Vacation rentals with a patio in Lake Cowichan

Before arrival, Chris sent instructions walking us through the check in process, the building and property codes, complete with pictures. This made the whole process of checking into the property a lot easier. Getting access to the parking lot the first time requires you to retrieve the key from the lock box outside the unit but the detailed instruction helped immensely. The property itself is clean, warm, comfortable, and very welcoming. He even had spices and oils in the cabinet, aluminum foil, ziplock bags - all the small things (we didn't need to use any of them but it was nice that they were there! )The record player was a lovely touch and we enjoyed listening to some of the records. The only thing we I wished was there - an umbrella! (lol - it rained the entire week of our stay). There are plenty of restaurants and grocery stores close by and we felt safe walking around and exploring the area. Overall, Chris' place felt like home away from home and we'd stay here again.

We had such a lovely stay! The place was perfectly situated right by the water, which made for the most peaceful mornings and beautiful views. It was cute, cozy, and had everything we needed—especially the well-equipped kitchen, which was great for cooking a few meals in. Everything was just right for our little vacation. Would absolutely stay again!

Astrid and Stephen’s place in the marina was an absolute gem. When we first arrived, we were greeted by a friendly neighbour who so happened to be Stephen who showed us to our unit, and helped us check in. Though it rained for much of our visit, the views were still stunning—peaceful, calming, and a perfect escape. The home itself was pristine and full of charm, clearly cared for with thought and love. Every little detail made it feel like a true retreat. We flew in for my son’s hockey playoffs, and the location couldn’t have been better—an easy and scenic trip to and from the arena. In fact, we loved it so much that we added two extra nights to our stay instead of touring to Victoria. No regrets! The local touches were a highlight—morning walks for fresh sourdough bread from Grain, amazing local wines at nearby restaurants that we walked to for a few lunches, dinners and a stop for some delicious tubs of local ice cream that we stocked up on! Grateful.

Really good location and Natasha had several amazing recommendations to try out as well! Clean home, but my only suggestion would be a bit more towels. Thank you!

Great place to stay, beautiful location, perfect for walking your fur baby, safe neighbour hood, relaxing balcony with a great view, simply wonderful experience!

Kirsten was very friendly and accomodating. I'm grateful she accepted our last minute booking and she also let us check out later than the set time. They have a very curious and adorable orange cat who hung out with us for a while during our stay and we really appreciated his company

A wonderful stay in an absolutely stunning location! The photos and description are perfectly accurate, and the place is wonderful to spread out relax or use as a homebase while visiting Sidney. Both bedrooms and bathrooms are spacious and stocked full of amenities, and the kitchen is very functional with a great open room and beautiful balcony overlooking the water. Victoria is about a 25 minutes drive away (depending on traffic) but the suite is close to many amenities including stores, restaurants, the Victoria Airport and the ferries to Vancouver. Highly recommend and would stay here again.

Super clean, great location. Patrick followed up constantly to make sure we had everything we needed. Highly recommend

Jacqueline’s place was absolutely gorgeous and perfect for our group of four adults and three kids. The house was absolutely gorgeous and full of thoughtful touches and the neighborhood was darling and near amenities- a grocery store, some quick restaurants and a Starbucks were nearby and the beach and a cute park were right down the road! Victoria was a short, convenient drive away. We could not have asked for a more lovely place to stay for our family trip, and look forward to staying again someday!

Absolutely beautiful home away from home. Michelle's place is impeccably clean and well appointed. We loved the back patio when it was sunny out. Highly recommended. 5 Stars all around!

Our 4th time at this lovely Airbnb. We truly think of it as our home away from home. Courtney is the best host!

Spacious home with a beautiful view! Well equipped kitchen. Very quiet neighborhood. Had a wonderful week.

We loved the great location and easy walk to Granville Island. The well stocked kitchen allowed us to make the most of our food finds at Granville Market. The sky lights in the home make it very bright and welcoming. We hope to come back soon.

We were very impressed with Sheri's place! it was by far the all over nicest rental we have stayed at. It was very clean and tidy and the place was lovely inside and out. The location is a nice quiet residential area and just a few minute walk to the beach and spit . I would highly recommend Sheri's place , 5 stars all the way!!

This was the most incredible little escape! The apartment was spotless, beautifully set up, and had everything I needed. The pull-out couch was comfortable, and the main bed was perfect for a great night’s sleep. The view from the front yard is absolutely stunning, with mountains that take your breath away. It is also so central, making it easy to get around Nanaimo. The owners are very friendly and welcoming, and their sweet big dog greeted me warmly from the upper deck, which made it feel even more like home. I could not have asked for a better place to stay. I would highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a peaceful and beautiful getaway!

such a great place to spend Easter with my family! lots of room, nice and clean and well equipped kitchen

The space was clean, organized and comfortable, highly recommended.

Iman was a fabulous host, very friendly and made us feel at home straight away. The apartment was perfect for our needs and very well stocked with many extras which was greatly appreciated. We can highly recommend this apartment and wish to thank Iman for being such a wonderful host.

Our best Airbnb experience yet! Rohan is extremely responsive and helpful. His house is very nice, exactly as represented. Very clean and attractive. So many extra touches, including household and kitchen items. Excellent location: short walking distance to grocery store, shops, restaurants, cafes, Granville Island, Kitsilano beach, downtown Van only short drive.

Incredible! This was truly the place to stay. Everything you need, comfortable and luxurious, location, easy communication start to finish. We are very happy with our stay.

This place is a real gem and the host was lovely! Highly recommend !

Great host was able to meet up a bit ealier as I got into Vancouver ealier then check in time. The unit had a hair curler which save me time to the salon, and great location in Richmond. Clean and nice condo. ;)

Stunning views and a wonderful space with a delightful garden. We loved it here and did not want to leave. This property has access to the ocean, and a huge deck to watch the ocean and wildlife. The suites are well appointed, clean and spacious. The suites even included binoculars! We would recommend this spot - it was well worth the drive.

stayed at 201 for our daughter's wedding. Everything from check in to check out was flawless. The amenities provided were above and beyond and exactly as described. Our hosts made our experience stress free and easy to manage. I would highly recommend staying at the 201.
