Waterfront holiday rentals in British Columbia

We had such a lovely stay! The place was perfectly situated right by the water, which made for the most peaceful mornings and beautiful views. It was cute, cozy, and had everything we needed—especially the well-equipped kitchen, which was great for cooking a few meals in. Everything was just right for our little vacation. Would absolutely stay again!

I highly recommend staying at Alison’s place. It has a beautiful view of the mountains and ocean, with great local restaurants and it’s easy to get around to other parts of Vancouver. Her place is very clean and well laid out. It is a vacation in and of itself to stay in and just enjoy the accommodation! Alison was also very flexible and responsive as a host - thank you for a wonderful stay!

Astrid and Stephen’s place in the marina was an absolute gem. When we first arrived, we were greeted by a friendly neighbour who so happened to be Stephen who showed us to our unit, and helped us check in. Though it rained for much of our visit, the views were still stunning—peaceful, calming, and a perfect escape. The home itself was pristine and full of charm, clearly cared for with thought and love. Every little detail made it feel like a true retreat. We flew in for my son’s hockey playoffs, and the location couldn’t have been better—an easy and scenic trip to and from the arena. In fact, we loved it so much that we added two extra nights to our stay instead of touring to Victoria. No regrets! The local touches were a highlight—morning walks for fresh sourdough bread from Grain, amazing local wines at nearby restaurants that we walked to for a few lunches, dinners and a stop for some delicious tubs of local ice cream that we stocked up on! Grateful.

I have started here before and will again. A lovely place

We stayed for 9 nights and it was exactly what we were expecting in a city stay. The apartment had all the basics, there’s a grocery store less than one block away, the amenities were great, and the neighborhood felt quite safe too. Parking was secure but tight for my mid-sized truck but that’s to be expected in a parkade. Many thanks!

Magical!! Even more beautiful than the photos. The place was exceptionally clean and hosts very responsive. Communication excellent. I would love to come back here and just sit and enjoy the view some more.

Great location in Yaletown. Small but well organized we appreciated the extra supplies included such as laundry detergent and paper products. As expected the building entrance was hard to find. There’s construction all around the building and the ally access was hard to find during rush hour. Once we figured it out, all was good. Beds were comfortable and noise level was quiet (amazing in a city!). To make this even better would recommend more comfortable pillows and a thorough cleaning of the vents & replacement of the air filters to minimize dust. The location truly unbeatable. We were at Stanley park and Granville island within 15 minutes. There are several parks and playgrounds nearby for kids and walkable to the nearby museums and stadiums. Would recommend for families and couples alike!

A lovely place in a lovely neighbourhood. The place had everything we needed and more! The parking garage was really convenient - we especially appreciated that they had a luggage trolley to bring up our things. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony watching the boats go by, going to the nearby beach accesses, walking into Sidney and over all just enjoying a relaxing holiday. Cindy and Justin were great hosts - we hope to be back soon!

This is the second time we have stayed at Diane’s place and I’m sure we will be back. It is tucked away in very peaceful quiet area of hope. Right on the river which is great for a cold plunge and hot tub to warm up in after. There is a beautiful walking trail right out of the driveway that takes you to othello tunnels. Inside the house is spacious and clean. Great for cooking meals and relaxing with friends. Diane was a great host and had provided everything we needed. Highly recommend!

Beautiful and convenient location for our Victoria trip. Lake view and private dock was a bonus. We went during Thanksgiving so we appreciated the view and hot tub. Only complaint was the very limited cooking pans and pots

We stayed at Kim's cabin over Christmas and it was a great choice. The cosy, wooden interior, the log fireplace, and the moody views across the lake really made it a special stay. The open layout of the main living area makes for a great group hang-out space. - the well stocked kitchen overlooks the living space, with an island with stools in-between - perfect for laying out spreads for people to graze! The dining area to the side, while removed slightly from the main area, is still very open and holding conversations between the 3 areas was seamless We only used the 2 downstairs bedrooms and the furnishings were good and in-keeping with the cosy and rustic feel. We made use of both the sauna and jacuzzi tub, and both worked well. As a group of just 4 we fit very comfortably, but even with 6 I feel there'd be plenty of room to hang out together, or spread out and have your own space if you wanted. Overall a very comfortable property than captures the warm vibe of the Kootenays.

