Family-friendly home rentals with a hot tub

Oceanfront Home - 1bdr Suite is a separate space.
We had the most incredible stay at this stunning waterfront Airbnb! From the moment I arrived, I was blown away by the breathtaking views of the water right outside the door. The property is impeccably clean, beautifully decorated, and fully equipped with everything you could need for a relaxing getaway. The open concept living space makes it feel so spacious, and the large windows bring in natural light and offer amazing views of the sunset each evening. The location is perfect—quiet and peaceful, yet close enough to local shops and restaurants if you want to explore. We loved spending time at the hot tub, and the kayaks provided were a huge bonus. The house was fully equipped with all the baby equipment we needed - high chair, pack and play. The host was incredibly responsive and thoughtful, ensuring we had everything we needed during our stay. I can’t recommend this place enough—it’s a true gem and the ideal spot for a relaxing and memorable family vacation.

Port Renfrew Wilderness lodge
We have stayed at this place a few times now and always enjoy our visit. It’s perfect for a big group, has a well stocked kitchen, a cozy fireplace and a wonderful hot tub with views of the beautiful yard. Will be back next year!

Dinner Bay Private Cottage
Our family of 4 had a great stay at Jacquie's cottage. It was comfortable and clean, and in a great location. It was the most thoughtfully appointed Airbnb we've ever stayed at. We cooked most of our meals and the kitchen had everything. My kids loved the horses and the hot tub especially. We would definitely stay here again!

Alegria Vacation Suites
This is a fabulous place to stay in this area. Quiet with such a well equipped kitchen. Loved the heated bathroom floor!!

Jordan River Rainforest Cabin & Spa
Our girls weekend at the Rainforest Cabin & Spa was absolutely perfect! We loved the hot tub, it was so relaxing and peaceful listening to the creek down below. The wood stove added to the charm, creating a warm and cozy atmosphere. The spa shower was another highlight, making it feel like a luxurious retreat. The loft bedroom was a really cool unique touch, but definitely not for anybody with mobility issues or a fear of heights. All in all, we had an amazing time, and we couldn't have asked for a better spot for a girls getaway. Highly recommend!

Ocean View Townhome - Sooke Harbour Marina
This was our first time in Sooke and we shared Fredrick’s place with a friend we hadn’t seen in years. The warm home like environment, the separate bedroom ,bathroom spaces worked perfectly. The views were wonderful and we dined and explored the area easily. We wished we could have stayed longer.

Oceanfront Black Otter Cove w/hot tub
My daughter and I loved staying at Black Otter Cove - the two days went much too quickly and we both wished we could stay longer. (We know to book longer next time). The living space is so cozy and comfortable and the scenery is outstanding. The setting is very peaceful and restful with so many cute/whimsical decorations in the garden. Janet was an extremely kind host and even left a welcome gift for us. Her communication was friendly and clear. We hope to come back some day soon. Thank you Janet!

Dog-friendly cozy cabin in Arbutus grove
We had a lovely stay on Mayne in Kate's cozy cabin. The hot tub was great, and we loved the quiet forest setting. Mayne is also a nice island for cycling - fairly quiet roads, and slightly less hilly than some of the other Gulf Islands? An excellent spot for an extended weekend getaway!

Unique Waterfront Beach House - pets welcome!
Beautiful setting in a very quiet and private bay. Great house, comfortable and well set up. Nigel was great, responsive and helpful. Really enjoyed our stay!

Suite vintage spot on The Drive
Beautiful place in a great neighbourhood! Mieke is a wonderful host, very responsive and easy to communicate with :) I booked the place for family visiting and they enjoyed their stay!

Spectacular Ocean and Mountain View
My family and I enjoyed the stay at David and Patsy's cozy home. David and Patsy were so friendly and helpful. They were responsive to my inquiries and offered the support we needed. Their home was clean and tidy. The kitchen supplies were adequate for making full meals. We saw deer right in the backyard and in the neighborhood. It was really an exciting surprise! A short walk to the nearby community park leads to a beautiful and peaceful small beach. We enjoyed the sunrise there! I would gladly recommend David and Patsy's place to my friends for vacation.

Parkside Family Apartment @ Horner Park
WOW! We were in awe of our stay. Our hosts were responsive and so kind. We enjoyed our stay and would stay again any day!

