Smoking-friendly holiday rentals in Gulf Islands

For sure we will be back again if she’ll have us! ;) the kids had so much fun! Really spacious!!

Amazing experience from start to finish. Easy, simple and a property that exceeded our expectations. The view is second to none. The place is very comfortable and well laid out inside and out. Everything was awesome and I’d highly recommend a stay. It wil not disappoint.

What a lovely space! I wish we had had more time to cozy up in the apartment, but we were gone for a lot of the stay. It was pristine, very comfortable and very well stocked. The only kind of interesting thing was the bed is rotated 90º, so one person has to sleep against the wall and crawl over the other if they need to get out. Also, definitely read the instructions on how to find the place because Google Maps took me around the back instead of up the driveway. Thank for for a great stay, Janie, I hope we can come back soon!

Went to a hockey game and it couldn’t have been better location. Crossed the street and was in the game in 5 minutes. The place has incredible views and was very clean. We used the pool and sauna in the next building which was an about a hundred feet away. The only downside was hearing the train in the morning but other than that everything was great

Vesna is very friendly and accommodating. She is very responsive. Will definitely book her place again!

Colin’s ground floor apartment was very easy to get in and out of, parking was very well described and fit our giant rental SUV, the place had just about the right amount of amenities - well stocked kitchen with seasonings, oils, coffee - yea(!), plenty of towels, the washer and dryer were very appreciated, ample bedding, comfortable beds, fans, blankets. The apartment was quiet and spacious enough to fit a portable crib in the master, the workout room was a nice addition and straightforward to get into. My only major complaint was that there wasn’t a hair dryer, but luckily one of our group packed one and shared, so I didn’t have to go buy one. I did have to clean a fan before we felt comfortable using it, and another bedside table in the extra bedroom for phones, etc. would be nice, but other than that, we were well provided for. Colin was easy to communicate with both before and while at the property. I would highly recommend staying at Colin’s place.

Really enjoyed morning coffee with the hummingbirds! Beds were very comfortable, and suite was spacious.

Great place just outside of town. Not too far of a drive from anything. Quiet neighbourhood with a great view of the inlet! The place was nice and clean and Sydney was very welcoming and very helpful with anything. Would stay here again!

The location of this place couldn't be better for exploring the Island and especially for mountain biking (hosts were very accommodating with letting us store/charge our ebikes in their garage during our visit). Very easy access to everything North and South of Nanaimo as well as the city itself. The apartment is very peaceful with your own private garden/sitting area. While Nash and Louise are delightful hosts the real star of this property is Ollie, the most well behaved dog you will ever meet. Ollie greeted us upon our arrival and checked in most mornings to make sure we were well taken care of. Be sure to get Nash and Louise's restaurant recommendations.

Shirley has a beautiful home. She is super responsive and helpful. A delight.Her home was great as well had everything we could need. The Kitchen very well stocked. Deck was so soothing and relaxing. I am so happy !I had such a wonderful weekend staying here with friends and visiting family. Thank you Shirley for the thoughtful touches. Would definitely recommend this home.

Fantastic stay and delivered the solitude in nature that I was looking for. It was a great way to experience the San Juans. The view was stunning, the access to the beach was stellar, and one of the best ways to spend a few days relaxing. The loaner vehicle was perfect to get us from dock to house. Reminder, for anyone looking to book this airBNB, please be mindful of what you pack and bring as there is no store to quickly run to if you forgot something. Also, you need to pack out your recyclables & non-compostables. Overall, would stay again and have already recommended it to others as an Eco-friendly vacation destination.

Really great spot. Quiet, private, easy walk to shops and restaurants

Such a lovely place to spend our wedding night! The sauna was our favourite :)

We had a great stay at this beautiful Airbnb. Was exactly as pictured…everything you could possibly need. I will say it does accommodate 4 people; however, I wouldn’t suggest adults sleeping on the couch… kids would likely be okay. Definitely enough space just not a comfy sleep. If you’re someone who doesn’t like to have an early morning start…the running around started around 6:40am…wasn’t an issue for us but could be for some people. Other than that you couldn’t hear any noise from upstairs…. Just kids being kids ❤️ Beautiful location with private seating outside. Having access to a washer and dryer was awesome (They did have detergent that we used but we picked up our own dryer sheets). There was flour, sugar, coffee, spices, etc…. Worth checking what is available before you buy your own… That was a nice surprise. We loved our stay and felt completely at home

very cute place. all the comforts of home. our host was very informative and responded very quickly. will definitely stay again

Bobbi’s suite is comfortable, conveniently located, and she’s a great host. Our second stay was as pleasant as the first. We’ve found our home away from home while in town.

Space was absolutely perfect and beautiful. Spacious. Well maintained. Peaceful. Loved it. Because it is in the city downtown and in a complex of sorts, check in was a bit complicated. Marion did a great job of giving very detailed step by step instructions and was generally very helpful in all ways.

Really loved the space and the jacuzzi. The bed was super comfy. Location wise, only about a 10 minute drive to restaurants and about an hr drive to Lake Crescent. I would love to stay here again. Thanks so much Brad. Especially for your kindness and empathy toward my situation while checking out. Couldnt thank you more for it.

We couldn’t have picked a more perfect place to spend a week in vancouver . Sean and machiko have shown such kindess and been so lovely and welcoming even making us breakfast the day of our flight . An interesting and eclectic space with gorgeous design we 100 percent reccomend !

What a gentleman! He welcomed us with cookies and cappuccinos. Cannot wait to visit again! Thanks for the wonderful hospitality Ryan!

Cassidy was super helpful. She was clear about directions and helpful with tips for the surrounding areas. There was a slight problem which she immediately acted upon and rectified the situation when she was notified. That meant a lot to me. Thank you.

I put a lot of thought into finding the right place before coming to Vancouver. While many people prefer staying downtown, I prioritized comfort, safety, and peace of mind. That’s why I chose this place, and it turned out to be the best decision. The neighborhood is quiet and pleasant, the room is clean and cozy, and it has everything I needed—TV, desk, and more. But what truly made my stay special were the amazing hosts, Billy and Justin. They were incredibly kind and made me feel at home from day one. Thanks to them, I quickly felt settled and comfortable, even though I was in a new country. I was worried I wouldn’t be able to sleep well in a new place, but the bed was so comfortable and the atmosphere so calm that I had no trouble at all. I originally chose this place because of the great reviews, and now I can say, they were right. If I could give more than five stars, I would. Thank you so much. Being here made me truly happy, all because of you. Billy and Justin! :)
