Vacation rentals with a fireplace in Galiano Island

Priceless views and amazing architecture are showpieces of this magnificent home that combines coziness, elegance, comfort and rustic charm. We’ve stayed at many airbnbs, but this one is a new favorite. It’s an ideal getaway for the whole family; plus it’s close to interesting hikes and restaurants. The kitchen is well stocked for eating at home. We didn’t enjoy the taste of the well water, but bought drinking water at Tru Value. Carley was very responsive and helpful throughout. We would love to come back in the summer.

hôtes très accueillants dans une belle maison avec une magnifique vue ! je recommande !

Amazing place to stay overlooking Salish Sea. Spent hours looking for seals and whales in the sea. Inside is modern, clean and had everything we needed! Host was incredibly responsive and helped out with all our requests. Thanks Christine!

Stayed here for 2 nights, the place was one of the cleanest places I’ve ever stayed at. The hot tub was probably the cleanest one I’ve seen. We knew about the jets and planes taking off so that wasn’t a big deal. Felt very comfortable and at home

Fantastic time here! Private getaway cabin with a unique outdoor sauna made this place extra special. Comfortable beds, and great space. We plan to come again :)

The Piper's Nest was perfect. Clean and well maintained and welcoming. The hosts were responsive and polite, and even though they live on the same property, it truly felt like the Nest was out own, tucked away in a private corner of the forest. Very well designed for relaxation and comfort. Thanks!

We had a great stay - the huge windows and expansive deck take full advantage of the views! We found the location to be fantastic - quiet, near Lost Lake trail (2 minute drive or stroll down the road), convenient to grocery shopping, restaurants, amazing Nanaimo city parks, and the waterfront, where we had a fantastic whale watching afternoon with Vancouver Island Whale Watch. The home was extremely clean, which we really appreciated. There was ample parking, too. We enjoyed the sectional sofas on both levels for family game night and movie night. And, it was SO convenient to have a washer and dryer for washing our hiking clothes. We appreciated that there were basics, like toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags, salt and pepper, detergent and dryer sheets, that we have sometimes had to go out and buy when staying in other places. Nice touch!

What a wonderful spot! Gorgeous views, quiet and serene, a perfect home base to explore the whole island. The kitchen was great for cooking, and we enjoyed several meals on the deck, listening to the birds and taking in the views. Lisa was a great host, and even though her house was nearby, it felt very separate. I highly recommend staying here, and hope to return on future visits to the island!

We had a wonderful stay at Jane’s ! The suite is close to the the Cowichan Valley Trail ( part of the Trans Canada Trail ) which we cycled for 2 days. Also close to town and restaurants and the famous totems of Duncan. Lots of lovely touches and a very comfortable bed . Would highly recommend Jane’s air bnb .

Lydia's place was great for us! So clean, had everything we needed, perfect location. She's very easy to reach anytime and a lovely person. As noted by others there is construction nearby and ambulances bc of nearby hospital but it's only in the day and we got pretty used to it. It's one of the nicest places we've stayed so unless you need quiet all day and won't be going out I wouldn't hesitate to book this lovely place.

Two words gorgeous views!!! Looked forward to having my cup of coffee on Kelley & Kent’s patio every morning. A very peaceful location tucked away from the hustle and bustle of Ganges, but still less than five minute trip into town. Both Kelley & Kent were very welcoming and accommodating to our early check in. Their air bnb had all the amenities you could need to make you feel right at home. Beds were super comfy! I would HIGHLY recommend booking this accommodation, you won’t be disappointed! :) Enjoy!

Wer Ruhe sucht, gerne in der Natur ist und nur einmal die wunderbare Aussicht aufs Meer genießen will, ist hier genau richtig. Das Apartment ist großartig, mit allem ausgestattet und der Ausblick vom Balkon atemberaubend schön. Man kann Robben und Weißkopfseeadler beobachten. Und mit ein bisschen Glück vielleicht auch einen Wal 🐳 sehen. Wir hatten eine tolle Zeit!

This property is an absolute gem, we loved being there! The views are utterly breathtaking. The property is very clean, and has so much warmth and charm. Vicki is warm, gracious, and helpful, with great recommendations for hiking and a wealth of interesting history about the area. We look forward to returning!

