Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Nanaimo

The comfort of the cabin was perfect for our rainy weekend away as we ended up spending most of our stay indoors. The little fireplace kept the space cozy and warm for when we came in from the hot tub. Plenty of room to set up a large dog bed and the enclosed deck was wonderful to allow her to roam without any worry of her wandering off. We had a lovely time at Ash & Brett's.

Ingrid’s home is incredible and was an amazing place to stay for our wedding weekend. The home is beautiful and Ingrid left thoughtful touches around for us. Communication was excellent and we had everything we needed. Exceptional host and exceptional property.

We had a great time at Scott's place. It was well equipped, comfortable and felt very homely and welcoming. Scott was very friendly and responded immediately to any queries. He gave us helpful tips for local walks and wildlife viewing. We particularly loved watching hummingbirds just outside the lounge windows. We would recommend Karmix Cottage to anyone wanting a get away from it all break, but within easy reach of beaches, waterfalls and forests.

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!

We had a very enjoyable two night start at Haining’s place. Beautiful location, very peaceful, idyllic. A highlight was waking up to see deer in the garden. Great value for money. Excellent host, helpful communication. We would definitely stay again, and would recommend to friends/family.

Craig & Tricia were responsive and accommodating! The driveway is quite steep and they were very transparent about that. Other than that, the place was clean and very spacious!

We loved staying at Dyan’s comfortable, welcoming space. Ideally placed for exploring Gibsons, it was the perfect place to come home to with comfy and relaxing spaces inside and out. The little touches like flowers on the table and home grown lettuce made it even more special. Would highly recommend

Angel House was a grand choice for holiday. A hot spot for a mini reunion with family I hadn’t seen in donkey years. Diana and Paul greeted us warmly and were available throughout our stay. At €750 per night and a €21 cash fee per guest, it accommodated up to 12 guests in 7 beds. Listed as “Entire Home” was attached to Diana’s living quarters but it did not detract the experience. Charming décor, window coverings invited early morning light and hotel-quality pillows needed after a long drive. The provided salt and pepper were a nice touch. Nomads will know to bring their own essentials but I prefer not to ask hosts for things during my stay. Despite a few minor issues—no ice on arrival, low ceiling in upstairs bathroom—house provided ample space otherwise with reliable Wi-Fi and a dishwasher! Location was close to Maffeo Sutton & Colliery Dam Park, a short drive to Duke Point Ferry Terminal and bistros around for lunch. Casa Angel de Nanaimo is a value for a memorable reunion!

This place was clean, beautiful, and so peaceful. We truly felt relaxed and at home throughout our stay. Everything was thoughtfully prepared and made our time in Parksville extra special. If we come back to Parksville, we’ll definitely be staying here again. Thank you for such a lovely space and warm hospitality!

We had a really great time at this very comfortable townhouse! Derek was a very responsive host and was incredibly accommodating of us traveling with a baby. Would definitely stay here again!

Spacious, clean, modern unit and dog friendly.

Great place to gather the family under one roof. 10/10 would stay again House was well equipped with everything you could need but forgot to pack

This was a fabulous rental, it was perfect in every way. Every step of this booking was just a great experience, the host was so friendly and fun to chat with and thought of everything a traveller might need. All of the instructions were clear and well thought out, everything was as expected if not better, the place was spotlessly clean and everything was provided for. Couldn’t recommend this place enough, I hope we will get a chance to enjoy your hospitality again, it made for such an enjoyable trip! Thank you so much!

Clean and organized space. Amazing view and pool with a very private feel. We had a great time walking the neighbourhood and exploring the arbutus forests, always followed up with a quick soak in the pool. Would recommend to anyone looking for a quiet getaway.

John’s place was fantastic. Easy check-in and quick to answer any questions. My wife and I really appreciated the size of the condo and all the amenities. The fireplaces, jetted tub, comfortable king bed, well equipped kitchen and beautiful patio. We took advantage of the on-site amenities including the gym, pool, outdoor hot tub, trails and restaurant. Our stay was awesome and John made us feel right at home. Highly recommend this gem of a condo in beautiful Nanoose Bay.

Judy's place was clean, tidy & well equipped. We had everything we needed with all of the comforts of home. the kids loved the amenities of rathrevor Beach & the pool being near by! thank you! we will definitely be back!!

Stayed here for a week attending classes at VIU. Loved the proximity to the university, grocery store and restaurants, and the quiet neighborhood. The bed was comfortable and I slept great. Travis was super responsive and helpful. Appreciated the breakfast items and little extras.

We had an incredibly great time in Meghan's Tiny Home! The Tiny House has incredibly good amenities and nothing was missing. We especially liked the different location and the garden around the property, you are absolutely undisturbed and can spend a few wonderful hours. A huge highlight was of course the jacuzzi and the sauna with a view of the forest, but above all the hospitality and helpfulness of Meghan & Bryan. We were really very sad to leave the Tiny House and would book with the two again at any time. Absolute heartfelt recommendation :-)

A lovely home in a beautiful neighborhood! We really enjoyed the peaceful yard space perhaps more than our dog!!!

Fantastic place and wonderful hosts! So grateful to call Kerwood’s suite my home-away-from-home for 8 days. Impeccably clean and neat. Kitchen had everything needed to cook dinner. Quiet neighborhood. An absolute gem — as is Kerwood! Great communication before and during my stay. Appreciated the fresh coffee beans, snacks, and welcome note. :) I would definitely stay again. Thank you!

the place was beautiful and we really enjoyed our stay here. We'd love to be back in the future!

Very clean and tidy, exactly as described. Responsive and helpful host, beautiful view, and enjoyed the various birds and deer. Highly recommend!!

The 2 bedroom condo was accurately described and matched the description in the listings. It was well furnished and sufficiently stocked with the basics to make meals at home. About 30 minutes from Nanaimo and 15 minutes to Parksville, it is in a fairly central location to explore the Island. The check-in process was stress-free and extremely straightforward: enter lobby, enter your suite. For those booking, just choose your suite carefully. The water view faces the marina, and the garden view gets you a parking lot view. We saved $200 by choosing the parking lot view but that afforded us easy access to our car from our walk out garden area... for those with families, we appreciated the easy access to the car and the money savings over the better views. What's not really mentioned is how spacious the suite is and how vaulted the ceilings are, like 12 or 15'+. This is easily the best Airbnb condo suite that we've booked. A+++ excellent suite and great value!

After 2 weeks of travelling the island, Shirley’s stay was just what we needed. Very relaxing and cozy. Would highly recommend !
