Waterfront holiday rentals in Cowichan Lake

What a special space! From the moment we walked in we felt right at home and could not believe how beautiful the views were! We loved sitting on the patio to start and end our days admiring the peaceful harbour. The town also had a few nice restaurant options, a delicious bakery, and cute shops to enjoy as well! We were even lucky enough to briefly meet Astrid and Stephen who were both such gems, their love of the harbour and their home is very evident! I feel lucky we were able to stay at their space during our trip to Vancouver island and wound highly recommend this home!

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.

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!

Enjoyable stay at Krystal’s! Beautiful, modern space with everything you need and more. We arrived in the early morning hours and really appreciated the basket of snacks left on the counter for us. Quiet, had a good sleep. Comfortable beds. Walkable location to the seawall, shops, etc. Thank you Krystal & Neme

Had family come from Calgary, we stayed together. We all loved the place, beautiful suite, clean, quiet and lots of room for us. Beautiful surroundings and great staff 😊 Thank you for a great stay!!!!

Beautiful condo in a perfect location for our trip. Easy to navigate area, grocery and other necessities nearby. Absolutely peaceful environment and always felt very safe. Well stocked kitchen with everything we needed. Highly recommend.

Tracy and John are fantastic hosts. They have everything you can think of and more within the unit. There were also some other little perks but don't want to ruin the surprise should you choose to stay here which you should. The view / location can't be beat. The lake is a few mins walk away; super clean (rocky so you may want water shoes) and there is a dock to jump off of. Separately, my luggage arrived late and they provided me with extra toiletries which was so thoughtful. They also regularly checked in on the situation which I really appreciated. I hope to be back!

Excellent location, right near the heart of Gastown and a short walk, Metro or cab ride to almost all the city's attractions. Of course that puts you close to all of downtown life, including the city's well known social problems, but that didn't detract from a lovely stay, it's all part of the Vancouver experience. Apartment was beautifully presented, well equipped and the fact that tea, coffee, sugar, herbs and spices were there to use was a nice touch. The block had a lovely pool, jacuzzi and gym too. I could not fault Ana for communication or ease of access. All in all a great stay and recommended.

We loved our stay at Dan Sam’s place. It’s a good combination of comfort, coziness and gorgeous view. Just the view itself worth the price!

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!

Awesome place! The house was very well appointed. Host always responded to our messages. Walkable to all stores and food options. Would definitely recommend this place if staying in and around lake Cowichan.

We had a lovely stay at this 1940s cottage. It is located in an area that provides a lot of privacy. The views from the house and outdoor patio were stunning! We enjoy walking to the little beach and spending alone time there looking for various sea critters. We saw seals swimming in the water from the house. The house is wonderfully decorated and the bed was very comfortable. Our messages to Caitlin and Susan were returned quickly and always contained helpful information. We highly recommend this lovely stay on Orca island! Thank you for the unforgettable memories!

Truly one of the best Airbnbs we've stay in. The house is better than we could have imagined and lake is even closer than what it looks like in the pictures. My five year old son says his favorite thing(s) about the house is: jumping into the lake, the hot tub, the water play, jumping in the lake, the big couch, the showers, and jumping into the lake... Hoping to come back again!

This the the best property we have ever stayed at and we have been at some wonderful properties. Right on Nanaimo bay. Views were stupendous. Easy stairs down to the shore. Brian responded to inquiries almost as quickly as Radar O’Reilly on MASH. The home has all the little touches that testifies that wis wife is involved in the upkeep. Would recommend highly. Would stay there again. Didn’t want to leave.

Wow, what an incredible property!! We had a wonderful stay and very much enjoyed the well-stocked kitchen, expansive deck, beautiful grounds, and private beach. It was such a peaceful place to spend a few days, and we hope to return. We were three families with three small children, and it was a perfect place for them to run around. Thank you Don and Kathy for opening your home up to us.

Hosts super responsive on our last minute booking. Place was beautiful and quiet with a lovely view of the water. Kitchen was wonderfully set up with dishes, cutlery, appliances etc. Would recommend to friends.

Our family had a wonderful stay at Adam & Hana's place! They are indeed very friendly and helpful. A walker and cyclist's paradise, the location is so central to everything yet peaceful and quiet like in a park. Don't hesitate to book it if it's available. High recommend!

Had a fantastic stay at Barry’s. Will return for sure

Fantastic place in a great location

This is our second time staying at this airbnb and we love it so much! The hosts are amazing, really understanding and super responsive. The place is super clean and well thought out. The perfect place to bring young kids with lots of supplies already there (highchair/pack and play/kitchenware/toys). The location is also amazing so close to the beach and the resort has lots of fun kid friendly amenities. We are definitely making this spot an annual trip! Thank you Nikki & Jenn!!

Beautiful place right on the ocean. It was great having the heated pool, hot tub and kids play area. A short drive to great cafes and bakeries.

The apartment is spot on, walking distance of downtown Vancouver and many good restaurants. Very chic and clean. Kwan was always a text away to help with anything. 100% would recommend to stay here!

Staying with Chelsea’s place was a pleasure. The location was perfect, the home was cozy and clean, and lots of activities to do. We are planning to go back next year. Highly recommended!

Great space for a small family. Beautiful views of the ocean and mountains from the deck. Playground and pool close by for the kids. We really enjoyed our stay!
