Cottage vacation rentals in Duncan

We have stayed at this place a few times now and always enjoy our visit. It’s perfect for a big group, has a well stocked kitchen, a cozy fireplace and a wonderful hot tub with views of the beautiful yard. Will be back next year!

We had a wonderful stay at Willow Cottage! The cottage itself was so cozy and clean & the location close to the beach is amazing. It had everything we needed and more, and the hot tub & patio area was the cherry on top! Becky & Scott were welcoming, helpful hosts and we would definitely stay again in the future :)

What a fantastic place! From the view to the hot tub to the really great and well stocked space, we had an amazing stay here with everything that we needed. Even some toys for my toddler! This is a real gem and my only regret is that we didn’t stay longer. I could spend days sitting in the sun room or on the deck watching the wildlife and the view. We will definitely be back! Thanks Carol for a wonderful stay.

We had a family bday get together here. It was perfect, Hugh and Deb added a "Happy birthday" banner and cake in fridge, what a special extra touch! We had 3 fabulous nights and would highly recommend to anyone looking for a quiet spot in Nanaimo. Hot tub was super bonus!

Great location in beautiful Cowichan valley with access to great hiking (Cowichan bay estuary and Stony Hill were two favourites). Our house was in a quiet location with comfortable bed and furnishings and a private hot tub for an end of day soak. An excellent stay!

We had a wonderful stay at the little house - superb location, amazing host, thoughtful touches to the home and great communication. Pender is magical, and the stay made it perfect.

My dad and I enjoyed our stay at Sherry’s place! It was close for us to go back and forth to visit my grandma in Qualicum beach. My grandma was very impressed with the space as well. The hot tub was a nice treat. The place was very clean. Felt private for us to enjoy. Sherry was great to communicate with. I would stay again next time I’m out to visit grandma.

We absolutelly love this place! This was a second time and hoping to come back. Hist is amazing there was a power outage in the whole town and they showed up with some cake and wine! Power, no power it doesn’t matter. The Jacuzzi was hot, fire wood for the fireplace made the place warm and cozy and cooking on the propane bbq made the power outage a breeze :)

Very clean, great communication and we really loved the extra touches throughout the space. Lots of extra items that you may need throughout your stay. Very easy check-in! Was private and would be great in the summer with the nice big deck. Space wouldn’t be ideal for some. We were a group of five mid thirties women that luckily have been best friends since childhood. If you aren’t close with your party and all adults, I’d pick a different space. The only bathroom is off the only real bedroom. The upstairs open loft is the 2nd sleeping area and the two single beds are hard. Price does reflect this.

We stayed at Heather and Robs place for 3 nights and it was absolute bliss. It was great to be able to bring our dogs and be provided with pet bowls. The house was spacious and perfect for our family of 4. We spend 3 beautiful days on the beaches around the area and truly enjoyed every minute. This was not our first visit to Port Renfrew so we were prepared with food and drinks but as a heads up to anyone not familiar with the area, it is remote and there are not a lot of options to eat out in the off season. We did enjoy a couple meals at the pub but loved having the full kitchen to be able to prepare meals at the house. Highly recommend this place for a getaway. The view is breathtaking from the kitchen, living room and dining area. You could spend all day just watching the wildlife from the comfort of your Airbnb. Thanks so much, Heather and Rob!

beautiful get away and very kind quick to respond hosts, would go back for sure, for the bathroom alone. cheers kevan.

We stayed late March for a bit of spring break and the a lovely time. There was no one staying at the main cottage or the campground so we had the entire property to ourselves. It was very peaceful. The property is beautifully maintained with lots of space to explore. The seals were out everyday. Just a couple minutes drive form the grocery store. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed.

This won’t be surprising because it’s been said in every review. This place is amazing. To have an acre and a half of private, oceanfront property is rare. We loved everything. Sitting on the deck with a glass of wine listening to the waves come in was sublime. Corinne is for sure the quickest, friendliest, most generous host I’ve encountered through Airbnb. Bathrooms had great water pressure. When we had a little downtime, the TV was big and fantastic. The hikes around the area are just top notch. What people haven’t mentioned though is Corinne doesn’t have a lengthy ‘clean to do list’ for when you leave. I also think people are walking away from Airbnb’s due to price gouging. This place is crazy reasonable and I will come again! Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home with us!

