Vacation rentals with a patio in Sechelt

Sandra was delightful, friendly, and very personable. She had great recommendations for local spots based on our itinerary for the day, and gave us lots of local tips. Her place felt safe, and she had lots of thoughtful touches like snacks, drinks, books, and good shampoos and soaps! I would stay there again :)

The attention to detail made this interior space feel welcoming and inviting from the moment I arrived. I can't think of a thing that could have made it nicer. The views were everchanging with a variety of weather patterns during my stay. The ocean and sky were so interesting, even dramatic at times. From the windows I saw eagles, seals and the herring season that came and went, turning the water a tropical blue. So funny to see, when we know the ocean is freezing this time of year. Fishing boats were there a few days, taking their catch. Then walking in the neighbourhood, even the occasional deer to surprise you. So many paths to the beach to walk along the rocky shore when the tide is out. Daytrips are easy to go to everything, from this location. Just a short drive to the main highway and you can see so many interesting things available on central Vancouver Island. I imagine in the summer it would be even lovelier. The hosts were so friendly and helpful.

This place is a hidden gem. We loved all of the amenities (especially the outdoor hot tub). One of our favorite parts of our stay was speaking with all of the neighbours about where to go, where to eat, etc. One neighbour even showed us around the resort including the trail system behind. It was a beautiful place filled with lovely people.

Travis’ place was perfect for our family’s three nights stay on the Island. He had the single mattress and the pack and play set up for my kids before we arrived. The set up is perfect for a multi generation family trip. We got to really enjoy the amenities such as the pool and the pickle ball court. Would definitely consider renting again here!

Home away from Home, is how I would describe this. From the moment we walked in, we felt like we were not only welcomed there but that we could feasibly own this place. We stayed a total of 5 nights, and were began to feel sad after the 4th night, knowing we would have to leave. Being literal steps from the ocean made for beautiful sunsets and serene mornings. The area is fairly well protected from winds as we were facing a North-West direction. The indoor pool, hot tub, gym and games room are all within a quick 3-minute walk. The indoor pool is very large with a large shallow area for the kiddo's. Indoor pool has a Dry Sauna as well. The hosts, Kimberly and John, are very communicative. There is a provided binder with local amenities and Places of Interest. We took their suggestions and had a wonderful time getting to know the area! All-in-all, we thoroughly enjoyed our time here. We have officially decided that we will be making Vancouver Island our yearly destination.

Enjoyed stay, great location, clean and comfortable. Reasonable price. Would recommend and would stay again.

had a beautiful weekend on the Sunshine Coast at Sydney’s place. It was so peaceful and all the little touches throughout were so thoughtful. would def recommend, thank you Sydney! :)

Great value accommodation in a quiet area. Helene was very responsive to inquiries and provided helpful tips. Would stay again!

Ingrid and Marc's as hosts have gone above and beyond with all the amenities you will need for your stay. Bench 170 as a home is also beautifully designed and incredibly livable. I would love to stay at Bench 170 again and would highly recommend it!

The place was amazing. The views from the deck were incredible! Such a quiet and peaceful place to relax. We really enjoyed the shower and nespresso coffee machine

The place is lovely and I loved the attention to detail. Even the toilet paper was stamped. The view and comfortable cottage was just what we needed

I recently stayed at Ashley's place, and it was an exceptional experience! The property was exactly as described (and even better in person). It was spotless, cozy, and equipped with everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The attention to detail in the décor and amenities made it feel like a home away from home. The location was perfect, especially the view was amazing. I loved the closed huge backyard too because of my dog. Ashley was incredibly welcoming and providing clear communications. I would highly recommend this place to everyone. We definitely gonna stay at this place again. This time Summer.

Everyone loved this beautiful house. Lots of space for kids to play, and the house was equipped, furnished and stocked so thoughtfully. Michelle was so friendly and responsive and made sure we're enjoying the place to the fullest. As a bonus, kids got to play with the house cats in the backyard!

