Family-friendly vacation rentals in Gibsons

Really enjoyed our stay, would happily stay again. Exactly the stay I was looking for, ocean front, could hear the waves, loved it. My son was so happy there was a hot tub! Comfortable beds and lots of space.

We had a lovely time. Doreen and Doug were extremely responsive and helpful even when the power unexpectedly went out during a storm. We would definitely come back the next time we are in Sechelt.

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 staying at Michelle’s place. It was very clean and relaxing and the place had all amenities as described. The hot tub was a special bonus after hiking and water sports. Michelle is very responsive and friendly. We would definitely book again!

The place was beautiful! Very spacious, we had lots of room for everyone. Having the beach so close was so amazing, my kids loved playing in the sand. The deck overlooking the property was breathtaking, especially with a morning coffee. Host had everything laid out nicely with lots of possible activities.

Katy and Dave were incredible hosts - they made sure the hot tub was warm for us each day and were responsive to whatever we needed. The place itself is GORGEOUS - we didn’t leave once and were entertained the entire time, even in the rain. It was the perfect spot for a girls weekend. I would absolutely stay here again and hope to be back at some point! Can’t recommend enough.

This was a magical experience. Hot tub by the water surrounded by gorgeous flowers. Cozy and rejuvenating!

Stephen and Ivan’s place was a peaceful and relaxing place to stay while just being a quick drive away from local restaurants and shops if you wanted to go out. The hot tub was a nice way to end our day after walking through smugglers cove. Would stay here again!

This was hands down the best Airbnb I’ve stayed in! The space was spotless, beautifully decorated, and full of thoughtful touches. The host was amazing—friendly, responsive, and made everything so easy. Great location, super comfy beds, and all the amenities you could want. I didn’t want to leave and can’t wait to come back!

Raquel’s cozy guest house made our two night stay a relaxing getaway. It’s a convenient location not far from the ferry and amenities in town but feels a world away from Vancouver, waking up to the sounds of the countryside. The house is well renovated with amazing light and everything you need in the kitchen. Raquel was a great host, making us feel very welcome, accommodating us and communicating extensively when we had some issues with ferry travel. Would highly recommend!

What an absolute gem of an airbnb. We had our privacy the entire stay. Cabin was spacious and was spotlessly clean upon arrival. Well stocked kitchen with a comfortable living space. The backyard was spacious enough for our big dog and there are many trails close by. The fire pit with the lawn chairs allowed us to sit back and relax with a nice fire. This was a great getaway. I highly recommend Keitha’s Airbnb!

We had an amazing 4-day stay at Reg’s cabin! It was the perfect cozy escape. The cabin was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. We loved how quiet and peaceful the surroundings were—an ideal place to unplug from the city. The sauna was a fantastic bonus and added to the relaxing experience. We also made great use of the BBQ—it worked very well and was perfect for outdoor meals. Reg was an excellent host and quick to respond to any questions.

What a great space! Joanne’s place is very large, with ample room for five or six adults. The kitchen was awesome, complete with an air fryer and instant pot plus many other things you don’t typically find in an Airbnb kitchen! The furniture is also very comfortable, especially the couches. It felt like we walked into our own house, except it’s in the woods by the Parksville resorts and a five minute walk from a sandy beach! What a steal! We can’t wait to be back.

My partner and I stayed here with our dog and two friends and it was a perfect space for us all. The house is eclectic (which we liked) and we really appreciated the peaceful garden with all of its birds! Would definitely visit again for a beautiful, calming island stay.

We absolutely loved our stay! The place was beautiful, spotless, and even better than we expected. The outdoor space was just as amazing as the interior, perfect for relaxing and enjoying the surroundings. Everything was thoughtfully prepared, and it truly felt like a home away from home. Highly recommend!

We would highly recommend Eva’s place for a stay in Nanaimo North. Everything was exactly as the photo’s showed. The suite is beautifully decorated and tastefully furnished. The beds are extremely comfortable! Eva was responsive to our needs, with recommendations for places to see & to eat. Every query was answered quickly. She is basically an encyclopedia of knowledge on the area! We would definitely book with her again should we be back in the area. Don’t hesitate…..just book!

Our party included 4 adults and two children. We stayed in the house for four nights. This is something which we do every summer, staying in different houses near Rathtrevor Provincial Park. We were happy with our rental this year (2024). We liked the fact that this complex includes a swimming pool. We also spent a lot of time at the beach. (We used the beach folding chairs which are available in the unit.) We also walked in the adjacent Rathtrevor Provincial Park. We also drove to some stores in town. The kitchen is well equipped. We used the BBQ for three of the dinners. It was useful that one of the bedrooms includes a desk. Sandy communicated with us (via the AirBnB app) several times. We had a great vacation. I should also mention that after we checked out we discovered that my granddaughter left a certain item behind. Sandy assured me that it will be mailed to us. Thank you!

Very great place to stay for vacation. A LOT of attractions around Parksville. The host is very responsive and friendly and gave lots of suggestions. Great place!

An awesome cottage with everything you need , great area, clean well equipped. We loved it!

This was a fabulous rental, it was perfect in every way. Every step of this booking was just a great experience, the host was so friendly and fun to chat with and thought of everything a traveller might need. All of the instructions were clear and well thought out, everything was as expected if not better, the place was spotlessly clean and everything was provided for. Couldn’t recommend this place enough, I hope we will get a chance to enjoy your hospitality again, it made for such an enjoyable trip! Thank you so much!

Donald was a very good host to work with. We were happy with the condo, it was spacious and had what we needed to enjoy a great time. So nice to have the pack and play for our baby. The upper and lower floors were so nice to give privacy when traveling with multi family. The grounds were beautiful and the heated pool and hot tub were really nice. A short walk to access Rathtrevor Beach, which is awesome We would book again next time we come!

We had a wonderful stay at David’s place. It was the perfect spot and exactly like the photos we will definitely stay again. Only issue we didn’t stay long enough😉 it was the perfect getaway!!!

The perfect place to stay for our visit to Parksville. Our host was super communicative and helpful. Highly recommend!

The cottage was great for our family of 5! Equipped with beach towels, toys, and even a mini cooler - this makes beach going easy. Everyone enjoyed the pool and the beds and sofa beds were all comfy! Thanks so much for a great stay!
