Vacation rentals with a kayak in Okanagan-Similkameen

We stayed here for our research group’s annual retreat and had a wonderful experience. The entire space was spotless and newly renovated, with modern finishes and thoughtful touches throughout. It was the perfect setting for both productive work sessions and team bonding. The kitchen deserves a special mention—it was extremely well stocked, not just with cookware and every appliance you can imagine, but also with all the basics we tend to forget to pack: spices, coffee, filters, paper towel, and more. It made meal prep easy and enjoyable for our group. Our host went out of her way to make sure we were comfortable, checking in to ensure everything was going smoothly and providing helpful recommendations. Check-in and check-out were completely straightforward, which helped everything run seamlessly. Overall, this was an ideal retreat space, and we would gladly return in the future. Highly recommended for any group looking for a clean, well-appointed, and welcoming place to gather.

We booked Darcy’s place in Oliver, BC for one of our travel nurses, and it was an excellent choice. The location is peaceful and just a short walk from a beautiful lake, offering a perfect spot to relax after long shifts. The home was well-equipped with great amenities and provided a very comfortable stay. Our nurse had nothing but positive feedback and felt well taken care of. Darcy was also a fantastic host—friendly, responsive, and very easy to coordinate with. We would happily book this property again for future assignments!

The house really is a home, lots of items available to use on the lake. Well stocked kitchen with spices, utensils, gadgets! Bright and airy, even better than the pictures. Some people commented on the road noise. There is some but not unbearable or spoiling our time. Don’t be put off as you will miss out. We will definitely book again if in the area.

Perfect place to stay while in Kelowna for a wedding. The outdoor space is absolutely amazing- we spent so much time outside while here and it feels so private and peaceful- you’re right on a beautiful creek and a short walk down the road to a beautiful beach as well. Raheil was extremely helpful and made sure we had everything we needed! Would definitely come back here!

Julie is an amazing host. We had an issue (totally out of her control) that she jumped on immediately and had it fixed within the hour. She was always available and provided helpful info and suggestions. The Bay Area is perfect for launching your SUP, kayak or canoe and heading off on an adventure. The bay is weedy so sadly not good for swimming but we were able to paddle out to the lake and jump off the boards. We felt right at home with our dog making a BFF with Julie’s and being able to lay on the dock at night and count stars made it the perfect time away from the city. I adore Julie and will be back to stay again soon. If you want to go somewhere with a host you can trust and is there to ensure you have a great experience, stay with Julie ❤️

We had an incredible stay at Robert and Janice’s beautiful home. The property is even more stunning in person — spacious, spotless, and full of thoughtful touches that made us feel right at home. The outdoor area was the highlight for us: the saltwater pool, the vineyard views, and the peaceful setting made it feel like a private retreat. Our dogs absolutely loved the large, open yard, and we really appreciated how pet-friendly the space was. Robert and Janice were such gracious and kind hosts — everything was well-prepared, from the stocked kitchen to the little extras you don’t always expect but really appreciate. This is truly one of the best Airbnbs we’ve stayed at, and we wouldn’t hesitate to return. Highly recommended!

Our stay was amazing. The place was clean, as described and a perfect fit for our family of four. The location can’t be beat. A block off the beach and strip of restaurants and ice cream, close to a playground and splash pad, and a short drive to the wineries of Naramata. Also the response from the owners to our questions was extremely fast. Loved our stay and we’ll be booking again in the future.

Kaia provided clear instructions to access the driveway and enter the house. The house was well equipped with towels and amenities, comfortable furniture and had a beautiful view of the lake.

Beautiful vacation home! Plan to revisit in the future!

Great location, right on the lake and next to Frind winery. Also, close to lots of other great wineries. Used the community pool and hot tub and were the only ones there. Had a wonderful time.

We just stayed and the Black Pearl and I highly recommended it! The suites are clean and updated, with a cozy eclectic feel. Annalise was an excellent host, always available to answer any questions. This hidden gem is right by the lake and all amenities! A short drive to wine country too. We will be back!

Great place that is super comfortable and clean. It is a great location and very kid friendly (even though we did not have kids with us). Angela was very nice and responsive. Everything was great, the kitchen was decently stocked. Would definitely stay again.

This is the second time our group of 8 have stayed here. Justin’s home is exactly as it looks in the photos. Warm, inviting and in a beautiful location. Communication is prompt. The guide book provided is informative and makes check in/out a breeze! Location is great for wineries, golfing, and outdoor activities. We had a great time!!

We were two young families that stayed here and the place was perfect for us. Well laid out, fantastic amenities and great location. We loved the beach & pool. It was so nice that Natalie left us her beach gear. Much appreciated

We had a great time with our family on this quiet and peaceful cabin on the lake.

Stayed here from Aug 17 to 25..the absolute best vacation we have ever had...the place is private...the host was great and Pete the manager at the property is awesome...would definitely be back and would definitely be telling people about it...perfect place to relax or especially if you have a boat. Boat launch and dock is on site..so awesome..

We really enjoyed our stay here and will definitely be back! The view was fantastic and the private beach, wildlife and access to paddleboard meant we hardly needed to go anywhere to keep our young son entertained. Thanks to the lovely stay!

Super amazing stay, amazing staff, only bad part was having to leave lol everything was 10/10 I would seriously highly recommend this for the family or for a nice relaxing couples getaway! Site management was amazing super happy overall with everything! Thanks again looking forward to next stay

Beautiful location, cutest cabin, very tidy and comfortable beds/pillows (which I am generally pretty picky about) waking up here felt like a dream! Only about an 8 min drive to gas station, grocery store, Starbucks etc.
