Vacation rentals with beach access in Shawnigan Lake

Ryan’s place was great! Felt like staying in a tiny home. Everything was laid out nicely and was functional. He graciously offered us to hang out in the property and it was very beautiful. He was also responsive and very accommodating. Would recommend! However it would not be a good space to stay if you have mobility problems (accessing the loft area). For us it worked out great!

The photos of this place undersell how nice this guest suite is. Everything we could have wanted in an AirBnB was there. We loved eating breakfast in the garden and getting warmed near the cute little gas fireplace at night. Lots of restaurants within a few minutes’ drive. And our only regret re our hosts was that we’d have liked to see them more.

We absolutely loved this place! I booked it for the location directly on the bay as well as its proximity to the Northwesternmost point of the US where we were going. Everything was clean and neat. I will definitely be staying here again.

Wish we were staying longer! Great value compared to local area. Rebecca and her family were very welcoming and we couldn’t have wished for anymore. Stunning property, very spacious, perfect location. 5* would recommend to all. Thanks for a lovely stay. Daniel

Great location that was very peaceful that overlooked the bay. Rooms had comfortable beds that were well maintained. We will be back.

Liane's home is lovely. Clean and tidy with anything needed. Liane is friendly and understanding.

THe apartment exceeded expectations. It was so spacious, sunny and with a great view of the water. The building was grand and very quiet. It was also near the town of Sidney and ferries going to multiple places. My mother and I both had a wonderful time staying here. Neighbors we met were friendly. It was lovely to sit on the balcony and watch the light change on the water and enjoy the lovely weather we had all week. We were only sorry to leave when it was time to go home!

Cozy, peaceful place perfect for couples looking to explore victoria!

Was a great spot for a stay in Sooke!

Amazing place to stay overlooking Salish Sea. Spent hours looking for seals and whales in the sea. Inside is modern, clean and had everything we needed! Host was incredibly responsive and helped out with all our requests. Thanks Christine!

Josie was a fantastic host. Flexible, responsive, and helpful in providing local recommendations for an area we were new to. The house and property are beautiful, peaceful, and unique. Can't recommend highly enough!

We enjoyed a four night stay at Gabrielle’s house. It is a beautiful spacious house with beautiful views over the water. There is a big deck with plenty of seating including a dining set for those warm evenings. There is access to a private dock which is great for fishing. It is up water from the ferry terminal at Long Harbour so there was very little traffic on the water, ideal for fishing or just enjoying the peace and quiet. We even enjoyed a visit from a local deer, grazing quietly on the banking by the garage. The house is clean and has a very well equipped kitchen and ample seating. Bedrooms are roomy and comfortable. In the lounge there were books and guides plus a few games to suit all ages plus pbinoculars to study the wildlife. Food shops, restaurants and other facilities are a 10 minute drive into Ganges and there is a local market on Saturdays with a selection of artisan stalls. Gabrielle was a very responsive host, and easy check in/out Certainly recommend.

We loved the location, it was better than the description, the host gave us a detailed information of whatever we needed to know, I would definitely recommend this place. It is a piece of heaven. Two local pubs and cafes, what worked so good for us were the chargers for our electric cars. The view was extraordinary.

The Ravens nest is perfect. Clean, quiet, friendly hosts. We stayed a week and didn't want to leave. The space is well laid out with a small sitting room at the front with a view of the entrance to Active pass and Miners Bay. There are loads of extras like condiments in the fridge, coffee pods (2 per day) sugar, food wraps, etc. Tim and Patti were very friendly but never intrusive. Although the suite is on the bottom level we never really heard any sounds from them. I recommend 100 percent. Thank you Tim and Patti!

Jeanne's place is an ideal location for exploring Saltspring with a good proximity to Ganges. Stunning spot on the water with sunrises and sunsets. Quiet suite with enough basic needs for a longer stay. Darker window coverings would be ideal as the earlier sunrises hit. Some noise transfer with upstairs but hardly disruptive. Recommended.

Beautiful location and a wonderful stay if you’re looking for peace and quiet. Marlene did an excellent job providing information about the suite and making sure it was in perfect shape for our stay. Would also recommend to those interested in going on day trips as it’s right between Victoria and Nanaimo and only a 3-4 hour drive up to Tofino!

Port Renfrew is a great place to take the family. Halibut Hideaway was just as described, clean and well kept. All the amenities we needed were provided and in good shape. One rule about talking garbage to the dump wasn’t known prior to arriving and we found out the local dump where we were instructed to put the garbage was only open until 2pm the prior day. Either do all your cleaning really early or you’ll have to pack a bunch of smelly garbage into your car to comply like we did.

Was exactly as described. Great location close to ferry. Walkable to town. Great views from the back porch.

I was nervous traveling as a solo female but felt really safe. The place is cozy and I felt right at home. Helene provided a lot of thoughtful extras like fresh flowers from the yard, chocolates, fruit and cookies. I would not hesitate to book here again.

My girlfriend and I chose Denise’s condo for a girls weekend get away. The location is absolutely stunning and SO peaceful. The condo was well stocked, clean and the beds were very comfortable. Denise was friendly and quick to respond to any of our questions. Excellent value for a beautiful property. Thank you Denise, we will definitely be back!!

Kirstin was a great host. They had great communication, everything was clean and exactly as described. They even provided a high chair and pack and play which was extremely helpful when travelling a little one. The home was spacious and within walking distance to many great spots. It was the perfect place for my families weekend getaway to Ladysmith. We would recommend this place to anyone looking for a place to stay in the area. Thanks for a great stay!

We had an incredible stay at this stunning property perched on the ocean in Shirley, BC! The views of the Olympic Mountains from the premium hot tub were nothing short of breathtaking, especially when we spotted humpback whales at dusk on our first night—pure magic! The property itself at moments may feel more like a swanky international hotel with its backlit onyx kitchen and luxurious rain shower yet nestled in the rustic beauty of the coast. Our host, Robert, was incredibly kind and attentive, immediately offering his charging station for our car—a real relief. Highly recommend this place for an exceptional, premium coastal retreat close to Victoria!

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

Spent 3 nights here and would highly recommend it. Very comfortable, attention to detail. Everything that we needed was here. A fabulous condo in a beautiful location.
