Holiday rentals with outdoor seating in Gulf Islands

Carol once again showed why she is the host we compare ALL others to. Her attention to detail and comfort for all her guests keeps us coming back time and again. Thank you, Carol, for always ensuring we have the most wonderful experience each and every time we are there! You are by far and away the best host out there! Brian and Kimberly Charest

Priceless views and amazing architecture are showpieces of this magnificent home that combines coziness, elegance, comfort and rustic charm. We’ve stayed at many airbnbs, but this one is a new favorite. It’s an ideal getaway for the whole family; plus it’s close to interesting hikes and restaurants. The kitchen is well stocked for eating at home. We didn’t enjoy the taste of the well water, but bought drinking water at Tru Value. Carley was very responsive and helpful throughout. We would love to come back in the summer.

We spent a few nights here right after our wedding and it was the perfect place to relax and unwind. A beautiful cabin, with a light and airy look and feel. We utilized the hot tub, sauna and cold plunge and all were amazing. We hope to come back again soon!

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!

We had a wonderful here! It was an absolutely beautiful space. We had everything we needed and even things we forgot. It was so relaxing and felt just like home everyday when we returned. Lisa was a great helped us with any of our needs! We would definitely stay here again!

Amazing place to stay overlooking Salish Sea. Spent hours looking for seals and whales in the sea. Inside is modern, clean and had everything we needed! Host was incredibly responsive and helped out with all our requests. Thanks Christine!

Molly was great and the house is beautiful with an unbelievable view. Would recommend to anyone

The Seaflow home was so peaceful and secluded. Our family of four absolutely loves this property and enjoyed the nearby outdoor recreation opportunities. Julie’s surrounding area recommendations were awesome. Julie and her team were quick to respond to our questions and provided clear and concise instructions. We would definitely stay here again!

Had the most relaxing and peaceful stay at Tanya’s, it felt like a retreat. The garden was beautifully manicured with plants and flowers. It was lovely having morning coffee on the deck overlooking the valley. It’s even more beautiful than the photos. I saw a few deer and bunnies on the property. Bed was cozy and sheets were soft. It had everything you’d need for a great stay. Will definitely come back to stay again in the future. Thank you Tanya!

Beverly was very responsive, and the place we stayed at was immaculate! We had a couples getaway here and it was just what we needed :-)

Great location in the middle of downtown, very clean, bed is extremely comfortable & and great view! Nida was very quick to respond to any questions we had. Would stay again.

Well from start to finish this was 5 star accommodation! Exactly as shown except better. This was a true bucket list for initially our parents and then for us as well. Don’t think twice book it!

I had a wonderful stay here. Ginny and Gary were so warm and welcoming, they checked in to see if I needed anything and made sure I felt completely at home. After long days of climbing, it was the perfect place to come back to just as described, if not even better! The surroundings are stunning, and the place has absolutely everything you could want. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a cozy, comfortable, and well-equipped home base. I will definitely be back!

We had a lovely time staying on Discovery Bay -they have a beautiful home with great views !I If you are looking to stay in the area or visit Olympic national Park, this is a great option!

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

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

Was exactly as described. Great location close to ferry. Walkable to town. Great views from the back porch.

Stayed for a week in May 2025. Great location, walking distance to inner harbour, miniature world, Chinatown, and great restaurants close by. Perfect for two couples. Outdoor bar across the street gave us some good people watching from the balcony. Used the hot tub and the condo robes were appreciated! Coffee, tea and some kitchen spices were helpful. Condo safety and parking were excellent.

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!

We very much enjoyed our stay here. Conveniently located and overlooking the water, the apartment was very well appointed, clean and very cozy. On a cold evening, we enjoyed warming our feet by the outside fireplace. We’d recommend this place to anyone wanting to spend some time in Port Renfrew.

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!

Easy to find, close to town and quite peaceful!

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