One Bedroom Suite

4.8 out of 5 average rating, 92 reviews1 day ago

From the moment I stepped into the Steveston Waterfront Hotel, I knew this stay would be unforgettable. Nestled right on the edge of the water, the view alone felt like something out of a movie—boats gently rocking in the harbor, golden hues dancing on the surface as the sun set behind the horizon. Pure magic. The room was immaculate, with thoughtful touches that made it feel both luxurious and cozy—plush bedding, serene coastal decor, and a balcony that let me soak in the salty breeze with a glass of wine in hand. I could’ve stayed out there forever, just listening to the quiet rhythm of the water below.

Fantastic cottage - close to North Vancouver but so peaceful and secluded. James was a great host - responsive and helpful. James recommended a hike up Cascade Bluff which was stunning. Steep and rocky, so proper footwear required, but a very clear trail. James will send you a map but you can also find it on All Trails as "Cascade Bluff and Jenkins Brook Falls" - you join from the Power Line trail right behind the cottage and skip the long (technical) hike in from North Van! Gorgeous open views down the Indian Arm back towards the city.

Delightful Houseboat near Ladner Village

Absolutely relaxing and beautiful getaway. So magical to be literally on the water with beautiful views and amazing patios both on the East and the West side. And the place is super comfy and decorated with so much love, beauty and fun decorations, arts and amazing plants all over. So much detail every corner you look. And the hosts are absolute delight and super communicative. Unique stay! Would love to go back as I have already!

Cottage by the sea

4.95 out of 5 average rating, 235 reviews1 week ago

Gorgeous little seaside cottage. Exactly as described. Peaceful. Lovely. Cozy. The hosts were responsive and helpful. Residential area with a great cafe close by - within a healthy walking distance. Otherwise it’s all nature and gorgeous homes. There’s a beautiful waterfall hike just a short 7 minute drive away. Bed was cozy (I’m picky). We were very happy with our stay.

Waterfront home on sea wall, expansive ocean view

4.94 out of 5 average rating, 65 reviews4 weeks ago

I’m fairly familiar with Vancouver, so knew the location of Angela’s home was exactly what I wanted for this trip. But when we arrived, I was absolutely delighted to find that the home was even nicer than expected, and provided all sorts of wonderful creature comforts. Angela herself was also fabulous, remaining communicative despite being out of town on vacation herself. She was also very flexible with us when our plans changed and we asked for a last-minute accommodation. In short, I cannot say enough nice things about this home and the host. I cannot wait to have an excuse to return to Vancouver and (hopefully) enjoy this dreamy home again. Thank you, Angela!

Carriage House By The Sea (on Beachfront property)

5 out of 5 average rating, 87 reviews4 days ago

Kelley’s carriage house was an absolute dream. Everything about it was perfect, it was easily the best Airbnb stay I’ve ever had. I wish I could have been there longer than 2 nights. Her attention to detail was amazing and made us feel so welcomed. You can tell she is a master at hosting and decorating. We loved the chess set, fresh flowers and chocolates. Kelley honestly deserves 10 stars. I will be coming back ASAP. <3 Thank you so much!!!
