Beachfront holiday rentals in Nanoose Bay

This carriage home was the perfect space for 2 people. Incredibly clean, private and quiet with a beautiful view of the water. Great location, 5 minute walk down the hill to Lower Gibsons. Christi was easy to communicate with and very accommodating. Would definitely stay here again!

Our family stayed for four nights and we had a wonderful time. The studio suite was larger than what we expected and it has a nice patio area. The kids loved the bunk bed. There was a good size desk to get some work done. We have stayed at Pacific Shores for many times over the years and it has all the amenities onsite while being very close to Parksville.

Very clean and tidy, exactly as described. Responsive and helpful host, beautiful view, and enjoyed the various birds and deer. Highly recommend!!

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.

My husband and I stayed here for a relaxing anniversary weekend with our dog and we had such a great time. The suite was clean, well laid out, and comfortable. Dean and Amanda were lovely hosts and we felt right at home. Not to mention the beautiful view from the patio. The easy access to the beach allowed us to walk down with our dog for a peaceful evening stroll. Overall, we had a fantastic time staying here and would definitely recommend it to our friends and family hoping to visit Gibsons. Thanks Amanda and Dean!

Had a wonderful stay, our pups had a great time, just walked across the street and we were on the beach. The road in front is a dead end with more people walking on it than cars! Wonderful view out the bank of windows - even saw a Black Bear early one morning walk down the driveway. Place was well stocked and exactly what a rustic cottage should be.

Gill and Sue are fantastic hosts, they are very friendly, responsive, helpful and proactive in their communication. Their cabin is just fantastic and located within a beautiful area, literallyon the beach front. "Sleeping under the stars" was a very apecial treat. When we can, we will definately be back. Thank you Gil and Sue!

Lisa’s cottage was just beautiful. Lisa had thought of everything and has really made sure that the cottage is well equipped with everything you need for a great stay.

Our stay at Shannon's condo was fantastic. Views of the ocean and creek from the condo were amazing - full of wildlife and beauty, and the binoculars in the condo helped us view them a little more close up. Shannon was quick to respond when I couldn't figure out how to turn on the fireplace. The kitchen is small, but very well equipped, and we made most of our meals in the condo. The bed was very comfortable! There was one comfy chair in the living room, but the one small drawback in the condo was that seating in the living room wasn't super comfy. The amenities at the resort next door were fantastic. A very good value, for an overall wonderful stay, in an awe-inspiring location. I would 100% recommend Shannon's condo.

We had a really great time at this very comfortable townhouse! Derek was a very responsive host and was incredibly accommodating of us traveling with a baby. Would definitely stay here again!

We can’t rave enough about our stay. From the moment we walked in and the attention to detail. We were blown away by the thoughtfulness of Barb and Randy to our personalized surprise. They are top notch hosts! The pictures do not do this place justice. It is a beautiful gem and we will be back. Love the unit, the scenery, the resort and the area.

Our family had a wonderful stay at Lilian’s place! It’s homey, comfortable and clean and the setting is just gorgeous. We enjoyed the beach access and amazing view and even made use of the fire pit area. It felt like a great location in relation to all of the hikes/exploring we did. We would definitely stay here again - highly recommend!

This place is a great find! Absolutely stunning view from the living room and bedroom of peaceful ocean rolling in and out, amazing sunset and overall the complex has lots to do. Restaurant on site is a great bonus! Hosts very responsive and flexible, we will definitely book here again! 2 points to be aware of: 1) There is a Personal Intake form that must be completed above and beyond Airbnb's info (click to show more 2x in the House Rules section), we were taken by surprise by this. 2) There is a suite attached to this rental unit that is also rented out. When occupied it can greatly affect the serenity of the environment as you can hear every word spoken. This was unexpected. Again, a couple unexpected notes but we would definitely book here again!

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

John’s place was fantastic. Easy check-in and quick to answer any questions. My wife and I really appreciated the size of the condo and all the amenities. The fireplaces, jetted tub, comfortable king bed, well equipped kitchen and beautiful patio. We took advantage of the on-site amenities including the gym, pool, outdoor hot tub, trails and restaurant. Our stay was awesome and John made us feel right at home. Highly recommend this gem of a condo in beautiful Nanoose Bay.

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!

Fabulous studio apt on the beach with fantastic views. Prop mgr Mischa was most accommodating and solicitous host Ive ever encountered. Excellent value. Will undoubtedly return.

This was a perfect place to stay while we were visiting Vancouver Island. The location made it easy to explore other areas of the Island as a day trip. The condo itself is situated right across from the pool and hot tub as well as the beach trail which we were able to enjoy while we were staying. Overall, the condo is equipped with everything you need to have a pleasant stay and the host was easy to contact and responded quickly. I would recommend this airbnb!

We had the most wonderful stay at this beautiful beachside rental! From the moment we arrived, we were struck by how peaceful and welcoming the space felt. The home was spotless, tastefully decorated, and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The view of the ocean was absolutely breathtaking — we spent every morning with a coffee on the deck, watching the waves roll in. Beach access was just steps away, making it easy to enjoy long walks, swims, and sunsets without ever needing to get in the car. The hosts were incredibly kind and responsive, providing helpful local tips and ensuring we felt at home. Every detail — from the cozy linens to the thoughtfully stocked kitchen — made it clear they truly care about their guests’ experience. This place is a gem. We left feeling rested, refreshed, and already dreaming about our return. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a peaceful escape by the sea.

Our stay was fantastic from beginning to end. This beautiful suite with a great view was just what we needed. It was clean, spacious and felt like home. Gary and Annemarie were exceptional hosts. Our morning latte and a huge breakfast was an excellent way to start the day. This is one of those trips that will never be forgotten because of the warmth and friendliness of our hosts. Gary’s omelettes and scones were a special treat not to be missed. I enjoyed spending time decorating shells with Annemarie - her knowledge of the island is vast! This is one of those rare gems that exceed all expectations. We will be back!

Beautiful location!! Talk about waterfront, you are literally on top of the water 😊 We saw many seals and otters, geese and even Eagles on the beach eating their fish. The sound of the waves and the ocean lapping on the rocks… and the refreshing scent of the beautiful ocean air. The caretakers, Tani and her Husband were very nice and accommodating. Shiney Happy People! Thank you so much, we really enjoyed celebrating our 15 Year Anniversary at your piece of Heaven. The cabin is also very well equipped and nicely decorated!

Rob is a fantastic host. We had some issues getting the fireplace to start and he came right over and fixed it for us. He is very responsive and friendly. Highly recommend his Airbnb for a peaceful getaway!

We stayed here with our two young kids. We had an excellent time! It was great being on the ground floor and having access to the beautiful grassy area with a little fairy garden. The unit had everything we needed and the laundry was a great asset. We had a blast looking at all the creatures along the creek and in the tidal area! We loved the pool and hot tub! They were in excellent condition and just a short walk from the unit. We were visiting friends in the area and would definitely be back!

The Cozy Home was exactly that. Spotless, comfy and loads of room. Minh was fab at responding, informing and just lovely to deal with.
