Cottage vacation rentals in Shirley

We have stayed at this place a few times now and always enjoy our visit. It’s perfect for a big group, has a well stocked kitchen, a cozy fireplace and a wonderful hot tub with views of the beautiful yard. Will be back next year!

The little cabin remains an absolute treasure. I first came here 17 years ago and it remains as wonderful as ever, impeccably cared for and very private. The view from the deck is breathtaking and the hammocks are a special treat!

We had a very peaceful and relaxing stay! The hot tub was lovely and the cute cozy cottage was close to botanical beach and other great places to explore!

Stunning air bnb in the most tranquil location, wow! Clean well decorated space, amazing hot tub with a gorgeous view. We loved our stay here so much!

What a wonderful place to relax and enjoy the quiet town and nature. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely return again.

We found this cute Airbnb just up the road from where our son was getting married. We couldn’t have asked for anything better. It was perfect.

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!!

Kathy’s cottage is located in a private and peaceful spot on the cove. It is our third visit! We enjoy cycling and walking on the Galloping Goose Trail and exploring the beaches along Route 14. The cottage is very clean and well appointed. Kathy is a gracious host responding promptly to our inquiries. We will be back.

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!

Richard and Rebecca's place was a peaceful oasis well off the main highway in Sooke. We loved seeing the chickens, deer and the cottontails. The place was impeccably clean and well designed.

Not only is this home luxurious and immaculate, it is a nourishing step back in time where everything is hand-made, lovingly curated, and generously shared. I can’t recommend this little cottage enough. And if you’re blessed enough to walk the gardens, well…delightful doesn’t even come close. I really recommend this stay for a family or anyone looking to slow down and savour a beautiful time.

We've stayed at Lynda's place a few times now, even trying another spot run by someone else in the same location, and end up coming back to Lynda's because it just can't compare! There is attention to detail, focus on making her place feel at home, and welcoming with the communication and local recommendations. Port Renfrew is such a beautiful place to visit, I highly recommend to anyone looking to stay for a beautiful and relaxing getaway.

Beautiful spot! Amazing view, amenities, and spacious. We loved our stay and would definitely recommend to others

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!

Mark and his property were both amazing. The cottage itself was nestled away but still close to everything you would need. Mark was responsive and easy to communicate with during the entire stay. Will most definitely be back!

Stayed for a week and it felt like home away from home. Had everything we needed. Located in a quiet location with lots of hiking nearby. The cottage is bright, clean, roomy, and perfect for a relaxing getaway. Our dog was particularly fond of the sun room where she could watch the deer on their morning visits. We hope to be back!

Always a great place to stay in the Shawnigan Lake area. Comfortable, convenient and super cute!

The cottage was absolutely perfect for our family weekend getaway! We had everything we needed and more. The location and view were amazing. Thank you!! We will be back!

We had a wonderful time at Al’s cottage. Arguably the cleanest accommodation we have ever stayed at and we are quite picky! The light breakfast was a nice surprise and very appreciated. This place is so tastefully renovated and decorated. We had the pleasure of having a good conversation with our hosts in the yard where they have a beautiful vegetable garden. We even had a chicken visitor (belonged to the Neigbors) that my 5 year old grew quite fond of and had daily visits with. All in all, wonderful place, fully and tastefully stocked. Amazing host!

We had a fantastic time cycling Mayne Island over two days, using the AirBnB as our base. It was in a great location for our purposes and was everything it is listed to be. I would use Dasha’s AirBnB again!

great spot comfy and in a beautiful location perfect for what we need very relaxing quiet neighborhood just what we needed after a long day of fishing

Cozy stay :) Jason gave us a heads up that the power in the town was out several hours before our arrival and provided us with updates every hour. He gave us the opportunity to change our plans if needed. We are happy we ended up deciding to still come because the power came back very shortly after arriving. The house heated back up quickly and we had a wonderful time going to some of the places Jason recommended.

We had a very peaceful and comfortable stay. We truly appreciated the opportunity for a late check-out, which made things much easier for us. Our son was participating in a regatta on Shawnigan Lake, so staying at Shery’s place was incredibly convenient.

The street was very quiet. I think there was only one or two other cabins that were being used that week, which means we had a very peaceful stay. We locked out it was also very sunny the entire week. The place was amazing with big windows, it was clean, bright and beautiful. Thank you very much Cheryl. We had a wonderful stay. Looking forward to booking with you again 🙂
