Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Vancouver Island

We had a very enjoyable two night start at Haining’s place. Beautiful location, very peaceful, idyllic. A highlight was waking up to see deer in the garden. Great value for money. Excellent host, helpful communication. We would definitely stay again, and would recommend to friends/family.

We spent a few nights here right after our wedding and it was the perfect place to relax and unwind. A beautiful cabin, with a light and airy look and feel. We utilized the hot tub, sauna and cold plunge and all were amazing. We hope to come back again soon!

We had a great stay! It’s the perfect spot for exploring the area and coming home to after a day of outdoor adventures. The hot tub, the big and well-stocked kitchen and lots of space to lounge.

Great repeat stay. The perfect comfortable base for our time in Mill Bay, and a great host. Thanks!

This is one of the best and fully stocked Airbnbs that I have visited in a while!! Dave’s place felt like a true Airbnb experience- he put a lot of thought into hosting guests in his home. I felt he was available and cared for hosting. The home was better than I imagined- with comfortable beds, fully stocked bathrooms and kitchens. The outdoor space was great, the rules were reasonable, the home was big enough, and we were in a great location. We used a car so I can’t speak to access to public transportation, but with a car we were close to grocery stores, restaurants, VIU, and a beach. Thank you, Dave!!

Fish Tales exceeded my expectations. Denise made sure everything went smoothly

We enjoyed our 2 nights stay at this peaceful Airbnb near Campbell River. The beach view from across the house was great. It is about a 20-minute drive from the main part of the town, the quiet and secluded setting made for a relaxing retreat- especially under the clear, star-filled skies. The outdoor fire table was a highlight and created the perfect atmosphere for winding down in the night. The house was clean and well- kept. The sauna worked perfectly, you can book it for a 90 minutes slot and it took about 30 minutes to get warmed up. The space has 3 bedrooms, 1 full bathroom, and 1 half bath. It still felt a bit compact for a larger group, but it worked well enough for our short stay. Overall, a comfortable and quiet spot with some great features. Ideal for those looking to unwind and enjoy nature- beach away from the crowds.

a spectacular place - and really well equipped with absolutely everything you need. it was a bit difficult to get to aa we had to haul our stuff up in a toboggan but it was all part of the adventure. i wish we could have stayed longer just to enjoy Carley's house. i would book it again in a heartbeat.

We had a lovely stay at Billie’s place while visiting Salt Spring for a soccer tournament, and for our first trip with our new puppy! The place was very clean, lots of space, the kitchen had a large fridge and freezer for our snacks, and the bed was extremely comfortable. I even okayed the piano for the first time in years there! We enjoyed having a mudroom to take our boots/cleats/shoes off in and wipe our puppy’s paws before going inside. There’s also a nice lawn in front where we could play with the pup and it was walking distance from the local cidery. Overall it felt like our home away from home during our busy weekend visit.

Booked Colleen’s place for a weekend getaway with the boyfriend, and it was a great stay! No complaints. The decor was really lovely! and it was awesome having your own hot tub, one of my favourite airbnb’s so far. Everything was clean and comfy. Very central location, easy 10 minute walk to almost everything. Even before we had our stay Colleen was so helpful sending me links and what not for fun things to do locally (my first real whistler trip). Thank you so much. We will be back!

It was the perfect getaway for my husband, son, and me. Spent many hours in the hot tub and pool looking out over the lake. Just what we needed to reconnect and recharge! Jamie was a very gracious host.

Our family of 5 plus our dog enjoyed our stay at Oceanside Escapes. Johanna and Julie were readily available to answer any questions that we had before and during our stay. The cabin was well-supplied and had a binder listing many local recommendations. It was a short walk to Rathtrevor Beach which we all enjoyed, particularly our dog. All essential amenities and many attractions were nearby. The central air conditioner was especially helpful in keeping the whole cabin cool during the hotter days. We will be back.

Great place, good people, 30 mins from mount Washington. No complaints :)

This is a great place to stay in beautiful Port Alice. Clean and in a great location. Thanks Liz!

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.

Great little get away. Pool was awesome, hot tub was great. Great fenced front yard for the dogs. Back yard was quite big to be able to play with the kids. Very clean and tones of room. Ryan was great to deal with. Will definitely rent again on our next trip down. Thank you

A super cute, clean , and well appointed cabin… looked brand new! Very quiet with an amazing nature nearby! We wld definitely choose to stay here again.

Beautiful property and views! The wall of windows looking out over the ocean and distant islands is just incredible. Gorgeous outdoor space to overlook it all with a beer. 2 small bedrooms, just enough space for 2 adult couples as long as you're not travelling with lots of luggage. Amazingly well equipped private gym with wifi speakers and infrared sauna (although didn't use this more than once as takes a long time to heat up). Very small shower, but not really an issue. Plus bathtub if you prefer. We appreciated the fresh eggs and coffee, and visiting the chickens. Good location for peace and quiet (bring earplugs if roosters bother you, but we loved the wake up calls!). We'd love to come again - thanks Yashar.

We had a great experience staying at Kat and Pierce‘s place in Ucluelet. Everything was easy to find: the property, getting in, and the appliances. Very cool location in a row of landlocked cottages. The area was busy with fellow travelers and the walk to the beach was about 20 to 25 minutes. There was one parking spot with additional parking down the lane. The cabin was cozy for two people. Great hosts, good communication, and nice property.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The space is bright and peaceful. The patio area feels very private and the amenities were more than enough for a long weekend stay. Would definitely visit again.

What a find, this place. Peaceful, serene, but close enough to countless things on the island that you’re not entirely cut off. The attention to detail with the house is off the charts- the house plants alone are phenomenal. I cooked with thyme and rosemary out of a garden, when does that ever happen? Cannot recommend enough - stay here.

Bree’s place was the perfect place to spend the last 2 nights of our trip. Peaceful and private yet beaches and trails were close and easy to get to. The huge tub was amazing and the provided robes were a great touch. The supplies exceeded my expectations. I would definitely come back.

We had a wonderful stay at the Treehouse, we would recommend this spot to anyone who is looking to get away from the busy city life for a while to enjoy nature and re-charge!

I will for sure stay again. Beds were very comfortable, house is charming and well stocked, and of course the view and the private beach are 🤌. Good to know: expect a little road noise especially during commute times. If the windows are closed you can’t hear it.
