Cozy Unit steps from the Beach
I had a great stay at Atrina’s place. It is full of light and clean. One can get to Granville Island in 10 minutes with the ferry which leaves every 5 minutes. Walking downtown is very doable too. I wish only there were tight curtains, I was awakened by the light.

Waterfront city loft
I highly recommend staying at Alison’s place. It has a beautiful view of the mountains and ocean, with great local restaurants and it’s easy to get around to other parts of Vancouver. Her place is very clean and well laid out. It is a vacation in and of itself to stay in and just enjoy the accommodation! Alison was also very flexible and responsive as a host - thank you for a wonderful stay!

Beautiful Apartment Best Area Downtown Vancouver
Amazing central location in downtown Vancouver. Easy to walk to the Harbour, Robson St., Stanley Park, etc. Building was clean and quiet. We enjoyed the spa and pool one evening during our stay. Would stay again.

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.

Salt Spring Waterfront
We had a wonderful stay at this little gem! Very beautiful surroundings and the unit was impeccably organized and had everything we needed for our stay. Kelley and Kent were very responsive to any questions about local recommendations and are lovely to deal with. We loved our time there and would highly recommend!

Luxury 2BR/2BA DT Condo • AC• Parking • Sleeps 6
Had a wonderful stay for a girls weekend in Van! It fit 5 of us comfortably and the two bathrooms were a huge bonus! The space was beautiful, lots of natural light, and the beds were comfortable. We had a weekend of activities planned and we were able to walk to the majority of our destinations! This is a super central spot in a fun area of Vancouver, especially if you’re a foodie! It looks exactly like the pictures :)

Spectacular oceanview 2 bedroom in boutique hotel
Love the apartment and surrounding.

Waterfront studio with amazing view!

Oceanfront Home - 1bdr Suite is a separate space.
This was our second stay at Alexandra's. The house and location are perfect for our family needs. We host a family dinner for other members that live in Nanaimo and there is plenty of room for everyone. The kids love the beach and the adults love the deck and beautiful ocean view. Can't wait till next year!

1940’s Orcas Waterfront Cottage
I can't say enough good things about this house. It is such a special spot. From the minute we walked in we felt right at home. What stunning surroundings. The location is so quiet you can hear all of nature around you. We saw river otters and seals from the awesome deck, so many varieties of birds and critters. Seriously do yourself a favor and visit this place. I'm already planning our return and I got home yesterday.

Maggie's Ocean Retreat located in Neah Bay, WA
Can’t wait to visit again! We had everything we needed for a nice long weekend in Neah Bay. So glad we came in the off season and had the whole beach to ourselves. 5 minute drive to the Shi Shi beach trail head and less than 20 minutes to Cape Flattery. The kitchen had everything we needed for meals, but we’d also highly recommended Linda’s Pizza for a lazy night in.

Montague Lodge on Galiano
We had a spectacular and relaxing stay. The view is priceless and we spent most of our time just hanging out on the back deck because we couldn't get enough. The rooms are comfortable. The dogs absolutely loved the open field. Peter and Larry are super responsive and happy to help if we needed anything. Definitely saving this space for future visits.

Incredible views! Waterfront family beach house
A spectacular place to spend time away. Great for kayaking and gazing at a remarkable view.

Nanaimo's best waterfront! 2 bedroom , 2 bath
We loved this amazing view home in Nanaimo. It is comfortable and extremely clean. Brian is a wonderful host, very welcoming and helpful. He has gone the extra mile to make your stay memorable by having so many extras available for your enjoyment like kayaks, crab traps and even extra shoes! The home has an incredible view and water access that offers a beautiful place to relax each day. We saw orcas, humpbacks, and otters from the deck! My 4 yr old grandson loved watching the ferries and float planes. Nanaimo was so fun. We are planning on coming back and definitely want to stay at this home again.

Water Front Home with Private Dock and Hottub
Such a great place with an awesome view! The house is very big and modern. Everyone who likes it qiet is in the right place here. I can highly reccommend Donovans house to everyone.

Freedom To Fly
We loved our weekend getaway to Christine's Airbnb. the place was very nice and the surroundings were gorgeous.

Breathtaking view with swimming pool-BlueMoon Stay
Great central location. We enjoyed exploring the area. Sohee was extremely responsive and helpful. She provided very detailed instructions that made check in and check out simple.

Granville Island Waterfront Seawall Suite
We were in Vancouver for just over a week and found the accommodation to be perfect for our stay. It felt like a little oasis of tranquility and the suite was wonderfully located for our needs. Walking distance to a lot of amenities and places to eat out, although the kitchenette has everything you need for light meal prep. A relaxing environment with nice touches all round and a great view out into the canopy of trees. We really enjoyed our stay.

Beachfront Walk-out in the Heart
Lovely view from the first floor!

Central Downtown Vancouver Condo w/ Amazing Views
Great stay, thanks, Angie!

50ft. from the Ocean - Spectacular!
Place was gorgeous, Iris was a sweet and responsive host. We will be back again 100%

Luxury 2-bedroom condo beach side Yaletown
Kash is great host, he replies very quickly to email questions. The apartment is exactly like the photos, and is situated in a great location.....Aquabus over to Granville Island, and False Creek is 2 minutes walk, there is a supermarket, 6/7 minute walk, lots of fresh produce, and also hot food counter, there are couple of restaurants, 2 mins, on harbour front. Can recommend "Au Petit Comptoir" 5/6mins walk. The buses to Canada Place or Stanley Park are a short walk 5/10 mins. The pool, at the apartment complex, is a pleasant addition. We enjoyed our stay.

Creekside Condo by the Sea - Unit A
Enjoyed the privacy of the unit and the beauty of Pacific Shores Resort. The kitchen was well equipped with lots of dishes and pots and pans. Heidi communicated well with good information.

Modern 1 Bedroom Apt w/ AC (Licence # 25-156634)
The space is so well-kept and cozy, with nice amenities like house slippers, cozy blankets, and convenient bathroom extras that made me smile and feel really at home. The hosts were lovely and responsive—all in all, it was a wonderful time spent here!
