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!

Really nice responsive host. Very clean & modern room with a nice view. This was my second time stay at the property and I absolutely love it and will definitely be visiting again soon. The pools and other amenities are very clean and easy to find. The staff on property are very kind and helpful as well.

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.

Jay's place was just as described with some nice extras. We appreciated the snacks when we arrived after a late flight. Our family of 4 enjoyed ample space, comfortable beds and linens. Everything was spotlessly clean. Jay allowed a parking space in the driveway and so we did not have to rely on street parking. All in all a great stay in a quiet residential area that was conveniently located for us near to family but it is also near the bus route to hop on public transportation to get into Van. We would stay again!

A wonderful stay in an absolutely stunning location! The photos and description are perfectly accurate, and the place is wonderful to spread out relax or use as a homebase while visiting Sidney. Both bedrooms and bathrooms are spacious and stocked full of amenities, and the kitchen is very functional with a great open room and beautiful balcony overlooking the water. Victoria is about a 25 minutes drive away (depending on traffic) but the suite is close to many amenities including stores, restaurants, the Victoria Airport and the ferries to Vancouver. Highly recommend and would stay here again.

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 🇨🇦🇨🇦❤️❤️

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.

Beautiful place and had a great time!

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.

To have a whole house to ourselves was great. The minute we walked in we felt at home. It was spotless and well equipped. The beds were very comfortable. The location was perfect with the beach a walkable distance from the front door. Would be perfect for a family as the upstairs was equipped for children with toys, etc. We enjoyed are home away from home and would highly recommend this BnB.

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 :) .

We stayed here for 8 days with our Teenagers. We loved it! There was lots of spacious room. Perfect walking distance to the beach, grocery store, Chocolate Tofino and lots of other food places. The fireplace was super cozy at the end of a rainy day. Our key code was not working when we checked in but Mike was quick to reply. Thank you so much for the awesome accommodations. We will definitely be back.

Hands down amazing cottage. We loved our time there watching the sea lions and seagulls, the ocean view is incredible, you’re close to everything but feel totally private like you’re at the end of the island all by yourself. Liz was an amazing host. Highly recommend!

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!

Loved this location and walking in Seal Bay Park next door. Nice to hear ocean at night. Peaceful, pretty inside, comfortable, and lots of tools for the kitchen which was great. Overall, great spot!

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!

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%

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.

We had an amazing stay. The place was very spacious, super clean, stocked with everything you might need, and the view was amazing. It was decorated cute with coastal charm. We would recommend highly this location and host!

Our family enjoyed our stay! Our only regert was not booking long enough. The kids enjoyed the walking path and the pool and outdoor hot tub. We played a few games of pool as well, that was a big hit for our boys. We would definitely book again, next time for a longer period.

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!
