Holiday rentals with a fireplace in Gulf Islands

The location and outdoor surroundings are superb; so beautiful, private, and peaceful! The place is a little dated and could use some updates, but overall, this was a lovely stay for our group of 6. The hosts communicated very well; everything was clear and organized. Thank you!

Lovely house with amazing deck to relax and great views. Erik gave a passionate introduction at the check in that would make you want to stay for much longer. The perfect nature getaway!

Priceless views and amazing architecture are showpieces of this magnificent home that combines coziness, elegance, comfort and rustic charm. We’ve stayed at many airbnbs, but this one is a new favorite. It’s an ideal getaway for the whole family; plus it’s close to interesting hikes and restaurants. The kitchen is well stocked for eating at home. We didn’t enjoy the taste of the well water, but bought drinking water at Tru Value. Carley was very responsive and helpful throughout. We would love to come back in the summer.

Great place. Would be happy to go back.

Fantastic time here! Private getaway cabin with a unique outdoor sauna made this place extra special. Comfortable beds, and great space. We plan to come again :)

This is a true gem and an amazing space to stay in while visiting the West Coast and would stay here again over and over. The outdoor space was well designed for privacy and feels like you’re on your own in the great outdoors to enjoy a campfire and the beautiful outdoor tub was spectacular and such a treat. We loved all the extra amenities and the space was very well designed indoors and felt like home.

We had very restful sleeps as the home was in a quiet neighborhood with very comfy beds. We were able to enjoy sitting on the deck one afternoon listening to the birds and enjoying the view. The drive to Ganges for groceries and restaurants was only ten minutes drive. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare a meal including some vinegars, oils and seasoning. Our hosts were very friendly and keen to make sure we had everything we need.

We had a wonderful time and thoroughly enjoyed the view. Definitely appreciated Marie’s message before we arrived letting us know of the predicted high winds that might cause waves to splash and hit the house. It was super stormy and the waves certainly did! We loved the storm and staying cozy, warm, and dry inside while it happened. Thank you for a lovely night away!

Lydia's place was great for us! So clean, had everything we needed, perfect location. She's very easy to reach anytime and a lovely person. As noted by others there is construction nearby and ambulances bc of nearby hospital but it's only in the day and we got pretty used to it. It's one of the nicest places we've stayed so unless you need quiet all day and won't be going out I wouldn't hesitate to book this lovely place.

We had a wonderful stay at Jane’s ! The suite is close to the the Cowichan Valley Trail ( part of the Trans Canada Trail ) which we cycled for 2 days. Also close to town and restaurants and the famous totems of Duncan. Lots of lovely touches and a very comfortable bed . Would highly recommend Jane’s air bnb .

Harley’s place was pure magic. Perfectly situated and very well equipped, we felt right at home for our three-night stay in Port Renfrew. The views are even more breathtaking than the photos suggest, with tons of natural light spilling through the entire apartment. We were blown away by the wildlife sightings from the balcony and spent hours with the binoculars taking it all in. We would happily return to Harley’s property in the future.

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!

Beautiful little place, private & clean, beautiful garden as well. Inside is beautiful and modern small but private and peaceful. Christine is very helpful and check in was very easy. Definitely would come again.

This was the best Airbnb we have ever stayed at! Our flight was delayed and came in so late but Doris was so accommodating/understanding of this. We really appreciate the Airbnb being stocked with all the necessities and the bed was SO COMFY! We were able to see so much of Sequim and Mt. Olympic National Park within a reasonable distance from the Airbnb. Would recommend this to anyone looking to explore PNW :)

My stay at Cindy and Steve's apartment was nothing short of wonderful, and I truly couldn't have asked for a better experience! From the moment I arrived, it was clear that Cindy and Steve have thought of every single detail to make their guests feel comfortable and incredibly welcome. The amenities were outstanding, especially the top-notch coffee bar that fueled my mornings perfectly. The guest snacks were excellent and a delightful surprise. The apartment itself is charming, featuring a nice kitchen area that was a pleasure to use, and the bed was incredibly comfortable, ensuring restful nights. One of my favorite aspects was the lovely backyard area and porch, which provided the perfect spots to relax and unwind. Beyond the fantastic space, Steve was an incredibly helpful and genuinely nice person to talk to. Their warmth and hospitality truly set this stay apart. I greatly appreciate Cindy and Steve making this beautiful apartment available for me to enjoy. I'd love to return!

We didn’t want to leave! The place was exactly as described and the property was even more beautiful than we imagined. We enjoyed our stay here very much and would stay here again in the future.

Peaceful Lynn Valley retreat. Comfortable and private, fantastic location. Beautiful surroundings! 10 minute drive to Lonsdale or Mr Seymour. Great spot for adventurers or for a quiet getaway.

Great host great place

Super responsive, proactive and accommodating

Max really takes care of his place and it was even better then as shown on Airbnb. . Highly recommend booking this place.

A sharp modern glass tree house with a butterfly roof surrounded by trees - that makes for a comfortable stay & peaceful positive energy. We very much enjoyed the home and setting. Walls of glass floor to ceiling make it bright & a sense of light energy too. The landscaping is well done so that is nice on the eyes also. On our trip there happened to councide with very early morning & all day heavy machinery construction right next door, even on the Easter holiday. However that does not change my 5 star review. The place itself was excellent. The construction will be temporary + not always heavy machinery. And soon it will end. I just mention this so renters can get more certainty on what will be happening during the days they book. I highly recommend this rental it's a perfect place for 2 people and has a 2nd bed open to the main area that extra family could sleep in. We used that bed in the main room as a cozy place to read. Great master BR giant windows out to trees.

Alice’s house was beautiful inside! Very thoughtfully decorated, the tatami mats were really cool, and there was tons of space! Would definitely book again!

The place is amazing, and Billy was a great host. Every part of the property and accommodation is great. We especially enjoyed the private river access, sauna, and comfortable, well set up cabin. The space is also super flexible with lots to do, lots of places to hang out, and works for big groups. Finally, we loved how well prepared and clear things were in terms of pre-made fire places, instructions, etc. Great experience and hope to return for sure.

This is an absolutely stunning house with a gorgeous view and perfect location for visiting Salt Spring Island. We were 7 adults and 4 children, here for a weekend and it is well equipped for families. (High chair, cribs, etc.) We were able to walk into town from the house enjoying the Saturday market but the house location is private and pristine. There is a very cottage feeling to the place yet it is also large and elegant as well. A nice mix of experiences. The kitchen is well equipped with anything you could possibly want and the house in general is well supplied with books, games, and activities. It is large enough that you can wander off for some peaceful time on your own while at the same time, the living room and dining room could easily accommodate our numbers as well. We did find some of the furniture, while charming, a bit uncomfortable to sit in and the very firm mattress on the king bed was a bit too much for our aging backs, but that's a plus for some.
