Vacation rentals with a kayak in Vancouver Island

If you’re visiting Bellingham or are looking for a relaxing getaway with family, this is the place. Very comfortable home with a beautiful view. Everything was clean and the beds were comfortable. It wasn’t far from good restaurants and activities. We liked the outdoor lights and fire pit. While we didn’t sit outside, it looked inviting. We’d stay there again!

We had a lovely 2 days at Kevin’s place relaxing. The apartment has everything you could need to self cater and within easy reach of Tofino. Views of the shore at ow tide are wonderful if you like raptor spotting and the hot tub was a definite hit. Kevin was very helpful with lots of clear instructions.

Fantastic stay and delivered the solitude in nature that I was looking for. It was a great way to experience the San Juans. The view was stunning, the access to the beach was stellar, and one of the best ways to spend a few days relaxing. The loaner vehicle was perfect to get us from dock to house. Reminder, for anyone looking to book this airBNB, please be mindful of what you pack and bring as there is no store to quickly run to if you forgot something. Also, you need to pack out your recyclables & non-compostables. Overall, would stay again and have already recommended it to others as an Eco-friendly vacation destination.

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.

Had a lovely stay! Chris was great about attending to questions/issues we had. It was so quiet and peaceful… beautiful view and very spacious (actually had 4 bedrooms/4 baths, but tofino only allows 6ppl max to stay in an airbnb. I’d say that’s good info to have if you’re two couples and two singles!) We walked to Chesterman beach several times. Quick drive (8mins) into tofino! The kitchen was missing some things for the price point (I’d say it needs a bit of an update). We were glad to have brought our own knives, placemats, wine glasses. Left some measuring cups! Haha Make sure to bring your own blue tooth speaker, and if you’re into streaming, bring your own Apple TV or Chrome cast as the TVs are old and only have Netflix/amazon prime (note: you cannot screen mirror/airplay from your phone/tablet). We enjoyed both fireplaces! Thanks for a relaxing and peaceful stay!

What an amazing home!! We loved the cottage decor with all the little nooks to hang out, books and games, telescope, cozy blankets. The views from the living room and patio were spectacular. We spent our mornings watching hundreds of herons fishing in the low tide! Walking down the beach to the southern point was so quiet and peaceful. Then ending our nights back out on the patio with a fire - such a relaxing time. Dawn’s home was also so great for our pup. He loved basking in the sun on the patio and exploring the water just steps away. Driving the short loop toward the ferry is well worth the amazing view of Mt Baker, and we enjoyed a little ferry trip to Lummi island, although the cottage is so comfortable and relaxing, we would have been happy not leaving at all during the day too!

Had a family vacation and we LOVED being here! Sarah warmly welcomed us and everything was better than expected! Highly recommend. We will be back before long!

A beautiful retreat that makes you feel like you’re in your own world. Enjoy breathtaking views of the lake right from the couch or deck. We had quiet morning out on the deck with ducks and bald eagles fishing right in front of us. Hard to beat this place.

Lovely stay! The house was right on the lake with beautiful, peaceful surroundings. Everything was just as described in the listing. We had a great time and would definitely stay again!

What a wonderful place! The space was spotless and well stocked with bed linens, towels, and cozy couch blankets as well as a well stocked kitchen. Beds and pillows were super comfortable which matters a lot to us. Even though Dawn sent us links to many activities nearby we chose to enjoy the beautiful, peaceful and serene surroundings right outside the door. The sunsets were gorgeous and as our visit was a week before the Summer Solstice they lingered until well after 10:00 PM. We were lucky to spot a "rainbow" (nacreous) cloud while we were there too! Well worth the 4 1/2 hour drive from our home in Vancouver, WA. We'll definitely be back!

Nice place to stay if you’re traveling through the area and enjoying the many activities in and around Sequim.

5 stars from me all around! It was an overall relaxing vacation for us. The view is the first thing noticeably unique about this airbnb. Absolutely breathtaking!!! Its even beautiful from inside the room. We enjoyed the massage chair, comfortable bed, tv, portable speaker, and the hot tub. I would recommend this airbnb and would love to visit again!

