Vacation rentals with beach access in Nelson

We loved having two separate bedrooms with dining in the middle. The deck was nice with forest views while the front window peeked out at the water. The creek next door was running full capacity which was great for a good night's sleep. Marsha even made us a fresh rhubarb pie when we returned from Ainsworth Hot Springs next door. Great place for the money!

Brent and Rose (and their pups, Amber & Coco) are fabulous hosts! It’s a beautiful location, they are friendly and proactive communicators, and it’s a perfect space. We’ll definitely be back!

Location was great, place was spacious and great. Exactly as expected. I recommend!

This is Quite simply a hidden gem in Nelson !! .Loved my stay here and Maria is such a sweetheart. Would 100% recommend

Maria was such a delightful host. She greeted us upon arrival and made sure we had everything we needed including some restaurant recommendations. The apartment was exactly how it is described and it was very well appointed with a lot of personal touches. We would definitely reserve this unit or another of her places if we return to Nelson. What a great little spot. Thank you for taking such good care of us.

This place is a dream. Just stunning. Pictures don’t do the view justice. We sat and watched hummingbirds on the deck at sunset, and woke up to the incredible sunrise in the morning from bed. The rental was very well equipped with nice pots, pans, cutting boards, etc. appreciated the nice coffee and French press machine.

Will stay again

This was a lovely place to stay - Michelle made it so easy. Would come back if I was back in Nelson!

Wow! We had such an amazing time at the Rusty Bear…we didn’t want to leave! The location is incredible, just a few steps from the water. The sauna and running down to the lake combo comes highly recommended! The trains were not a bother at all but glad of the warning as the horn is loud haha! There are amazing trails just down the road, the bakery is amazing - great pizzas on Fridays and really good coffee and baked goods (the famous cinnamon buns did not disappoint!). The house was super clean, and the little dog touches were really stand out - beds, toys, biscuits! It’s a great spot for dogs. There are neighbours close but you can’t see them at all from the property and hardly even from the beach. So wonderfully idyllic

The perfect lakefront escape! This cabin is the jackpot—a private beach, all the nature & cabin vibes, and enough space to fit my modern family of five plus our two fur babies. The cabin is spacious, comfy, quirky layout and everything you could possibly need from games, kitchen wear to towels & more. Great communication with Craig, easy to get into. If you’re craving a secluded, serene spot by the lake, this is it.

We stayed for three weeks and it felt like it was our home. Jenna always responded to inquiries right away and was eager to share info about the surrounding area. Supplies were restocked immediately when we needed them. We also got a complimentary cleaning midway through our stay which was nice… would 100% stay here again.

We had a wonderful stay at Lisa's. The location is perfect, easily walkable to anywhere in town. The house is spacious and comfortable. The kitchen is very well stocked. The entire home was spotless. Would definitely stay again.

Fantastic stay at the Hidden Half Mile Lake House! This is a beautiful home in a beautiful setting. We were blown away by the views from every aspect of the house including the hot tub! Attention to detail was amazing and everything was top spec. Despite being within walking distance of Nelson there is a feeling of peace and tranquility around the area. The hosts do a brilliant job of keeping the house in great condition and Jake went out of his way to come by and blow up the paddle boards for our use! It’s not at all surprising that this house was recently listed as one of the best AirBnBs in Canada. We would thoroughly recommend anyone to book this place and we would love to return one day! Thank you Jake and Mariah!

Place was spotless and had everything you need for a comfortable stay. Loved the view and Marty was suggested places to go and see. Felt right at home and will come again when possible.

amazing place. Great location for Nelson. private. big place. Great rooms and beds. the back yard is amazing for dogs. Great patio. Britt is amazing at communication. Great kitchen with all the amenities. if I come to Nelson again it will be the first place I look up. thank you!

This is a wonderful property in a fabulous location overlooking Kootenay Lake. 6 of us including a 90 year old father enjoyed the spacious open plan living area making extensive use of the kitchen. All of us thought the mattresses excellent for comfort! We had a number of things to ask James and he was endlessly responsive. We would happily stay here again!

We absolutely loved our stay in this beautiful Airbnb in Kaslo! The unit has been recently renovated and feels brand new—everything is clean, modern, and thoughtfully done. The space was incredibly comfortable and had everything we needed, especially the well-equipped kitchen which made it easy to cook our own meals. The location couldn’t be better, with a coffee shop right downstairs and everything in town within easy walking distance. We especially enjoyed our daily walks along the water—so peaceful and scenic. The hosts were fantastic: friendly, responsive, and clearly take pride in creating a welcoming space. Highly recommend this spot if you're visiting Kaslo—we’d definitely stay here again!

... and the award for the best airbnb ever goes to ... Erin! Seriously top notch hosting in this hidden gem of a town! We could not ask for more for our few day stay in Nelson! Erin made sure to fully equip this apartment above and beyond any possible expectations, and has managed to exceed all of them by far. Needless to say, we had the absolute best time here and have thoroughly enjoyed ourselves! The location is perfect, with amazing food served right next door, and literally all the best restaurants are a stone throw away from the front door, a few minute walk, and the whole town is your oyster, pretty much! I cannot recommend this place enough, it epitomises the perfect combination of luxury and homely accommodation together with the personal touch of a superb host! Will most definitely repeat! 5 stars + 5 stars = 10 star experience! ☺️

This Airbnb is STUNNING. The space is so beautifully renovated. Beds were comfortable, linens were great, storage was amazing, and the cellar was such a cool bonus! We opened the windows during the day to hear the music played at the Angry Hen next door, but heard nothing at all once they were closed. We loved having the washer/dryer as well, and the fridge was great for storing our food. We cooked full meals in the kitchen and found what we needed, and had all of the towels/blankets/pillows we could ever need. Fabulous stay, right in the mix. Would recommend!

The Brickworks is a fantastic place to stay in Kaslo-right downtown, so the shops and restaurants are literally a 2 minute walk, and the lake and River Trail are also just a few minutes away, for some beautiful, scenic rambles. Gorgeous newly renovated space with a crazy comfy bed, all new appliances (washer/dryer and dishwasher!), and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook-not always the case with some Air B and B’s, but this one was well thought out and stocked with all the essentials. Honestly, from check in all the way through, this was an ideal stay.

The condo at Red Mountain was spacious and perfectly located, just a short walk to the ski lifts, making it an ideal spot for a winter getaway. It was stocked with everything we needed. Plenty of amenities to make our stay comfortable. Bridget was great! She provided clear instructions and was very responsive when we had any questions. We would definitely stay here again. Highly recommend!