Patio Zen Stay 'n Play @Happening Commercial Dr
We had a blast at this comfortable, clean and spacious place. 2 bedrooms & 2 full bathrooms were a bonus. A variety of delicious food in walking distance, the area is definitely vibrant and fun. Comfy beds, especially the one across from the bathroom. Nicely decorated with extras- speaker, world globe, chess. Thank you for welcoming our dog too!

Rosie's Studio
Lovely hosts and a lovely place to stay! Trish and Nick introduced us to the property and their 4 legged friends (goats, sheep, and Bella the golden retriever) who we instantly connected with - they are an absolute delight! We had everything we needed for breakfast, including great coffee!, and felt at home right away. Would definitely return and highly recommend. Thank you, Trish and Nick, for a wonderful weekend!

Family Friendly Home Away (pets yes!) Welcome!
Really loved my stay here. Nice neighbourhood and close to many amenities. Nice to stay in a place that is pet friendly not just pet tolerant. Thanks again!

The Lazy J - a peaceful farm in a natural setting
Wonderful and peaceful place. My wife and I were originally planning on doing a camping trip but due to the dismal rain weather, we decided to book an Airbnb suite for the family. I'm happy we went with this place. It's on a farm so it's a very peaceful and quiet place. I love the llamas and the Billy goat - always made my morning! My wife fall in love with the two horses. The host was super helpful and responsive. Great location up island if you want to explore Coombs, Parksville, Qualicum Beach and other locations! I'll love to go there again another time in the future. Note: while farm's water is from well, it may have an aroma and it feels little slummy. But it's safe to drink and shower. If you're concerned about the favour, you can always bring bottled water.

Waterfalls Hotel: 'Oasis at The Falls' in Downtown
This place was perfect for our family of four. we easily felt comfortable and at home. Clean and well maintained. Easy to get to. check-in and check out were easy. Felt very secure. The location is wonderful, incredibly walkable. Close to everything. Would not hesitate to stay again!

The Wilder Woods Cottage
We had a lovely stay at Billie’s Airbnb. The cottage was cute and well set up. Quiet and peace at night - the only sound was an owl hooting in the woods. We also appreciated that Billie welcomed our 160lb Irish wolfhound! We would definitely stay at Billie’s again.

DT 3BDR/AC/Pool/Gym/Parking/Best Location
First, I have to mention something a bit strange: we keep getting Airbnbs in this building and then, after checking out, deciding that we will stay in Vancouver another night. So, Mona’s place is our third rental in as many nights. They have a lot of similarities, but Mona’s unit had the nicest decor and little extras like a delightful Asian-style tea pot and a glass next to the bathroom sink. It also has a binder with thorough and helpful guidance about the apartment and recommendations for what to do and where to eat. Also, this apartment has a view of two stadiums. Mona and her sister were super accommodating when we requested a slightly later departure from the parking spot after check out. Overall, lovely and thoughtful hosting.

Gold 'n Green Cottage
My family of four stayed at Nyna's to attend a wedding over the Labour Day long weekend and enjoy some relaxation time at Rathtrevor Beach. The cabin had an absolutely perfect location for our purposes. It is an easy 20-minute walk to the beach, but we also drove to Rathtrevor whenever the kids insisted on bringing an excessive number of toys to play in the sand. The cabin itself was exactly as described and pictured. We were not entirely sure of our check-in time due to needing to pick up supplies on our way to the cabin, but Nyna still stuck around to welcome us in person upon our arrival and give us a personal tour of the place. She was an extremely responsive and helpful host. We would highly recommend her place to anyone wishing to stay in the area. Thank you, Nyna!

Rathtrevor Beach Condo
If you are fortunate enough to book Donald’s property, you will not be disappointed. My sister and I booked this unit and were so happy that we did. The property houses many more people, but it was also great for just the two of us. We both had our own bedroom and bathroom. So nice. The location is awesome. We walked on the beach and just relaxed. The pool and hot tub were great. This is a beautiful place and we will definitely be back hopefully. Thanks to Donald and his cleaning lady. Cheers Sandra

Sunset Beach Apt. Amazing Ocean Views
Eddie was very responsive and his place fully met our needs. If we had let them, our young kids would not have left the apt 😂 Swimming, looking out onto the city, doing puzzles - all provided hours of entertainment! Thank you for letting us stay at your place, Eddie.

Payton's Place, Mill Bay
Super convenient and comfortable. Enjoyed gas fireplace, pool table and comfortable beds. Host was extremely responsive and helpful. We would definitely stay again.

50ft. from the Ocean - Spectacular!
Place was gorgeous, Iris was a sweet and responsive host. We will be back again 100%
