Cottage holiday rentals in Galiano Island

Josha and Sam's cabin was perfect. It was very private, despite their home being next door. It was very quiet and peaceful and very clean! I would definitely stay at this cabin again. Thank you Josha and Sam for your hospitality! Denise

This was one of the best Air BnB’s I have stayed at. The cottage itself was more beautiful than in the photos. It had one of the best stocked kitchens I have had in an air bnb. Becky was lovely and very helpful and easy to deal with. Would definitely recommend to anyone in the area and look forward to coming back myself.

Jacquie place was outstanding and matched the pictures and description. Her place was cozy and had all the items (kitchen ware, linens, etc.) that you would need to feel at home, as well as backups which is always nice. Her property was on many acres, with owls, ravens and her horses which made the experience even more memorable - the hot tub was also a wonderful way to start and end the days. She was an excellent communicator and it was a wonderful first time experience to Mayne Island.

We had a truly wonderful stay at the house! Everything was just perfect. The home is beautifully set up with so much thought and care - you can tell that every detail was considered to make guests feel comfortable and welcome. The kitchen was incredibly well-stocked with everything we could possibly need, which made cooking for our group so easy and enjoyable. There were plenty of bedrooms, and the layout worked perfectly for our group of 7 people - we all had enough space and felt right at home. The view and location are absolutely stunning. It’s a peaceful, scenic spot, yet close enough to everything we needed. The host was extremely kind and helpful, giving us all the information we needed and answering any questions quickly and kindly. We were so happy with our stay and will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a cozy, well-equipped, and beautiful home away from home!

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!!

Sally and Dale have such a BEAUTIFUL property - it was the perfect location for a girls’ bachelorette weekend. They were also such kind and responsive hosts, quick to respond to anything we needed, we truly felt right at home.

Adorable little cottage in a gorgeous spot on Lake Cowichan with plenty of watercrafts and games to keep you busy for days.. perfect little place for my husband and son and I to stay while enjoying the Lake Cowichan bluegrass festival. Highly recommend!

Such a beautiful place. It feels like a real home with many thoughtful touches. Bed is insanely comfortable. Deck is gorgeous. Highly highly recommend.

Had an amazing time. Didn’t want to leave and will definitely come back. Highly recommended!!

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.

Kevan's home is thoughtfully decorated, cozy and comfortable. There is lots of seating, indoors and out making it a great place for our family to hang out together. The kitchen is fully equipped, and all appliances function well. The beds are comfortable and everyone slept well. The standout is the spectacular garden. A true oasis. We hope to have the opportunity to stay again. Lisa

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.

We had an INCREDIBLE stay!!! 6 of us fit very comfortably in this place – the house is absolutely gorgeous with everything you could possibly need. Quick drive to town but quiet and gorgeous surroundings. Hosts were responsive and the utmost friendly – thanks for a wonderful stay!

My wife and I had a wonderful stay at Jennifer's quaint, characterful, cozy cottage. The location, property, and home were charming, with lovely, mature landscaping, fields of grass, water view framed by trees, and a private little beach. The antique furniture, lace curtains, and multiple vases of fresh-picked flowers and greenery all added romantic touches. The master bed was very comfortable and Jennifer kindly customized the bedding to accommodate our feather allergy. Although the property is a compound with other cottages, the setting was extremely private both indoors and out, on account of the large lot, separate access, and screening of mature trees. The wi-fi was weak, so perhaps not the ideal location for working, but perfect for a romantic getaway!

We had a wonderful 5-night stay at Poirier Cove. The location is magnificent, right on the seafront. We saw eagles, seals, lots of small birds - even a hummingbird. There are lots of lovely provincial parks nearby with great walks. We particularly enjoyed walking on the Galloping Goose trail to the Todd Creek trestle bridge. Corinne was very helpful and friendly. The cottage was comfortable with huge windows looking over the sea to snow-capped mountains in the USA.

Perfect couple's getaway spot on the Sunshine Coast! The cottage is beautiful - classic rustic design with all the modern amenities you would need. Steps away from the water on a smooth pebbled beach. We soaked up the peaceful sounds of nature and the sea from the porch every day. The property's landscaping is A+! We loved the gorgeous sunsets and dramatic tides (a novelty for Ontario folks!). If you want to feel connected to nature, while still being close enough to towns/Vancouver, this is the place to stay. We loved the easy access to magnificent mountainous hiking trails, and a boat tour out of Egmont (Princess Louisa Inlet is a must-see!). Every night wrapped with a sleep in verrry comfy bed, looking at the stars through the skylight. Stunning! Sue & Gil were fantastic hosts. Very responsive and helpful, and respectful of privacy on the property. We had such a wonderful stay in Halfmoon Bay! Can't wait to get back to this incredible region of BC.

This place was AMAAAAAAAAZING! Gorgeous, cute cottage. Beautiful.

This was one of my favourite airbnbs I’ve ever stayed! The photos do not do it justice. The cabin is beautiful and cozy. Our favourite part of this stay was the two border collies that followed us around we absolutely adored them. The skylight above the bed at night with the stars was unreal.

This place is really special and exactly as it looks in the photos (but better in person!) We enjoyed having breakfast on the terrace in the mornings, and listening to the local birds in the trees that surround the cabin. The view from the terrace is really magnificent!! We also indulged in the wood fired hot tub to make the most out of the beautiful forest surroundings. This stay was really one to remember, and I'm already dreaming about coming back another time. The roadside parking space had plenty of room for one car, two vehicles would be a tight squeeze.

Gorgeous views, incredibly responsive host, delicious coffee

Lovely stay at Maple Ridge Cottages, cute little cozy space to hangout by the lake. This would be the perfect place in the summer while you can jump into the lake and use the provided water equipment (canoe, paddle-boards) enjoyed the wood burning fireplace at night and cooked our own meals on the BBQ. Only a short driving distance to town.

We had a lovey stay. The Sweetwater distillery of theirs 200m away was an excellent experience as well. Rooms were just like the photo and clean. Great spot for a getaway. Not walking distance to Ganges or too much, but car or bike make it easily accessible. Very private, quiet and a great place to make your own for a while. Thank you Fiona.

This is a really lovely and cozy cabin right on the waterfront.

Staying at the Bungalow on the Bay was really a treat. It is truly waterfront, in that the deck is directly over the water. It was fun watching all the boats load and unload at the boat launch. Tons of wildlife including seals, herons, eagles, Canada geese, and ubiquitous sea gulls. Short easy walk to some really good restaurants and the bakery. Janice was extremely helpful from booking through checkout. Place was super clean and very well stocked. Highest recommendation.
