Suite View, 1 BR apartment near Pt. Townsend
Christine’s place is centrally coated to Port Hadlock. There’s a grocery store, farmers raker and severa nice restaurants nearby. The view from the apartment is incredibly beautiful. I felt Ike I was in a park and never turned the television on as the view was too stunning to avoid. The kitchen was very well stocked with Al the basics needed for cooking a meal and the apartment is spotless. I wil book here again in the future when I am in Port Hadlock. Honestly one of the most well stocked and thoughtful AirBnb’s I’ve ever stayed at.

Apartment on the dock in Cowichan Bay
Astrid and Stephen’s place in the marina was an absolute gem. When we first arrived, we were greeted by a friendly neighbour who so happened to be Stephen who showed us to our unit, and helped us check in. Though it rained for much of our visit, the views were still stunning—peaceful, calming, and a perfect escape. The home itself was pristine and full of charm, clearly cared for with thought and love. Every little detail made it feel like a true retreat. We flew in for my son’s hockey playoffs, and the location couldn’t have been better—an easy and scenic trip to and from the arena. In fact, we loved it so much that we added two extra nights to our stay instead of touring to Victoria. No regrets! The local touches were a highlight—morning walks for fresh sourdough bread from Grain, amazing local wines at nearby restaurants that we walked to for a few lunches, dinners and a stop for some delicious tubs of local ice cream that we stocked up on! Grateful.

Discovery Way Waterview
This place was fantastic. It was so hard to leave, even after three nights. The lodging decor is cozy, very comfortable with lots of nice seating options and has all that you need. Enjoyed making meals in the ample kitchen (oil & a few seasonings) and watching the wind and water through the wall-to-wall windows. For those with mobility concerns, there are five gradual gravel steps down to your entry door (it's on the lowest floor of an occupied 3-story home) and a short gradual gravel slope down the driveway and along side of house to get down to the very private lower section of the property. Your lower water-view yard is very private with a picnic table for a peaceful outdoor lunch with a view. Loved Betsy's tea and coffee options, the banana muffins and homemade bread were delightful. Quiet lodging with minimal walking sounds from above. Open communication was prompt and check-in/out was easy. I can't wait to return with my sweetie. This was an AirBnB favorite, for sure.

Beautiful Apartment Best Area Downtown Vancouver
We stayed for 9 nights and it was exactly what we were expecting in a city stay. The apartment had all the basics, there’s a grocery store less than one block away, the amenities were great, and the neighborhood felt quite safe too. Parking was secure but tight for my mid-sized truck but that’s to be expected in a parkade. Many thanks!

Salt Spring Waterfront
Magical!! Even more beautiful than the photos. The place was exceptionally clean and hosts very responsive. Communication excellent. I would love to come back here and just sit and enjoy the view some more.

Modern DT Yaletown Condo 2B2BA•Parking•Sleeps 6•AC
Easy access to the heart of dt Vancouver. If you’re going over for an event or conference then this location will be perfect. Easy instructions with secure parking, you’ll be happy you’ve stayed here.

Comfortable Studio across the street from the beac
I had a peaceful night sleep The weather was not good during my stay too much rain But the cozy little studio apartment was fine .

Spectacular oceanview 2 bedroom in boutique hotel
A wonderful stay in an absolutely stunning location! The photos and description are perfectly accurate, and the place is wonderful to spread out relax or use as a homebase while visiting Sidney. Both bedrooms and bathrooms are spacious and stocked full of amenities, and the kitchen is very functional with a great open room and beautiful balcony overlooking the water. Victoria is about a 25 minutes drive away (depending on traffic) but the suite is close to many amenities including stores, restaurants, the Victoria Airport and the ferries to Vancouver. Highly recommend and would stay here again.

Seafront Beach House - Hot tub, Landscaped Grounds
One of my favorite places on earth!! We’ve been to Gudrun’s twice now and it’s just lovely 😊 couldn’t recommend her place enough!

Incredible views! Waterfront family beach house
A hush drapes soft on ocean’s grace, Where sky and sea in silence meet. The pines stand still in calm embrace, Their shadows lapping at the peat. No voice but gulls in distant flight, No sound but tide’s eternal hum— A breath between the day and night, Where every thought and worry’s numb. Here peace arrives without a name, And time forgets its claim to run. The world, once wild, is soft and tame— Beneath the clouds, beneath the sun. Peace is what the soul needs. I wrote that to describe this place. The lovely setting on a small bay, watching the resident eagle, seeing otters feed and play in the bay. A little early for some seasonal things, but the tranquility is exactly what we needed. Thank you for sharing such a wonderful setting.

