Holiday rentals with a kayak in Vancouver Island

Really great place. Exceeded our expectations. Easy beach access, incredible views from the unit and just perfect in every way. Hosts were very attentive and communication was clear.

We had a lovely 2 days at Kevin’s place relaxing. The apartment has everything you could need to self cater and within easy reach of Tofino. Views of the shore at ow tide are wonderful if you like raptor spotting and the hot tub was a definite hit. Kevin was very helpful with lots of clear instructions.

Fantastic stay and delivered the solitude in nature that I was looking for. It was a great way to experience the San Juans. The view was stunning, the access to the beach was stellar, and one of the best ways to spend a few days relaxing. The loaner vehicle was perfect to get us from dock to house. Reminder, for anyone looking to book this airBNB, please be mindful of what you pack and bring as there is no store to quickly run to if you forgot something. Also, you need to pack out your recyclables & non-compostables. Overall, would stay again and have already recommended it to others as an Eco-friendly vacation destination.

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!

Had a lovely stay! Chris was great about attending to questions/issues we had. It was so quiet and peaceful… beautiful view and very spacious (actually had 4 bedrooms/4 baths, but tofino only allows 6ppl max to stay in an airbnb. I’d say that’s good info to have if you’re two couples and two singles!) We walked to Chesterman beach several times. Quick drive (8mins) into tofino! The kitchen was missing some things for the price point (I’d say it needs a bit of an update). We were glad to have brought our own knives, placemats, wine glasses. Left some measuring cups! Haha Make sure to bring your own blue tooth speaker, and if you’re into streaming, bring your own Apple TV or Chrome cast as the TVs are old and only have Netflix/amazon prime (note: you cannot screen mirror/airplay from your phone/tablet). We enjoyed both fireplaces! Thanks for a relaxing and peaceful stay!

The house is very comfortable and just as beautiful as the photos. The location is incredible - amazing views of the water, mountains, and big ships passing. It was so lovely to be able to just walk across the street and be on the beach with long walks possible in either direction. It was also really convenient for groceries and restaurants along 4th Ave, and an easy 15 minute drive to downtown and Stanley Island. We loved Vancouver and our stay in this beautiful home!

A beautiful and relaxing place. A few minutes from the city center but with the impression of being in the middle of the mountains in a very comfy spot. Thanks !

A beautiful retreat that makes you feel like you’re in your own world. Enjoy breathtaking views of the lake right from the couch or deck. We had quiet morning out on the deck with ducks and bald eagles fishing right in front of us. Hard to beat this place.

Great stay! Very small but quiet getaway location. Definitely can’t imagine staying in that space with more than 2 people. There was no coffee table which was where we were supposed to find extra linens so I’m not sure what happened but it was fine regardless. Everything was fairly clean, easy to find. Lots of spider webs all over the patio and furniture, but it’s nature. Would stay here again on a summer day.

What a wonderful place! The space was spotless and well stocked with bed linens, towels, and cozy couch blankets as well as a well stocked kitchen. Beds and pillows were super comfortable which matters a lot to us. Even though Dawn sent us links to many activities nearby we chose to enjoy the beautiful, peaceful and serene surroundings right outside the door. The sunsets were gorgeous and as our visit was a week before the Summer Solstice they lingered until well after 10:00 PM. We were lucky to spot a "rainbow" (nacreous) cloud while we were there too! Well worth the 4 1/2 hour drive from our home in Vancouver, WA. We'll definitely be back!

This was a wonderful setting for family connection. The expansive property gave the kids plenty of space to explore. We so enjoyed kayaking to Skull Island, many rounds of frisbee golf, hiking from the property to expansive views, and crabbing from the dock. The rental was exactly as advertised, and Dennis and Lynna were very thoughtful, responsive hosts.

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.

This place is a gem! We brought our four small children here (ages 2-7), and it was great for all of us. There were lots of toys and games for them plus non-breakable plates and glasses. We enjoyed relaxing with amazing views from the porch. The kayaks were lots of fun! Such a great, relaxing family vacation spot. Bob is a wonderful host, too! It felt like we stayed at a friend’s beach house.

