Waterfront vacation rentals in Vancouver Island

Great view, great base camp for hiking and exploring. Would stay again!

We loved this place. The view of cowichan bay and the marina are spectacular and cowichan bay in itself may be the cutest place we’ve ever been. Lots of great restaurants nearby and great for just strolling around. Astrid made an earlier check in possible which was great and the apartment was very clean and nicely decorated. We felt right at home! Highly recommend

Beautiful property—neat little nook tucked into the hillside. We really enjoyed the gas firepit on the patio! Really lovely place for adults to stay, slightly challenging with an infant because washing bottles is hard in the sink and the shower head is quite high so no ideal way to bathe the baby. Would highly recommend for adults or families with older children though! Property was gorgeous and the space very comfortable and romantic feeling. Hosts were very accommodating and set up a pack and play for us and were responsive and helpful when needed. We saw so much wildlife on the property it was very peaceful. Thanks! Hope to return!

Perfect location in the heart of the city. Lots to see and do within walking distance. Great hosts - quick to respond, flexible check in and they gave us suggestions on things to see and do. The apartment was clean and had everything we needed. Would stay here again.

Betsy and Irv are wonderful, thoughtful hosts. Their cozy, ultra-secluded spot has terrific views - you could spend hours drinking it in and watching the wildlife - especially with Irv's home-made, artisanal bread!

Two words gorgeous views!!! Looked forward to having my cup of coffee on Kelley & Kent’s patio every morning. A very peaceful location tucked away from the hustle and bustle of Ganges, but still less than five minute trip into town. Both Kelley & Kent were very welcoming and accommodating to our early check in. Their air bnb had all the amenities you could need to make you feel right at home. Beds were super comfy! I would HIGHLY recommend booking this accommodation, you won’t be disappointed! :) Enjoy!

My stay at Krystal’s apartment in Vancouver was fantastic! The space was spotless, stylish, and incredibly comfortable. Exactly as shown in the photos, if not better. Krystal was a wonderful host: warm, welcoming, and always quick to respond to any questions. The apartment is in a great location, close to shops, restaurants, and public transit, which made exploring the city super easy. I would absolutely stay here again on my next trip to Vancouver. Thank you, Krystal, for a perfect stay!

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!

We had such a nice stay at First Light. Home was very clean and so charming and the view is stunning. Our teens loved the hot tub and sauna. We loved looking for wildlife - lots of bald eagles. I loved being able to walk to downtown Tofino, would love to go back. Erika couldn’t have been nicer or more welcoming. We were really impressed with all the thoughtful details- there was fruit and chocolate for us as a welcome when we checked in. The home is vintage and I hope the 1970s original features will remain. The cedar walls and ceiling and vintage kitchen cabinets and light fixtures are amazing!

Absolutely stunning location - saw loads of wildlife from the terrace, and an amazing view over the water. Property was also very well supplied with a super modern kitchen and ample bed and bath space. Will be back!

Jason is a friendly and approachable host. The property is comfortable, well equipped and easy to heat when necessary. The views are amazing and there is lots of local wildlife; we even saw humpbacks from the front room one evening! Location was good for Port Hardy and a lot of the North Island Trails. Worth every penny.

We loved our stay here. The view from the full length windows and outdoor patio were breathtaking. We saw lots of wildlife: eagles, deer, seals, an otter and humpbacks. The kitchen was stocked and the bedding was very comfortable. It was beautifully decorated. We had fires on the beach each night while we enjoyed the peaceful surroundings. It’s a walkable distance to the Dolphin Resort restaurant where the food was excellent. We would rebook in a minute.

We had such a wonderful stay here! The views were absolutely stunning from every window. The interior was sparkling clean and so thoughtfully designed. The location was perfect, just minutes from Birch Bay State Park for peaceful beach walks. We saw so many great blue herons and bald eagles! Marie was such kind host and always very responsive. Truly such a luxurious experience.

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!

Super relaxing place to stay. Very clean and stocked with top notch amenities.

One of the best, if not best accommodation we booked on Vancouver island. We felt so at home. It’s such a light, open house with great character and the views are spectacular! Jo and John were really friendly and helped us with any queries quickly. The house is very well equipped and we enjoyed the hammock upstairs a lot as well. Would highly recommend staying here.

This condo was one of the best decorated places I have been. the view is spectacular and is located on a very quiet road. The trade off for not being near restaurants and other shops is that seal bay, one of our favorite hiking spots is 3 min drive away. Having said that, it is a short drive to Comox to get everything else you need. The space is very efficient and the neighbours are nice. We hope to go back soon and thank Kaylee for being a great host.

Lovely place to stay with an amazing view and everything one might need for an enjoyable stay. Full kitchen, well-stocked. Hot shower, comfortable bed. Great balcony. Walkable to everything Tofino has to offer. Celina was responsive and a pleasure deal with. We’d love to stay here again.

We had a wonderful stay in Gabriel’s condo. The location perfect for a visit to Ucluelet; close to local hikes, national parks and beaches. The condo has everything you need to feel right at home and is clean and secure. A bonus is its proximity to very good local eateries.

Stayed for a girls trip, location was perfect you are in the center of everything and are able to walk for food and shopping , every thing in the air bnb was very well laid out and instruction’s answer any questions you have about the place ! We loved it !

We loved our stay here. The place was beautiful and was a fantastic location - close to the centre of Tofino but on the water with beautiful views! Kyle was super helpful and very responsive if we had any questions! Couldn’t recommend more!

Absolutely incredible host. Went above and beyond for us. Very responsive when needed and very accommodating. Such a beautiful stay. The place was gorgeous and truly a dream for my partner and I. We had the sweetest time. Was the perfect place to get away from it all. The stay was heaven and a dream all-in-one.

Thank you very much. The host was very responsive with the text messages and very helpful.

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