Galiano's Captains Quarters 1894 Heritage LogHouse
A unique cabin on peaceful Galiano island. A short walk to a totally secluded beach, and just a 5 minute drive from an amazing coffee spot. The hot tub is ideal for star gazing after a day of hiking! Super large and comfy bed, too. Henny was very kind and helpful during our stay!

The Lodge: Private beach, kayaks, hot tub, bikes,
I was traveling with 3 kids (pre teen and teens). We all loved our stay! There was so much to do and absolutely everything we needed for anything we could think of doing. We enjoyed ping pong, biking, s’more’s, kayaking, games, cooking meals, watching wildlife (seals, a huge sea lion, weasel, bald eagles), and hanging out with a friendly black cat that visited. I cooked a couple meals and had everything I needed for cooking and storage. The view was amazing and north-facing which made me upset that I missed the strong auroras by 1 day :( I wish we could have stayed longer!

Pleasant Bay Lookout (epic sea view + hot tub)
Super unique property with gorgeous scenery. Hosts were extremely helpful and responsive, as well as friendly and welcoming. Enjoyed my stay and would recommend to anyone looking for a unique place to stay the night.

Om Sweet Om Guest House with a Hot Tub
We had a lovely last minute get away to Om Sweet Om. Really comfy bed with hotel style linens, fab hot tub and secluded space. Fan was really great addition as warm when we stayed. Sharon was welcoming over messages and lots of helpful tips for hikes and restaurants in the area!

Dinner Bay Private Cottage
The cabin has stunning views and makes you feel like you’re up in the tree canopy. There are hammocks for the deck (which my kids loved). There is a playground within a 5 minute walk, a horse shoes game, mini putting green, baseball court, and Japanese garden. This was a huge bonus for us.

River House on the Elwha River & the Olympic Park
Richard is a great guy, very helpful! The view from the great room is breathtaking! The view goes down a straight stretch of salmon river to wooded slopes in the distance going up to majestic snow-covered peaks. You can see it clearly through the glass windows in the great room, and from a very nice Well done patio. Love the place!

Oceanfront Black Otter Cove w/hot tub
Beautiful, well-equipped apartment with a wonderful view in a quiet and peaceful location.

Tranquil Spa Oasis - Steps from the Beach!
This was such a perfect place to stay, steps from the beach, it was so peaceful, clean and well stocked with everything you need. Tracey was so helpful, she even let us know the tide schedule! It was so handy having laundry and the beds were super comfy. Would definitely stay here again, thanks Tracey!

The Driftwood - Cozy Cabin with Beach Access
absolutely gorgeous cabin. amazing views and private access to the water was incredible. my girlfriend and I spent our 1 year anniversary here and it couldn't have been better.

Codfish Cottage Cabin on the Strait of Juan de Fuc
This was our home base for the HOH rainforest. The forest was about 2 hrs away. The place is gorgeous, we didn't want to leave. We could have stayed all week and found so many things to do locally. The windows were large and we were right on the ocean. The dishes were cute, there was a wine opener (which was key). It was quiet safe, the waves were so loud (very cool), our patio was cute. There was electricity! Just a few lights and outlets to still have a glamping feel without being on the screen all day. The bed and sheets were so comfortable. Some mistakes I made. 1. Get groceries in Sequim or Port Angeles. We stopped at a tiny market and were very limited then saw a whole store! 2. A lot of places weren't open after 8, so plan for dinner ahead. 3. We thought we had to get there because it would be so dark, but in the summer we should have not hurried, there was plenty of light even when the sun was gone.

Lake Front Cabin, Qualicum Beach
This is such a special place! The Cabin is an authentic, traditional family cabin, with plenty of supplies for a comfortable stay, but the location right on the lake is something else! We loved using the boats, spotting wildlife, playing on the beach. Such a memorable place to be with our family. We were also grateful for the prompt communication from Don. Thanks again

The Field House Farm Stay on Midnight's Farm
Faith and David were very hospitable hosts. Their farm is very pleasant and peaceful. The quiet of the surroundings, the diverse bird species and the fresh eggs and vegetables really made the stay very memorable. I enjoyed speaking with these wonderful hosts and I will be rebooking in the future!

