Pet-friendly vacation rentals in Howe Sound

We had a great time, Donna’s place was exactly what we needed as a home base while we explored the area. Our area of the house was perfectly comfortable for the 3 of us, and well equipped for our visit. Thank you so much!

Ingrid and Marc's as hosts have gone above and beyond with all the amenities you will need for your stay. Bench 170 as a home is also beautifully designed and incredibly livable. I would love to stay at Bench 170 again and would highly recommend it!

We absolutely enjoyed the home. The place was spotless, cozy and had everything we need for a comfortable visit. The location was perfect for exploring the area.Eddie and Heather are friendly and responsive. I’d definitely recommend staying here and would love to come back again next time 😊

This place was huge and accommodated all 6 of us comfortably. There is a Jack and Jill half bath connected to two of the rooms, a full bath in one of the bedrooms, another full bath upstairs by the bedrooms and a half bath on the first level. Sunny was a great host and very responsive. As mentioned in other reviews, the house is a little dated but I believe he’s working on getting it updated. We did find a half full white claw can in the window in the dining area, assuming from the prior vacationers, but nothing extreme in the way of cleanliness. The floors and stairs can be a bit slippery if only wearing socks, so please be careful!! All in all, this was a great house and location!

Very clean and comfortable. Location was central to our activity so it worked well for us. Would definitely recommend and we will say there again when in the area next.

We had a great stay. The place was perfect for our visit being close to friends, family and the city. Our dog was very comfortable there while on his first big trip.

Everything was amazing and exactly as it looks in the description and photos! Would highly recommend and would definitely stay here again. Ramona was very helpful and accommodating and made sure we had everything we needed.

We loved staying at Dave’s Central location perfect for Nanaimo adventures, and super close to the ferry We’d love to get back some day!

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!

The Airbnb was a great spot to stay. Me and my friend needed a place to stay for the weekend in Vancouver and Cindy made us feel welcomed as if it’s our own home. She was a great host, very easy to communicate with, and cares for her guests. I arrived earlier than my check in, and Cindy made sure to help accommodate me with whatever I needed. The host in all in all was great. The Airbnb was a great place to stay at, beautiful view. Was in downtown which made everything walkable. Airbnb is very clean and fitting for families who are visiting that need a place. Overall a beautiful Airbnb that’s affordable and amazing host I don’t see a reason why you shouldn’t book it if you are thinking about it. Thanks Cindy once again!

Excellent location and place to stay. I will came back again this summer. Everything 5 stars. Thank you.

Lillian was wonderful with our check in, we ran into some issues at home and ended up having to leave late , she was attentive and made the process very smooth. The space is great if you are in town to go to an event, we were here for a hockey game with our teenage boys and the space was very comfortable for the 5 of us. The kitchen is very limited so if you’re a big cook you may run into some shortages but other then that it was a lovely stay and reasonably clean. The view is absolutely stunning especially at night! The beds were comfortable and there were tons of pillow options along with extra blankets if needed. I highly recommend Lillian’s place, and for the very convenient location the price over all wasn’t bad. Bonus to be right at a skytrain station made going out and exploring great we were able to leave our vehicle in the secure parking and not worry about transportation! Thanks Lillian !

Spotlessly clean. Fantastic apartment for our family of 5. Amazing location right next to the sky train and Rogers Arena (highly recommend going to see an ice hockey game!). Supermarket just round the corner. Lovely views, the apartment has everything you need and we made good use of the swimming pool and hot tub which is really big. Overall we had a fantastic stay and the host was very responsive.

This is a great spot for inter-generational families because the layout of living areas and bedrooms allows everyone to to be separate or together as they choose. We loved the quirkiness combined with the lovely modern bathrooms. And the property surrounding the house is so much fun to explore. It is a great family house and all the kids loved the pool and water slide. We have already decided to come back next year.

We had a great stay at Bill’s! It’s a basement suite but because it’s a walk out it’s super sunny and bright. We pretty much never heard any noise from upstairs. The internet speed is fantastic if, like us, you work remotely (1gbps up and down at the time of this review). We had our dog with us and Indy had a great time playing in the yarn with Bill’s dog Oli. Bill is such a nice guy and we had really nice chats whenever we’d run into one another. The house and suite are also brand new and in a beautiful part of Nanaimo — we would highly recommend staying here!

This is the third time that we’ve been back to the condos and I’m sure we’ll keep visiting in the future. Besides just how amazing the property and surroundings are, our condo came exactly as advertised. Perfect place for my family and dogs to spend a week. The condo was perfectly clean and we had everything that we needed. Definitely recommended!

Stephen’s place was a fantastic stay! It was clean, cozy, and easy to find. The property had everything you could need for a comfortable visit. It’s also pet-friendly, which was perfect—my dog was happy and loved having a yard to play in. Great value and highly recommended!

Amazing stay! Small cute space in a very quiet neighborhood! Loved the bath house. Would recommend for a couple looking to get out of the city for a quiet weekend get away!

Wonderful suite on the lower level of a character house in East Van. Quick, kind communication.. clean thoughtful space, beautiful little patio zone.. super close to everything on Commercial Drive and just down the road from a fantastic park (open green space, community gardens, tennis courts with views of the mountains!) Mieke was kind to let me check out late as they didn’t have someone arriving today which made my travel much smoother. I’d stay again in a heartbeat. You can hear the family upstairs from time to time but even less than I expected. Bed seemed very new - firm but comfy - having laundry is always a bonus. Loved it all. Thanks!

Great spot and location. Easy to find local places to eat at or to just head into downtown

Wonderful home, pleasant host and great location. It was exactly what we were looking for!

My husband and I wanted a cozy idyllic place for a getaway. Jenny's place is beautiful, well taken care of, clean, and has lots to offer. Everything is clean and tidy. The hottub and real fire pit were cozy. The deck was lovely to spend time on while chatting, playing a card game, or drinking coffee with the propane fire pit in the morning. It has huge variety of seating arrangements outdoors which makes it very homey. We were entertained by two hummingbirds who enjoyed zipping back and forth to the feeder by the porch. It made for a relaxing time. Walking through a couple of local trails through the moss forest beside the river was the true definition of forest bathing. Just incredible. We would 10/10 recommend this to friends and family. We hope to return in the near future!

We had an absolutely great stay! Eva was super helpful and kind. She gave us a ton of local recommendations for the pups and us. The space was cozy and met all our needs! Would definitely stay again!

Had a great girls' trip here over the weekend! The space was private and spacious, with a remote farm feel while still being close to town. Equipped with games and DVDs that made the rainy days more entertaining and cozy. The hosts were very responsive and gave us a tour of the farm!
