Family-friendly holiday rentals in Gabriola

The CQ was exactly what we wanted. Private cabin on a quaint farm. We had everything we needed and Henny knows exactly what she is doing! Great location 15 mins max to anything on the island. Old soul meets cute and fresh. Would stay again 10/10. Hoping all the best to Henny and @cablebayfarm and @seafoodgaliano

I stayed here with my Mom and two sisters- it was perfect! The hot tub overlooks the beach and is under a gorgeous canopy of trees that kept us dry from the rain. We had hummingbirds and quails visit us while we ate breakfast on the patio under a wisteria tree. The house is very cozy with everything you need and so many interesting things to look at. We went to Duncan and spent the day at the Farmer's Market, then had dinner just down the street, overlooking the water, while watching seals and birds fish. We are already discussing making the trip an annual event and plan to go again next year!

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!

Jacquie place was outstanding and matched the pictures and description. Her place was cozy and had all the items (kitchen ware, linens, etc.) that you would need to feel at home, as well as backups which is always nice. Her property was on many acres, with owls, ravens and her horses which made the experience even more memorable - the hot tub was also a wonderful way to start and end the days. She was an excellent communicator and it was a wonderful first time experience to Mayne Island.

We had a nice weekend getaway and definitely caught some R&R at Jane’s place. It was a wonderful retreat and very cozy. We’d love to book again if we’re ever back in the area.

Carol’s place was AMAZING! The kitchen had everything needed to make meals for dining in, which we did a lot of because THAT VIEW!! We didn’t want to leave, just wanted to sit and watch for marine life. We saw seals, dolphins, eagles, and a family of 6 sea otters playing. When the evening started to cool we moved our binoculars to the hot tub to continue enjoying the views and serenity. My family agreed the beds were comfy and we all slept well. If you are looking for a go go go vacay Pender Island is not your place. If you want easy hikes in gorgeous surroundings, peace that reaches your very core, and super friendly people I definitely recommend Pender Island! The didc golf course has discs for public use and was really fun! Driftwood shopping center has all you will need. We recommend Sea Star Winery and a stop at Bee Wild distillery for tastings. We HIGHLY recommend Carol’s place!

Lovely guesthouse with pristine hot tub. Robert's Creek is an adorable little community and the guesthouse is within walking g distance to town. Gorgeous property and really lovely breakfast. Hosts were very helpful but respected our privacy. Would definitely recommend.

Darren’s place was an amazing stay. Great location within walking distance of some local eats and bars and bus station. The garden was just gorgeous to sit in and drink your morning coffee. The bed was way comfy! Loved my stay!

Sharon was an absolute amazing host! She had everything clearly labeled in her house from the recycling to where to find remotes and things, etc. Anytime I had a question she answered me within a matter of minutes. Absolutely gorgeous home! Walkable to anything you would need to do on the island. Very quiet, peaceful, gorgeous weather. Slightly rainy on one of the days and beautiful and sunny on the other days. Would 10 out of 10 recommend!

It was such a lovely stay at Keitha’s cabin. It is located in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood close enough by the ocean. The cabin was charming with all the amenities you need for a get away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The cabin is on her gorgeous property with access to a fire pit and yard space. We had a lovely stay here and would love return! Keitha was very responsive and kind and has two beautiful dogs who sometimes greeted us with wagging tails by the fence. It was wonderful! Thank you Keitha!

I stayed at Lauri's place for a week while working remotely, and it was exactly what I needed. The deck offers a great view - perfect for morning coffee or unwinding in the evening. The area is quiet and peaceful, I could really focus during the day and relax afterwards. Even though it wasn't a vacation, I left feeling recharged. The cabin, though small, was well-equipped and comfortable, and the natural beauty around made it a memorable experience.

A great place to relax and rest. the view from the patio over the harbour is so peaceful. The inside space is large and airy. the kitchen is well equipped for cooking meals. we would come back again!

We loved the cosy little cabin! It was perfect! Thank you for having some teabags in your kitchen too - I had the perfect cup of tea before bed and I was so grateful for that little extra!! Your cabin is a little gem. Thank you, Karen!

We had a great stay! The neighbourhood was very peaceful. We really enjoyed grilling on the Weber BBQ and appreciated the multiple fans available in the cottage. The pillows were some of the best I've slept on! My toddler said it was her favourite place that we've stayed. Thanks!

Great place to stay! Very quiet and cozy. Park across the street is wonderful, easy access to nature up on Fromme Mtn. We will certainly be back.

We are a Senior couple having rented homes and apartments in South Africa, USA, Bermuda, Australia, etc. Tabitha is more than a super host, she is an extraordinary host. She was in England when we arrived but no resulting problem. She left us with extensive notes and many emails guiding us flawlessly thru where everything was and how to use, with special instructions. She continued to e-mails us from London England, notwithstanding the time zone difference of 8 hrs! She had encountered a problem with the City Building Dept on her rental suite which is well furnished and comfy with a fire place full kitchen, and gave us the full use of her well furnished decorated home instead. The view of the ocean from her spacious deck was relaxing when the sun shined The location of her home and rental suite is located in West Vancouver, a premier residential area with a short drive to local shopping, a large enclosed mall shopping centre, and an excellent walkway along the ocean front.

We had a wonderful stay. Billie was friendly and approachable, and so wonderful. We enjoy the clean and comfortable place, and swimming pool. The place was very close from the main shopping/restaurants area and it made our stay very enjoyable. Thank you for everything Billie!

Altogether very good. Excellent cation. Clean and verall all very good. Ryan was wonderful. I justwant to make a few suggestions: fix closet doors. Microwave location is to be changed. M.Bath door does not lock. Mattresses too soft. Leave couple of extra ankets. I will use this unit again. Be ready for complicated garage.

Nicole's place is amazing, great communication and everything is as she described. she was super helpful with anything we needed! The yard is quiet and private. there is a shared pool and hot tub not to mention mini golf was so much fun. I will definitely be staying again if given the chance.

the condo is very clean, well kept, great details and in a very good location. what I did not like was the noise level. although its the 28th floor but the street and metro noise is surprisingly high for such a high floor. I would still go back again to this place as the overall stay was good. also the 3rd br is good for 1 person that is very easy going as it has no windows, no ventilation and no space to walk around. again everything was exactly like the photos so no surprises other than the noise level.

We had a great stay! Grandkids swam in the pool most every evening, and it was great to have the beach so close! Accommodations were very clean, comfortable beds, and the kitchen was well stocked with utensils needed for preparing meals and grilling. The grands loved discovering the box of toys too!

Our family of 5 plus our dog enjoyed our stay at Oceanside Escapes. Johanna and Julie were readily available to answer any questions that we had before and during our stay. The cabin was well-supplied and had a binder listing many local recommendations. It was a short walk to Rathtrevor Beach which we all enjoyed, particularly our dog. All essential amenities and many attractions were nearby. The central air conditioner was especially helpful in keeping the whole cabin cool during the hotter days. We will be back.

This was the perfect place for my week in Vancouver! The location is amazing, the room so clean and cozy. I haven't slept that well in a long time! The shower has great water pressure. I really loved the sauna too. Alex is an incredible host, so helpful and friendly. I'll definitely be back again!

Sally and Dale have such a BEAUTIFUL property - it was the perfect location for a girls’ bachelorette weekend. They were also such kind and responsive hosts, quick to respond to anything we needed, we truly felt right at home.
