Family-friendly vacation rentals in North Cowichan

The views were beautiful and the location was perfect! Right by the beach and close to everything. The place was clean and comfortable. I’d definitely stay here again!

We have stayed at this place a few times now and always enjoy our visit. It’s perfect for a big group, has a well stocked kitchen, a cozy fireplace and a wonderful hot tub with views of the beautiful yard. Will be back next year!

Great stay, Jacquie was proactive and clear with communication both while booking and closer to arrival date. Accomodation was clean and comfortable and well equipped for our stay, would recommend!

Really lovely place in Cowichan Valley. Jane was a lovely and kind host. The place was exactly as shown/described, with a well stocked kitchen and a comfortable bed. Would stay here again when we're back in Duncan!

This was our first time in Sooke and we shared Fredrick’s place with a friend we hadn’t seen in years. The warm home like environment, the separate bedroom ,bathroom spaces worked perfectly. The views were wonderful and we dined and explored the area easily. We wished we could have stayed longer.

It was a wonderful stay. Janet was a great host. Place had everything we needed and much more. It’s about an hour drive from Victoria downtown, but it’s an enjoyable drive. Beds are super comfortable, I slept like a baby. Stunning view from living room while watching otters and sipping on morning coffee, as well as enjoying it from the porch or hot tub. We would love to be back.

We had a lovely stay on Mayne in Kate's cozy cabin. The hot tub was great, and we loved the quiet forest setting. Mayne is also a nice island for cycling - fairly quiet roads, and slightly less hilly than some of the other Gulf Islands? An excellent spot for an extended weekend getaway!

Our stay was truly special. The location is perfect—with unobstructed views of the ocean, and the soothing sounds of sea lions and birds in the background. The home is thoughtfully designed, and we had everything we needed to cook and feel at home. The bench with that view felt like a dream, the hot tub was incredibly relaxing, and the outdoor fireplace was the cherry on top. Bree was warm, welcoming, and very kind. We’d love to return!

This cabin was so dreamy! On our drive in, we spotted a beautiful gray fox and a few deer. The forest surrounding the cabin is just beautiful. The cabin had everything we needed. I thought I wouldn’t like to walk to the bath house, but honestly I thoroughly enjoyed it. It’s only a short walk, and it gives you multiple chances to spot wildlife. The bath house is clean and has everything you need. I especially enjoyed the French press coffee and slow mornings reading in the cabin

Cozy private space in a safe and nice neighbourhood, close to a trail to walk the dog. Stay can be a bit on the noisier side with the highway on the other side of the bushes but did not bother us too much.

We had a blast at this comfortable, clean and spacious place. 2 bedrooms & 2 full bathrooms were a bonus. A variety of delicious food in walking distance, the area is definitely vibrant and fun. Comfy beds, especially the one across from the bathroom. Nicely decorated with extras- speaker, world globe, chess. Thank you for welcoming our dog too!

Lovely hosts and a lovely place to stay! Trish and Nick introduced us to the property and their 4 legged friends (goats, sheep, and Bella the golden retriever) who we instantly connected with - they are an absolute delight! We had everything we needed for breakfast, including great coffee!, and felt at home right away. Would definitely return and highly recommend. Thank you, Trish and Nick, for a wonderful weekend!

The hosts were kind and communicative (despite my anxious dog not making a great first impression!). The hosts provided a fenced in 'back yard' area at the entrance to the suite, which made for many sunny hours lounging in the sun after a walk to the river at the back of the property. The interior of the suite is quite basic and not the most private (I believe their office is on the other side of the door in the living room area and not sound-proofed), and you must be sure to keep your food secured as there are a lot of ants in the suite/kitchen - but what the suite itself lacks is made up for by the sprawling green expanse of the farm and surrounding wildlife. The alpacas were curious and friendly, and my dog enjoyed watching the neighbour's geese down the road. Overall I think my dog enjoyed the property even more than the beaches we visited while in town. Thanks again for the stay! I would visit again just to sit at the river and bask in the forest.

Beautiful place, and well equipped. Wife and dog loved it. Easy access to a place to walk your dog.

We love staying here! It’s peaceful and relaxing, right off the Galloping Goose for a quick ride or walk and the kids love being able to have a campfire. The place is clean, has everything you need and all the kitchen tools to cook a great meal. Laura is always quick to respond, and my son loved checking out the fire truck!

A Cozy Retreat in the Heart of Port Renfrew My stay at The French Girl's Lair was everything I hoped for and more. Nestled in a prime location, the cabin is the perfect spot for anyone looking to enjoy the natural beauty of Port Renfrew, especially if you're into fishing. The proximity to the water made our daily fishing trips incredibly convenient. While we didn't get to enjoy the firepit due to the fire ban during our stay, I can imagine how perfect it would have been to sit out on the spacious deck in the evening, surrounded by nature. Even without the fire, the deck was a great place to unwind after a day of exploring, with beautiful views and a peaceful atmosphere. The cabin itself is well-appointed and cozy, with all the amenities we needed to feel right at home. The kitchen was fully stocked, allowing us to prepare meals easily, and the living area was the perfect place to relax. The attention to detail in the cabin's design made our stay comfortable and enjoyable.

This place was perfect for our family of four. we easily felt comfortable and at home. Clean and well maintained. Easy to get to. check-in and check out were easy. Felt very secure. The location is wonderful, incredibly walkable. Close to everything. Would not hesitate to stay again!

Billie’s place was the perfect spot for a trip to Salt Spring Island. Really appreciated the welcome, orientation of the suite and local recommendations. I’d love to stay again and will definitely recommend!

Great space for parents with 3 kids. The kids started each day with a swim. Parking spot was essential and safe. It was in the middle of everything. It was great to have a grocery store around the corner to buy breakfast and fruit for the kids. There was minor noise from the stadium and light rail at night, but we didn’t expect a silent stay so it wasn’t a problem. Was a great place for our needs.

My family of four stayed at Nyna's to attend a wedding over the Labour Day long weekend and enjoy some relaxation time at Rathtrevor Beach. The cabin had an absolutely perfect location for our purposes. It is an easy 20-minute walk to the beach, but we also drove to Rathtrevor whenever the kids insisted on bringing an excessive number of toys to play in the sand. The cabin itself was exactly as described and pictured. We were not entirely sure of our check-in time due to needing to pick up supplies on our way to the cabin, but Nyna still stuck around to welcome us in person upon our arrival and give us a personal tour of the place. She was an extremely responsive and helpful host. We would highly recommend her place to anyone wishing to stay in the area. Thank you, Nyna!

If you are fortunate enough to book Donald’s property, you will not be disappointed. My sister and I booked this unit and were so happy that we did. The property houses many more people, but it was also great for just the two of us. We both had our own bedroom and bathroom. So nice. The location is awesome. We walked on the beach and just relaxed. The pool and hot tub were great. This is a beautiful place and we will definitely be back hopefully. Thanks to Donald and his cleaning lady. Cheers Sandra

Great location for our family to enjoy and explore Vancouver. Wonderful views and very comfortable. Thanks for hosting us!

Super convenient and comfortable. Enjoyed gas fireplace, pool table and comfortable beds. Host was extremely responsive and helpful. We would definitely stay again.

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