photos. There’s plenty of room for a couple and everything is in good condition. Washroom facilities, washer/dryer units, and wifi all worked well. We did not use any of the cooking appliances. The location is walkable to plenty of restaurants/bars in the area. We were comfortable and felt safe walking around at night; we did not have any issues with noise. Agata is a great host! Her instructions made check-in and check-out super easy. She responded within minutes anytime I messaged her. Overall, I would highly recommend this place, especially for couples, if you want to be next to downtown Victoria.

Beautiful spot right on the water. Super clean and spacious room for two of us. Would stay again for sure!

Coco's place is amazing. She is very easy to work with and she is flexible with check in time as well. She was also present in person during check in (which is very rare in airbnb) and gave a walk through of place as well. Location is convenient as well. We will be back again in future.

This Airbnb is fantastic! It is central to everything and easy walking distance to many delicious restaurants and cafes. Very beautiful inside with thoughtful decoration and necessities on hand. Would absolutely recommend!

Great pool and gym, quiet corner of a busy street, walkable everywhere and most of all an incredible friendly host

This was the second time I’ve stayed at Nelsons place. The locations great, apartment has everything, and Nelson’s available if you need him

Davis place is clean and tidy. It is walkable to Chinatown attractions. It is also conveniently located beside a Skytrain station and a big Asian supermarket.

We had a fantastic stay at Kuz’s property! The location is unbeatable—right in the heart of downtown Vancouver, within walking distance to excellent restaurants, attractions, and public transport. The apartment was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a great visit. Kuz went above and beyond for us. When we ran into a last-minute transportation issue, he responded immediately and truly saved the day. His kindness and quick action made all the difference. He is not only a great host but also a genuinely helpful person. We cannot recommend this place more highly and would absolutely stay here again!

Great spot! Daman addresed any messages quickly from check in to check out. Looked just like the photos, lots of closet space if you're booking for a longer stay, convenient location, safe parking, secure building entry.

Lovely accommodation with amenities and facilities! Only shame was it was quite noisy at night.

Really great apartment. I loved the views from the living room and balcony. Location was perfect too, everything on the door step and 15 min walk to the creek.

Andrew’s place was a gem to find. Beautiful location with an ocean view, the house was perfect for us as two couples traveling together. Private and quiet, located close to downtown Parksville, we were very comfortable there and hope to be able to stay again! Andrew was a very pleasant and proactive host, and we have zero complaints.

When I read other guests reviews, I could tell that Janet sincerely cared for all of her guests. If you are searching for a home away from home, stop searching because Janet is the GEM in the Sunshine Coast treasure box.

The whole family was impressed with the location. It was simply beautiful, with the ocean only a few steps away from the back door. We saw eagles almost every day while we relaxed on the patio, and being from the midwest we all got a kick from observing the tide come in and out. It was also a great location as a home base to drive around and see the sights. The house is about an hour north of Seattle, an easy drive. We also took a day trip to Vancouver, which was one of the nicest cities we've ever visited. The house itself was clean and had everything you might need. Even the mattress was a pleasant surprise, my bad back never bothered me, which is unusual when I travel. Highlights included a wonderful whale watching excursion we took from a town called Anacortes, about 40 mins north of the house. We followed a pod of Orcas for about an hour and a half and had a blast. I also recommend the Flying Heritage and Combat Armor museum in Everett. It has an amazing collection.

We loved our stay at Emily's place. It was very close to Victoria, which is great for sight seeing, but in a small town area. I loved the neighbourhood and found it very charming. Would definitely stay again!

What a charming oasis! This was a great spot with a lovely garden, perfect for dogs and an easy walk (or very easy drive) to some interesting Vancouver sites, we loved it!!

Our family of 5 plus our dog enjoyed our stay at Oceanside Escapes. Johanna and Julie were readily available to answer any questions that we had before and during our stay. The cabin was well-supplied and had a binder listing many local recommendations. It was a short walk to Rathtrevor Beach which we all enjoyed, particularly our dog. All essential amenities and many attractions were nearby. The central air conditioner was especially helpful in keeping the whole cabin cool during the hotter days. We will be back.

As our first Airbnb experience, it set the bar for future experiences. It was exactly what it was described as in the listing. It was immaculately clean. Our group of 4 were very satisfied. And we would highly recommend this property to anyone looking to stay in Parksville.

Bowen's place was very beautiful, though slightly dated. We highly enjoyed the pool and hot tub. The kitchen had basic amenities including coffee, coffee supplies, wine glasses, etc, so we were happy. Bowen was very responsive when we needed anything, and we appreciated his quick communication. There's a shopping center within walking distance, and lots of beautiful trails near the house that were fun to explore. The bedrooms were a bit bright for our liking, and the mattresses a tad hard for our stiff backs but overall it was wonderful and we would stay there again.
