Holiday rentals in Shawnigan Lake

This is a beautiful, tranquil location and lovely home. DM is a very attentive host, almost like a mom :) There were a lot of thoughtfully tailored touches that welcomed us and made us feel at home, including some really lovely breakfasts. It made for a very nice, cozy getaway with a lot of nice perks - massage table, firepit, and a super comfortable hot tub. if you're looking to be charmed by East Sooke, this is a fantastic place for it!

We enjoyed the chef approved kitchen. Lovely attention to details that made the stay easy and comfortable (hot tub slippers, lots of towels). We loved the art, the ocean view was amazing and the home was well stocked. Dominick was quick to respond when we needed help. Our gal’s getaway, in this wonderful setting, was one for the books. We look forward to our next visit.

Gail's House is a beloved family getaway filled with quirky and interesting marine and nautical pictures and gadgets so lovingly collected. It's very comfortable and right on the dock and the views are amazing. Lucky for us, we were there in prawn season and our hosts gave us the best prawns we have ever had, fresh from the water. I want to return.

Pat's place is awesome. We, a family of four - two adults and two kids (one is at teen age and another one is younger), spent a great long weekend there. Bright, cozy condo with great view from almost any window. It fits all of us, has a nice kitchen with everything you need for your stay. Heated pool with a hot tub, which we and kids enjoyed, just downstairs. The Bay is very good for paddle boarding. We did twice over our stay. If tide is low, you can reach a tiny island where you can find lots of purple and orange sea stars, crabs, and oysters. Ladysmith and Nanaimo suggest great dinner options. Nanaimo also has a nice walkable Marina merging into Maffeo Sutton park. If you like hikes, we tried Extension Ridge Trail hike near Nanaimo and can strongly recommend it to anyone. Malahat Tower is a fun place to visit, just one hour of driving from "Inn of the Sea" resort, we've been there, and were not disappointed. Will definitely stay again at Pat's place.

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

What a magical place! Only wished we could have stayed longer. Absolutely stunning home nestled in the forest on the edge of the sea. Had a great time

Loved staying in this beautiful area. The pool and hot tub right next to the ocean were the cherry on top. Tammy’s place was very clean. Felt cleaner than most hotels we’ve been to. Her instructions were crystal clear and we had zero issues accessing the condo and the amenities. Our only feedback; we were missing our creamer in the morning for our coffee. There’s a chance it was there but we didn’t find it! Other than that, we loved it and highly recommend!

We had a wonderful stay at Heather and Rob's place. The cottage was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. The view was gorgeous! Overall it felt like a luxury stay and it was fantastic value.

We loved staying at Jim’s place, rain or shine; which we got both. The wood burning stove was a great way to cozy up and relax on those rainy days. Love that the deck has a full covering so we still hung out outside to take in the amazing views. Jim was a great host. Highly recommend! Bed was very comfortable, kitchen fully stocked.. even an instant pot!
