Waterfront vacation rentals in Vancouver Island

Great location -

We loved this place. The view of cowichan bay and the marina are spectacular and cowichan bay in itself may be the cutest place we’ve ever been. Lots of great restaurants nearby and great for just strolling around. Astrid made an earlier check in possible which was great and the apartment was very clean and nicely decorated. We felt right at home! Highly recommend

Beautiful property—neat little nook tucked into the hillside. We really enjoyed the gas firepit on the patio! Really lovely place for adults to stay, slightly challenging with an infant because washing bottles is hard in the sink and the shower head is quite high so no ideal way to bathe the baby. Would highly recommend for adults or families with older children though! Property was gorgeous and the space very comfortable and romantic feeling. Hosts were very accommodating and set up a pack and play for us and were responsive and helpful when needed. We saw so much wildlife on the property it was very peaceful. Thanks! Hope to return!

Perfect location in the heart of the city. Lots to see and do within walking distance. Great hosts - quick to respond, flexible check in and they gave us suggestions on things to see and do. The apartment was clean and had everything we needed. Would stay here again.

We had a lovely time staying on Discovery Bay -they have a beautiful home with great views !I If you are looking to stay in the area or visit Olympic national Park, this is a great option!

Two words gorgeous views!!! Looked forward to having my cup of coffee on Kelley & Kent’s patio every morning. A very peaceful location tucked away from the hustle and bustle of Ganges, but still less than five minute trip into town. Both Kelley & Kent were very welcoming and accommodating to our early check in. Their air bnb had all the amenities you could need to make you feel right at home. Beds were super comfy! I would HIGHLY recommend booking this accommodation, you won’t be disappointed! :) Enjoy!

My stay at Krystal’s apartment in Vancouver was fantastic! The space was spotless, stylish, and incredibly comfortable. Exactly as shown in the photos, if not better. Krystal was a wonderful host: warm, welcoming, and always quick to respond to any questions. The apartment is in a great location, close to shops, restaurants, and public transit, which made exploring the city super easy. I would absolutely stay here again on my next trip to Vancouver. Thank you, Krystal, for a perfect stay!

THe apartment exceeded expectations. It was so spacious, sunny and with a great view of the water. The building was grand and very quiet. It was also near the town of Sidney and ferries going to multiple places. My mother and I both had a wonderful time staying here. Neighbors we met were friendly. It was lovely to sit on the balcony and watch the light change on the water and enjoy the lovely weather we had all week. We were only sorry to leave when it was time to go home!

We had such a nice stay at First Light. Home was very clean and so charming and the view is stunning. Our teens loved the hot tub and sauna. We loved looking for wildlife - lots of bald eagles. I loved being able to walk to downtown Tofino, would love to go back. Erika couldn’t have been nicer or more welcoming. We were really impressed with all the thoughtful details- there was fruit and chocolate for us as a welcome when we checked in. The home is vintage and I hope the 1970s original features will remain. The cedar walls and ceiling and vintage kitchen cabinets and light fixtures are amazing!

My husband and I had THE best time at Jason's place to celebrate my 50th birthday! Jason is quick to respond to any questions and is very friendly. The house is very clean and has everything you need. I had very restful sleeps as the beds are very comfortable. Nothing beats waking up to the sights and sounds of the ocean from your bedroom! We brought our e-bikes to explore the area and what a great idea it was. 2KM down the road from the house is stunning Storey's Beach. We hit low tide and could bike on the sand for the entire length of the beach! We even saw a gold eagle. Exploring Fort Rupert is easy to do on bikes as well. If you are looking for a quiet , peaceful place surrounded by gorgeous scenery and abundant wildlife, this is the place for you! At the house we saw eagles, lots of different birds, otters and a black bear family! It's perfectly located to explore the North Island and come "home" to relax on your own secluded beach. Stop scrolling, just book this place!

Absolutely stunning location - saw loads of wildlife from the terrace, and an amazing view over the water. Property was also very well supplied with a super modern kitchen and ample bed and bath space. Will be back!

We loved our stay here. The view from the full length windows and outdoor patio were breathtaking. We saw lots of wildlife: eagles, deer, seals, an otter and humpbacks. The kitchen was stocked and the bedding was very comfortable. It was beautifully decorated. We had fires on the beach each night while we enjoyed the peaceful surroundings. It’s a walkable distance to the Dolphin Resort restaurant where the food was excellent. We would rebook in a minute.

Mary Lou is an amazing host who has thought of every little detail and has a beautiful house that looks exactly like the pictures. I can thoroughly recommend Sooke and Mary Lou’s house.

Like a beach house in a movie. Truly beautiful. The spot is quiet and peaceful, nothing to distract from enjoying the ocean. The hosts were super friendly and very responsive to the few questions we had. 👍👍👍

Super relaxing place to stay. Very clean and stocked with top notch amenities.

Beautiful location and a wonderful stay if you’re looking for peace and quiet. Marlene did an excellent job providing information about the suite and making sure it was in perfect shape for our stay. Would also recommend to those interested in going on day trips as it’s right between Victoria and Nanaimo and only a 3-4 hour drive up to Tofino!

Lovely place to stay with an amazing view and everything one might need for an enjoyable stay. Full kitchen, well-stocked. Hot shower, comfortable bed. Great balcony. Walkable to everything Tofino has to offer. Celina was responsive and a pleasure deal with. We’d love to stay here again.

We had a wonderful stay in Gabriel’s condo. The location perfect for a visit to Ucluelet; close to local hikes, national parks and beaches. The condo has everything you need to feel right at home and is clean and secure. A bonus is its proximity to very good local eateries.

Stayed for a girls trip, location was perfect you are in the center of everything and are able to walk for food and shopping , every thing in the air bnb was very well laid out and instruction’s answer any questions you have about the place ! We loved it !

Kyle’s place was a great place to stay during our trip to Tofino. The patio views are first class and communication with the host was seamless. Would highly recommend for anyone to stay here, we will hopefully be back!

Thank you very much. The host was very responsive with the text messages and very helpful.

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

Jordy’s condo was amazing. We enjoyed watching the seals and seagulls from our room window, the kitchen had everything we needed for cooking, the jacuzzi tub and fire place added that little extra. We would definitely stay again as well as recommend this condo for anyone looking to stay!

Enjoyed the privacy of the unit and the beauty of Pacific Shores Resort. The kitchen was well equipped with lots of dishes and pots and pans. Heidi communicated well with good information.
