Granthams Landing Oceanfront Villa
We spent a fantastic weekend at Raymond's beautiful place with stunning views looking out on to the water. Raymond was very helpful and quick to respond to any questions we had. We would love to go back one day in the future!

Cozy Beach House
Silly me. I was so busy, unpacking, and feeding my kids when I checked in, that I forgot to open the window in the living room for a couple of hours. When I did I was absolutely stunned by the beauty. Gorgeous views of the strait, coupled with visions of iced capped mountains. Also, The place is located perfectly between the two towns. The place itself is very clean, and looks exactly as it does in the photos. Beds are very comfortable and the backyard is fenced for your furry friend. In all we had a great experience at Denas, my family, and I will certainly be back.

cheerful 2 bedroom home ,bbq pets are welcome
We had a comfortable, relaxing, worry free stay. Isabella and Antonio were welcoming but also respectful of our privacy. The neighborhood was perfect for walking our dog. Location was great for anything we needed. Close to the dock where we met our fishing guide Marc Belanger too.

Quiet Country Paradise with EV charger

Saratoga Beachfront Villa-ON the Beach!
We had an incredible stay at Saratoga Beach Resort! The location is absolutely stunning, steps from a beautiful sandy beach where we could relax, walk for miles, and watch the tides roll in and out. The unit was spotless, cozy, and thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The bed was very comfortable, and we loved the peaceful, quiet atmosphere, it truly felt like a dream retreat. We were lucky to visit during a quieter time and it felt like we had the beach almost to ourselves. Communication was smooth and easy, and check-in was a breeze. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a peaceful getaway by the ocean. We’re already dreaming about coming back!

Ocean Views All Around
We had a wonderful stay at Christi's Suite and Carriage Home. It looked exactly like the photos and had such a cozy feel, with thoughtful touches throughout the place. The view was stunning, and even with the rain, the patio was a lovely spot for morning coffee. Great location - walking distance from the village. Thanks for a great stay-we’d definitely love to come back!

Eagles Landing - Waterfront Heritage Estate
Celebrated here with family including grandkids. Perfect location and layout for us despite the stormy weekend. Many rooms helped keep the noise down when needed. Enjoyed the large dining room for us all and the great walkability to town. But mostly….the view!! Sitting with a coffee in hand and watching the storm was amazing!Thanks so much for providing such a lovely venue!

3- BR Retreat with Pool
Had a great stay here with my two kids and our dog. Stayed for two weeks and would definitely recommend for long stays. The place has everything you need and close to shops to get anything else you might be looking for. Grocery delivery availabe, Uber eats too in case you don’t feel like cooking and plenty of local attractions to keep you busy!
Your guide to Hornby Island
All About Hornby Island
Hornby Island is one of two northernmost Gulf Islands near Vancouver Island's Comox Valley, a region well known for its white, sandy beaches that stretch around Tribune Bay before meeting the turquoise waters of the Salish Sea. The island's three provincial parks are a mix of Northwest rainforest, dramatic cliffs, and tranquil warm-water beaches. With more than 70 hiking and biking trails, Hornby Island is a popular destination for hikers and cyclists of all skill levels. The calm, warm waters surrounding the island are filled with marine life and unique sandstone reefs, luring divers worldwide. Hornby Island is one of the few places in the world where divers can spot sixgill sharks.
While the island is known for its lush parklands and outdoor activities, it's also easy to spend a day touring one of the acclaimed wineries here. You could also plan an afternoon around exploring the studios, galleries, and workshops that showcase the works of local painters, sculptors, potters, and metal workers in this thriving artist community. Hornby Island has one of the densest artist populations in Canada.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Hornby Island
Warm temperatures and sunny skies make summer an ideal time to enjoy the bustling beaches around Hornby Island. This is also when you can grab fresh ingredients for your meals at the Hornby Farmers Market, which offers diverse, quality goods from artists, bakers, and growers every Saturday from May to September. Fall brings cool, comfortable temperatures and a relaxed setting. The island has a unique microclimate, which means it gets less rain and slightly warmer temperatures during the winter months. Most restaurants and shops close from October to April, so prepare to cook your meals at your accommodations. Starting in March, Hornby Island comes alive with blooming wildflowers, pleasant weather, and the start of herring season, bringing bald eagles and sea lions to its shores. Kayak around the bay for an eagle sighting or head up one of the many trails on a mountain bike.
Top things to do in Hornby Island
Mount Geoffrey Escarpment Provincial Park
Running along the southwest coast of Hornby Island, Mount Geoffrey Escarpment Provincial Park features a stunning ridge and several trails with breathtaking views of Denman Island, Vancouver Island, and the Coast Mountains. Start your morning on the Cliff Trail, a popular hike in the Comox Valley region. A steep flight of wooden stairs leads to gorgeous vistas and a lush rainforest. The Cliff Trail is a 3.7-mile out and back trail with moderate elevation gains.
Helliwell Provincial Park
Head to St. John Point in Helliwell Provincial Park to dive with sixgill sharks, making sure to always keep a respectful distance. These mysterious, deep-water creatures can grow to 15 feet in length and are typically sighted from May to September off Flora Island. The island is one of the few locations in the world, and the only location in the Strait of Georgia, with a sixgill shark community. Explore underwater gardens and caves at Lambert Channel, Maude Reef, Heron Rocks, and Norris Rocks.
Tribune Bay Beach
Tribune Bay Beach is a slice of paradise on Hornby Island. It’s an expansive beach of fine, white sand that is surrounded by woods and hillsides cloaked in wildflowers. The shallow water nearly reaches tropical temperatures during the summer, ideal for swimming, snorkeling, and stand-up paddlingboarding. A five-minute walk from downtown Hornby Island, you can explore the unique shops and eateries after a day in the sun.
