Beachfront vacation rentals in Gillies Bay

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!

I stayed at Lauri's place for a week while working remotely, and it was exactly what I needed. The deck offers a great view - perfect for morning coffee or unwinding in the evening. The area is quiet and peaceful, I could really focus during the day and relax afterwards. Even though it wasn't a vacation, I left feeling recharged. The cabin, though small, was well-equipped and comfortable, and the natural beauty around made it a memorable experience.

We had a fabulous 3 days in June at Astrid's beachfront cottage. The views are really the only thing that matters! It was hard to tear ourselves away. The location is very quiet but very close to lots of things to do on Quadra Island. The cottage is very quaint and well stocked with everything one needs. The beds were comfortable and the water pressure and bathroom was great. Thank you!

Had a wonderful stay, our pups had a great time, just walked across the street and we were on the beach. The road in front is a dead end with more people walking on it than cars! Wonderful view out the bank of windows - even saw a Black Bear early one morning walk down the driveway. Place was well stocked and exactly what a rustic cottage should be.

An amazing weekend away in Gibsons! Our hosts Amanda and Dean are so lovely and we felt right at home. The view from the deck was spectacular, the suite well appointed and so cozy and comfortable. Loved the beach across the road, the peaceful quiet location and super easy access to the ferry. Highly recommend and already planning our next trip back!

This spot is so beautiful. It has everything. The view is amazing, there’s a work out room, kayaks, hot tub, trampoline. We hope to return !

Our stay at this Airbnb of Ronan and Alex was absolutely wonderful! The location was unbeatable – just a short walk to the beach, which made for some truly beautiful and relaxing moments. We couldn’t have asked for a better spot. The amenities were very good – everything we needed was provided, and the place was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. It really felt like a cozy and welcoming home base. The host was also great – communicative, helpful, and thoughtful throughout our stay. Also they went out of their way to help us and that speaks volumes of their commitment to help and make this feel like - HOME AWAY FROM HOME ! We had such a memorable experience and would highly recommend this Airbnb to anyone looking for a peaceful and enjoyable getaway. We’d definitely love to return in the future!

Gill and Sue are fantastic hosts, they are very friendly, responsive, helpful and proactive in their communication. Their cabin is just fantastic and located within a beautiful area, literallyon the beach front. "Sleeping under the stars" was a very apecial treat. When we can, we will definately be back. Thank you Gil and Sue!

Thank you for the great accommodations! Perfect place for a little family getaway!

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

What a beautiful location! From early sunrise quiet times with coffee to sunset dinners on the patio, everyone in our party thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Quiet, comfortable, thoughtfully- and well-appointed. I would, without hesitation, return for a future stay.

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

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.

We had a great time. The pool and hot tub were perfect, and the cabin is cute. The setting is amazing and Sally and Dale were very helpful and nice. This is the perfect little vacation for a family with young children - it felt like a tropical vacation when we were in the pool in May. Thank you!

Beautiful apartment with a really nice unobstructed sea view. Everything just like in the photos, clean and lots of natural light. I really enjoyed the beautiful bathroom…very nicely done. The bed is huge and very comfy as well. The view from the rooms and balconies is exceptional and really lovely. The whole property is really nice and well maintained. Especially enjoyed the bbq areas and fireplaces in the common areas. Communication was very good and check in instructions easy and clear. Overall we had a lovely stay and I would recommend to anyone looking to enjoy the sea and nature of Vancouver Island. You would definitely need a car there, as there is not so much to do in a walking distance. Closes town is approx. 5 - 10 min. Drive. Ferry in Nanaimo about 20-30 minutes. Very convenient!

Staying with Chelsea’s place was a pleasure. The location was perfect, the home was cozy and clean, and lots of activities to do. We are planning to go back next year. Highly recommended!

We had a magical stay at the Beach House. Being able to walk barefoot right onto the beach was so special to us. When it rained we were still able to open the panel of patio doors to maximize our time with the beautiful landscape. Just a stunning place to stay. The Host was very responsive and wonderful to work with. The space was immaculate, cozy and had everything we needed!

Cozy, peaceful, calm, nice big trees all around, can just lightly hear the ocean and wildlife from the home. The ocean beach is in view from the window and a short walk through grass away. Pretty much had the whole beach to ourselves during the weekdays. Town is a 15 minute drive. Host is friendly and quick to answer any questions.

Hello, My friend and I stayed there 2 days. The place is so peaceful and has everything you might need. They, hosts, were really friendly and helpful for us. Whenever we ask something, they respond really quickly. We didn’t face any issues either home or hosts. Also, we would love to stay there in summer again, i am sure the place will be more beautiful. I highly recommend this place to anyone who looking for accommodation in this area.

My friends and I had a truly wonderful stay at Claire’s charming place! The house was spotlessly clean, beautifully maintained, and felt like a true home away from home. The beds were incredibly comfortable, ensuring a restful sleep after time spent exploring the area. One of the standout features of this stay was the peaceful farm setting - waking up to the sounds of chickens and seeing the horse grazing nearby added such a special and serene touch. It is a perfect retreat if you are looking to relax and reconnect with nature. Claire and her mom were exceptional hosts - warm, welcoming, and always happy to help with anything we needed. Their hospitality made our experience even more memorable. The location is quiet and peaceful, yet still conveniently close to Powell River's attractions. Highly recommend staying at Claire’s place - it's a hidden gem in a beautiful part of British Columbia!

This place is a gem! We enjoyed our stay very much. This was the cleanest place we have ever stayed in. Thanks Martin and Janis! Would love to return one day!

Kim’s place on the beach was exactly what the doctor ordered, quiet, peaceful and private, well appointed with a pile of extras that were beyond expectations but deeply appreciated. Beds were comfy and the place was impeccably clean on arrival. The deck had an awesome view of the ocean and there was abundant wildlife present, we had an excellent stay, the only complaint was that we didn’t book for longer… will definitely book a stay again, feeling like this might be the new favorite spot….

Friendly and attentive hosts, freshly baked goods and breakfast provided which is a lovely touch. Thank you very much.

Spectacular ocean front cottage with beautiful deck overlooking ocean where we enjoyed sunrises, sunsets, a fullmoon, our meals, cocktails and afternoon siesta. An afternoon kayak provided clear viewing of amazing sea life and a brief siting of several orcas. We were very blessed to have found Myrtle Point Beach House aka Nana's Place, and hope to return again.
