House vacation rentals in Cowichan Bay

We loved staying at such a beautiful peaceful house, gorgeous ocean views! The master bedroom was spacious and had a very comfortable bed. The house had plenty of room for our family group consisting of my husband and I with our two young kids, two grandparents and my brother in law and his wife and two kids.

Matt and Lina’s place was truly an oasis. The seven of us were so comfortable and enjoyed the pool/ hot tub and sauna time. Matt and Lina were fantastic to communicate with. We would highly recommend staying here if you love the peacefulness and privacy of the forest with ALL the amenities.

Peaceful and lovely house, the views from the balcony were beautiful. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Nanaimo.

We were 2 couples visiting the province for a family gathering. This place was absolutely perfect for us! Spacious, clean and beautifully decorated homes. The gardens are gorgeous and we grew attached to all the lovely animals outside the front door! The rural setting was close to all the urban places we visited....and we enjoyed getting to know the surrounding area. Krista was responsive and helpful....and gave us lots of great tips! This is the best airbnb experience we have ever had!

Our family of 5 plus our dog enjoyed our stay at Oceanside Escapes. Johanna and Julie were readily available to answer any questions that we had before and during our stay. The cabin was well-supplied and had a binder listing many local recommendations. It was a short walk to Rathtrevor Beach which we all enjoyed, particularly our dog. All essential amenities and many attractions were nearby. The central air conditioner was especially helpful in keeping the whole cabin cool during the hotter days. We will be back.

As our first Airbnb experience, it set the bar for future experiences. It was exactly what it was described as in the listing. It was immaculately clean. Our group of 4 were very satisfied. And we would highly recommend this property to anyone looking to stay in Parksville.

Bowen's place was very beautiful, though slightly dated. We highly enjoyed the pool and hot tub. The kitchen had basic amenities including coffee, coffee supplies, wine glasses, etc, so we were happy. Bowen was very responsive when we needed anything, and we appreciated his quick communication. There's a shopping center within walking distance, and lots of beautiful trails near the house that were fun to explore. The bedrooms were a bit bright for our liking, and the mattresses a tad hard for our stiff backs but overall it was wonderful and we would stay there again.

Great little get away. Pool was awesome, hot tub was great. Great fenced front yard for the dogs. Back yard was quite big to be able to play with the kids. Very clean and tones of room. Ryan was great to deal with. Will definitely rent again on our next trip down. Thank you

We had a wonderful stay here and would absolutely recommend and stay again. The hosts made us feel right at home. It was clean, beautiful, comfortable and right at the beach. Thank you!

Beautiful views. Peaceful neighborhood. Lots of comfortable spaces to sit in. Beds were very comfy.

We loved our stay at Dan Sam’s place. It’s a good combination of comfort, coziness and gorgeous view. Just the view itself worth the price!

The home was beautiful and very comfortable, we were able to unwind and relax, the ocean was beautiful.

Everything exceeded our expectations, and we would not hesitate to recommend this accommodation to anyone. The suite is well laid out, nicely decorated, and very well equipped. The bed is comfortable and there is a huge bathroom with no shortage of hot water for showers. We also appreciated the little extras, such as the coffee pods and milk that were waiting for us. Also, as many others have written, the area is lovely and perfect for anyone who appreciates being close to nature and enjoys a serene environment, complete with resident wildlife. Suzanne is also a friendly and accommodating host. All in all, a lovely place to stay!

Truly one of the best Airbnbs we've stay in. The house is better than we could have imagined and lake is even closer than what it looks like in the pictures. My five year old son says his favorite thing(s) about the house is: jumping into the lake, the hot tub, the water play, jumping in the lake, the big couch, the showers, and jumping into the lake... Hoping to come back again!

Breathe taking views and a beautiful spot, if I ever go to this island again I will be requesting to stay here. Thank you Camila.

Julie is a wonderful host! The place is beautiful and exactly as pictured/described. Clean, free of clutter but still with enough furniture to be comfortable. I stayed for an extended period of a month and I enjoyed it thoroughly. Julie was accommodating and an excellent communicator. Very quick responses, and provided us with anything we needed during our stay. Cowichan Bay is a beautiful area and the house is tucked away on a quiet dead end street but still only a short walk to the beach which my children loved. The house was well equipped with everything we needed for an extended stay & was very reasonably priced. The pull down couch was very comfortable as was the bed in the bedroom. Having in suite laundry was also very convenient. Overall would highly recommend! You won't regret your stay in the beautiful Cowichan Valley at Julies oasis!

Our family of four had a wonderful time staying at Jessica’s place for the week. It was an excellent location, within a 5 minute walk to local restaurants including the Saturday market in Ganges and central to many hiking trails and attractions on the island. The place was well appointed with all the kitchen tools you need to cook a few meals and was also spacious. We would’ve happily return on a future visit to the island.

The location was perfect for our needs and the place was spotless throughout our stay. Everything was exactly as described and check-in was smooth. Would definitely recommend to other travelers looking for a clean, well-located place to stay.

Host was very responsive when attention was needed for our stay and was very quick to respond to our messages. Totally recommend a stay here

We were really happy with David’s guest suite. It was exactly as shown in the pictures, and check in/check out were very easy. There wasn’t a microwave, but the stove/oven makes up for it. We appreciated how compact and tidy everything was, and I found the bed very comfortable. We were happy with our 12 day stay here, and would gladly stay here again when we come back to the area.

Absolutely unique property the view of the Pacific was amazing. It is situated right at the end of the road so no passing traffic or people - very peaceful Very well equipped and comfortable Rob was very responsive especially when I couldn’t work out how to lock the door when we went out (you just press the unlock button). It’s amazing

This property was stunning, with panoramic views of the water, surrounding gulf islands, and sunsets. It was charming, cozy, and picturesque. Everything we were looking for!

Seascape is Awesome! The accommodations were clean and spacious with comfortable beds and living areas. The views were amazing and the outdoor areas packed with things to do and see. The hosts responded quickly and was very friendly and helpful. We absolutely enjoyed our stay and highly recommend this excellent space.

We would highly recommend Meaghan’s apartment. It was spacious, spotlessly clean and very comfortable. Meaghan has included lots of thoughtful extras and the decor and furnishings are lovely. Chemainus is a cute town with lots to do and a friendly vibe. Meaghan’s recommendations for restaurants, cafes etc were spot on. We had a delightful stay and hope to be able to return in the future.
