Nautical Dream Home w/ Expansive Harbour Views
Absolutely Stunning! Stayed here over Christmas and could not have asked for a better spot! Beautiful views, very comfortable surroundings. The beds were very comfortable and more than enough lovely thick towels. Kitchen was well stocked with everything you could need. The location was perfect! You are no more than a 5 min walk from everything! All the shops and restaurants are so close! It’s a really great place to stay, we will definitely be back

Oceanfront Home - Central Parksville
Very clean and tidy, exactly as described. Responsive and helpful host, beautiful view, and enjoyed the various birds and deer. Highly recommend!!

Nanoose Bay Oceanfront Vacation
Awesome location with a great home! Well-appointed, everything you could possibly need for a great stay on Nanoose Bay. Great sunrise location, supreme views , the forward deck and “hut” are such a great touch. Kayaks for use and a great location 10 mins from shopping and restaurants. Quiet, peaceful oceanfront neighborhood with unbelievable landscaping. Eagles and sea lions right outside the door.

OCEAN FRONT/BEACH Private House
We had such a wonderful stay at Mason's. It was a perfect spot for out ladies weekend. It's a beautiful property and we enjoyed many delicious meals and laughs on the deck. The space was spotless! We are talking about booking it again next year.

Galiano Island Home by the Sea
This was a wonderful place to stay and it was hard to leave! The house itself was comfortable, clean and had everything we needed to cook meals for the six of us. The views from all of the rooms were spectacular of the ocean, boats, birds and sea lions. There were thoughtfully placed chairs outside to enjoy the scenery and sunsets. The wifi was good and meant that one of our sons could work during part of our stay. This house felt like home and was in such a peaceful and beautiful location. Paul was an excellent host and was friendly and responsive to any questions we had. We would stay here again and highly recommend it.

Oceanfront Getaway-Designer's Home
This was a magical experience. Hot tub by the water surrounded by gorgeous flowers. Cozy and rejuvenating!

Tea by the Sea
Janet’s place was more than what I expected. My brother and his wife was visiting us and we were having our first trip to Sunshine Coast, and her accommodation really completed it all. It was perfect, clean , and she was so friendly. Definitely would visit again. Thank you Janet !

Renée's Oasis, Massage and SPA
Renée was very accommodating and thoughtful in preparing for her guests. Her home is very homey and has a real cottage feel. The fireplace and instruments made us feel right at home. All rooms open onto the deck, and you can also see bits of the bay through the trees. The jets on the swim spa are adjustable, and the higher setting has a fabulous strong pressure. The lid is easy to raise and lower. There is a sauna in the yard as well as patio furniture under a gazebo. You can sit out here or on the deck in the rain. The house and yard are private if you rent the entire home. If you only rent 1 room, expect to share the bathroom & common areas. She has some options worth considering - a specially prepared meal, as well as e-bike / regular bike rental. There is a massage studio on the property as well. Renée has a broad variety of services on offer which is very convenient for her guests. This is truly a lovely spa get-away. We would have liked to have stayed longer.

Oceanside Escapes
Our family of four found this home very comfortable and loved our stay. Our hosts ensured that everything was 5 star! The home is well stocked with a variety of items, very comfortable beds, clean and in a perfect location. We will be returning.

Peaceful, immaculate and fully-equipped!
This was an amazing place to stay, it was very quiet and peaceful and a very short walk away from the beach. Judy was a great host, very friendly and responsive. I would definitely stay here again.

2 bedroom townhome Oceanview
We stayed here with our 2 year old son and in-laws, plenty of space for us. Beach is walkable, it’s a nice stroll along the rocks to get to the sandy beach during low tide. It was a nice touch to have snacks and sparkling water available as a welcome gift. I would recommend.

Oceanfront Paradise in Bowser, BC
This is an amazing house the views over the water were spell binding and the provision of good binoculars meant that we spent a lot of time watching the seals swim by. The house is set up for entertaining big groups with a large breakfast bar and lovely deck, again the views are incredible. One of the best Airbnb houses to stay in and such a good place to explore Bowser and this area of the Island

Ocean & Rockies mountain view from The Tower House
This place is amazing!! It is located in a quiet neighborhood with astonishing view of the ocean from balcony. It has plenty of rooms and beds. We were a group of 13 people and everyone loved this location. There is a backyard that we played badminton there. We had a blast and already planned to go back there soon. The host was responsive and answered our questions quickly.

Modern 4-bedroom house with Ocean view
We had a lovely stay! The home was perfect for a little group getaway—clean, spacious, and well-equipped with everything we needed. The kitchen was especially well stocked, which made meals easy and fun to prepare. The view from the home was beautiful, and the natural light throughout was a bonus. It's set on a hill, so while the walk to town is short, it is steep—just something to keep in mind.

Unique Coastal Home
Clint was excellent and looked after us really well! Nice large home

ocean breeze family retreat
Joseph was extremely helpful and the location was phenomenal! Would love to stay again!

Family Bungalow A/C | Big Yard | Steps to Beach!
We had an absolutely wonderful five-night stay at Lindsey’s Family Bungalow! The location was perfect — just steps from the beach — and the big yard was ideal for our one-year-old to safely explore and play. The bungalow was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything we needed. Bryan was an exceptional co-host, providing quick and helpful communication throughout. We felt right at home. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a relaxing, family-friendly beach getaway!

Sunset Ocean Place
From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the stunning beauty of Lindsay's beachfront property. The location is truly unbeatable—nestled right on the coast, with breathtaking ocean views that can be enjoyed both inside and out. Inside, the property is just as impressive. It's thoughtfully decorated, immaculately clean, and equipped with everything you could possibly need for a comfortable stay. We will most definitely be back!

Private Home on Acreage
Incredible spot! The house is gorgeous inside and out. Location is perfect. We will definitely book again! Kristie is an amazing host. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
