"Beach Bliss!" King bed oceanfront suite.
We had a wonderful stay- the location is gorgeous and the condo was even better than the photos. Everything was clean and beautifully decorated. A beautiful place to recharge.

Cupid's Pearl Tranquil Retreat by the Sea.
Having stayed at many Airbnbs in multiple countries, this is by far one of the best. The hosts, Vi & Duncan greeted us upon arrival and provided a wonderful tour. The gardens & views are breathtaking! The space had everything we needed and more. We appreciated the recommendations and all the hosts did to make our stay ideal. Loved the muffins! Thank you.

Edgewater Chemainus Waterfront *Sunrise Suite*
This accommodation is beautifully decorated, clean, and comfortable, with a breathtaking view. Unexpected snowfall meant lots of shoveling, but this was done in a timely manner and our parking was upgraded besides. Thank you for a great stay!

Whale's Tail Beach Suite - Ocean View (#5)
It's hard to describe just how magical Bullman Beach is - I think it's one of the most beautiful places on earth. Carolyn is an incredible host - generous, responsive, thoughtful, and caring. I always feel right at home during my visits. Thank you, as always, for hosting me! I'll be back soon.

Salt Spring Waterfront
Great location that was very peaceful that overlooked the bay. Rooms had comfortable beds that were well maintained. We will be back.

Stylish Studio at Riverside Boutique Motel Unit 3
Lovely weekend away, the place had everything we needed. The outdoor spaces are great, the private dock and fire pit were perfect. Would stay here again!

Spectacular oceanview 2 bedroom in boutique hotel
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!

Oceanview corner suite
The beautiful condo made a big contribution to our enjoyment of the lovely Salt Spring Island. It was comfortable in every way possible, from the beds, to the well stocked kitchen and the great deck overlooking the ocean. There were many thoughtful touches that you seldom see in an Airbnb such as extra towels and linens, laundry detergent, spices, Netflix, easy access door code and many other things. Vesuvius is well located for everything you could want to do on the Island and we would definately stay in the condo again.

Modern Lakehouse Escape w/King Bed & Amazing Views
We had a wonderful stay at Mel’s place. It’s very peaceful, the bed was extremely comfortable and the views are stunning. It’s a little peace of heaven! All the machines seem brand new and it was very clean and had everything we needed. Would love to go back!

The Swell House + SAUNA Beachside
The Swell House is the best home we have ever stayed at, anywhere, in the past 10+ years we've been on Airbnb. Waking up to beautiful views of the water, the sound of the waves, sipping a warm mug of coffee while bird watching, are just the start of each incredible day of our weekend. We also decompressed in the private sauna facing the water at sunset. Inside the home, every room was stocked with everything you could possibly need, including some personal touches and extreme attention to detail. The expansive yard was perfect for our dogs, and also had a bountiful garden growing fresh veggies. We enjoyed using the grill each night accompanied by the produce. In the evenings, we relaxed by the wood burning stove and listened to the record collection. Throughout the weekend I barely used my phone as I felt so relaxed and connected with the coast. We will definitely be visiting again and we look forward to our next stay at the Swell House!

Treasure Cove Beach House
What a great house and responsive, helpful host! I would definitely recommend this home to others. The house is across the street from the water and a rocky beach, and the living room/kitchen windows look out onto the water. The sunsets are beautiful! The area leading to the home does have a few mobile homes and such, but the house itself is cute, well appointed, and very comfortable. There were some snacks waiting for us, which our big kids (17 y.o. and 24 y.o.) enjoyed. They also spent hours roaming the shoreline looking at pretty shells and rocks. Great place!

Montague Lodge on Galiano
Great place. Would be happy to go back.

Youbou Lakehouse
Truly one of the best Airbnbs we've stay in. The house is better than we could have imagined and lake is even closer than what it looks like in the pictures. My five year old son says his favorite thing(s) about the house is: jumping into the lake, the hot tub, the water play, jumping in the lake, the big couch, the showers, and jumping into the lake... Hoping to come back again!

Waterfront Eco home with hot tub
Caroline’s home is clean and comfortable and has stunning views. The upper deck was a wonderful place to relax and converse with friends! Caroline is a wonderful host. She provided excellent suggestions to make our stay even more enjoyable than originally planned. She is responsive and kind! I highly recommend Caroline’s home!

Beachfront Tranquility - quiet, lowbank waterfront
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.

Lakefront Family retreat on Shawnigan Lake
Shauna was really responsive and helpful if we had any questions. The view of the lake was beautiful and the space was comfortable and worked great for our big group.
Waterfront condo accommodation

Halibut Hideaway - New Oceanfront cottage
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.

Seaside Vacay with Oceanside Pool/Hot Tub/Dock
We’ve stayed at the Inn Of the Sea many time and been lucky to stay at both of Tammy’s condos. We come and go from the area all the time for work and it’s hard to go back to a hotel after discovering the condos.

Waterfalls Hotel - Desk, A/C, Pool and Hot Tub
This location was perfect for our vacation. The place was clean and well decorated with a lot of attention to detail. Because it’s leased by a service versus an owner the vibe was different- but the team worked hard to accommodate and connect with us. We would definitely recommend and stay again!

Oceanfront Condo on Vancouver Island Inn ofthe Sea
Really enjoyed are stay at Inn of the Sea! I wanted something right on the water, and this condo delivered! It’s so lovely to fall asleep with the sounds of the waves lapping at the shore. The condo was exactly what we needed, full kitchen with everything we needed, bbq’s available, pool & hot tub. Most of all, the views were fantastic! We saw wildlife everywhere, water views, beautiful sunsets. The only drawback is you do need a car as it’s in a remote location. But the trade off is lots of peace and quiet!

Salishan Chief Suite
I had an absolutely wonderful stay at this Airbnb! From the moment I arrived, I felt right at home. The space was impeccably clean, beautifully decorated, and fully equipped with everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The location was perfect, offering a peaceful retreat while still being close to all the attractions I wanted to visit. I highly recommend this Airbnb to anyone looking for a cozy, relaxing, and hassle-free getaway. I'll definitely be returning!

water-view property
Beautiful property. walking the beach, swimming at the pool, we enjoyed our stay. The accommodation were wonderful. (as described, spacious.) Hope to go again. Thank you Pat for the games and Beautiful kitchen, bedrooms ect.

Amazing Marina & Oceanfront View - Pet Friendly
Beautifully ocean view cottage, quiet, clean and well equipped, we all loved it.

Executive oceanfront/2 bed condo/private hottub
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!
