Home in Galiano Island

Galiano Harbour View House

KarenRating, 5 stars3 days ago
My husband and I stayed at the Harbour View House for a few nights in March 2025. The views are as stunning as the photos suggest! It is truly a magical place. The home was well stocked with everything we needed for our stay and more. Erik is a wonderful host who is proud to share his home and Galiano Island with his guests. He was highly communicative and gave us lots of great ideas for hikes and other things to do on the island. Galiano is a lovely place to visit - there are lots of great outdoor activities and high quality restaurants too (Pilgrimme, Oxeye, Pink Geranium). There would be even more to do (e.g. beaches) in the summer. We highly recommend this property and we would definitely come back again.

Castle in the Sky

DavidRating, 5 stars2 months ago
Seymour was responsive and check-in was a breeze. We felt right at home in the tidy house with spacious rooms. The labels around the house were helpful and unobtrusive. Great location for tourists, and nature lovers. Shopping, dining and a lovely coffeeshop near by. Comfortable beds and linens. This was definitely the best Air B&B I’ve stayed in and hope to stay here again each time I return to the island.

Creekside Oceanfront Retreat BNB

ColleenRating, 5 stars5 months ago
We had a fantastic stay - right on the ocean with beautiful sunrise and sunset views. The jacuzzi overlooking the water was enjoyed by all. The kitchen is spectacular with everything you could need and the living area is very nice. The full wall of glass windows and sliders with the wrap-around deck was great. The heated floors were an unexpected, but welcome surprise!

Two Story House Close to Nature

AmandaRating, 5 stars5 months ago
Huge home with all the needed amenities for our stay! Was very pleased to find a little closet of kids puzzles and books as well. My kids loved the gems and rocks that were collected around the home. Wish there was a little space where we could have found it what some of them were and where they were collected!!

Tugwell Cottage

Mary And DanRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Tugwell cottage was a great place for our book group to stay. It was comfortable, had a well equipped kitchen and plenty of beds for us (we were nine, and used every bed!). We went for walks in the neighbouring woods, and drove to another hike close by - there are lots of places to hike nearby. It's comfortable, cottagey, a good place to be away from the world with a group of people. It's full of First Nations art! Sabrina was very responsive when we had questions.

Quiet, beautiful modern home with all the necessary amenities. Close to the beach. Very private and peaceful location. Beds are comfortable and everything is tastefully arranged and decorated.

Poirier Cove - house on the beach

AlisonRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Difficult to put into words the magical uninterrupted view from this house by the sea. The house itself is spacious, comfortable and well equipped. But waking up to the view, having a coffee and being entertained by the many sea lions that gathered every day was an absolute privilege. Thank you for our stay. We would be back in a heartbeat.

Dog-friendly cozy cabin in Arbutus grove

MatthewRating, 5 stars4 months ago
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!

Miraloma

ShannonRating, 5 stars19 months ago
This was the perfect space for our family. The open layout and balcony were wonderful. The unit stayed cool on the hot days. The underground parking was very convenient. One note: It is definitely more suited for a couple than family. It is clearly advertised as a one bedroom, but the bed for the 5th person being a single mattress on the floor was a bit of a surprise.

Executive oceanfront/French Beach, 2 bed condo

TedRating, 5 stars6 months ago
We had an incredible stay at this stunning property perched on the ocean in Shirley, BC! The views of the Olympic Mountains from the premium hot tub were nothing short of breathtaking, especially when we spotted humpback whales at dusk on our first night—pure magic! The property itself at moments may feel more like a swanky international hotel with its backlit onyx kitchen and luxurious rain shower yet nestled in the rustic beauty of the coast. Our host, Robert, was incredibly kind and attentive, immediately offering his charging station for our car—a real relief. Highly recommend this place for an exceptional, premium coastal retreat close to Victoria!

The 201 | Your Luxury Getaway

WillamRating, 5 stars5 months ago
This is a great location for driving over to interesting attractions on Vancouver Island. The inside and outside accommodations in the 201 were very comfortable! The beds we slept in provided restful sleep. When you tire of eating out at the many fine restaurants, you can pick up food to cook and eat from a nearby grocery stores or at a bakery in the nearby bakery in Sidney. The 201 has all the kitchen appliance’s you’ll need. The outside view on top of the roof can be spectacular in the early mornings. We parked a second car overnight on Mt Newton Cross Road half way between Wallace Dr and E Saanich Rd. No problem as long as it gets moved around and does sit in the same spot for 3 days straight. Patterson Rd is another location.

Your guide to Victoria

Welcome to Victoria

Perched on the southern tip of beautiful Vancouver Island, Victoria is a classic Pacific Northwest maritime town brimming with charm and culture. Cruise ships, yachts, and sailboats glide through its ports; visitors roam the lively wharf; and offshore, it’s not uncommon to see whales putting on a show. Wander inland and you’ll find that British Columbia’s capital city is full of ornate Edwardian architecture, expansive public gardens, and ample bike paths. Among Victoria’s significant structures are its late-19th-century Parliament Buildings, whose grand facades glow with festive lights at night, and the genteel Empress Hotel, opened in 1908, where you can still take high tea. Victoria is also home to the oldest Chinatown in Canada, where you can find the country’s narrowest street, shopping corridor Fan Tan Alley. Add to this mix three colleges, world-class museums, picturesque rainforests, driftwood-dotted beaches, and stunning shoreline views, and Victoria is a perfect blend of urbane and outdoorsy.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Victoria

Summers are balmy and mild in Victoria, perfect for strolling the city and enjoying seasonal festivities such as Canada Day on July 1 and the Symphony Splash, celebrated in August, when the Victoria Symphony performs on a barge in the harbor. Victoria gets less rainfall than other parts of Canada, and hardly any snow. Thanks to the city’s mild weather, visitors flow through it year round, but in winter the temperatures do dip considerably, and even in summer a coat is recommended for cool nights.


Top things to do in Victoria

Beacon Hill Park

This sprawling waterfront green space is the heart of Victoria’s park system. Its lush environs include picturesque lily ponds and stands of majestic and rare Garry oak trees. You’ll also find an ornate totem pole carved by acclaimed artist and First Nations member Mungo Martin, and the Moss Lady, a large, whimsical sculpture of a giant taking a nap on the park floor.

Miniature World

Travel the globe in a few strides at this museum housing more than 85 teensy dioramas of places real and imagined. London, outer space, and Camelot are just a few of the locales painstakingly recreated in miniature and populated with residents no bigger than a thumbnail. These motorized exhibits include mini trains that zip around, and doll-sized carnival rides that spin and light up.

Craigdarroch Castle

Known colloquially as a bonanza castle, this staggering temple to wealth sits on a hill overlooking Victoria. Built by coal baron Robert Dunsmuir between 1887 and 1890, this imposing four-floor Victorian estate is replete with stained-glass windows, intricate wood carvings, and antique furnishings. Take a tour of its opulent rooms and ponder the cleaning routine.
