Holiday rentals with beach access in Gabriola

Excellent apartment in the heart of the city! Close to cafés, restaurants, the entertainment district, parks and the water. The interior was immaculate and comfortable, showing a lot of attention to detail. It has a wonderful view! Nida was very attentive and made the short stay very relaxing. Would highly recommend and would definitely stay here again!

Perfect location in the heart of the city. Lots to see and do within walking distance. Great hosts - quick to respond, flexible check in and they gave us suggestions on things to see and do. The apartment was clean and had everything we needed. Would stay here again.

Great location that was very peaceful that overlooked the bay. Rooms had comfortable beds that were well maintained. We will be back.

THe apartment exceeded expectations. It was so spacious, sunny and with a great view of the water. The building was grand and very quiet. It was also near the town of Sidney and ferries going to multiple places. My mother and I both had a wonderful time staying here. Neighbors we met were friendly. It was lovely to sit on the balcony and watch the light change on the water and enjoy the lovely weather we had all week. We were only sorry to leave when it was time to go home!

Great place and location was perfect. Very clean, lots of space and close to the beach. Would definitely stay again.

Cozy, peaceful place perfect for couples looking to explore victoria!

Friendly and attentive hosts, freshly baked goods and breakfast provided which is a lovely touch. Thank you very much.

Our stay was incredible. The space is inviting, Tom and Heidi were very pleasant to deal with. I would love to return in the future.

Ingrid’s home is incredible and was an amazing place to stay for our wedding weekend. The home is beautiful and Ingrid left thoughtful touches around for us. Communication was excellent and we had everything we needed. Exceptional host and exceptional property.

Absolutely stunning location - saw loads of wildlife from the terrace, and an amazing view over the water. Property was also very well supplied with a super modern kitchen and ample bed and bath space. Will be back!

We loved this amazing view home in Nanaimo. It is comfortable and extremely clean. Brian is a wonderful host, very welcoming and helpful. He has gone the extra mile to make your stay memorable by having so many extras available for your enjoyment like kayaks, crab traps and even extra shoes! The home has an incredible view and water access that offers a beautiful place to relax each day. We saw orcas, humpbacks, and otters from the deck! My 4 yr old grandson loved watching the ferries and float planes. Nanaimo was so fun. We are planning on coming back and definitely want to stay at this home again.

We decided to splurge on an extra nice Airbnb for a local family getaway and staying in Marie’s place was a wonderful treat. Everything is so nicely arranged and Marie is a very friendly and helpful host! I really couldn’t recommend this place any higher! It’s a short drive to Birch Bay restaurants and shops, but honestly the place is so nice you won’t want to leave! The huge windows and deck let you enjoy the beauty of the water throughout your stay whether you’re in the hot tub, enjoying the fire pit or sitting inside watching a video on the big screen. The huge shower was a special treat too! :) Thank you, Marie, for sharing your wonderful home with us!

I recently stayed at Ashley's place, and it was an exceptional experience! The property was exactly as described (and even better in person). It was spotless, cozy, and equipped with everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The attention to detail in the décor and amenities made it feel like a home away from home. The location was perfect, especially the view was amazing. I loved the closed huge backyard too because of my dog. Ashley was incredibly welcoming and providing clear communications. I would highly recommend this place to everyone. We definitely gonna stay at this place again. This time Summer.

This is one of the best and fully stocked Airbnbs that I have visited in a while!! Dave’s place felt like a true Airbnb experience- he put a lot of thought into hosting guests in his home. I felt he was available and cared for hosting. The home was better than I imagined- with comfortable beds, fully stocked bathrooms and kitchens. The outdoor space was great, the rules were reasonable, the home was big enough, and we were in a great location. We used a car so I can’t speak to access to public transportation, but with a car we were close to grocery stores, restaurants, VIU, and a beach. Thank you, Dave!!

Wow! This place is stunning - incredible views that you can enjoy from both inside and outside. Beautiful and bright. Lots of nice touches and we felt right at home here with our dogs. Well equipped kitchen, lots of places to sit outside. Be sure to check out the Lighthouse Regional Trail for a close by walk. Highly recommended stay and we will certainly be back! Thank you!

The Ravens nest is perfect. Clean, quiet, friendly hosts. We stayed a week and didn't want to leave. The space is well laid out with a small sitting room at the front with a view of the entrance to Active pass and Miners Bay. There are loads of extras like condiments in the fridge, coffee pods (2 per day) sugar, food wraps, etc. Tim and Patti were very friendly but never intrusive. Although the suite is on the bottom level we never really heard any sounds from them. I recommend 100 percent. Thank you Tim and Patti!

Lovely view from the first floor!

The Inn on the Harbor was a perfect weekend getaway spot. Super clean and comfortable with great water views. Check in was made really easy and Tracey gave great directions ahead of time. Downtown Blaine is very walkable from this spot. We will be back!

The only complaint I have is the bed in the bedroom. Could not sleep on it very squeaky, wiggly, mattress very lumpy.. needs a foam mattress and new frame. It was so uncomfortable. Thank god the couch was comfortable. Hopefully he will replace the bed by the next time I stay.

We really loved our time at the Strand. It was our first extended family road trip with our little one and we couldn’t have asked for a better spot to relax, play, explore and create some lasting family memories. Jenn was personable and prompt in her replies. We really appreciated all the extra touches to make us feel welcome!

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

Enjoyed the privacy of the unit and the beauty of Pacific Shores Resort. The kitchen was well equipped with lots of dishes and pots and pans. Heidi communicated well with good information.

This is a lovely property with its own character & personality. Great amenities & great shower, the outside patio is sun-drenched. The apartment is close to the beach, shops bars & restaurants. Well served with local transport to downtown.Brendan is a great host, professional helpful & responsive. Great place to stay & a great host. Very highly recommended.

This place is so clean and comfortable. The host is super helpful providing tipis and instructions. Nice area to walk around for food and shopping. Easy to get around taking trains too. We love it!!