Beautiful condo in a perfect location for our trip. Easy to navigate area, grocery and other necessities nearby. Absolutely peaceful environment and always felt very safe. Well stocked kitchen with everything we needed. Highly recommend.

All the comforts home packaged up into a clever tiny space. We loved everything about this place. Within minutes and even a bike ride from everywhere we wanted to be. We rented bicycles from the nearby Trek store and toured around the coast and dt. Highly recommend! Meals were a mix of eating out at nearby places and cooking in the space. We had everything we needed. Chris was so kind and gave is the perfect amount of attention. We highly recommend this space.

My stay at Cindy and Steve's apartment was nothing short of wonderful, and I truly couldn't have asked for a better experience! From the moment I arrived, it was clear that Cindy and Steve have thought of every single detail to make their guests feel comfortable and incredibly welcome. The amenities were outstanding, especially the top-notch coffee bar that fueled my mornings perfectly. The guest snacks were excellent and a delightful surprise. The apartment itself is charming, featuring a nice kitchen area that was a pleasure to use, and the bed was incredibly comfortable, ensuring restful nights. One of my favorite aspects was the lovely backyard area and porch, which provided the perfect spots to relax and unwind. Beyond the fantastic space, Steve was an incredibly helpful and genuinely nice person to talk to. Their warmth and hospitality truly set this stay apart. I greatly appreciate Cindy and Steve making this beautiful apartment available for me to enjoy. I'd love to return!

Sophia was a wonderful host and communicated very well. The basement suite is nestled in the woods along a beautiful tree line and creek, tended to with spectacular flowers. The neighborhood is calm, quiet, and private though a bit removed from local amenities (supermarket ~20 min walk with hills, playground ~15 min walk with hills); we called uber/lyft for most things but having a car would have been ideal. The suite was clean, comfortable, and highly functional for our group. The living areas and bedrooms were spacious and there are 2 bathrooms which is a HUGE win. We loved sitting on the back patio on the lounge furniture, underneath their electric heater, listening to the birds and the creek passing by. If there is one con you need to be aware of here, it is the lack of proper kitchen: expect a small mini-fridge, microwave, toaster, water-boiler, keurig, utensils, and cups; we knew about this ahead of time and still felt like we got all our value from our stay.

Great host great place

Super responsive, proactive and accommodating

Max really takes care of his place and it was even better then as shown on Airbnb. . Highly recommend booking this place.

A sharp modern glass tree house with a butterfly roof surrounded by trees - that makes for a comfortable stay & peaceful positive energy. We very much enjoyed the home and setting. Walls of glass floor to ceiling make it bright & a sense of light energy too. The landscaping is well done so that is nice on the eyes also. On our trip there happened to councide with very early morning & all day heavy machinery construction right next door, even on the Easter holiday. However that does not change my 5 star review. The place itself was excellent. The construction will be temporary + not always heavy machinery. And soon it will end. I just mention this so renters can get more certainty on what will be happening during the days they book. I highly recommend this rental it's a perfect place for 2 people and has a 2nd bed open to the main area that extra family could sleep in. We used that bed in the main room as a cozy place to read. Great master BR giant windows out to trees.

Alice’s house was beautiful inside! Very thoughtfully decorated, the tatami mats were really cool, and there was tons of space! Would definitely book again!

The place is amazing, and Billy was a great host. Every part of the property and accommodation is great. We especially enjoyed the private river access, sauna, and comfortable, well set up cabin. The space is also super flexible with lots to do, lots of places to hang out, and works for big groups. Finally, we loved how well prepared and clear things were in terms of pre-made fire places, instructions, etc. Great experience and hope to return for sure.

This is an absolutely stunning house with a gorgeous view and perfect location for visiting Salt Spring Island. We were 7 adults and 4 children, here for a weekend and it is well equipped for families. (High chair, cribs, etc.) We were able to walk into town from the house enjoying the Saturday market but the house location is private and pristine. There is a very cottage feeling to the place yet it is also large and elegant as well. A nice mix of experiences. The kitchen is well equipped with anything you could possibly want and the house in general is well supplied with books, games, and activities. It is large enough that you can wander off for some peaceful time on your own while at the same time, the living room and dining room could easily accommodate our numbers as well. We did find some of the furniture, while charming, a bit uncomfortable to sit in and the very firm mattress on the king bed was a bit too much for our aging backs, but that's a plus for some.
