Guest house holiday rentals in Vancouver Island

We had a wonderful stay. Billie was friendly and approachable, and so wonderful. We enjoy the clean and comfortable place, and swimming pool. The place was very close from the main shopping/restaurants area and it made our stay very enjoyable. Thank you for everything Billie!

Perfect spot for a nights stay on Bowen. Very quaint little cottage equipped with all you need for the night. Comfy linens, great coffee set up and a nice little gas fireplace on the deck. Shared bathroom with the main house which is made very comfortable. 2 very cute chickens and some kitty’s. Catherine is responsive and accommodating.

Very peaceful stay with stunning waterfront views and visiting deer, making every moment special. The welcoming snacks, firewood, and 'treasures' for our son to find added a great personal touch. With amenities just a short drive away, we wholeheartedly recommend this wonderful property.

We had a lovely stay at James and Naomi’s place! We spent our time playing records, dancing, and enjoying a few rounds of Scrabble. The loft is cozy and peaceful, with a great selection of board games—perfect for a rainy day. Would definitely recommend staying here!

We loved our stay here so much that we extended our trip a few more days! Great spot, friendly hosts, spacious and beautiful accommodations, and easy checkout when we sadly left. Julie went above and beyond to help us solve a problem we had before we even got there. The list of recommendations for things to do and places to dine was perfect. They even let us raid their strawberry patch! Lovely, lovely place!

We had a lovely last minute get away to Om Sweet Om. Really comfy bed with hotel style linens, fab hot tub and secluded space. Fan was really great addition as warm when we stayed. Sharon was welcoming over messages and lots of helpful tips for hikes and restaurants 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.

Stayed for one night. Very easy check in, host responded quickly to messages, clean and quiet area.

Visited with my wife and parents.Very well appointed, especially in the kitchen, which as a chef I appreciated as I cooked both nights. Beds were comfortable and everything was very clean. Only drawback is road noise when in living/dining area as it is close to the highway. Road noise not really noticeable in bedrooms. Friendly people. Would stay again

Jenny and Doug’s cabin was truly magical! Our 3-year-old thought it was her own club house! Seeing the view from the kitchen and living room was delightful. We saw many deer! The bedroom was so cozy with lots of blankets. Everything was perfectly laid out with lots of thoughtful storage space to store items. It had a nice roomy kitchen and Jenny leaving some food items (milk, eggs, bread, a baked good, tonic water etc.) to get us through the night and morning was so thoughtful and really helped! We loved the BBQ and deck to have our family meals on. The front yard was a lovely additional space for us to hangout in. As others have mentioned, Jenny’s baked items hand delivered every morning was so lovely and delicious!! The cabin is located near the main village so it was easy and fast to get to and from the ferry dock.

The cottage was perfect for our family. It was extremely clean, located in a private garden setting and close to the off-street bike trail to downtown. We loved it. We would stay again!

Went for a day trip to Bowen island and decided to spend the night and Candice’s place was perfect! Beautiful and clean inside and the prettiest view from the balcony. Would definitely stay here again.

My girlfriend and I wanted to book a getaway to unwind and this was the perfect spot for a peaceful and romantic weekend. We enjoyed breakfast/coffee on the deck each morning. This cottage had amazing views of the water and has a cozy, modern vibe. Jim is a great host. He gave us great recommendations for hikes and food. Don’t miss the koi pond—it’s absolutely beautiful. His property is so serene and calming, you'll instantly feel relaxed. One of the best Airbnb experiences, will definitely be back!

This was a wonderful place to stay while visiting Victoria! It was private and a bit out of the hubbub which is what we were desiring. The guesthouse was clean and comfy. We felt very relaxed each time we came back. Tim and Emi were so kind and their dog was the sweetest! We had a wonderful time!

Stewart's laneway was perfect for my husband and I and our dog. Being from the city, we loved the fenced yard and being able to leave the door open. The bed was super comfy and the bathroom was a great size. We especially enjoyed being able to walk to the main street in 5 min and the quiet neighborhood to walk our dog. Thank you for the great stay!

Kirsten's cabin is wonderful. A quiet and peaceful retreat that makes you forget just how close you are to the busy city. The central location on the Island makes for quick access to all parts of the Island making it easy to explore. Kirsten's communication was awesome and her recommendations on things to see and do was greatly appreciated. The cabin came well equipped with everything described. We look forward to returning!

Had a lovely stay at Lise's place. Private, quiet and peaceful. Has everything you need plus some, with breathtaking views and pristine landscape. Lise is an amazing and accommodating host that greets you with wonderful homemade baking.

We had a wonderful stay, and would definitely stay again. You can’t beat the location, right on the water, and very private. Even though there is a private dwelling upstairs, we didn’t hear or see anyone else during our stay. Loved that there were kayaks and paddle boards to use. Hot tub was a bonus, although we felt the weather was too hot to use it. Everything was perfect! Thanks for a great stay!

Leland was very kind and super responsive! The residence was spotless and welcoming!

This is our second visit to Bowen Island and have stayed here both times and will certainly return. Margit is so considerate, accommodating and friendly. The cottage is comfortable, clean and spacious with a beautiful view of the water through the trees and oh so quiet.

Had a great stay here! was a nice quiet place to lay our heads and recharge after a day out. very clean, had great amenities and was just nice and cozy! would recommend to stay here and would gladly come back ☺️

Lovely lovely cabin!! We had such an amazing trip here- can’t recommend enough. Sauna is awesome, location is cool in the middle of the woods with humming birds, eagles, ravens on your doorstep. Hopefully you’ll be smarter than I and bring mosquito spray too (and there’s some left in the cupboard for emergencies!). Really enjoyed listening to some pretty questionable records, cooking in the pretty well equipped kitchen, and dining outside We ran out of propane so couldn’t watch the stars the second night but Ganges town isn’t too far away by car to nip out in emergencies.

I had another reservation that fell through at the last minute, so finding this place was a real gift. I was looking for a place to spend some reflective alone time with an ocean view and a deck, and this was more than I was hoping for! The cabin was small, but cozy, and being able to open the doors to the beach while still being curled up inside was ideal. The bed was comfortable and the decor matched the beach vibe. The kitchen had everything I needed to be comfortable. I wish I could have stayed longer.

If you want to explore the West Coast, Whistler, Grouse Mountain, restaurants, downtown Vancouver and mush much more! This is the perfect location! Maret and Lyle were wonderful hosts! Very helpful with tips on getting around and exploring! We will definitely miss this piece of paradise! Thanks for sharing!
