Beachfront vacation rentals in Maple Bay

This cabin is the perfect lakeside retreat, where every detail is thoughtfully designed to ensure comfort and relaxation. We had an unforgettable family experience, enjoying the serene beauty of the lake right from the private dock. The hot tub provided a soothing escape, and evenings by the fire pit, complete with provided firewood, created cherished memories.​ As a delightful courtesy, we were able to prepare delicious waffles for breakfast, adding a special touch to our mornings. Thank you for the coffee, softdrinks and snacks also. I highly recommend this place; the host is always attentive and ready to assist with anything you might need. It's an exceptional spot for a peaceful and memorable getaway.​

Peter's place was perfect for our three nights on Galiano with our dogs. The house was comfortable and the view was exceptional! We had perfect weather to enjoy the patio and veranda, and it was a great base from which to explore the island. The location on Montague Harbour provided ready access to the Provincial park and we also travelled to several other locations for hikes and beach adventures. Larry welcomed us when we arrived and was available to answer questions as needed. We will definitely stay here again on future trips to Galiano.

Wonderful spot - peaceful - very responsive hosts - definitely go back as didn’t have time use kayaks.

We always enjoy staying at Shannon's as her place feels like home to us. Shannon is friendly, prompt in her communication and her place is supplied with everything for a comfortable family stay. We always look forward to her generous and thoughtful breakfast basket! The short walk to the beach is a special part of our vacation too. Thank you, Shannon, for being a valued host.

Gail's House is a beloved family getaway filled with quirky and interesting marine and nautical pictures and gadgets so lovingly collected. It's very comfortable and right on the dock and the views are amazing. Lucky for us, we were there in prawn season and our hosts gave us the best prawns we have ever had, fresh from the water. I want to return.

We enjoyed Gleb’s airbnb spot. The RV was perfectly situated and provided the privacy that we were looking for. The RV was surrounded by nature and had a beautiful fire pit that overlooked the lake and mountains across. The RV itself had all the amenities you would expect in renting an airbnb. Gleb’s instructions was very helpful.

We had a fantastic stay - right on the ocean with beautiful sunrise and sunset views. The jacuzzi overlooking the water was enjoyed by all. The kitchen is spectacular with everything you could need and the living area is very nice. The full wall of glass windows and sliders with the wrap-around deck was great. The heated floors were an unexpected, but welcome surprise!

Had an incredible weekend at the Boathouse. We booked the space impulsively, intrigued by the unique location and it exceeded our expectations. It was beautifully decorated with the interesting history of the area thoughtfully displayed. We initially had reservations about the level of privacy given that its located by an active marina but the space was thoroughly tucked away. Walking on the small beach below and along the path above, views into the Boathouse were obscured by the greenery and well-thought location of the windows. The private deck facing the water was a sanctuary - we spent a lot of time just sitting and watching the water, cooked dinner on the BBQ, ate meals outside and even used the space for some morning yoga. We fell in love with the surrounding neighborhood, taking many walks around ans dream of living there ourselves one day. James/John were quick to respond to our messages and were incredibly friendly and helpful. I'm already thinking of when I can return.

What a gem of a property to stay at. The property is so well laid out and amenities are so close and convenient. The people at the resort were friendly and fun. The decor was so appealing and fit the vibe of the place so we'll. We enjoyed every second there. Thank you Cam & Carla!!

We loved our time at this condo and will definitely be back! The views and pool are amazing. It’s quiet, bright and well equipped and furnished.

This was one of the best stays in our lives. The place, the views, the feelings was something out of ordinary. We loved the place from the very first moment we found it on the Internet and loved it even more when we arrived there. I would definitely recommend this place and would really like to go back there as soon as we plan another vacation.

We had a lovely time staying in Tammy’s home. It was really clean and very well stocked with everything we needed. She is very responsive and we were able to check in a bit early on our arrival. The bed is very comfortable and there is a lovely view of the water from the patio. We would definitely stay here again! The resort has a tennis court, lots of grills, one campfire pit, dock for crabbing or boats, beach for clamming. The property is very well kept. Thanks again Tammy for such a lovely stay!

