Holiday houses in Vancouver Island

This was one of the best Airbnbs we’ve stayed at. The pictures don’t capture how nice it is. Very clean and comfortable beds. The kitchen was well equipped for cooking meals. We appreciated Chris’s kindness and hospitality.

Heidi's place is absolutely wonderful. The house is ideally situated in the quaintest part of Courtenay, has a large backyard, and is extremely well-appointed. The beds were extremely comfortable and the house had all the amenities we needed for our stay in Courtenay. It's obvious that a lot of thought and care has been put into this little house. Everything was impeccable. Highly recommended!

This was the best Airbnb we have ever stayed in. I could not recommend it more. Kelli was so helpful and accommodating and the Airbnb was spotless when we arrived. The property is beautiful with goats, a hot tub, a pond, and tons of nature. We had wonderful mornings sitting on the deck drinking coffee and walking around the property and the road. It was relaxing and wonderful and if you are looking for somewhere to stay, this is it!

Fantastic accommodations! Felt very spacious with the high ceilings, and also cozy like you'd want from a Whistler cabin. Easy walk to the chair lifts and super close to everything else. Would come back!

We really enjoyed our month long stay with our infant and toddler. The place was very clean and comfortable with lots of storage space for all our things for such a long stay. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook for the family. Lots to do for families in the surrounding area and we loved going down to the beach. You have to walk to a different resort beach access to use the stroller but that was no problem as it was quite close. Would definitely recommend!

Stunning place literally steps from the ocean. Clean, comfortable, the attention to detail in stocking the kitchen with all one needs to make a fabulous meal. Our only wish was a fire table on the deck. We loved our stay!

This place was great for me and my friends!! We stayed for Taylor Swift’s concert because hotel prices were too much in the city so we did have the 1 hour commute each day but the views were gorgeous on the drive. Location is also super close to Squamish which had a Walmart and there’s lots of nature stops to see. The parking was great for the two cars we had. The heater worked really well and there were enough supplies in the kitchen for what we needed! The bathroom was clean and had plenty of towels for us! We never used the washer or dryer. There also were extra blankets for everyone which was great because the weather was colder. I would definitely recommend this location for bigger groups because there was enough space for all of us and it has gorgeous views as long as you don’t mind the drive from the city.

Lynna and Dennis’s cottage was the single best airbnb experience we’ve had. The space is beautiful and cozy, and our hosts were infinitely kind and welcoming. There is so much to do on this property—it was a true “choose your own adventure” experience. It seemed like every day we discovered a new nook or cranny that Lynna and Dennis have put there to surprise and delight guests. We kayaked, explored the tide pools, lit the wood stove when it got chilly out, and had an all around wonderful time. Their recommendations for things to try around the island were spot on. (Check out the whale watch they suggest—we had a blast, and learned a lot about the region!) There is so much more to be done and enjoyed on this property and on Orcas than we could fit into four days, and we sincerely hope we’ll have the chance to return soon!

Wonderful cottage just on the edge of Rathtrevor. We had friends camping in the park and we didn’t want to camp with a toddler so this was the perfect solution. Pet friendly, private, quiet. Cottage had everything you’d need. Host was very responsive and helpful. Had high chair, pack and play, baby gate. Would stay again!
