Vacation rentals with lake access in Gulf Islands

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!

We loved this amazing view home in Nanaimo. It is comfortable and extremely clean. Brian is a wonderful host, very welcoming and helpful. He has gone the extra mile to make your stay memorable by having so many extras available for your enjoyment like kayaks, crab traps and even extra shoes! The home has an incredible view and water access that offers a beautiful place to relax each day. We saw orcas, humpbacks, and otters from the deck! My 4 yr old grandson loved watching the ferries and float planes. Nanaimo was so fun. We are planning on coming back and definitely want to stay at this home again.

Absolutely fantastic stay! Gerry was super helpful and incredibly responsive throughout our visit. The place was spotless and exactly as described. He even went above and beyond to help us with our bikes before our race, which made a huge difference. Wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again — highly recommend!

Highly recommend. Love the decorating. Well stocked kitchen. Super comfy bed. Open concept. Lovely view. Great hot tub. We also really appreciated an early check in. Thank you Josh and Heather.

Great place to be near Mt. Baker and Bellingham. We had a cozy time enjoying the hot tub and the comfy living room. Great kitchen with above average cooking utensils for an airbnb.

We’ve stayed at Sunny’s house twice and both times have been great! Beautiful views, and great neighborhood. Always very clean and comfortable.

Amazing place! Location was great and it has an exceptional ocean view. Super clean and the hosts are very nice and accommodating. We will definitely stay here again

Great stop along our path around the Olympic Peninsula! Water is right there with beautiful view-definitely feels like going back in time to stay the weekend with my granny even down to the Disney videos! It was a great visit!

I had a wonderful stay here. Ginny and Gary were so warm and welcoming, they checked in to see if I needed anything and made sure I felt completely at home. After long days of climbing, it was the perfect place to come back to just as described, if not even better! The surroundings are stunning, and the place has absolutely everything you could want. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a cozy, comfortable, and well-equipped home base. I will definitely be back!

A great place to stay. Perfect accommodations for our needs and close walking distance to everything. Very clean and a stunning view. Jessica was quick to answer any questions we had. We would love to stay here again next time we are in the area.

Deanna is a great host very accommodating and responsive. This is our second time staying at her place. Location is perfect to watch our son racing who was participating in Shawnigan regatta. Looking forward to stay here again next year!

Great place to stay, beautiful location, perfect for walking your fur baby, safe neighbour hood, relaxing balcony with a great view, simply wonderful experience!

Lovely weekend away, the place had everything we needed. The outdoor spaces are great, the private dock and fire pit were perfect. Would stay here again!

Tracy and John are fantastic hosts. They have everything you can think of and more within the unit. There were also some other little perks but don't want to ruin the surprise should you choose to stay here which you should. The view / location can't be beat. The lake is a few mins walk away; super clean (rocky so you may want water shoes) and there is a dock to jump off of. Separately, my luggage arrived late and they provided me with extra toiletries which was so thoughtful. They also regularly checked in on the situation which I really appreciated. I hope to be back!

We immediately fell in love with Tao’s place when we set foot into the room. It was pristine clean and aesthetically pleasing. The place has all the amenities we need and cozy. I like it that there are supermarkets around the vicinity ie T&T supermarket, Nesters. Near the harbour. Near a pharmacy. Really good value for the location. Totally recommended. Just be on the lookout for a few homeless folks.

it's a lovely stay. very spacious the bed is very large. lots of pots and pans to cook from, a grill. a pool for the summer and hot tub when your there in the winter time still but want to enjoy the water. the club house is also very close to room. Great stay. would recommend :)

Absolutely beautiful location and very close to Olympic National Park hiking, lakes, and amenities. It was so nice to come back after a long day of hiking to then dip into the lake and paddle board to relax. The cabin in small, as listed, but functional for a couple. All meals were cooked in the kitchen or on the gas grill outside. We had a small issue the first evening but Bonnie was super responsive. I would return to this cabin on my next trip to the park.

Beautiful, cozy, and peaceful cabin. We loved our stay and hope to be back!

Carlene’s cottage by the sea was so cute and welcoming. It was the perfect place to relax and spend time with my little family. Carlene was very responsive and nice.

Lovely stay at Maple Ridge Cottages, cute little cozy space to hangout by the lake. This would be the perfect place in the summer while you can jump into the lake and use the provided water equipment (canoe, paddle-boards) enjoyed the wood burning fireplace at night and cooked our own meals on the BBQ. Only a short driving distance to town.

We had an incredible stay at this beautiful lake-side cottage. The place is right on the lake with amazing views. The interior is super cozy, with comfy couches and beds. It's one of those places where you immediately feel at home. Our hosts were incredibly responsive, kind, and helpful. We would love to come again!

Amazing place, already planning our trip back! Comfy and cozy. We celebrated our daughter’s 3rd birthday there. Beautiful sunny dock and a perfect shady deck outside the house. 🏡 thanks for having us!! ✨🩷

Wonderful Airbnb, can highly recommend it!

What a gem of a place. We were so excited to stay here. The accommodation is clean, well equipped and comfortable. The surroundings are stunning. We were so lucky with the weather which was perfect for spending time on and around the lake. Martin was the perfect host. Thank you very much - we can't wait to find an excuse to visit again for much longer!