Montague Lodge on Galiano
A great place to relax and rest. the view from the patio over the harbour is so peaceful. The inside space is large and airy. the kitchen is well equipped for cooking meals. we would come back again!

*The Micro Cabin in Roberts Creek*
We loved the cosy little cabin! It was perfect! Thank you for having some teabags in your kitchen too - I had the perfect cup of tea before bed and I was so grateful for that little extra!! Your cabin is a little gem. Thank you, Karen!

The Sea House
We had such a great stay at Niki and Neal's cottage. Everything was as described, if not better! We couldn't have been happier with the location and set-up in the cottage. We enjoyed friendly interactions with Niki and Neal + equally pets, appreciated some very tasty homemade treats and learned about the local swimming lake that was close by. I would have been very happy to stay in Fulford Harbor for much longer, soaking up the local flavor / nature / hiking / swimming that is all close enough to not even need a car (although we did have and use one).

Gabriola cottage with gorgeous garden near ocean
Kevan's home is thoughtfully decorated, cozy and comfortable. There is lots of seating, indoors and out making it a great place for our family to hang out together. The kitchen is fully equipped, and all appliances function well. The beds are comfortable and everyone slept well. The standout is the spectacular garden. A true oasis. We hope to have the opportunity to stay again. Lisa

The Wilder Woods Cottage
We had a wonderful stay. Billie was friendly and approachable, and so wonderful. We enjoy the clean and comfortable place, and swimming pool. The place was very close from the main shopping/restaurants area and it made our stay very enjoyable. Thank you for everything Billie!

Captain Berg's Getaway
Beautiful condo, full of amenities, comfy bed, gorgeous views. Perfect for longer stays. We were only there for a couple of nights, making it hard to justify all the air BnB fees, but not the hosts fault. Would certainly rent again when we have longer time to visit my grandsons.

Modern Downtown Park View Condo!
Cory is a wonderful host. His place and his hospitality were among the best we’ve encountered in Vancouver. Instructions were very clear for checkin making the experience easy. Cory was so generous with his space allowing us to feel very much at home. We’d love to return to stay at Cory’s listing in the future!

Waterfalls Hotel: Luxury Stay Near Empress
This is a great place to stay to be next to downtown Victoria. It’s as advertised in the listing’s description and photos. There’s plenty of room for a couple and everything is in good condition. Washroom facilities, washer/dryer units, and wifi all worked well. We did not use any of the cooking appliances. The location is walkable to plenty of restaurants/bars in the area. We were comfortable and felt safe walking around at night; we did not have any issues with noise. Agata is a great host! Her instructions made check-in and check-out super easy. She responded within minutes anytime I messaged her. Overall, I would highly recommend this place, especially for couples, if you want to be next to downtown Victoria.

Oceanside Cottage-3 bdrm with pool & hot tub
We had a great stay! Grandkids swam in the pool most every evening, and it was great to have the beach so close! Accommodations were very clean, comfortable beds, and the kitchen was well stocked with utensils needed for preparing meals and grilling. The grands loved discovering the box of toys too!

50ft. from the Ocean - Spectacular!
Place was gorgeous, Iris was a sweet and responsive host. We will be back again 100%

Burchill's B&B by the Sea
Sally and Dale have such a BEAUTIFUL property - it was the perfect location for a girls’ bachelorette weekend. They were also such kind and responsive hosts, quick to respond to anything we needed, we truly felt right at home.

Good Life (lower Suite) @ Shawnigan Beach Resort.
We loved staying at Deanna’s. The resort was excellent and the kids had a blast. Lots of games in the unit, kitchen was well equipped for 2 adults and 3 kids under 12. Beach was great and when it rained, the heated indoor pool and games room was amazing!
