Home away from home in Gibsons
Stephanie and Rory were great hosts and extremely accommodating. Great location and very peaceful.

Marshmeadow Farm Guesthouse
Wanda's place is beautiful and peaceful. It feels like a private getaway - highly recommended! Well equipped for dogs (and people, of course). Comfortable bed and furniture and the kitchen has everything you need. Lovely little porch to sit on in the property. Both Wanda and her dog are friendly and wonderful. We hope to come back!!

Luxury “Eagle Nest” Retreat with A/C
Fantastic stay! The place was clean, cozy, and exactly as described. Great location and thoughtful touches throughout. The host was super responsive and helpful. Would definitely stay again, highly recommend!

Trillium Park Place
Spacious, clean, comfortable! I had such a much needed deep sleep! Beautiful location, peaceful. I would definitely stay here again!

Private, large 2br suite near transportation hubs.
Bill and Shelley’s place is one of the most well stocked and welcoming places we’ve stayed. We planned to stay for a month to be close to the hospital whilst we waited for our baby to arrive and they had everything we could have ever needed for a long time stay. They left us a lovely note and some goodies and the suite felt just like home. The location is super quiet and private and their back garden is beautiful. Bill and Shelley were also very responsive and very accommodating when we had to cut our stay significantly due to baby arriving early. First class accommodation and hosts!

Adorable studio with free parking
Great place and reasonable price. Large space and pets welcome.

Maple Sunshine Oceanfront Upper Cottage
Our long weekend was absolutely outstanding! The location was stellar and we saw jumping fish, herons, and seals daily. The kitchen had everything we needed to make some delicious meals and we felt right at home. It was a rainy weekend but the home had games and a beautiful wood fireplace to keep us warm. Absolutely nothing to complain about. Our daughter had her first sleep in a “big girl bed” at your house, and our dog slept soundly on the floor beside her. We had the best sleep of our lives with the window cracked and the sound of the ocean. We will definitely be back!

Gold 'n Green Cottage
This was a fabulous rental, it was perfect in every way. Every step of this booking was just a great experience, the host was so friendly and fun to chat with and thought of everything a traveller might need. All of the instructions were clear and well thought out, everything was as expected if not better, the place was spotlessly clean and everything was provided for. Couldn’t recommend this place enough, I hope we will get a chance to enjoy your hospitality again, it made for such an enjoyable trip! Thank you so much!

Breathtaking Oceanfront Condo
Can’t say enough about our stay!! The condo is a hidden gem with great amenities and comfy beds!! We absolutely loved everything and hope to return soon!

A nice 1 bedroom apartment close to all amenities
We really enjoyed our stay here and plan on making it a regular stop when visiting family. Karen was very responsive and thoughtful in ensuring we had everything we needed and offered extra help. The unit was spacious and well appointed. We wanted for nothing and the bed provided one of the best sleeps we had had in awhile. Despite the location over the carwash it never caused a concern or noise issue and the big windows provided a view of the trees and sea. We even got to enjoy morning coffee on the deck one day. Thank you Karen for this great unit.

Spectacular waterfront 1BR suite
INCREDIBLE VIEWS!!! I spent 2 and a 1/2 weeks at Rebecca's beautiful, fully equipped guest suite. Close to so many beaches, stores and restaurants, yet felt far from hustle and bustle. Spent many hours having morning coffee or evening drinks in front of the huge picture windows, watching the ever changing sky and scenery, seals, eagles, mountains, even a submarine on a training mission! For me, the bonus was the deep bathtub, love having a relaxing tubby. Rebecca was fantastic, was always quick to respond to any questions I had, yet gave me the privacy and peace and quiet I needed. I highly recommend Rebecca's suite!

Bright and spacious 1 bed suite
A very nice and cozy place with everything you need. Perfect for students / staff working at the hospital as well as it is very close.