Pat's place is awesome. We, a family of four - two adults and two kids (one is at teen age and another one is younger), spent a great long weekend there. Bright, cozy condo with great view from almost any window. It fits all of us, has a nice kitchen with everything you need for your stay. Heated pool with a hot tub, which we and kids enjoyed, just downstairs. The Bay is very good for paddle boarding. We did twice over our stay. If tide is low, you can reach a tiny island where you can find lots of purple and orange sea stars, crabs, and oysters. Ladysmith and Nanaimo suggest great dinner options. Nanaimo also has a nice walkable Marina merging into Maffeo Sutton park. If you like hikes, we tried Extension Ridge Trail hike near Nanaimo and can strongly recommend it to anyone. Malahat Tower is a fun place to visit, just one hour of driving from "Inn of the Sea" resort, we've been there, and were not disappointed. Will definitely stay again at Pat's place.

The stay at Jason's was peaceful and refreshing. It's a beautiful spot and nice and clean.

The unit was exactly as shown in the pictures. It was extremely comfortable for three people with a well-appointed kitchen, large dining area, private patio and a lovely view of the water. We enjoyed using the Inn of the Sea's pool, hot tub, and communal barbecues, and watching the sun come up with our coffees down on the dock. Thank you, Genevieve, for sharing your beautiful place with us - we'll be back!

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay at the Inn of the Sea! Debbie's suite was beautifully furnished and decorated, the bed and sofas were comfy, and we loved the loft style architecture of the townhouse with skylights and tall ceilings. The partial oceanview was also lovely. We enjoyed the amenities offered, like the communal hotub and BBQs (but a set of BBQ metal tongs or flipper weren't found within the suite unfortunately). The only minor con was noticing the outdoor spaces (main and smaller decks) weren't cleaned; the leaves and dirt should've been swept and the tabletop needed wiping too. Once my husband cleaned it, the deck was more inviting and enjoyable. Overall it was a nice place to stay, with lots to explore between Nanaimo and Ladysmith.

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful house. Views from the house are stunning and it’s in a quiet place, walkable to the beach. House was very clean and had all the amenities we needed! Very comfortable. Cameron is a very responsive and friendly host, we had a pretty late check out!

Beautiful quiet home. Big sunny deck lots of chairs and space for all 6 of us. Enjoyed the bbq. Private beach access. Modern clean cabin. Very comfy beds. Kids loved the bunk beds. Awesome to have access to a washer and dryer. Kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. It’s bigger than the pictures show. Would love to come back. Highly recommend.

Beautiful place and view was amazing. Sadly, We didn’t get to sit out on the beautiful deck because of the rain. Well appointed kitchen. Joyce was very quick to get back to us on any inquiries and if we needed anything. They even made us fish and chips one night which were excellent.

Loved the view of the ocean from the various decks. Beds were very comfortable. Kitchen well stocked with utensils , nice touch with the comfort mat in front of kitchen sink. Over all we were extremely pleased with our week stay. Paul was most helpful anytime I reached out to him. We hope to return, in the future, to this home on the sea.

Wonderful place for a big group to stay. 4 rooms with queen beds, each room has its own bathroom, and there’s even a common bathroom in the common area. Very clean and nice place.

This adorable cottage on Shawnigan Lake is one of our favourite stays ever. Impeccably appointed with spotless comfort. A real gem in the middle of a beautiful lake community. A must stay for anyone. We will be back for sure! Thanks Amanda.

We had a fantastic stay at Masons Airbnb. The views are outstanding, the apartment is spotless and the sauna is an added bonus! One of our favorite air bnbs we have ever stayed in! Thank you!

Bernadette was one of the highlights of our stay -- she and her partner Mark were warm and welcoming right from the start. Same goes for their lovely dog Ruby, and their guest dog Skip. If you are unfamiliar with the region, be sure to review the travel instructions carefully, and don't let your phone run out of battery like I did. The helpful text pre-check about coming down the driveway was great because it was all I remembered before losing battery. The unit itself was immaculate and has magical views of forest and river. In addition to a comfy cozy bed, there is a pullout couch bed which was great. The kitchen had the basics, and in addition had some basic seasonings, which is always a bonus. Bernadette showed us around the unit, showed us around the property, explained some of their story and showed us how to use the sauna, and then left us to our own devices. Perfection! I will definitely be staying here again given the opportunity, it's a great place for a quiet retreat.
