Vacation rentals with beach access in Cowichan Bay

Great view, clean and well located

We stayed one night at Russells place. The location was conveniently situated for us in relation to the ferry terminal. What we appreciated about the location was that we had our own entrance and space. It was lovely to be able to sit outside on the balcony. The bathroom was spacious, with nice toiletries. Unfortunately, we couldn't cook in the kitchen, but we were aware of that as it was mentioned in the description. Luckily, the Nanaimo bars made up for it. What we personally find a bit of a shame — and this unfortunately happens at almost all Airbnbs — is that there’s no personal contact anymore. A key lockbox is very convenient, but we also feel it takes away a bit of the personal touch.

We stayed for 9 nights and it was exactly what we were expecting in a city stay. The apartment had all the basics, there’s a grocery store less than one block away, the amenities were great, and the neighborhood felt quite safe too. Parking was secure but tight for my mid-sized truck but that’s to be expected in a parkade. Many thanks!

Magical!! Even more beautiful than the photos. The place was exceptionally clean and hosts very responsive. Communication excellent. I would love to come back here and just sit and enjoy the view some more.

Easy access to the heart of dt Vancouver. If you’re going over for an event or conference then this location will be perfect. Easy instructions with secure parking, you’ll be happy you’ve stayed here.

A wonderful stay in an absolutely stunning location! The photos and description are perfectly accurate, and the place is wonderful to spread out relax or use as a homebase while visiting Sidney. Both bedrooms and bathrooms are spacious and stocked full of amenities, and the kitchen is very functional with a great open room and beautiful balcony overlooking the water. Victoria is about a 25 minutes drive away (depending on traffic) but the suite is close to many amenities including stores, restaurants, the Victoria Airport and the ferries to Vancouver. Highly recommend and would stay here again.

This is a gem of a find! This is your home away from home for visits to Vancouver. Thank you Carly for all the little things that added up to make our stay even more special! Looking forward to booking on our return trips!

After travelling to Vancouver, many times in the past few years, I have to say that this is our favourite Airbnb. The location is fantastic. It’s close to the university many restaurants and the beach. Patrick was amazing host too, came out and met us when we arrived and was always responsive to my questions. He allowed us to plug our car into the garage outlet. The place it’s itself is spotless and brand new with all the amenities listed. Comfortable beds which is always a very important part of traveling! I’ve already put it in our favourite category for Vancouver stays. We will be back!! Be sure to get a cinnamon bun from Ground for Coffee. It was epic!!

What a wonderful place for a vacation! We loved the proximity to the beach, the quiet locale, and the cozy, well-provisioned house. We would definitely return to Treasure Cove Beach House.

We had a great family holiday in Sooke. 9 adults and 1 toddler. Close enough to go into Victoria! (Even by e-bike!!) Spent some time on the Galloping Goose and exploring East Sooke Regional Park. We spent some time on the water and in the nice big hot. The beds were all very comfortable!

words can’t describe how amazing this home is! the view of the olympics and beach access made our vacation truly special! the home was clean, spacious and had everything we needed, including plenty of beach towels, a few toys for the kiddos, books and even binoculars! we will absolutely be back!

Our stay at Bullman Beach Inn is always one of our favorite trips of the year. The beach is peaceful and quiet with lots of wildlife. It's also perfect to let the kiddos run and play with lots of freedom and safety. It is also a super quick drive to lots of other great places to explore. Carolyn is a warm host that our kids love. And we all love Augi the Beach Cat. This place is a hidden gem of our Washington Coast.

This house will make your trip to San Juan even more memorable. Barbara’s attention to detail amazed us, we kept discovering little things around the house, like a tray with games, additional blankets and pillows to stay cozy in the living room, flashlights in the nightstands to find your way around at night (it’s actually not needed since Barbara thought about motion lights around the house). If you want to feel being taken care of, Barbara’s place is highly recommended!

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.

The house had great accommodations and it being right on the water was absolutely perfect. It was so peaceful and serene, wish we could have stayed longer.

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!

Ideal location close to great restaurants and sites (lots within walking distance), and a beautiful apartment. The check-in could not have been easier, and our host responded quickly to questions. Very highly recommended!

We had such a wonderful stay at Kate’s place! The location was perfect — tucked away in a quiet spot downtown, but just a short walk to so many great restaurants, shops, and attractions. Having a parking space was a huge bonus since we had a rental car. The unit was super clean, easy to access, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Just a heads-up for future guests: the AC unit isn’t installed until May, so it was a little warm at night even with the fan and windows open, but it was totally manageable. Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely recommend Kate’s place — we’d happily stay here again!

Kristine's place was exactly as described and is in a perfect downtown location. We had easy access to lots of restaurants and attractions and transportation was easy as well. The condo itself was clean and had everything we needed.

What a wonderful place, cozy, clean, great amenities including the beautiful and private balcony! Great location!

This location was perfect for exploring Vancouver. Our stay at Kay’s place was absolutely wonderful. The apartment was impeccably clean and tastefully decorated. Kay’s communication was exceptional and always quick to respond. We especially appreciated the amazing local tips of places to eat. Thank you for making our stay so enjoyable we would definitely recommend staying here.

Loved staying at Alex’s place! The building was very safe (I was traveling solo), her apartment was spotless, and the room was comfortable and quiet. I took advantage of the parking space and that was a huge perk. The bathroom has an oversized tub that was wonderful to soak in after a long day at the conference I was visiting for. I’d definitely stay here again!

The apartment was in a great location for exploring Vancouver. It was close to the ferries to take you to Granville or Kitsalano. The picturesque seawall walk was just down the street taking you to Stanley Park or Yaletown. There were lots of cafes and restaurants within easy walking distance. The apartment was compact and had everything we needed for a 5 day stay. We would definitely stay here again on any future trips.
