Waterfront holiday rentals in Vancouver Island

Great location, able to walk anywhere in town. Nice water view out the back of the unit and bakery conveniently located right next door.

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!

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

Perfect location in the heart of the city. Lots to see and do within walking distance. Great hosts - quick to respond, flexible check in and they gave us suggestions on things to see and do. The apartment was clean and had everything we needed. Would stay here again.

We spent two nights in this gorgeous space! Elizabeth and her husband were extremely hospitable. We felt right at home. The ground-level until provided unobstructed views of the entire Discovery Bay. There is a short path that leads to the edge of the property where you can sit and take in the view. It was a great space to come back to after enjoying the Peninsula for the day. While you feel out in the woods, it was easy to pop into Sequim and Port Angeles for dinner. We wish we could have stayed for longer!

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!

Enjoyable stay at Krystal’s! Beautiful, modern space with everything you need and more. We arrived in the early morning hours and really appreciated the basket of snacks left on the counter for us. Quiet, had a good sleep. Comfortable beds. Walkable location to the seawall, shops, etc. Thank you Krystal & Neme

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.

CHARMING TO SAY THE LEAST This property was a breathe of fresh air , and magical. The small details , like fresh flowers were an unexpected treat. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Jason is a friendly and approachable host. The property is comfortable, well equipped and easy to heat when necessary. The views are amazing and there is lots of local wildlife; we even saw humpbacks from the front room one evening! Location was good for Port Hardy and a lot of the North Island Trails. Worth every penny.

Spent 5 nights here in May 2025. Located in a beautiful spot with easy access to a beautiful hike along the water. The view from the hot tub is stellar. Lots of thoughtful amenities in the kitchen. We felt right at home! Bryan was friendly, had amazing local recommendations and was very responsive. Would definitely stay here again!

We loved our stay here. The view from the full length windows and outdoor patio were breathtaking. We saw lots of wildlife: eagles, deer, seals, an otter and humpbacks. The kitchen was stocked and the bedding was very comfortable. It was beautifully decorated. We had fires on the beach each night while we enjoyed the peaceful surroundings. It’s a walkable distance to the Dolphin Resort restaurant where the food was excellent. We would rebook in a minute.

We had such a wonderful stay here! The views were absolutely stunning from every window. The interior was sparkling clean and so thoughtfully designed. The location was perfect, just minutes from Birch Bay State Park for peaceful beach walks. We saw so many great blue herons and bald eagles! Marie was such kind host and always very responsive. Truly such a luxurious experience.

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!

One of the best, if not best accommodation we booked on Vancouver island. We felt so at home. It’s such a light, open house with great character and the views are spectacular! Jo and John were really friendly and helped us with any queries quickly. The house is very well equipped and we enjoyed the hammock upstairs a lot as well. Would highly recommend staying here.

This condo was one of the best decorated places I have been. the view is spectacular and is located on a very quiet road. The trade off for not being near restaurants and other shops is that seal bay, one of our favorite hiking spots is 3 min drive away. Having said that, it is a short drive to Comox to get everything else you need. The space is very efficient and the neighbours are nice. We hope to go back soon and thank Kaylee for being a great host.

Great location for all of Tofinos attractions. Apartment had everything we needed for a couple of nights with a great view from the balcony. Celina was quick to respond to all queries. Would definitely recommend.

Gabriel is super responsive and the place was exactly as listed. Also it was priced very well compared to similar places near by. I would definitely stay there again

Everything was just perfect, great location in Ucluelet, the apartment was super cozy, clean and provided beyond everything we needed. Check in and the communication with Rino were easy, he was an amazing host. I highly recommend Tom's Retreat!

We loved our stay here. The place was beautiful and was a fantastic location - close to the centre of Tofino but on the water with beautiful views! Kyle was super helpful and very responsive if we had any questions! Couldn’t recommend more!

I would absolutely stay here again. The beds were very comfortable, and the view was stunning. The hosts were extremely responsive and proactive, checking in to ensure everything was going smoothly and that we had everything we needed. They clearly know what they’re doing in the hospitality business!

This is our second time staying at this airbnb and we love it so much! The hosts are amazing, really understanding and super responsive. The place is super clean and well thought out. The perfect place to bring young kids with lots of supplies already there (highchair/pack and play/kitchenware/toys). The location is also amazing so close to the beach and the resort has lots of fun kid friendly amenities. We are definitely making this spot an annual trip! Thank you Nikki & Jenn!!

Beautiful place right on the ocean. It was great having the heated pool, hot tub and kids play area. A short drive to great cafes and bakeries.
