Cottage vacation rentals in Hornby Island

This has been our 5th or 6th trip here and it’s always perfect! Josha and Sam are so friendly and the space is completely private. It’s the perfect get away.

This place is really special and exactly as it looks in the photos (but better in person!) We enjoyed having breakfast on the terrace in the mornings, and listening to the local birds in the trees that surround the cabin. The view from the terrace is really magnificent!! We also indulged in the wood fired hot tub to make the most out of the beautiful forest surroundings. This stay was really one to remember, and I'm already dreaming about coming back another time. The roadside parking space had plenty of room for one car, two vehicles would be a tight squeeze.

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.

Carol’s place was AMAZING! The kitchen had everything needed to make meals for dining in, which we did a lot of because THAT VIEW!! We didn’t want to leave, just wanted to sit and watch for marine life. We saw seals, dolphins, eagles, and a family of 6 sea otters playing. When the evening started to cool we moved our binoculars to the hot tub to continue enjoying the views and serenity. My family agreed the beds were comfy and we all slept well. If you are looking for a go go go vacay Pender Island is not your place. If you want easy hikes in gorgeous surroundings, peace that reaches your very core, and super friendly people I definitely recommend Pender Island! The didc golf course has discs for public use and was really fun! Driftwood shopping center has all you will need. We recommend Sea Star Winery and a stop at Bee Wild distillery for tastings. We HIGHLY recommend Carol’s place!

Hugh and Deb's place worked out great for us. We were visiting family nearby. The place was spotless, extremely clean and tidy. The hot tub was a nice bonus that we enjoyed. They were responsive hosts to any questions.

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!

Judy's place was clean, tidy & well equipped. We had everything we needed with all of the comforts of home. the kids loved the amenities of rathrevor Beach & the pool being near by! thank you! we will definitely be back!!

This Kinsol cottage is well worth the price, and is entirely private, unlike most Airbnb rentals in Vancouver Island, which are suites in someone’s house. It was clean and well designed. As an avid Airbnb booker I really appreciated that Liz had all the condiments and spices you would need for a trip away from home. The backyard is peaceful and we had no neighbours while we were there. We enjoyed the hot tub and the sound of the birds, we even had an owl land in the yard. The bedroom loft has steep stairs, which is noted in Liz’s description, you should go down them sideways (we were fine, but probably not suitable for elderly). The bed was firm yet very comfortable and the reclining loveseat had us falling asleep every night. One hour to Victoria, one hour to Nanaimo, 1 3/4 hour to Port Renfrew (if you take the Pacific Marine route be prepared for a very very windy road). Kinsol trestle was a 10 minute walk away and an amazing hike. Would I recommend Liz’s cottage, absolutely!!

This might be the first time I give 5 stars for an airbnb and it is absolutely well deserved. Julie and Johns place was beautiful, clean, quiet, and peaceful. The privacy and natural setting was well worth the price. The hosts were very thoughtful and had the placed stocked with all that you would need for a comfortable stay. The tall trees, sounds of birds, and animal sightings (eagles and deer) made it hard to want to leave! We truly loved our stay!

This place had it all: beautiful scenery, great amenities, clear instructions, and a short drive to dozens of amazing locations in the area. It was the perfect and peaceful place to unwind after a busy week, and we’d love to come back again some day!

Was an amazing little oasis! Definitely can’t wait to come back! So well equipped with all the things you need and being pet friendly was so amazing! Thanks for an awesome little getaway!

Had an amazing time. Didn’t want to leave and will definitely come back. Highly recommended!!

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 cabin was a great place to get away for a little peace and quiet. Quadra island is a very beautiful place to visit. Jerry's place allowed us to really enjoy the island with a nice central place to bike around from. We will for sure look to stay here again in future visits.

Thank you so much for letting us stay in your cozy oceanfront paradise!!! We felt right at home and felt honoured to be able to spend time in what is obviously such a cherished family cabin. The location is absolutely incredible and we really appreciate how well stocked the whole cabin is with games, kitchen items, etc. We especially loved the sunroom and our kids loved cuddling up and reading books on the couch in there. Thank you again!!! We hope to come back!!

Gorgeous location, comfortable accommodation, welcoming host--Seal Beach cottage exceeded our expectations and we had a fabulous weekend. Thank you for the warm welcome, Lois!

This place was very quiet and peaceful. Off the beaten path just a bit, but close enough to all of the amenities. Jennifer was very helpful and responsive. I highly recommend a stay at this property.

Perfect place to stay on Bowen Island! Super clean, cosy and all the amenities you could need. Leslie was a great host, there to answer any questions and the fresh roasted coffee was delicious! Would definitely recommend!!

We had a wonderful stay! The place was incredibly relaxing, clean, and cozy—perfect for unwinding. Everything was thoughtfully set up and very comfortable. The outdoor toilet and shower were not only convenient but also surprisingly charming, adding to the unique experience. Our host was accommodating, friendly, and easy to reach whenever we had a question. We are already planning to come back.

We had a fantastic week's stay in Susanne's amazing cabin. The cabin is modern and well-appointed with everything you need for a relaxing getaway. The setting is idyllic, on a large treed property with incredible views. We enjoyed being able to walk many places including the great access to the beach. Susanne was extremely accommodating and helpful - we highly recommend her cabin for a quiet, comfortable stay on Pender Island.

This place is incredible, a real gem, the views are amazing. Hope to visit again. Thanks for everything.

We loved our stay at Tara's place! We spent Easter with our three teenaged kids and had the best time. The home is welcoming and cozy, the beds comfortable, all the towels and toiletries we needed. The master bedroom was more spacious than expected so we put a mattress on the floor for our 3rd kid. The kitchen had everything we needed and then some, including condiments and things for cooking proper meals. The house was so clean and spotless that I literally double-checked the listing to see if we were the first people ever to rent the place (nope). But what stole the show was the view - we couldn't believe our eyes when we woke up and stepped out onto the deck, and took in the peaceful bay with the mountains in the background. The private dock is icing on the cake, and we dropped our paddleboards in for a paddle around. The area is remote so bring your major groceries with you, but there's a wee store in town plus the backeddy pub (fish + chips!) and a food truck (ceviche!) nearby

Julie's place is spectacular. 7 of us came up for a bachelorette weekend and this place did not disappoint! It has everything we needed and more! the back deck was probably our favourite place, gorgeous view of the lake. We got to take advantage of the sleeping nook, and it rained the first night and the sound of the rain on the roof was amazing! I hope to be able to stay there again and discover even more things as we were just too busy to enjoy them all! ! I highly recommend for any occasion! I hope to be able to stay again soon! Thank you so much Julie! 😊

The cabin of your childhood dreams…sit back, relax, enjoy the lake and connect with family/friends. North Lake has fabulous swimming and almost no bugs. The cabin has a lovely view and lots of different areas to sleep. Lynne was a great host, very attentive and communicative. We had a lovely time, thanks Lynne.
