Holiday rentals with beach access in Vancouver Island

The space was super clean, lots of windows, plenty of classic character, and walkable to both uptown and downtown Port Townsend.

Karen’s place is incredibly spotless and nicely decorated. The rooms are spacious with kitchen and bathrooms fully loaded. Beds are comfy and linens are comfortable. You won’t be disappointed. The check in was flawless once you get past finding the actual location & parking. It is a bit tricky, despite Karen’s great instructions. I must’ve missed the part where the front exit is right on the main highway in Parksville. It is very loud and the beds do shake with traffic passing by. Two of the bedrooms have no windows which felt a bit “dungeon”. The place feels like maybe it was a store front or office buildings before becoming living space. All in all, a great space just a few details lacking in the building description. Location to the beach, town and playground is awesome, you couldn’t get any closer. Parksville is so lovely. A quick drive to Coombs for a fun afternoon! Value wise we felt like we got to enjoy our stay without feeling financially taken advantage of. Thanks!

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!

This place was fantastic. It was so hard to leave, even after three nights. The lodging decor is cozy, very comfortable with lots of nice seating options and has all that you need. Enjoyed making meals in the ample kitchen (oil & a few seasonings) and watching the wind and water through the wall-to-wall windows. For those with mobility concerns, there are five gradual gravel steps down to your entry door (it's on the lowest floor of an occupied 3-story home) and a short gradual gravel slope down the driveway and along side of house to get down to the very private lower section of the property. Your lower water-view yard is very private with a picnic table for a peaceful outdoor lunch with a view. Loved Betsy's tea and coffee options, the banana muffins and homemade bread were delightful. Quiet lodging with minimal walking sounds from above. Open communication was prompt and check-in/out was easy. I can't wait to return with my sweetie. This was an AirBnB favorite, for sure.

Very clean place to stay. Recommended.

Very clean, quiet and peaceful - felt like we were the only ones in the building! BEAUTIFUL view, and kitchen was very well stocked and had everything we needed. Was a short drive to Sidney (definitely check out “Sidney Scones)! Only recommendation would be black-out blinds in the master bedroom (if you like to sleep in) as it was very bright in the morning, but perfect if you’re a morning person :)

Utterly wonderful in every way! A beautiful place with such a lovely atmosphere and felt like a true, laid-back Tofino vibe. The place had everything and more for a really lovely stay - cozy, comfortable and practical. We loved being able to eat in and eat out, enjoyed the beautiful outdoor space and brilliantly set up to accommodate surf action too. Tofino itself is v v special, we loved being in walking distance of Mackenzie beach and the small cafe and outlet area (omg chocolate Tofino Ice creams and choc are something else 💖💖!!) Very easy access to Tofino where we had truly magical tours with Tofino Resort Marina. We are in love with Tofino ❤️💚. Susa and Chris's place is an absolutely perfect base - their beautiful family and way of life permeate every part of their wonderful home. We can't thank you enough for such a wonderful wonderful stay THANK YOU 🇨🇦🇨🇦❤️❤️

Very clean, great space in very nice neighborhood. Walking distance to coffee, shopping. Highly recommend Little Bird Dim Sum. Great shower and welcome basket is a nice touch. Will stay again if we are in the area. Thanks Patrick.

What a wonderful place for a vacation! We loved the proximity to the beach, the quiet locale, and the cozy, well-provisioned house. We would definitely return to Treasure Cove Beach House.

Kim's place was a delight to see the second we walked in the door! Spatious, clean and with an incredible view! We felt a sense of calm just to look out those windows! And the resort amenities were amazing too. We will certainly be back. Thanks again.

Nice house, accurately described, great location! One thing the description doesn't mention is that there are DINOSAURS (made out of driftwood) along the beach, which was a super cool surprise. One thing to note is that the house is close to the refinery, so there are lights at night and some smells, although low tide accounts for some of that and can't be avoided.

5 stars not enough to describe how beautiful David's place. if u want a place to relax and have a lovely time with your family ,David's place is the place that you should have. I will recommend this place to all of my friends, co-workers and relatives. And will be definitely come back :) .

What a dream! The hot tub overlooking the water was unreal. The Beach House was everything we wanted and more. We will definitely book again!

Absolutely loved the design of the house! It was so clean, comfortable and had everything we needed for our 3 night stay. The location was ideal as it’s a 2 min drive or approx 10 min walk to Mackenzie beach, which happened to be our favourite beach in Tofino. Restaurants, coffee shops and Tofino brewing were all a short drive away. Mike was friendly and responded promptly via text so it was reassuring that if anything did come up during our stay he would be available to assist us. Would definitely stay here again!

Idyllic. This is the perfect word to describe this beautiful spot in Qualicum Beach. The property is unbelievable - tranquil, private and restorative. We needed a little getaway from the cold in Calgary and this definitely hit every mark for us. Liz was so great to communicate with not only about the property but also made great recommendations for us to check out in town as well. I think the most amazing part of the home is the location right on the water. Every morning, we enjoyed watching the seals and sea lions and my goodness, the show the bald eagles put on for us every day! We are already trying to figure out when we can return. Thanks again, Liz!

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!

wonderful ever changing views, clean well found home, we loved it there. Kaylee was an awesome hostess, always responsive. we'd return in a minute. thanks Kaylee!

Great place to stay in Birch Bay! Dan and Sherri were great hosts, the condo was very comfortable and had a nice view of the bay. Very responsive and answered all our questions promptly and clearly. Would stay here again!

The Strands was a beautiful place to do a little sister trip with our little babies. It was peaceful and it was so nice being so close to the beach and the amenities of the resort available. The unit itself was amazing. It was so well decorated and beautifully designed. Everything was very well thought out and we felt really comfortable. I would definitely come back and highly recommend it to anyone!

Above and beyond our expectations, attention to detail & made our visit so comfortable ! They were always present to our needs & felt at home! An excellent vaycay!! We give it a 5 plus stars!!!

Place was gorgeous, Iris was a sweet and responsive host. We will be back again 100%

Nice flat in a great location. Would highly recommend!

What a fabulous Christmas Day we had at Anthony's beautiful rental. It was exactly right for our family. Really great kitchen and the layout contributed to wonderful hours of lounging around, and talking and playing games. I'll never forget this place!

We have stayed for the past 2 years in a row and love it here! great location, greats views, the rate is perfect for us, and the kids love the pools! Thank you again for the great stay!
