Kid-friendly vacation rentals in North Cowichan

Our hosts were very responsive when we communicated. The home had very comfortable beds and it was kept clean. Nice fenced yard for our dog and a walking area at back of house, accessible by gate. Thanks for a lovely stay.

Lovely home was a perfect location for our family Christmas away. Lots of space, well appointed home, big kitchen/dining area. House is located in a central area and we were able to walk or catch a bus to anywhere we wanted to go. Would highly recommend.

Our stay at Anna's was wonderful. We were a group of 4 ladies and we stayed for 4 nights. We were all impressed by how cozy, well stocked and clean the place was. The place was spotless, shower is awesome, beds are comfortable (twin bed mattresses are suitable for kids, not adults), coffee is provided. We walked to the beach everyday and the street was quiet and peaceful. Check in was easy and Anna was wonderful. Photos in the ad represent the home well. Great stay and we would stay again. Thank you Anna

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!

We loved staying at Dave’s Central location perfect for Nanaimo adventures, and super close to the ferry We’d love to get back some day!

Tim and Patti were great hosts. We enjoyed our stay and hope to return when next on Mayne Island. The space was clean, comfortable, well-equipped, and peaceful. We were wowed by the great views and appreciated being so close to the trails. Thank you for such a relaxing long weekend!

Good place for large groups and dogs:) Awesome to enjoy the pool and hot tub!

Travis was very helpful throughout our whole stay. We loved the cozy house in a quiet street and even more so set back from the street. We stayed there with two families (two adults plus two kids each) and there was plenty of space for all of us - also for dining inside and out on the terrace. We made use of Travis' barbecue once. The area is lovely with its historic houses and there are supermarkets within walking distance as well as restaurants and lots of lovely cafes. The kitchen is great and even though you are expected to replace things when they run empty, which goes without saying, it's great to stay in a house that is usually lived in and you don't have to start buying everything from scratch. The only thing that didn't go well was that we had booked for the 8 of us but there were only 7 beds available. But since Travis is quick on his communication we could resolve that swiftly with a self-inflating airbed stowed in the house. All in all we can totally recommend Travis ;-)

Stephen’s place was a fantastic stay! It was clean, cozy, and easy to find. The property had everything you could need for a comfortable visit. It’s also pet-friendly, which was perfect—my dog was happy and loved having a yard to play in. Great value and highly recommended!

The apartment has a lot of charm; was very clean, and very comfortable. Communication was excellent. A great location in North Vancouver.

Wonderful suite on the lower level of a character house in East Van. Quick, kind communication.. clean thoughtful space, beautiful little patio zone.. super close to everything on Commercial Drive and just down the road from a fantastic park (open green space, community gardens, tennis courts with views of the mountains!) Mieke was kind to let me check out late as they didn’t have someone arriving today which made my travel much smoother. I’d stay again in a heartbeat. You can hear the family upstairs from time to time but even less than I expected. Bed seemed very new - firm but comfy - having laundry is always a bonus. Loved it all. Thanks!

We stayed one night at Russells place. The location was conveniently situated for us in relation to the ferry terminal. What we appreciated about the location was that we had our own entrance and space. It was lovely to be able to sit outside on the balcony. The bathroom was spacious, with nice toiletries. Unfortunately, we couldn't cook in the kitchen, but we were aware of that as it was mentioned in the description. Luckily, the Nanaimo bars made up for it. What we personally find a bit of a shame — and this unfortunately happens at almost all Airbnbs — is that there’s no personal contact anymore. A key lockbox is very convenient, but we also feel it takes away a bit of the personal touch.

Hulya and Muzo’s place was perfect! I truly appreciated the cleanliness of the apartment; it was absolutely spotless—definitely a 10/10! The hosts were incredibly warm and accommodating, making the check-in and check-out process feel effortless. Their thoughtful recommendations for local activities and dining options were invaluable and really enriched our stay. The location of the apartment could not have been better! It was conveniently situated near transit lines, offering easy access to a wide array of delightful restaurants and charming shops. Coming from a bustling city, I was pleasantly surprised that the outside noise didn’t disturb us at all. In fact, it felt just like home. I can't wait to return and would certainly book again the next time I'm in town.

We stayed at Raphael's for a week, and it was a great. The place was a bit small and it wasn't the most soundproof suite, but it was still quite reasonable and our toddler had no issue going to sleep. The suite is clean and the location is amazing, being steps away from a park and very walkable to grocery stores and restaurants. Raphael was very responsive and his flexibility in letting us check in early was greatly appreciated. Would definitely stay here again.

After travelling to Vancouver, many times in the past few years, I have to say that this is our favourite Airbnb. The location is fantastic. It’s close to the university many restaurants and the beach. Patrick was amazing host too, came out and met us when we arrived and was always responsive to my questions. He allowed us to plug our car into the garage outlet. The place it’s itself is spotless and brand new with all the amenities listed. Comfortable beds which is always a very important part of traveling! I’ve already put it in our favourite category for Vancouver stays. We will be back!! Be sure to get a cinnamon bun from Ground for Coffee. It was epic!!

We had a great stay at the rental. In particular, we loved the location and proximity to great cafes and restaurants on Main Street. As we walked around the neighbourhood, we were fortunate to see all the Cherry Blossoms which were so pretty. Finding free street parking right outside the house was very easy. Hosts were lovely and the suite was comfortable and met our needs for our short stay.

We had such a wonderful stay at Kate’s place! The location was perfect — tucked away in a quiet spot downtown, but just a short walk to so many great restaurants, shops, and attractions. Having a parking space was a huge bonus since we had a rental car. The unit was super clean, easy to access, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Just a heads-up for future guests: the AC unit isn’t installed until May, so it was a little warm at night even with the fan and windows open, but it was totally manageable. Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely recommend Kate’s place — we’d happily stay here again!

From the moment I walked in I already couldn’t wait to come back. The view was beautiful, and the space was spacious yet cozy. Being October it was a bit cooler in Qualicum, but with the electric fireplace and baseboard heaters I didn’t feel it inside! The kitchen had so many little touches that felt thoughtful, from drinks in the fridge, spices in the cupboard, and all the utensils and pans to cook a meal in. Barry was proactive with messaging and very responsive when I had a question ahead of my stay. A perfect weekend getaway!

Kristine's place was exactly as described and is in a perfect downtown location. We had easy access to lots of restaurants and attractions and transportation was easy as well. The condo itself was clean and had everything we needed.

We had a wonderful stay! Super clean, easy access to downtown Friday Harbor. Highly recommend!

We loved out stay at Robby's place, which we booked for the Taylor Swift Eras Tour. Lots of other people had hosts let them down for this, but Robby was kind, responsive, reliable and just fantastic all through. The beds are comfy, the views are spectacular, and we really enjoyed everything about being so centrally located.

Place was gorgeous, Iris was a sweet and responsive host. We will be back again 100%

It’s definitely a fantastic place to stay! Beautiful, comfortable, clean and very well equipped with everything you may need. Great location and the host is also amazing. I totally recommend Alisson’s apartment.

Thank you for having us! Your directions off the ferry were perfect. We arrived and the house was easy to get into, was super clean, had printed directions for everything in the house. The house is literally on top of the main strip. Could not have been more convenient! Highly recommend this property to anyone who will be in the area!
