Family-friendly holiday rentals in Gulf Islands

We had a wonderful stay! We loved that there are trails accessible by foot from the cabin. (Just walk up the gravel road about 3 minutes.) We discovered that a great morning routine for us was to have coffee, walk through the forest, enjoy the morning light on the ocean, and head back to the cabin for breakfast. Peaceful and relaxing :) Henny is a great host. She shared a ton of wonderful information about places to go and yummy restaurants on the island. The cabin itself is cozy, charming, and quiet. The bed is comfortable, a high priority for me! We also appreciated that we could bring our dog and that she could be off-leash in the grassy area around the cabin.

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!

Wonderful location, wonderful host!

Jimmy was a wonderful host and this magical barn is truly equipped with everything you could possibly need! Nestled in nature, we enjoyed the patio each night and the hot tub was a dream to unwind in after a long day of hiking, with a view of the mountains none the less... we even spotted an arctic fox! We cannot wait to come back with a bigger group, the space was huge for just two of us! Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a unique getaway in the area.

This is a true Guest House experience. Hans and Denise were just incredible hosts. Really thoughtful and personal. The location is top notch, and the cabin is perfect. 10/10. Can’t fault it.

Wow!! What an amazing place to say. Our family spent several days here and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Beds are very comfortable, the house is clean, and the hot tub outside is great after a long day of hiking. The view lives up to the hype, it’s absolutely fantastic!

This was probably the best Airbnb experiences we’ve had! Janet is a great host and it is clear that she really cares about helping to create memorable experiences for guests. She has gone above and beyond to provide anything you might need for cooking and comfort. We wished we could have spent more time enjoying the house any yard, but relaxing with bbq and hot tub after our long days of site seeing with was the perfect end to our two evenings!

One of the best Airbnbs I’ve ever stayed in! The size was perfect for our stay (4 adults for 3 nights), super nice and clean with a cute yard space and the hot tub was perfection. Walkable or a quick drive to Roberts Creek cafe, restaurant and cute shops. Absolutely loved the short walk to the beach/ocean! The hosts were very friendly, helpful and responsive. 10/10 would stay again!

Faith and David were very hospitable hosts. Their farm is very pleasant and peaceful. The quiet of the surroundings, the diverse bird species and the fresh eggs and vegetables really made the stay very memorable. I enjoyed speaking with these wonderful hosts and I will be rebooking in the future!

Great place. Would be happy to go back.

The cabin is perfect for a stop over in the lovely town of Roberts Creek. It is very small and all you need if you don't plan to spend much time in the cabin. The surrounding gardens in Karen's property are so beautiful. It is private and the bed is comfortable. The place is very clean. You can hear a bit of the cars from the nearby highway but it is not too loud. The place is private. Karen was very accommodating and I enjoyed my 1 night stay. I enjoyed the self check-in and check-out. Toilet is in the shower. Not a problem for me but this place would not be suitable for someone with mobility challenges. Thank you for the great stay!!!

Not only is this home luxurious and immaculate, it is a nourishing step back in time where everything is hand-made, lovingly curated, and generously shared. I can’t recommend this little cottage enough. And if you’re blessed enough to walk the gardens, well…delightful doesn’t even come close. I really recommend this stay for a family or anyone looking to slow down and savour a beautiful time.

Cute cabin, perfect for the two of us to stay at. Sheila communicated quick and helped us with any of our needs! Thank you Sheila!

Gorgeous location, comfortable accommodation, welcoming host--Seal Beach cottage exceeded our expectations and we had a fabulous weekend. Thank you for the warm welcome, Lois!

I have to say that this was the BEST Airbnb experience I’ve ever had. Everything was so artfully curated and I felt like I never wanted to leave. Kate is a great person and I would definitely recommend taking her up on her horse lessons. I’ve been riding my whole life and she is a fountain of knowledge in so many ways. I would definitely recommend coming to stay at her cottage and see for yourself the care and beauty of the land and what orcas has to offer. I will definitely be back!

We had a wonderful stay at this beautifully designed carriage house! The interior design is stunning—every detail has been thoughtfully considered, creating a stylish yet cozy space. The unit was bright, clean, and incredibly comfortable. Everything we needed was provided, and it was clear the host put a lot of care into making this a welcoming place. Thank you Chantal and Alex!

we had stayed in the same building last year in our first trip to Vancouver and found the location to be pretty ideal. There is a SkyTrain station that literally within steps, it is across the cul-de-sac from one of the best Asian markets I've ever been to (T&T Supermarket) and the building has included parking as well as a very nice pool and gym included with the stay. The only downside is absolutely no fault of the host at all, but there are a lot of homeless and fentanyl addicts milling about just outside in the plaza. I feel bad for them more than anything, and they were not threatening or bothering anyone, a couple were even quite nice, it's just sad to see.

Cory is a wonderful host. His place and his hospitality were among the best we’ve encountered in Vancouver. Instructions were very clear for checkin making the experience easy. Cory was so generous with his space allowing us to feel very much at home. We’d love to return to stay at Cory’s listing in the future!

We had a wonderful stay at David’s place. It was the perfect spot and exactly like the photos we will definitely stay again. Only issue we didn’t stay long enough😉 it was the perfect getaway!!!

We enjoyed the apartment, it had everything you need for the kitchen. The location is very convenient for downtown Victoria. You can literally walk to every attraction, including the Empress Hotel, Parliament Buildings, Museum of Natural History, and restaurants all around the harbour.

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

We had a great time. The pool and hot tub were perfect, and the cabin is cute. The setting is amazing and Sally and Dale were very helpful and nice. This is the perfect little vacation for a family with young children - it felt like a tropical vacation when we were in the pool in May. Thank you!

We loved staying at Deanna’s. The resort was excellent and the kids had a blast. Lots of games in the unit, kitchen was well equipped for 2 adults and 3 kids under 12. Beach was great and when it rained, the heated indoor pool and games room was amazing!

I had a wonderful stay at this beautiful BnB! The place was exactly as pictured—clean, cozy, and thoughtfully decorated. The host was incredibly friendly and easy to communicate with. They were always available to answer any questions and made sure everything went smoothly throughout my stay. I highly recommend this place and would definitely stay again!