Waterfront w/ Beach, Hot Tub, Kayak, Paddle board
We loved our stay. Very relaxing. Beautiful view. Right on the water. Clean. Peaceful. There was a bottle of wine and coffee provided which was a nice touch. Hot tub was a good temperature, jets weren’t that strong. Only one small bathroom located on top floor but it is clean and functional. Small spiral stair case to get downstairs to one of the main bedrooms might be difficult for people with mobility issues. I recently had a knee surgery so chose to take the upstairs room which was smaller and a smaller bed. There are also some stairs to get to the house from the street. Overall, a wonderful short stay and would definitely stay again.

Whidbey Island No-Bank Waterfront Beach House
Loved our stay here with our friends. The backyard with the hot tub, fire pit and beach make this place an incredible stay. Love the layout of the kitchen and dining upstairs and the tv/family space downstairs. Would love to stay again soon!

Blue Ribbon Beach House
This was my second time staying here, last time was in 2018, and it was just as amazing this time around. Everything was just as described and even better than the pictures. The house is so clean, cozy, and well provisioned. You can tell Emily really takes great care of this place. I would absolutely stay here again!

Sunset house beachfront bungalow
Words cannot describe how special this place is. We were lucky enough to stay for almost a month, and the house and beach just kept on giving. The space has an incredible view out to the Salish sea, and we watched a parade of herons, bald eagles, and numerous other seabirds from the front deck. The house is equipped with everything you need and more, full of whimsy and fun art supplies, games, the best blankets and comforters ever, and two cozy fireplaces. The photos do not do the house justice; it's huge and modern, open plan, but with lots of private sitting spaces. Dawn and Zach are the kindest, most wonderful hosts. There's a reason the Sunset house has hundreds of rave reviews. If you have a chance to book it, don't hesitate.

Charming 4br gated waterfront estate with beach.
We truly loved our stay in the beautiful, secluded location. It couldn’t have gone any better. Don & Kathy are wonderful hosts and made us feel right home.

Waterfront Beach House, pet friendly, with mooring
The house had great accommodations and it being right on the water was absolutely perfect. It was so peaceful and serene, wish we could have stayed longer.

Bella Vista Suite - Beach Front Getaway
Loved this location and walking in Seal Bay Park next door. Nice to hear ocean at night. Peaceful, pretty inside, comfortable, and lots of tools for the kitchen which was great. Overall, great spot!

Breathtaking view with swimming pool-BlueMoon Stay
Very lovely, clean place! Beautiful view and convenient location. The host was responsive and gave very clear instructions for everything. I hope to stay again!

Beachfront Walk-out in the Heart
From the moment I walked in I already couldn’t wait to come back. The view was beautiful, and the space was spacious yet cozy. Being October it was a bit cooler in Qualicum, but with the electric fireplace and baseboard heaters I didn’t feel it inside! The kitchen had so many little touches that felt thoughtful, from drinks in the fridge, spices in the cupboard, and all the utensils and pans to cook a meal in. Barry was proactive with messaging and very responsive when I had a question ahead of my stay. A perfect weekend getaway!

Central Downtown Vancouver Condo w/ Amazing Views
Angie was great, she's very responsive and helpful, her instructions were on point. The unit had a great view of False Creek and Science World. Rogers Arena is across the street, BC Place is a few blocks away.

Beach Get Away
Above and beyond our expectations, attention to detail & made our visit so comfortable ! They were always present to our needs & felt at home! An excellent vaycay!! We give it a 5 plus stars!!!

50ft. from the Ocean - Spectacular!
Place was gorgeous, Iris was a sweet and responsive host. We will be back again 100%

A Celebration in View condo 2 K 1 Q with Hot Tub
We really enjoyed our stay! Loved that from one balcony we had a river view and the other a view of the bay. The home was comfortable and cozy for our family. Beds had nice, soft (and clean!) sheets, comfortable mattresses as well. Short walk to beach access and coffee shop which was a plus as well.

SUNSET CONDO AT MADRONA BEACH
It was great staying with Marlyn and Timm. I'll definitely be back to enjoy their beautiful location again! They were very hospitable hosts and made me feel right at home. Thank you!
