Gulf Islands vacation rentals

Lovely home, well appointed, excellent kitchen with everything we needed for preparing meals. The location is a 5 minute drive from beautiful Rathtrevor Beach. The tub is very deep so anyone with mobility problems may find it challenging.

Amazing stay in a beautiful part of the country. We loved our time in San Juan islands, and the stay was a big part of it. Perfectly located within a very short drive of town and the sights, while away from the noise and bustle. The care that has gone into this place is apparent throughout, from the furnishings, to the amenities, the beautiful grounds, and the most gracious, welcoming hosts. We went hiking, whale watching (Maya's adventures), and kayaking (Crystal seas kayking), while enjoying great food, beer (San Juan brewery) and wine (San Juan winery). We will definitely return to San Juan and seek out Chris's place. Highly recommended.

Excellent location in the middle of Eastsound. Easy walk to restaurants, shopping, etc. Our unit had a nice water view. Saw some otters and lots of birds. Binoculars provided in unit was a welcome touch. Very cosy, clean and comfortable. Our unit was on the second floor above retail that closed at 5 so no conflict between residential and retail use. Parking is a short walk away or on street and not a problem. There is a nice unloading zone when bringing bags in. We would definitely stay here again.

We had a relaxing stay at the cabin and enjoyed the peaceful pace of the island. My favorite part of our stay was the amazing wood fire sauna. Reg was such a nice host and made our stay very easy and pleasant. We will be back!

Everything with our stay was wonderful. It was so nice to be welcomed to our room with a couple of waters and pops in the fridge and snacks on the counter. That extra little gesture goes a long way as did the coffee station goodies for our mornings! The to-go cups were the bomb!! Will definitely be booking here again! Condo was clean, quiet, and comfy!

We had a lovely stay here to celebrate our birthdays. It was great to find an airbnb with 4 rooms and the hot tub with the view was so nice to have. We did a quick walk to the lighthouse, but the views in the house were great. The kitchen had everything we needed but we wished the dishwasher was bigger as we had 8 people staying. Not a deal breaker though and we would definitely stay here again! The host is very responsive and the place was very clean!

Pat's place is awesome. We, a family of four - two adults and two kids (one is at teen age and another one is younger), spent a great long weekend there. Bright, cozy condo with great view from almost any window. It fits all of us, has a nice kitchen with everything you need for your stay. Heated pool with a hot tub, which we and kids enjoyed, just downstairs. The Bay is very good for paddle boarding. We did twice over our stay. If tide is low, you can reach a tiny island where you can find lots of purple and orange sea stars, crabs, and oysters. Ladysmith and Nanaimo suggest great dinner options. Nanaimo also has a nice walkable Marina merging into Maffeo Sutton park. If you like hikes, we tried Extension Ridge Trail hike near Nanaimo and can strongly recommend it to anyone. Malahat Tower is a fun place to visit, just one hour of driving from "Inn of the Sea" resort, we've been there, and were not disappointed. Will definitely stay again at Pat's place.

Lynna and Dennis’s cottage was the single best airbnb experience we’ve had. The space is beautiful and cozy, and our hosts were infinitely kind and welcoming. There is so much to do on this property—it was a true “choose your own adventure” experience. It seemed like every day we discovered a new nook or cranny that Lynna and Dennis have put there to surprise and delight guests. We kayaked, explored the tide pools, lit the wood stove when it got chilly out, and had an all around wonderful time. Their recommendations for things to try around the island were spot on. (Check out the whale watch they suggest—we had a blast, and learned a lot about the region!) There is so much more to be done and enjoyed on this property and on Orcas than we could fit into four days, and we sincerely hope we’ll have the chance to return soon!

Wonderful cottage just on the edge of Rathtrevor. We had friends camping in the park and we didn’t want to camp with a toddler so this was the perfect solution. Pet friendly, private, quiet. Cottage had everything you’d need. Host was very responsive and helpful. Had high chair, pack and play, baby gate. Would stay again!