The house is immense but also cozy at the same time. It’s private but also very close to shops, restaurants, and beaches. It’s very modern but still embodies the Pacific Northwest. It has all the luxuries of a resort but large enough to host 1 or two families. Thanks for the awesome experience.

We enjoyed a 3-generation family getaway at this fabulous home mid-winter. It was perfect! With 2 kitchens, we were able to create celiac-safe meals in one of them. With 2 dining room tables, we had room to leave a 1000-piece puzzle set up at one of them. With the wood-fired sauna, and a firepit on the front lawn area, there was always a project for the 10 and 9 year old grandsons to learn about making fires safely. We rarely left the house! There were eagles, ducks, boats, and waves to watch.

Smokey point was great very clean with easy access to Tofino and Ucluelet. The hosts were easy to communicate with The kitchen was well equipped. We had a wonderful time.

This place was incredible and had everything we needed. The views were stunning! It was a perfect retreat for our group! Many thanks to the hosts.

Great place to stay with a group of friends, even in the rainy winter season. The sauna was definitely a highlight, if you’re comfortable getting the wood stove going. The place was comfortable and had everything we needed. Would definitely return!

My boyfriend and I had a weekend getaway at Celina's place. It felt like home away from home. Our stay was very relaxing, and the apartment was clean and equipped with everything we could have possibly needed. The living room window offers a nice view of the ocean. While we didn't have much luck with the weather, the cozy atmosphear of the apartment made the rainy day bearable. We absolutely recommend it to anyone comming to Tofino.

From the moment I walked in I already couldn’t wait to come back. The view was beautiful, and the space was spacious yet cozy. Being October it was a bit cooler in Qualicum, but with the electric fireplace and baseboard heaters I didn’t feel it inside! The kitchen had so many little touches that felt thoughtful, from drinks in the fridge, spices in the cupboard, and all the utensils and pans to cook a meal in. Barry was proactive with messaging and very responsive when I had a question ahead of my stay. A perfect weekend getaway!

Angie's home had an unexpectedly beautiful view of the harbour - always something going on - yet the apartment was very quiet. Location was central to so many things - whether you had a car or not. The security for the building was very effective - we felt very safe.

We rented for a month, so we got to know the ins and outs of the building and the neighborhood. When we were searching our biggest concerns were: location, view, parking and pricing. Grace's condo is small but easily adequate for two active people (who like to cook) for a month's stay. Everyday we took long walks along the harbor. The best walk is to immediately cross the Johnson St. Bridge and follow the Songhees Walkway which goes 3km to the west. We saw herons and owls, otters and seals. Victoria has a homeless issue which is something one cannot avoid noticing. However, we did not feel unsafe at any time. There are neighborhood supermarkets within walking distance, though food prices are really high (about double) compared to the Superstore or the Costco in Langford, which is a 20min drive away. Grace's apartment has excellent parking and seems to include overhead racks for kayaks! We did not inquire about these, but there seem to be many free spaces. Enjoy!

James’ place is in a perfect location with a wonderful view and is beautifully kept! Will definitely plan to stay there again when we’re next in Kelowna!

Gorgeous place to stay! You simply can’t beat the views of a top floor, corner unit looking out onto Tofino’s stunning ocean backyard. The beds were comfy, everything was just as it seems in pictures and communication was clear and helpful. Great stay overall!

Location, location , location! This unit is 3 min away from the Seabus and your front yard is a beautiful walkway by the water. All amenities provided and Kash was attentive to additional needs. Parking is easy and if you follow the instructions , you’ll go smoothly. Will stay again . Thanks Kash.

Highly recommend Roy’s place! The location was perfect and the view from the master bedroom of the water was amazing! The apartment was very spacious and clean and it had everything we needed! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would definitely stay again!
