Holiday rentals with a kayak in Metro Vancouver

I don't think the pictures and descriptions really accurately describe this home. I've never had a more peaceful location, especially in a big city! I could just sit on the deck and watch the ocean view for days. All you hear is the creek that runs through the property, no traffic just peaceful. The bed was amazing like a high end hotel. If you like breweries there's about 10 great brew houses within just a few block area, just a short drive or bus ride away. Oh and if you want to go downtown Vancouver the bus from there goes right downtown, no transfers needed super simple.

Beautiful home and very cozy.

Ada was very easy to reach and very friendly. I was even allowed to check in earlier which I very much appreciate. Surroundings is quiet and very nice. Would definitely book again.

Lovely woodland cabin, very private! Just off the Sunshine Coast Highway, but you can't hear the cars once your inside. Very well stocked kitchen, sharp knives and everything you need to cook a meal or three. Responsive, proactive owners that are sharing their space with you, would definitely recommend.

The place is very clean, cozy, and peaceful, with a great view of the ocean. There is amble space for our group, and the hot tub is awesome. Matt is a great and responsive host. I’d definitely come back, especially as a group or family.

Fantastic Host. Was able to accommodate a last minute stay with early check in and late check out. Would stay here again.

This was the perfect spot for a two-family. meet up. Plenty of space, stunning views, great kitchen, and a glorious location. At the bottom of the driveway is a stairway into a forest path to the beach. The scene from the beach is worth the whole trip. The countless sea stars at low tide were priceless. Bowen Island offered trails and cute restaurants and a great distillery. Even the ferry ride over was beautiful. A fabulous weekend. Thank you!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It was quiet and peaceful and clean. A perfect stop for our Eras tour adventure. Downtown Vancouver was easily accessible by train. Would definitely recommend a stay here.

Chris is a wonderful host! Her, Max and Cookie customized our stay of celebration of our daughter’s achievement with balloons and decorations. She offered great recommendations and was so nice to even go kayaking with our teens. She is truly a gem and what makes Airbnb so special and keeps us coming back for our vacations. The home is stunning, rich, nicely decorated, well lighted, the kitchen was well equipped and the furniture was so comfortable. The views from the deck and the home are absolutely breathtaking and there’s nothing like enjoying a cup of coffee and seeing eagles, sea lions and whales. Thank you again Chris, Max, and Cookie for making our first trip to B.C. So memorable.

We really enjoyed our stay at Pages, the location was beautiful. We enjoyed renting kayaks and exploring the bay. The nearby park also had some great hiking trails and beach. The cabin had everything you needed and the wood burning stove was nice to have on the chilly nights. It is about 15 minutes to the amenities in town and the ferry so not the closest if that’s important to you but we thought their little store had most necessities and didn’t mind.

Salt Cottage was everything we hoped for! The views were amazing and when we were able to convince ourselves to go inside from the decks, the cottage had every we needed for a relaxing stay.

We had a great long weekend at Gloria’s cottage. The marina was beautiful to look over and the general store was convenient for basics. The staff were friendly and very helpful for recommendations around the island.

Gloria’s cottage #1 is lovely, cozy, clean, warm, with a gorgeous porch overlooking the marina. The morning sunshine was beautiful for coffee, the area was quiet, and the scenery and sea air quite lovely. The bed in the bedroom was very comfortable, and the wood stove and dry wood was fantastic for a chilly day. Only details - the gorgeous sun streams in at 6 or 7 am, which is good to know for morning sleepers like me, and the hide-a-bed mattress was a bit thin for the second guest. Overall, just lovely and we hope to book again. .

LOVED this gem of a retreat. I mean how can you not love a sauna, kayak, hot tub, fire pit, and a spacious cabin that overlooks port moody. I wish I could stay for a month! And so cool, you take a boat to get to the cabin. I’ve been telling everyone at my work about this place!

The cabin had all of the accommodations we needed. It was nice to be able to have a fire during the cooler hours, and to be able to walk down to the docks. We bought delicious frozen pizza and lasagna from the store for our first night there.

We loved our stay and wished we had planned a longer trip. It was so peaceful and beautiful. We can’t wait to come back.

The ranger station or Cabin 3 was perfect for us! We were 3 adults and 1 kid. What we loved about it: 1. The surrounding - it’s very relaxing to be surrounded by nature 2. The owner, Reg - is so welcoming and friendly. 3. The little hike behind the cabins - we loved watching sunrise and sunset there 4. Location - it’s a short drive to all restaurants, cafes, trails, and beaches 5. The cabin - Cabin 3 is so beautifully designed and has everything you would need for a relaxing getaway

Sarah's cabin was beyond what we had hoped for. A perfect space for our family of six. The cabin is full of rustic charm while being cozy and comfy. It was outfitted with everything we needed plus more. The multiple outdoor spaces allowed us to enjoy the awesome setting from every angle. We spent much time on the water with our boat, Standup Paddle boards and the kayaks available. Being off the grid took some adjustment but was a healthy thing. We got into board games, shared cooking and exploring the neighbourhood. We'd love to return.

We had such a great time at Carraholly Retreat! The boat ride over was super easy, and the place itself was so cute and cozy. We loved the clean hot tub and spent a lot of time relaxing in the sauna - it was such a treat. Perfect spot for a quick getaway from the city. We’ll definitely be back and would recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful escape!

loved it! such a great nature getaway only steps from the city

This was our first time staying longer than one day in Canada. It was beautiful and peaceful, The Staff was friendly and helpful. We didn't have time to grab groceries our first night and they gave us some Pasta and Spaghetti. The hot tub was also very warm and relaxing. We will be back in the Summer to Kayak and swim for sure!