We had a great time in the cottage of James! It was easy to find following his directions. We were welcomed by a stunning sunset, the First of several. We used the kitchen only once as there‘s also a BBQ on the deck of the cottage and some restaurants in the area James recommended. There’s a canoe one can use, unfortunately it was so windy we couldn‘t try it. To be honest we have not seen wildlife like whales from the cottage as June seems to be too Early for that, but there are several wildlife tours in the area and we have seen some grizzlys and others during those. The Area is Full of history about the First Nations and James provides next to games, books and binoculars for entertainment also some information about the history of the closer towns. We loved our stay and can only recommend it!!!

We had an incredible stay at this beautiful lake-side cottage. The place is right on the lake with amazing views. The interior is super cozy, with comfy couches and beds. It's one of those places where you immediately feel at home. Our hosts were incredibly responsive, kind, and helpful. We would love to come again!

Had a great time and would definitely come back to stay again!

This is such a special place! The Cabin is an authentic, traditional family cabin, with plenty of supplies for a comfortable stay, but the location right on the lake is something else! We loved using the boats, spotting wildlife, playing on the beach. Such a memorable place to be with our family. We were also grateful for the prompt communication from Don. Thanks again

Had a great time staying here for an Olympic Peninsula weekend. The proximity to Hurricane Ridge, Lake Crescent and Mt Storm King are unbeatable, but the real highlight were the amenities. the hottub, paddle boards, kayaks, and deck overlooking the lake were all spectacular. We had a question about where to park and Belle was helpful and responsive. Would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful location. Lee was flexible when we needed to check in later than planned. She gave us a helpful walk-through of where to find things to do on the property, such as the firepit, yard, hot tub, etc., and how to get to the beach. Very responsive and a comfortable place.

We had the pleasure of staying here and it was so worth it! We arrived at a squeaky clean cabin with amazing views. We had a great time paddle boarding, bbqing and relaxing in the hot tub. The previous guest broke the washer dryer so Ashley was kind enough to do our laundry for us. She's very responsive and very kind and we can't wait to come back and stay there again!

Our cabin stay was amazing! We loved waking up to beach sunrises and walking along the sand-all right outside our cabin! This home was extremely clean and was fully stocked for all of our needs. Also an amazing location if you are looking for an Olympic Nat. Park base! About 1 hour away from all of the amazing hikes and viewpoints. Harrison was kind and also left us fresh eggs from his chicken coop. Overall, our stay was amazing! Would love to come back again :).

Absolutely blissful! From coffee on the deck, early morning mist hanging over the mountains and geese going about their business, to wine in the hot tub at dusk with the bats darting above our heads, we could not have asked for a better experience. Our kids loved the loft and every creature comfort was thought of and provided for. The location, mid-range to some of the most beautiful places Olympic has to offer was perfect for day trips and in retrospect, I wish we’d stayed here for our whole trip. I hope someday we have the chance to come back to this little bit of heaven. Thank you so much!

This Airbnb could not have been more perfect and exactly what we were looking for! It’s right on Lake Sutherland and has the most magical views. The weather was amazing (late May) and we were visiting different parts of Olympic National Park everyday so this was the perfect spot to rest and recharge. Stuart was super responsive, flexible, and helpful! I will say there is a lot of stairs getting down to the property, which wasn’t a problem for us, but if someone has any kind of physical disability that’s just something to be aware of.

Incredible place to stay, pictures do not do it justice. My adult kids enjoyed the lake plunge / sauna experience. The stream / waterfall in the woods next to us were added bonus - we could here the water rushing down the hill into the lake which was awesome, esp at night. This was our home base for three days of hiking in ONP. You really feel like you have this 5000 acre lake to yourselves. We got to see the lake under both windy (white cap) conditions and perfectly still. Beautiful. We took full advantage of the kayaks, sauna, and gas grill (the extra propane tank was much appreciated and needed!) The views are impossible to describe - they are incredible. The accommodations are adequate - it is a smallish place - a true vintage lake cabin. Holly is responsive and friendly. My family won't soon forget this one.
