Guest suite on a quiet country property

J HanneRating, 5 stars1 week ago

We love rural living, and Bob's place is super. It's tucked into the forest. There are no traffic sounds - just birdsong in the mornings and frogs at night. The pond is beautiful, the koi are amazing, and the veggie gardens are extensive. Bob's house and suite are meticulously crafted. Check out the wood floors that he installed himself, from maple trees cut on his own property. Beautiful! We loved staying there and most of all, we appreciated Bob's generosity. He shared information about the area, and even spent part of one morning touring us around Duncan. We learned so much with his help. What a great host! We hope to return in future.

Oceanfront, Alcove Beachfront

PhoebeRating, 5 stars2 months ago

This is a beautiful, tranquil location and lovely home. DM is a very attentive host, almost like a mom :) There were a lot of thoughtfully tailored touches that welcomed us and made us feel at home, including some really lovely breakfasts. It made for a very nice, cozy getaway with a lot of nice perks - massage table, firepit, and a super comfortable hot tub. if you're looking to be charmed by East Sooke, this is a fantastic place for it!

WaterView,Impeccable Studio Cottage, Walk to Town

MikeRating, 5 stars1 week ago

The place is small and perfectly appointed. Literally everything you need from Queen sized bed to full kitchen to washer and dryer to large fridge and freezer. The outdoor deck (with BBQ) was perfect place for coffee in the morning and evening wine. If you like birds and birding you will find the home perfectly nestled into the trees that are home to many species from Woodpeckers to Nuthatches. We walked to and from all the restaurants in Eastsound everyday making the location perfect for exploring the entire island.

The Red Harbor: Retreat/Refresh/Rekindle

BrandyRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago

Awesome spot for our group of 7 buddies. Walked to the small public beach to watch the sunset and star gaze. A couple of us even did a cold plunge. Hot tub was great after a long day of mtb. Kitchen accommodated our large group for family meals and the proximity to eastsound for brunch at Brown Bear on Sunday was great! Can’t wait to come back.

Beachfront paradise

RuslanRating, 5 stars9 months ago

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 Cottages at Twin Coves, Orcas Island (#1 of 2)

RebekahRating, 5 stars6 months ago

Lynna and Dennis’s cottage was the single best airbnb experience we’ve had. The space is beautiful and cozy, and our hosts were infinitely kind and welcoming. There is so much to do on this property—it was a true “choose your own adventure” experience. It seemed like every day we discovered a new nook or cranny that Lynna and Dennis have put there to surprise and delight guests. We kayaked, explored the tide pools, lit the wood stove when it got chilly out, and had an all around wonderful time. Their recommendations for things to try around the island were spot on. (Check out the whale watch they suggest—we had a blast, and learned a lot about the region!) There is so much more to be done and enjoyed on this property and on Orcas than we could fit into four days, and we sincerely hope we’ll have the chance to return soon!

Beautiful WaterViews, Pet-Friendly, Close to Town

AnyaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

Cool Breeze is absolutely above and beyond! While we have stayed in cozy AirBnBs before, this place is simply amazing. We thoroughly enjoyed all the loving touches including a kitchen fully stocked with every tool you need to make a meal, the collection of vinyl records, and generally the charming cozy atmosphere of the house. Really appreciate how lovingly the hosts have put everything together, down to all the logistical details that made our stay very smooth. We certainly hope to stay again here sometime.

We had a beautiful stay at Sandra’s gorgeous home! She was such a lovely, communicative host who gave us all sorts of great suggestions for the area. The location is perfect- relaxing and quiet, but not too far from fun activities! We’d definitely stay again, thanks so much for having us, Sandra!

Really lovely place in Cowichan Valley. Jane was a lovely and kind host. The place was exactly as shown/described, with a well stocked kitchen and a comfortable bed. Would stay here again when we're back in Duncan!

The Cottage: Chef's Kitchen, Bay View, EV Charger

DmitryRating, 5 stars7 months ago

This house will make your trip to San Juan even more memorable. Barbara’s attention to detail amazed us, we kept discovering little things around the house, like a tray with games, additional blankets and pillows to stay cozy in the living room, flashlights in the nightstands to find your way around at night (it’s actually not needed since Barbara thought about motion lights around the house). If you want to feel being taken care of, Barbara’s place is highly recommended!

Poirier Cove - house on the beach

TanyaRating, 5 stars1 week ago

This won’t be surprising because it’s been said in every review. This place is amazing. To have an acre and a half of private, oceanfront property is rare. We loved everything. Sitting on the deck with a glass of wine listening to the waves come in was sublime. Corinne is for sure the quickest, friendliest, most generous host I’ve encountered through Airbnb. Bathrooms had great water pressure. When we had a little downtime, the TV was big and fantastic. The hikes around the area are just top notch. What people haven’t mentioned though is Corinne doesn’t have a lengthy ‘clean to do list’ for when you leave. I also think people are walking away from Airbnb’s due to price gouging. This place is crazy reasonable and I will come again! Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home with us!