The place is very clean and cozy. Ben was accommodating for our early check in. He offered the local newspaper to look up events and freshly baked muffins after a day of hiking. Lovely stay. We would love to go back.

great location and value . It's close to everything in lower Gibsons. The hosts took me in on short notice too. Will stay again if it's available!

Ben’s home is absolutely beautiful, had an amazing time. The environment is absolutely relaxing, felt at home. The location is beautiful, it was great to be surrounded by nature. Had a very relaxing trip with the family, would definitely return again.

Our family loved the spacious, bright two bedroom layout! The furnishings are beautiful, and the beds are super comfy. The kitchen was well stocked and the water views from the balconies were a wonderful bonus. The amenities are fantastic, the restaurant is conveniently close, and the pool, gym, and sauna are great additions. The outdoor hot tub feels like a natural hot spring & the 12ac beach front resort allowed for coastal exploration. Tannis was a great host & very friendly. We’ll hope to stay here again in the future.

Beautiful spot to spend a few nights! Awesome facility, loved the outdoor hottub. The unit was very comfortable and nicely decorated. There seems to be no insulation between the suites, but fortunately the neighbors were all quiet while we were there

Randy and Barb’s home was absolutely perfect. The condo is beautifully decorated and it’s even more lovely than the photos. The view is unmatched. We watched the tide come in and out each day. The peaceful water views are a dream. We usually visit Florida each year and this year we wanted to stay in Canada. My family had a fabulous time and we can’t wait to come back. Our three year old loved the playground and the kids hot tub that had a slide! Endless fun. The resort has a delicious restaurant, a spa, trails and kayaks. Everyone was so friendly. Thank you Randy and Barb!

This condo was so great! I could live here. It had pretty much anything you could need for a short or long stay. The full kitchen was nice with the full size, 6 person table. There were several condiments, tea and coffee left in the kitchen to use. The bathrooms and beds were beautiful. Even the hide-a-bed was fairly comfortable. The pool, hot tub and gym were in a different building so we only used them once. The beach and walking path were right outside the door. The walk is definitely worth it, even if you don’t have a lot of time. Other than the shoreline, Nanoose Bay is within an hour of many hikes, waterfalls and hidden gems to explore. We didn’t find a bakery or grocery store within walking distance. The closest would be Parksville which is not far. But you do have to drive or set out for a long walk. We will definitely stay again if we are in the area. Thank you!

Kim hosted some of our family for our wedding at Pacific Shores. Everything went great, checkin was easy and Kim was super helpful, responsive and communicative about everything needed for the place. Lovely condo in a beautiful resort. 5 🌟 experience!

The apartment had everything we needed and we felt right at home. The kitchen was well equipped, everything was well labelled and Andrea even had “kid” dishes so it suited us perfectly. There is a dishwasher which was great:. The place was tidy and clean. We had meals outside and enjoyed the view from the patio. The kids enjoyed the small outdoor pool which was heated. There is access to a marina from the property but no beach. Andrea was very communicative and responsive. She answered questions about the unit when needed and was helpful to provide local recommendations for beaches and things to do. We arrived late at night in the pitch dark but Andrea’s instructions to find the unit were helpful and much needed as there were no signs indicating any unit numbers that we could see. Overall it was a great stay and I would recommend Andrea’s apartment to anyone exploring Halfmoon Bay!

We stayed at Dawn's Nest Feb 17 to March 17 2025. The location in Nanoose Bay was ideal for us as we like to tour. We went south to Victoria, north to Comox, west to Port Alberni and Tofino. The view from the 4th floor was amazing especially at high tide when it came right up the creek by the building. Sheltered parking, elevator, sauna, two hot tubs, large pool, beautiful walking trails along the shore etc made our stay very relaxing and enjoyable. It was our first time renting on the island. We are sure we lucked out and got one of the best the first time. We would definitely stay here again. Thankyou Dawn and John for helping to make our holiday a great one holiday. Don and Peggy.

Great and peaceful space, nice and quiet in October. Kids friendly 🤸🏻‍♀️amazing facilities at the resort too. Lovely bedrooms. Awesome view of the creek and tides. We can't wait to return again!
