Holiday rentals with a kayak in Vancouver Island

We had a lovely 2 days at Kevin’s place relaxing. The apartment has everything you could need to self cater and within easy reach of Tofino. Views of the shore at ow tide are wonderful if you like raptor spotting and the hot tub was a definite hit. Kevin was very helpful with lots of clear instructions.

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.

This the the best property we have ever stayed at and we have been at some wonderful properties. Right on Nanaimo bay. Views were stupendous. Easy stairs down to the shore. Brian responded to inquiries almost as quickly as Radar O’Reilly on MASH. The home has all the little touches that testifies that wis wife is involved in the upkeep. Would recommend highly. Would stay there again. Didn’t want to leave.

Had a lovely stay! Chris was great about attending to questions/issues we had. It was so quiet and peaceful… beautiful view and very spacious (actually had 4 bedrooms/4 baths, but tofino only allows 6ppl max to stay in an airbnb. I’d say that’s good info to have if you’re two couples and two singles!) We walked to Chesterman beach several times. Quick drive (8mins) into tofino! The kitchen was missing some things for the price point (I’d say it needs a bit of an update). We were glad to have brought our own knives, placemats, wine glasses. Left some measuring cups! Haha Make sure to bring your own blue tooth speaker, and if you’re into streaming, bring your own Apple TV or Chrome cast as the TVs are old and only have Netflix/amazon prime (note: you cannot screen mirror/airplay from your phone/tablet). We enjoyed both fireplaces! Thanks for a relaxing and peaceful stay!

Wow, what an incredible property!! We had a wonderful stay and very much enjoyed the well-stocked kitchen, expansive deck, beautiful grounds, and private beach. It was such a peaceful place to spend a few days, and we hope to return. We were three families with three small children, and it was a perfect place for them to run around. Thank you Don and Kathy for opening your home up to us.

The house is very comfortable and just as beautiful as the photos. The location is incredible - amazing views of the water, mountains, and big ships passing. It was so lovely to be able to just walk across the street and be on the beach with long walks possible in either direction. It was also really convenient for groceries and restaurants along 4th Ave, and an easy 15 minute drive to downtown and Stanley Island. We loved Vancouver and our stay in this beautiful home!

A beautiful and relaxing place. A few minutes from the city center but with the impression of being in the middle of the mountains in a very comfy spot. Thanks !

A beautiful retreat that makes you feel like you’re in your own world. Enjoy breathtaking views of the lake right from the couch or deck. We had quiet morning out on the deck with ducks and bald eagles fishing right in front of us. Hard to beat this place.

Great stay! Very small but quiet getaway location. Definitely can’t imagine staying in that space with more than 2 people. There was no coffee table which was where we were supposed to find extra linens so I’m not sure what happened but it was fine regardless. Everything was fairly clean, easy to find. Lots of spider webs all over the patio and furniture, but it’s nature. Would stay here again on a summer day.

This was a wonderful setting for family connection. The expansive property gave the kids plenty of space to explore. We so enjoyed kayaking to Skull Island, many rounds of frisbee golf, hiking from the property to expansive views, and crabbing from the dock. The rental was exactly as advertised, and Dennis and Lynna were very thoughtful, responsive hosts.

A beautiful location - we loved saying here. A great spot to chill and take it the beauty of the Sunshine Coast. We’d love to come back.

This place is a gem! We brought our four small children here (ages 2-7), and it was great for all of us. There were lots of toys and games for them plus non-breakable plates and glasses. We enjoyed relaxing with amazing views from the porch. The kayaks were lots of fun! Such a great, relaxing family vacation spot. Bob is a wonderful host, too! It felt like we stayed at a friend’s beach house.

We had a great time in the cottage of James! It was easy to find following his directions. We were welcomed by a stunning sunset, the First of several. We used the kitchen only once as there‘s also a BBQ on the deck of the cottage and some restaurants in the area James recommended. There’s a canoe one can use, unfortunately it was so windy we couldn‘t try it. To be honest we have not seen wildlife like whales from the cottage as June seems to be too Early for that, but there are several wildlife tours in the area and we have seen some grizzlys and others during those. The Area is Full of history about the First Nations and James provides next to games, books and binoculars for entertainment also some information about the history of the closer towns. We loved our stay and can only recommend it!!!

We had an incredible stay at this beautiful lake-side cottage. The place is right on the lake with amazing views. The interior is super cozy, with comfy couches and beds. It's one of those places where you immediately feel at home. Our hosts were incredibly responsive, kind, and helpful. We would love to come again!

Very beautiful place and wonderful host. Would recommend to everyone :)

The location was beautiful. You can see the beach from the hot tub and window. The mountains from the back. The whole area was well maintained. It looked exactly like what was posted. The hosts were incredibly responsive especially when the hot tub stopped working. We were still able to use it, but without the jets. It wasn’t that big of a deal mainly because they responded and showed up within about 20-30 mins. It may have been shorter to be honest. I would definitely go back another time or recommend this location any day. Thank you for making it an easy in and out!

Had a great time staying here for an Olympic Peninsula weekend. The proximity to Hurricane Ridge, Lake Crescent and Mt Storm King are unbeatable, but the real highlight were the amenities. the hottub, paddle boards, kayaks, and deck overlooking the lake were all spectacular. We had a question about where to park and Belle was helpful and responsive. Would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful location. Lee was flexible when we needed to check in later than planned. She gave us a helpful walk-through of where to find things to do on the property, such as the firepit, yard, hot tub, etc., and how to get to the beach. Very responsive and a comfortable place.

This is easily became of our favourite Airbnb stays. The view is unreal and being surrounded by nature is so peaceful. Ashley is a top-notch host and was very quick to answer questions and provide great recommendations. The cabin is stocked with everything you need for making a great meal. Oh and that hot tub with a view, wow. Our pup Willow absolutely loved it. We will definitely come back here in the future.

What an outstanding home and location, with Jason and his family ensuring we felt right at home. There was such attention to detail which made our stay comfortable and throughly enjoyable. The house worked well with a baby and beds were extremely comfortable. That’s saying a lot for a sofa bed! The digital information prior to arrival made the stay very easy. The location could not be more perfect, with views out across the water, and surrounded by ferns and woods. A magical Airbnb stay!

This was an amazing place to stay with my husband and infant child. It was the perfect getaway to escape and come back feeling refreshed!

Our cabin stay was amazing! We loved waking up to beach sunrises and walking along the sand-all right outside our cabin! This home was extremely clean and was fully stocked for all of our needs. Also an amazing location if you are looking for an Olympic Nat. Park base! About 1 hour away from all of the amazing hikes and viewpoints. Harrison was kind and also left us fresh eggs from his chicken coop. Overall, our stay was amazing! Would love to come back again :).

Absolutely blissful! From coffee on the deck, early morning mist hanging over the mountains and geese going about their business, to wine in the hot tub at dusk with the bats darting above our heads, we could not have asked for a better experience. Our kids loved the loft and every creature comfort was thought of and provided for. The location, mid-range to some of the most beautiful places Olympic has to offer was perfect for day trips and in retrospect, I wish we’d stayed here for our whole trip. I hope someday we have the chance to come back to this little bit of heaven. Thank you so much!

Amazing stay at Leah’s for our introduction to Salt spring. It was the perfect place for a getaway and had everything we needed during our stay. Thank you!
