Holiday rentals with a patio in Cowichan Valley

Overall the stay was great! I’m sure coming back in the summer would be super beautiful

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.

Thoughtfully furnished and comfortable- would love to stay again!

Kirsten was very friendly and accomodating. I'm grateful she accepted our last minute booking and she also let us check out later than the set time. They have a very curious and adorable orange cat who hung out with us for a while during our stay and we really appreciated his company

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 a wonderful place to stay. Adrianna is an outstanding host. I would come back any time again. Five well deserved stars all around. Thank you!

I have stayed in AirBnBs all over the world, and this was the best-equipped, most “perfect” apartment I’ve had the pleasure to enjoy. Everything was beautiful and new, with a terrific home manual. We were extremely comfortable, and the hosts were great at communicating. The kitchen was spacious and extraordinarily well provisioned. The bathroom even had a towel warmer! :)

We had a great weekend at Jonathan’s place. We felt very comfortable in the space and it is just as described. The view is even better than the photos! We loved the serene views, great balcony and well sized bedrooms. Very peaceful and quiet spot (though be aware the small Vesuvius -Crofton ferry terminal is very close by) with a short walk to a lovely little beach. Communication was excellent with great suggestions and info. We very much appreciated that the entire property is smoke free. Would definitely stay here again when on Saltspring!

Anita was a great host, and her place was clean and comfortable. The house is located in a great neighbourhood, conveniently located. We highly recommend Anita’s place and we would stay again.

Very nice place to stay if you’re around Nanaimo. Check-in and check-out were seamless. The place was clean, well-stocked, and had everything we needed. Highly recommended!

Lovely home. Sparkling clean. Excellent stocked kitchen. We all loved the espresso machine with beans provided. The heated deck and comfortable furniture was the best feature. We also loved the view and all the birds. The area around the house is not walkable though. It sits on a very busy road with no sidewalk. We couldn't walk our grandson around in his stroller. All in all a good home. Would book again. 😉

Great stay with a view that put the pictures to shame. We enjoyed the proximity to the many hikes and beaches. We'd stay here again for sure!

I really enjoyed our stay here at Kevin & Lilys place 😊 location was perfect for what we needed. The place was nice and spacious, and very clean too. We did have trouble with entering the code into the door but luckily our hosts provide a key that’s inside, we used that instead because the code was a bit tricky. Very happy with our stay and would highly recommend! Thanks for having us Kevin & Lily.

We had the most lovely visit at Mason’s place. Despite it raining a huge chunk of our visit, we had everything we needed in the house and the location was magical 🤩 Every time we wandered to the beach (water access with the house), there were cozy spots to chill and enjoy the sea life. We saw SO many seals, sea lions and otters along with all the birds. We would LOVE to come back when the weather was warmer to go swimming in the water and soak up the amazing views even more.

It was really nice to be able to stay here, Victoria Island's most prestigious house, will definitely stay here again next time

A beautiful home with everything you will need for family. It is very spacious and quiet, central to downtown Victoria, Saanich and Island Hwy. Deck was a nice place to sit and relax and cook on the bbq. Master bath has a nice soaker. Family loved our stay. Shelley is a great hostess.

We only had time for a one night getaway this spring break and I am so happy we choose Liisa's place. The beautiful patio with bbq and firepit felt so relaxing. It was during a looong stretch of rain and it was nice to have the covered outdoor area. Everything was so very clean and we all loved the living room couch!

Beautiful views from this condo. We enjoyed our stay- the condo was clean, comfortable beds, everything we needed to enjoy the beautiful location! Would book here again!

stayed at 201 for our daughter's wedding. Everything from check in to check out was flawless. The amenities provided were above and beyond and exactly as described. Our hosts made our experience stress free and easy to manage. I would highly recommend staying at the 201.

Me (50s), Mom (80s), and Auntie (70s) stayed at Denise's place for 4 days at the end of January. It was PERFECT! The unit is beautiful, clean, quiet, comfortable beds and sofas, PLENTY of storage with flat surfaces & baskets to put things, enough plugs, extra towels and blankets, a cook's kitchen, easy access to parking and our car. The location is peaceful and pretty, awesome pool & hot tub with a VIEW, nice grounds with rabbits & eagles, and a quick drive to parks/trails. The few people we ran into were very kind and friendly. Denise was super responsive and helpful. We HIGHLY recommend!

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay at the Inn of the Sea! Debbie's suite was beautifully furnished and decorated, the bed and sofas were comfy, and we loved the loft style architecture of the townhouse with skylights and tall ceilings. The partial oceanview was also lovely. We enjoyed the amenities offered, like the communal hotub and BBQs (but a set of BBQ metal tongs or flipper weren't found within the suite unfortunately). The only minor con was noticing the outdoor spaces (main and smaller decks) weren't cleaned; the leaves and dirt should've been swept and the tabletop needed wiping too. Once my husband cleaned it, the deck was more inviting and enjoyable. Overall it was a nice place to stay, with lots to explore between Nanaimo and Ladysmith.