Bamboo Palace
My mum and I were at a meeting at the Vancouver Island Conference Centre, and JoAnn’s place was perfect. It was near enough to be accessible, but far enough to give us a break at the end of the day. JoAnn’s garden is also lovely, and it was refreshing to come home to greenery at the end of the day. The suite is both spacious and cosy, and was beautifully cool in warm weather. Can recommend!

The Wetlands Suite at Inn The Estuary
The Wetlands Suite, Inn The Estuary - Spectacular, Phenomenal, Wow are words that cannot express the beauty of this property. An immersive experience with nature. The artistry of the landscaping is thoughtfully considered with each rock, plant, and tree placed with purpose to provide a magical and natural place for rest and to recharge. Harold's inspired restoration has created a place in nature that calms the mind. The interior of the Suite continues the Wow upon opening the front door. Exceptionally large windows to draw your gaze out to explore the vast beauty of the wetlands. Perfectly situated furniture to marvel the great outdoors. Additionally, a private patio area to be wrapped in nature with bird songs through the day and frog calls at night. Simply, relaxing. We are thankful for the generosity of Harold, Marianne & Angela to share this space with us, and with others. A true treasure to be enjoyed, to relax, to calm. We will definitely visit again and recommend.

Haven By The Sea - 1BDRM Ocean Front - New Reno AC
We had a wonderful stay at Randy and Barb’s condo. The condo was very clean, tasteful and roomy. It was equipped with everything we needed!! The resort had many desirable amenities including exercise room, pool and a good restaurant and lounge. We communicated with Randy a few times and he was always responsive, prompt and helpful. It was very apparent that the quality of our stay was very important to Randy and Barb. We really appreciated that. We highly recommend this listing!!

Waterfront studio with amazing view!
The stay at Jason's was peaceful and refreshing. It's a beautiful spot and nice and clean.

An Elegant Rural Retreat in Deep Bay
Cecily’s place is so beautiful! Its matches the description, she is super proactive and left us clear instructions on how to check-in and what to do. It’s easy to get to amazing places like Hornby and Denmen Island for her place.

Unit 2 3bdrm Daily and Monthly Rates Available
We had a great stay. Karen replied to messages very quickly. The place was bigger than expected. The rooms are very sound proof - we had 2 infants in seperate rooms and their screaming couldn't be heard outside the bedroom they were in. The place was so thoughtfully stocked with little finishing touches throughout. Outside of the home the location was great - just steps from the beach and minutes away from the playground. Would definitely stay here again!

Peaceful Forest apartment close to ferry/beaches
It was a very pleasant stay. Woke up to dear roaming around, super cool. Michelle is very responsive and the home is super cozy!

Nanaimo private suite
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!

Lower Gibsons Suite
We had a lovely weekend in lower Gibsons at Tess’s place. The place had everything we needed for a weekend getaway. It is a small suite so I think just perfect for a couple. We love to be able to bring our dogs along too

Seaspray Suite - Qualicum Beach Villa
This was a comfortable, lovely space. It is right on the beach. It was easy to access and we let ourselves in and checked out. Clean, comfortable and a great vacation getaway.

Fairwinds Residences # 209 | Garden View - Pet Ok
The 2 bedroom condo was accurately described and matched the description in the listings. It was well furnished and sufficiently stocked with the basics to make meals at home. About 30 minutes from Nanaimo and 15 minutes to Parksville, it is in a fairly central location to explore the Island. The check-in process was stress-free and extremely straightforward: enter lobby, enter your suite. For those booking, just choose your suite carefully. The water view faces the marina, and the garden view gets you a parking lot view. We saved $200 by choosing the parking lot view but that afforded us easy access to our car from our walk out garden area... for those with families, we appreciated the easy access to the car and the money savings over the better views. What's not really mentioned is how spacious the suite is and how vaulted the ceilings are, like 12 or 15'+. This is easily the best Airbnb condo suite that we've booked. A+++ excellent suite and great value!

Stay by the Lake Nanaimo
Great place to stay, beautiful location, perfect for walking your fur baby, safe neighbour hood, relaxing balcony with a great view, simply wonderful experience!
