Beach house holiday rentals in Vancouver Island

The place far exceeded our expectations. It was equipped with EVERYTHING we would have needed to not go anywhere the whole time. The kitchen was stocked with all the cooking necessities, the kind beds in every room with vaulted ceilings made us feel like the boujee girls we want to be. The views were breathtaking and being able to have all of our meals outdoors with heat and covering made it so memorable. The house came with cars and outdoor games too to use on the nice open yard. It really felt like the place was ours. The icing on the cake was the chairs, wood and starters to make our own little beach fire right below the house and roast marshmallows while watching the sunset. Couldn’t recommend this stay enough! Definitely coming back!

Great stay in Tofino feels like you’re in a secluded bay but still a few minutes walk to town. Well equipped kitchen ,very comfortable !would definitely return

Jason is a friendly and approachable host. The property is comfortable, well equipped and easy to heat when necessary. The views are amazing and there is lots of local wildlife; we even saw humpbacks from the front room one evening! Location was good for Port Hardy and a lot of the North Island Trails. Worth every penny.

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!

We loved our stay. It was very clean & cozy & very well kept. It was exactly as described. One fridge was more like a freezer (that we could control) which we appreciated for our frozen foods! Even with it not being a full kitchen we still felt able to cook which was nice. The hot tub was lovely after long days of surfing. Felt very safe in a very quiet neighbourhood. Host was kind enough to let us check in early.

Brian was easy to communicate with and friendly. Was a great place to stay while visiting family on the island. Great views of Departure Bay!

10/10 would escape reality here again. We soaked in the hot tub like blissed-out sea otters, roasted s’mores like it was a competitive sport, and devoured a 3-course meal that somehow nailed it for both a carnivore and a vegan. Great Wi-Fi, so we could post it all in real-time while pretending to unplug. Pure magic. Highly recommend.

My only comment is that is was very hard to find the place especially in the dark. Google maps took me to a neighbouring house and it was very confusing. That being said I didn’t fully ready the hosts instructions so she may have mentioned that! Wonderful place though, we would definitely stay here again.

When I read other guests reviews, I could tell that Janet sincerely cared for all of her guests. If you are searching for a home away from home, stop searching because Janet is the GEM in the Sunshine Coast treasure box.

We were a group of three couples with two kids between us, and the house was perfect for us (air hockey was a hit, as were the spectacular views). When the door code didn’t work on our way in, the agents helped us right away — very responsive.

Had a great time at Jane's place. It is in a great location close to the beach and walking trails. Also within walking distance of great restaurants. The house had everything you need for cooking, sleeping and relaxing.

What a wonderful house in a fantastic location. The house was very homely and restful and was more than adequate for our eight family members. Penny and Andy were always very responsive to any queries we had. This made our stay very easy and enjoyable. We hope to return in the future.

Beautifully decorated, and very comfortable. Well equipped with higher end kitchen equipment, but make sure you bring your consumables (salt, pepper sugar etc) as there is none provided. Comfortable beds and linens.

We were pleasantly surprised at the quality and convenience of this property. So much so, that we considered buying a cottage in this community. Our stay was a luxury experience. Kate and Fohla were wonderful hosts and gave us personal attention as needed. We will be back!

Peaceful and lovely house, the views from the balcony were beautiful. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Nanaimo.

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.

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

Pictures couldn't possibly capture how well appointed and perfectly situated this place is- 5 stars!!! You can sit with a coffee on the beautiful deck listening to the birds and watching the boats pass up and down Howe Sound while snow capped coastal mountains frame the posrcard backdrop, amazing! The suite has everything you need and is well laid out with impressive attention to the details: Comfy bed, proper linens, fluffy towels, premium soaps etc. We walked down to the village and it's a 30 minute peacefull walk down the road. Highly reccomened!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in such a beautiful space. The place is spotless and very well stocked. It is clear that Elidah and Ed have put a lot of love and care into their home. Our kids loved all of the nature and beach treasures and the wonderful selection of toys and books! Highly recommend. Thanks again!

Seascape is Awesome! The accommodations were clean and spacious with comfortable beds and living areas. The views were amazing and the outdoor areas packed with things to do and see. The hosts responded quickly and was very friendly and helpful. We absolutely enjoyed our stay and highly recommend this excellent space.

From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the stunning beauty of Lindsay's beachfront property. The location is truly unbeatable—nestled right on the coast, with breathtaking ocean views that can be enjoyed both inside and out. Inside, the property is just as impressive. It's thoughtfully decorated, immaculately clean, and equipped with everything you could possibly need for a comfortable stay. We will most definitely be back!

Wow, we really enjoyed our stay! The location is beautiful, and we loved the home (lots of room for our family to spread out). We also appreciated Brent’s recommendations for activities in the area. We would absolutely return for another visit!

What an amazing place. Twice as good as the photos. Beautiful house, very comfy. The garden leaves you speechless. Just sitting there watching the Bald Eagles is very special. The view is spectacular plus we saw Orca, sea lions, sea otter and a whale, all from the garden and we were only there 4 nights. Best place we have stayed.

We had an amazing time and would stay again. On several occasions the kids mentioned how calm this place felt. They don't ever say that, so that's something. The privacy and the sauna with a large deck for viewing etc is a plus. On the last day prior to leaving we had the pleasure of watching a bear cross the low tide plains. amazing
