Beachfront vacation rentals in Gulf Islands

Great family weekend getaway. The place looked just like the photos and felt very cozy. Even the details for dogs were great- my dog made great use of the bed. Tasha was quick to respond when I had a question. We are already planning another weekend there. Such a gem.

Wilson’s place was perfect for our group of old friends and young children to get together and spend quality time together. There are so many things for all ages to do throughout the day on the large property to keep you busy. Our days were very fun filled without the need to go anywhere else. The ocean view over the bluff is spectacular, with many different seating areas set up to enjoy a cup of coffee or glass of wine and take in the surroundings. Wilson was proactive and responsive with clear and detailed instructions. Check in and check out were very easy and the place was exactly as advertised - 10/10 would stay again!

This home was absolutely perfect for our family! The beach views are unmatched, and it was more than we expected! The small touches were also super appreciated, including the use of nonscented cleaners, my family has allergies and we were so happy the blankets and towels weren’t stinking of softener and such. We absolutely would love to stay here again!

Had a very peaceful stay at this place with amazing Mt. Baker in backdrop and also got to see the full moon in full glory against the sea water. One could enjoy the sunrise on a clear day which we did and to watch sunset it is a few mins drive and we enjoyed that as well. Overall a clean and cozy place to spend some quiet and peaceful time by the bay.

If we could leave 6 stars we would. Not only what we were hoping for when we booked but somehow exceeded expectations. George was a super friendly and accommodating host. We felt very comfortable immediately and appreciated the gracious hospitality. We hope their place is available next time we visit the area. Thank you for having us and making our short stay so memorable.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this home. The furniture and bed were comfortable (we used the upstairs bedroom). The shower was roomy, and we really appreciated the slip-free mat on the shower floor (no grab bars there, which would have also been appreciated). This is the most well-stocked rental ever--anything we needed was there and more! Best of all was the beautiful setting. We spent lots of time relaxing on the deck enjoying the views, which included deer and eagles. We will certainly return!

This home was clean and very peaceful. Nick was excellent with instructions and fast to respond to any communications. We enjoyed the water view and the tranquil location. Sunsets were fantastic and the close parks were great to explore with our dog. A few things we didn't expect, we expected that since dogs were allowed that our dog would be right at home. We didn't think through the difficulty our dog would have with the spiral staircase. He likes to be able to check on all of us, so if someone was downstairs we had to walk him around the house and in through the downstairs door. The beach was not accessible to our dog. The pilons that acted as stairs to the beach were unsafe for our dog to traverse, so he never got to the beach from the house. Neither of these things were a big deal to us, but it's worth noting if you plan on bringing your pup.

Perfect place to stay on the Sunshine Coast! Cozy, clean, and amazing views. We had the best time & Terrence was a great host.

Great place to stay in Birch Bay! Dan and Sherri were great hosts, the condo was very comfortable and had a nice view of the bay. Very responsive and answered all our questions promptly and clearly. Would stay here again!

Our stay at the Strand was simply magical and will hold a very special place in our memories for many years to come. Every attention to detail in all the furnishings, kitchen/bathroom amenities and local recommendations were so thoughtful and made this magical place feel like home, a very warm, peaceful and relaxing home! The beautiful photos from this listing were what attracted us to this booking but the reality was even far more breathtaking, stunning and exceeded all our expectations. We’ve stayed at many Airbnbs around the world and the Strand has to be one of, if not the, BEST one we’ve ever stayed at. Thank you Nikki for a magnificent stay - we loved every moment of our 5-nights holiday from Australia! 😊

Place is stunning and the view is the best. I think of the properties I’ve stayed in this unit was the best appointed meaning just filled with tasteful stuff you may need to enjoy the place and surroundings. Also, Margaret clearly knows how to design. You won’t be disappointed - you’ll feel they’ve outdone themselves. Stay here.

Place was gorgeous, Iris was a sweet and responsive host. We will be back again 100%

Beautiful guest home with a cabin vibe and modern washroom. Amazing panoramic view and indoor fireplace. You wont find a hot tub with a better view. Would definitely stay again.

This was our second stay at an Airbnb in Nanoose Bay at the Pacific Shores resorts. Chelsea's place was top of the line. As described, clean and comfortable. Everything we needed and more. Comfortable for the 6 of us who stayed. We loved the location and lay out of the condo, and loved being able to utilize the resort amenities as well. We hope and plan to stay here again next year and for many more to come!

Stayed here for 5 nights with a 2-year-old, we liked it so much we added another night. Very comfortable space with thoughtful details and well-stocked kitchen. It made traveling with a toddler so much easier. Minimal noise from nearby units. Large space. Great amenities at the resort. There were a few hiccups and the host was responsive.

Great stay and highly recommend! A very unique location and so much to do on the property. We especially enjoyed being so close to the water, the pool, hot tub, and comradery with the other guests on the property. Overall, a 5 start experience and my wife and I hope to be back soon!

Beautiful space and area overlooking the ocean, awesome having our own beach, and use of kayaks etc. Sleeps 6 comfortably but the hidabed in living room for 2 more guests very uncomfortable, needs a foamy on top of the springs! Loved the sunroom and games box, lots of different sitting areas❣️

Christina was a gracious host! The house was exactly as described and the scenery was absolutely stunning. We plan on coming back that's for sure Clean bathrooms, bedrooms and kitchen. Couldn't have asked for a better place to experience Clallum bay and call home base.

I have come to this home multiple times and it is a special place. Beautiful, cozy, relaxing…I will be back!!

This home was absolutely stunning! The views of the bay were breathtaking — we could have sat and watched the water for hours. The bed was incredibly comfortable, making it easy to relax and get a great night’s sleep. The shower was also amazing — spacious, with great water pressure, and the perfect way to unwind after a long day. Everything about this stay felt peaceful and luxurious. We can’t wait to come back!

This house measured up to all our expectations! Perfect for two couples who want some separation with a king size bed in one of the downstairs bedrooms. The view was soul soothing. Eagles, deer…even a couple of otters. And then there is Mt Baker in the distance. Can’t be beat. Clean, comfortable. Highly recommend!

This was my second time staying here, last time was in 2018, and it was just as amazing this time around. Everything was just as described and even better than the pictures. The house is so clean, cozy, and well provisioned. You can tell Emily really takes great care of this place. I would absolutely stay here again!

A true gem of an AirBnB. The photos were accurate but somehow still didn’t do justice to the beauty here! The house was spotless and well-appointed. Location is great— close enough to Coupeville to eat some delicious meals out, but private and lovely enough that you might opt instead to stay at the house, relax on the deck and take in the view. Would definitely repeat and would recommend to others.

Wonderful spot where you can completely disconnect. Listen to the birds and the sea lions off in the distance. Great spot for dogs with it being fully fenced. The linens were fresh, clean and crisp. The entire space was exceptionally clean.
