Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Gulf Islands

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!

We had a wonderful stay! We loved that there are trails accessible by foot from the cabin. (Just walk up the gravel road about 3 minutes.) We discovered that a great morning routine for us was to have coffee, walk through the forest, enjoy the morning light on the ocean, and head back to the cabin for breakfast. Peaceful and relaxing :) Henny is a great host. She shared a ton of wonderful information about places to go and yummy restaurants on the island. The cabin itself is cozy, charming, and quiet. The bed is comfortable, a high priority for me! We also appreciated that we could bring our dog and that she could be off-leash in the grassy area around the cabin.

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.

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.

We loved our stay here! It is our new favorite Airbnb and we’ve stayed in many. Honestly we wished we had longer to enjoy it. The setting is stunning and the apartment is beautiful with everything you could need. My husband and I went on some beautiful hikes that were not far from the house. I also have really bad environmental allergies and had no issues at all! It was clean and I also appreciated that even the laundry detergent was allergy-friendly with no strong smells (and also so nice that there was detergent to use). Lisa thought of everything and we plan to return!

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 :)

The Piper's Nest was perfect. Clean and well maintained and welcoming. The hosts were responsive and polite, and even though they live on the same property, it truly felt like the Nest was out own, tucked away in a private corner of the forest. Very well designed for relaxation and comfort. Thanks!

Jeanne's place is an ideal location for exploring Saltspring with a good proximity to Ganges. Stunning spot on the water with sunrises and sunsets. Quiet suite with enough basic needs for a longer stay. Darker window coverings would be ideal as the earlier sunrises hit. Some noise transfer with upstairs but hardly disruptive. Recommended.

The Valley View Suite could have been called “A little bit of paradise” with wonderful views, a clean spacious suite and an obliging hostess. We had a wonderful stay and would return again.

Amazing cute suite! the place was curated with such thought and detail. Good linens and amazing large shower. Very relaxing stay.

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!

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!

Our stay was amazing! This place is a gem! We loved the place from moment we arrived. Communication is awesome and from the moment we arrived we felt welcome and at home. The homemade bread was a treat! This place is peaceful and quiet, impeccably clean, and had all the comforts of home. The Farmhouse stay exceeded our expectations! We will be back!

Our stay in Port Renfrew was a great reset and time of rest before we headed to other adventures on the south end of Vancouver Island. This Airbnb location and host are great -- clean, organized, and with stunning views.

such a great host and a cozy comfortable space. needed to change a date, and Terry opened the calendar to accommodate. would gladly stay here again!

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!

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.

My group (4 adults) had a fantastic stay at Wayne's apartment. The apartment was spacious, well equipped (women's hygiene products, bathrobes, etc.), and very centrally located. Wayne was also very helpful in fulfilling a few of our requests such as providing us with a fan and an early check in. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a comfortable, central place to stay in Victoria.

Our stay was amazing!! Christina had snacks placed out for us which we loved, the heated floor in the bathroom was awesome, temperature in the room was great, we really enjoyed the hot tub on sight and the restaurant within walking distance. We went for a walk on the nicely maintained walking trail beside the ocean, and then sat by the propane fireplace and watched the sun set. Lots of available covered parking, wish we stayed longer to try out the pool and other amenities. We loved our stay and would give 6 stars if possible, would stay again

We felt very welcome into their vacation condo. The details made towards insuring our comfort, down to bottled water upon arrival and more was much appreciated. A bottle of white wine and Godiva chocolates were placed on the kitchen island along with the parking cards...a nice welcome to the condo. The unit was very clean and cozy. The convenience of walking to Father's Day brunch and later to dinner was perfect. Sherri and Dan sent a lengthy welcome message to us 48 hours prior to arrival, listing the restaurants, coffee houses and their proximity. The communication was great. We would definitely request a stay should we find our travels back to this area. Paula and Earl Goldstein and guests

We very much enjoyed our stay here. Conveniently located and overlooking the water, the apartment was very well appointed, clean and very cozy. On a cold evening, we enjoyed warming our feet by the outside fireplace. We’d recommend this place to anyone wanting to spend some time in Port Renfrew.

A beautiful space and view.. Situated on resort with bonus extras Always love this area

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

Enjoyed the privacy of the unit and the beauty of Pacific Shores Resort. The kitchen was well equipped with lots of dishes and pots and pans. Heidi communicated well with good information.
