Holiday rentals with outdoor seating in Shawnigan Lake

Absolutely the best Airbnb I’ve ever stayed at! Gorgeous trail along the coast right out of the house! Secluded and private lot with so much to do right on a beautiful creek. We will definitely be back!

Wonderful place to stay while visiting Olympic NP. It was one of the most well thought out rentals we’ve stayed at. Great attention to detail, thoughtful extras like fresh eggs and multiple charging stations. The property was peaceful and had everything we needed to prepare our fresh seafood dinners! Highly recommend this rental!

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.

Anna’s place was a great stepping stone for our time around Victoria, BC. A private well appointed space, with all you need; we felt right at home and it suited our young family for some time to relax after a busy day. Comfy beds, a great shower and everything we needed for our two night stay . $13 uber into the city was super simple and would recommend. A great place.

Beautiful location very close to local beaches and a 10min drive to Sooke for a wide choice of restaurants and shops. Very comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen, very thoughtful welcome pack from Tess and large sofa with enough space for 4 adults. Beautiful views across the sea to Washington State on a clear day. The wildlife was an unexpected joy with deer and rabbits regularly on the grass in the mornings. Also worth a mention if you are a light sleeper, with the windows open, the birds are quite chatty from first light. Such a peaceful place to unwind. We will certainly be back and highly recommend to others.

Amazing place to stay overlooking Salish Sea. Spent hours looking for seals and whales in the sea. Inside is modern, clean and had everything we needed! Host was incredibly responsive and helped out with all our requests. Thanks Christine!

We had a fantastic stay - private, quiet, and relaxing. The home is well-appointed, with so many wonderful books to dive into. We enjoyed coffee on the deck listening to the ocean waves and our kids loved exploring the beach for shells and crabs. We highly recommend Strait Surf house for your visit to the Olympic area. It’s off the beaten path, but so worth it. Molly is a great host!

Already knew from the pictures that it was going to be nice, but it surpassed my expectations when seeing the place in person. Very relaxing to stay, I would definitely recommend anyone to stay here. It’s private and the amenities are great.

Fantastic from start to finish.... beautiful views, Tanya was helpful and proactive and our stay was totally hassle free... Best views of the valley below with deer, bunnies, hummingbirds all around at various times of the day... very peaceful and we would love to return again in the future.

What a special space! From the moment we walked in we felt right at home and could not believe how beautiful the views were! We loved sitting on the patio to start and end our days admiring the peaceful harbour. The town also had a few nice restaurant options, a delicious bakery, and cute shops to enjoy as well! We were even lucky enough to briefly meet Astrid and Stephen who were both such gems, their love of the harbour and their home is very evident! I feel lucky we were able to stay at their space during our trip to Vancouver island and wound highly recommend this home!

We just wrapped up an unforgettable stay at this beautiful suite on the Olympic Peninsula and can’t recommend it highly enough. From the moment we walked in, we were struck by how serene and lovely the space is in person—so much more charming than even the photos showed. The suite was spotless, comfortable, and thoughtfully put together, with high-end touches and plenty of cozy spots to unwind after a day exploring Olympic National Park. The host’s attention to detail really stood out. We especially appreciated the homemade cookies waiting for us—they were such a sweet (and delicious!) surprise. The location is perfect—peaceful and tucked away, yet still close to great hikes, scenic spots, and everything we wanted to see. It made our trip feel both relaxing and easy. If you’re planning a visit to the Olympic Peninsula, this place is a gem. We felt right at home and are already hoping to come back someday. Thank you for such a wonderful stay!

the pictures do not do this place justice! very spa like, tons of birds, waves, woods, bluff. it was just amazing!

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!

We had a great week in Victoria It was the best place I've stayed. It was quiet and clean, and had everything I needed. Thanks Susanne

This is a great place to stay to be next to downtown Victoria. It’s as advertised in the listing’s description and photos. There’s plenty of room for a couple and everything is in good condition. Washroom facilities, washer/dryer units, and wifi all worked well. We did not use any of the cooking appliances. The location is walkable to plenty of restaurants/bars in the area. We were comfortable and felt safe walking around at night; we did not have any issues with noise. Agata is a great host! Her instructions made check-in and check-out super easy. She responded within minutes anytime I messaged her. Overall, I would highly recommend this place, especially for couples, if you want to be next to downtown Victoria.

Beautiful condo in a perfect location for our trip. Easy to navigate area, grocery and other necessities nearby. Absolutely peaceful environment and always felt very safe. Well stocked kitchen with everything we needed. Highly recommend.

Port Renfrew is a great place to take the family. Halibut Hideaway was just as described, clean and well kept. All the amenities we needed were provided and in good shape. One rule about talking garbage to the dump wasn’t known prior to arriving and we found out the local dump where we were instructed to put the garbage was only open until 2pm the prior day. Either do all your cleaning really early or you’ll have to pack a bunch of smelly garbage into your car to comply like we did.

Outstanding stay. No faults. Would definitely stay here again when visiting Victoria centre.

Lesley's home is a great place for a couple's getaway. Great location with amazing views of the bay from the 15th floor. The walkability score is 95+. We had rented a car but didn't even use it. We were able to fill our 4 day vacation by walking everywhere we wanted to go. Great food, entertainment and shopping within a few short blocks.

Wendy’s place was perfect. Spotlessly clean. Extremely comfortable for four adults. The beds are very comfortable - not too hard, not too soft! Beautiful rooftop patio. Very close to the harbour, restaurants and coffee shops. Very highly recommend this place!!

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.

The best Airbnb experience ever, every piece of furniture in this home is a piece of artwork by itself. The place immaculately clean, well stocked and excellent location. Thank you.

We had an incredible stay at this stunning property perched on the ocean in Shirley, BC! The views of the Olympic Mountains from the premium hot tub were nothing short of breathtaking, especially when we spotted humpback whales at dusk on our first night—pure magic! The property itself at moments may feel more like a swanky international hotel with its backlit onyx kitchen and luxurious rain shower yet nestled in the rustic beauty of the coast. Our host, Robert, was incredibly kind and attentive, immediately offering his charging station for our car—a real relief. Highly recommend this place for an exceptional, premium coastal retreat close to Victoria!

This is a great place to stay if you're visiting Olympic National Park! The neighborhood is quiet, and is away from the busier areas while still being close to the grocery store, restaurants, and downtown experiences. The kitchen was well-stocked with plates, utensils, etc., and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.