This is an outstanding cottage with high levels of comfort. There is plenty of space including handy parking. I can highly recommend and Rachel is a fabulous host.

Definitely a 10/10. The cottage was immaculate and was equipped with all the amenities needed for our stay. It was cozy, warm, comfortable and quiet. In walking distance to Rathtrevor Beach and the Top Bridge Trail. Also, close to restaurants and stores if needed. We stayed 3 nights over the Thanksgiving weekend - October 2024

A Cozy Retreat in the Heart of Port Renfrew My stay at The French Girl's Lair was everything I hoped for and more. Nestled in a prime location, the cabin is the perfect spot for anyone looking to enjoy the natural beauty of Port Renfrew, especially if you're into fishing. The proximity to the water made our daily fishing trips incredibly convenient. While we didn't get to enjoy the firepit due to the fire ban during our stay, I can imagine how perfect it would have been to sit out on the spacious deck in the evening, surrounded by nature. Even without the fire, the deck was a great place to unwind after a day of exploring, with beautiful views and a peaceful atmosphere. The cabin itself is well-appointed and cozy, with all the amenities we needed to feel right at home. The kitchen was fully stocked, allowing us to prepare meals easily, and the living area was the perfect place to relax. The attention to detail in the cabin's design made our stay comfortable and enjoyable.

We found ourselves in town for a family service and Fiona was the utmost kind and supportive host we could have found. The space was absolutely perfect, spotless, serene, and comfortable. It was exactly as described and made a difficult trip much more easy, especially being by the beautiful ocean. We saw a ton of wildlife so the speed limits are absolutely necessary. Thank you Fiona, we will surely be back in the future.

It was such a chill and cozy spot. The only hiccup we had was with the neighbors. There were five of us just hanging out in the hot tub, chatting and laughing, with the music on at a VERY reasonable volume on a SATURDAY night. Apparently, that was too loud for them, and they even threatened to call the cops! But honestly, the staff handled it great, and it didn’t put a damper on our weekend at all. Besides that, everything went smoothly, and I really enjoyed my time there.

We were visiting the island to spend time with our son over the family day long weekend and had a wonderful stay. Such a cozy little cottage surrounded by natural beauty. Very well stocked kitchen and we immediately felt right at home. Lindsay

Enjoy the peace and tranquility this place has to offer. It was so relaxing to stare out at the wonderful bay and see otters play outside on the docks. I will always remember this place and will 100% come back to it. The host is wonderful and responsive and checked in on me various times to make sure we were enjoying our visit. I wish more hosts were like this! Cannot recommend this place any higher!

This is a beautiful cottage, very private up on a hill. The deer and rabbits come to visit everyday. View of the mountains and trees is lovely. The cottage has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The bed and couch are so relaxing. The kitchen is well set up for cooking. It is extremely clean and bright, tastefully decorated. Lovely sunsets from the porch and sunrise at the bedroom window. The location is perfect to explore Victoria yet close to the amazing Juan De Fuca trail. Lots of great hikes and beaches nearby. Would be happy to return another summer.

This is the second time our family has stayed at this cabin and we love it! Great location, amenities and easy communication with the hosts!

We loved our stay at the Hare Cottage! We loved how close it was to different trails like the galloping goose and other parks and hikes. The cottage was warm and cozy and had lots of wonderful touches like books, dvds, and games that made our stay extra comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked and the bed was very comfortable! Guy and Amber were excellent and thoughtful hosts. Thank you for a perfect weekend away!

We loved our stay here! The cabin is beautifully designed and so cozy with the fireplace and heated bathroom floors. We were able to prepare a great meal using the BBQ and kitchen essentials provided. There are some beautiful hikes in the area (Mystic beach!) and an amazing cafe, Shirley Delicious, is right at the top of the road to the cabin. This is the perfect place to unwind and relax, thank you so much Melodie!