Had a wonderful stay, our pups had a great time, just walked across the street and we were on the beach. The road in front is a dead end with more people walking on it than cars! Wonderful view out the bank of windows - even saw a Black Bear early one morning walk down the driveway. Place was well stocked and exactly what a rustic cottage should be.

What an absolute treasure of a location! We had a glorious time & thoroughly enjoyed the beach access & the serenity of the property. We only wish we could have stayed longer!

Anne's place was like stepping in to an oasis. As soon as you drove in to the property, it felt like you were totally out of the city. The cottage was comfy and well decorated. She even had a couple Godiva chocolates on the table for check-in. She was always responsive and was flexible with our check-in times. I'd highly recommend this place to stay if you want to be close to the city but fully immersed in nature. Thanks for having us as guests, Anne!!

We had a great time in the cottage of James! It was easy to find following his directions. We were welcomed by a stunning sunset, the First of several. We used the kitchen only once as there‘s also a BBQ on the deck of the cottage and some restaurants in the area James recommended. There’s a canoe one can use, unfortunately it was so windy we couldn‘t try it. To be honest we have not seen wildlife like whales from the cottage as June seems to be too Early for that, but there are several wildlife tours in the area and we have seen some grizzlys and others during those. The Area is Full of history about the First Nations and James provides next to games, books and binoculars for entertainment also some information about the history of the closer towns. We loved our stay and can only recommend it!!!

Had a great time staying here for an Olympic Peninsula weekend. The proximity to Hurricane Ridge, Lake Crescent and Mt Storm King are unbeatable, but the real highlight were the amenities. the hottub, paddle boards, kayaks, and deck overlooking the lake were all spectacular. We had a question about where to park and Belle was helpful and responsive. Would definitely stay here again!

We had a great stay at Ashley’s place! The cabin has a beautiful view of the bay. The hot tub was so fun and the kitchen had everything we needed. The private dock is so peaceful and it was so fun using the paddle boards and kayaks to explore the bay. Ashley brought us fruits on one of the nights too which was very sweet. Will be back again!

My friend and I stayed here for a girls trip and it was perfect! The historic cabin is cozy, cute, and equipped with everything you need for a peaceful getaway. When we weren’t at the cabin relaxing we enjoyed being able to exploring downtown Port Townsend. Darrell and Carlene made us feel welcome and excited to share their beautiful cabin. I highly recommend staying here and plan to be back!

Beautiful location. Lee was flexible when we needed to check in later than planned. She gave us a helpful walk-through of where to find things to do on the property, such as the firepit, yard, hot tub, etc., and how to get to the beach. Very responsive and a comfortable place.

Absolutely blissful! From coffee on the deck, early morning mist hanging over the mountains and geese going about their business, to wine in the hot tub at dusk with the bats darting above our heads, we could not have asked for a better experience. Our kids loved the loft and every creature comfort was thought of and provided for. The location, mid-range to some of the most beautiful places Olympic has to offer was perfect for day trips and in retrospect, I wish we’d stayed here for our whole trip. I hope someday we have the chance to come back to this little bit of heaven. Thank you so much!

Our cabin stay was amazing! We loved waking up to beach sunrises and walking along the sand-all right outside our cabin! This home was extremely clean and was fully stocked for all of our needs. Also an amazing location if you are looking for an Olympic Nat. Park base! About 1 hour away from all of the amazing hikes and viewpoints. Harrison was kind and also left us fresh eggs from his chicken coop. Overall, our stay was amazing! Would love to come back again :).

We love this place!!! It’s so peaceful, homey, and comfortable. The scenery is some of the most beautiful I have ever seen.

Had an amazing time. The cabin and site were wonderful and very well equipped. Judy clearly cares deeply about the upkeep and quality of guests’ stay. Would recommend this to anyone. Thank you Judy!
